The world production of sugar for

to be less by from 10000 to 500 900

consumption for 1922, it was thought

ARMED TRADE. SHIP
SNAG' '|nNAVY PLAN
Presents Complication as Ex-
perts Complete Draft of Five
Power Treaty
SEE SHANTUNG AGREEMENT
BY the Associated Press

Washington, Jan. 9.--The sub com
mittee draft Of the fve- Power limita |.
tion treaty had been virtually completed
today by the naval experts and the full
Naval Committee was prepared to begin
discussion Of It probably later in the
day or tomorrow.
The most generally debated question
appeared to be whether an attempt
should be made to lay down a specific
definition Of q merchant vessel as bear.
ing on the relation Of the arming OF
such craft to the proposed limitation
OF auxiliary naval craft 10 10000 tons
and also the banning of submarines as
commerce destroyers. The experts yes
terday had difficulty in reaching agree
ment on some of their technical defini-
tions, and II was intimated that the
question Of defining a merchant ship
within the meaning of the treaty has
been. or might be, brought up again.
Although IL was the original inten :
tion Of the American delegation at
least. as indicated by Elihu Root not
to attempt to define q merchant ship
beyond the definitions Of international
law, some of the delegations are known
to regard Il as one that cannot be
passed over.
The Italian, japanese and French all
are said to feel that failure to place
restrictions on the arming Of merchant
men not only might vitiate the project
to limit the individual tonnage OF aux q.
iliary warcraft, but also might result
in a great disadvantage to nations with
small merchant fleets.
The British delegation, having given
warning at the time of the failure Of
the proposal for limitation of submarine
tonnage and of the size Of submarines
that in these circumstances Il could not
consent to any restrictions of potential
anti submarine forces, was said to be
prepared to bring the question before tho
full cuEimittee, IL necessary, and to
argue tnat merchant ships may carry
guns without becoming auxiliary war
vessels and thus subject to attack with =
out warning by submarines.
Although the Shantung controversy
meantime remains in deadlock, there
was evident in both the American and
British groups today belief that the
mediation of Secretary Hughes and
Arthur J. Balfour was almost certain
to bring the japanese and Chinese to-
gether again on this long discussed
issue. In American quarters hope was
expressed for an agreement during the
week.

PROPAGANDA AGAINST ARMS

John Barrett Declares Sinister Doc.

W aShIngtoD, Jan. o.-(By y. l.. -
A sinister propaganda apparently
enanating from Washington, against
beth the purpose and success of the
Arms Conference IS reaching through
the mails the majority of homes In
the Central West, especially those of
foreign born families" John Barrett
former director of the Pan. American
Union, declared in statement issued
here today.
The result of this propaganda. he
said, is that while that section is
sympathetic with the aims of the Con
ference, its sympathy is tinged with Il
measure of suspicion as to its good
results"
Mr.. Barrett said he also had been
impressed with "a new rapidly growing
feeling in the Central West against
Washington as the capital and New
York rs the financial center of the coun-
try" This, he said. was due to the
serious agricultural depression and the
vigorous opposition of New York to the
ST. Lawrence Great Lakes deep water

surrounding section has 'set its heart"
