FRANCES conception of her needs
in the way of a defensive navy
and the firmness with which her dele
gates upheld their position brought
about a complete deadlock in the
Washington conference last week and
made it almost certain that no agree
ment will be reached by the present
gathering concerning the reduction
and limitation of submarines and aux
iliary naval tonnage. The other pow
ers participating in the conference
were willing to concede the fairness
of the French position concerning the
reduction of her land armament, but
they feel that in this naval matter
France is demanding too much.
Albert Sarraut, having received
fresh instructions from Paris, told
the naval committee that France ac-
cepted the allowance of 175,000 tons
of capital ships, contingent upon per-
mission to begin replacement building
in 1927 instead of 1881, but insisted
that she be allowed 10000 tons of
submersibles and 100000 tons of aux
iliary ships. The submarine tonnage
he asked Is equal to the maximum
proposed by Mr.. Hughes for Great
Britain and the United States and
three times what France now has.
Mr.. Balfour, in language as plain
as diplomatic usage permits, retorted
that France could want such a subma-
rine fleet for no other purpose than
y,Cko fhnf n
plan was direct threat against
Great Britain, and that in the circum-
stances the British would agree to no
limitation in the building of cruisers,
destroyers and other anti-submarine
vessels. To NJ. Sarraut's assertion
that British fears of French aggres-
sion were baseless since Britain was
allowed a capital ship tonnage greater
than that of France and Italy com
bined, Mr. Balfour replied that, in the
event of war between Great Britain
and France. England having no large
army. could not strike at the heart of
France but France, employing a great
navy of submarines against commerce,
could destroy the Every existence" of
Britain. To the layman it would seem
that Mr.. BalfOur had the best of the
debate, but NJ Sarraut was unyield-
ing Therefore Mr.. Hughes, deploriEg
the attitude of the French, an
nounced with regret that an agree
ment on the reduction and limitation
of submarine and auxiliary tonnage
appeared impossible.

All He Had.

The cadets were having rife inspec-
tiOn. A lieutenant had just inspected
"a rifle and handed it back to the young
private in most snappy manner. 1t
was the priyate's first year in high
school, and he was trying to be as
snappy as the best of them, so he
made a very quick grab for his rifle.
He grabbed the gun bit off balance.
IL swayed and he almost committed
the objectionable sin of dropping It.

- consin has come out with the re-
markable statement that a secret con-
ference was held in Washington De-
cember 9 by representatives of the
railroads and of the coal, steel and
lumber interests, and that they at
tempted to obtain from farm organi-
Zation leaders, and did obtain from
some such leaders, adherence to an
agreement not to push legislation to
repeal the guaranty section of the
transportation act and to restore state
control of state transportation rates.
'If the farmers of the country abide
by the agreement entered into by few

will defeat the united demand of farm
erS in every section of the country for
relief from the present extortionate
railroad rates."
James r. Howard, president of the
American Farm Bureau Federation,

denies that there was anything secret
or unholy" about the conference.

NAIL EIREANN during its recess
- has been hearing from many Sim
Fein clubs and other organizations of
southern Ireland, and in every in
stance, so far as known, has been
urged to ratify the Irish peace treaty.
Investigators report that fully 90 per
cent of the people in the island-ex-
cepting Ulster-are in favor of ac-
cepting the pact. The English press
is confident it will be ratified. and the
British authorities at Whitehall are
busily working out the details of plans
for the immediate handing over of the
government of the island to the new
Irish provisional government.
Just to prod those members of the
Dali who still oppose the treaty, Pre-
mier Lloyd George last week issued a
statement to the effect that the Brit
ish government had gone to the ut
most limit, and that not only the re-
lection of the treaty, but even its
alteration by the Dali would render
it null and void. "TO reopen the dis
cussion," said he, (which has been
closed only after the most exhaustive
consideration of every point. would
be a fruitless proceeding and is I'M

CONSIDERABLE progress was made
- in settling the Chinese puzzles.
Mr.. Underwood's compromise plan for
the Chinese tariff was accepted by all
the powers. This provides for an i'm
mediate increase in tSriff of per
cent ad valOrem, a future increase to
778 per cent, and an increase to 121b
per cent when the provincial tariff is
abolished. 1t may be three or five
years before the increase to ~ per
cent goes into effect, since Japan and
India require time to adjust their in
duStries.
Apparently the deadlock between
China and Japan concerning Shantung
was complete, and it was said there
would be American and British offers
of mediation this week. But from
Tokyo came the assertion by "high
officials" that Japan had gained her
main point and the whole dispute
probably would be settled soon. When
China agreed to negotiate with Japan
for the purchase of the railway, it
was asserted, she acknowledged ia
pans right in the road won from
Germany. China's offer of treasury
notes in payment for the railway does
not suit Tokyo as China has been un-
able to pay similar notes outstanding
Japan wants payment by a bond is
sue, which would prolong her control
of the railway until cash for the
bonds could be gathered by the Chi
neSe.
An organization of on-Bolshevik
Russians has appealed to the confer
ence to consider the situation in east
ern Siberia before adjourning. In the

NNE wonders whether President
- Harding is not already repenting
his Christmas mercy in freeing Eugene
Debs from prison. From the moment
of his release the Socialist leader has
been emitting a steady stream of
sentimental bunk, disgusting to all
save those who believe, like Debs,
that all prisons should be abolished,
that lawbreakers should be petted
instead of punished, and that the
proletariat can do no wrong. With
the expressed intention of starting out
to obtain from every man, woman
and child in the world a pledge never
to take up arms, he yet gives ex.

(Farm Bureau News Service.)
Price reductions on farm machinery
manufactured at the Minnesota state
prison, granted in response to a re-
quest by the Minnesota Farm Bureau
federation, have saved farmers $780,
900 this year.
A report from the state prison ma
chinery plant shows that 7,108 farm
machines have been sold this year.
These sales include 2,379 binders,
3,O28 mowers and 1,7O1 rakes. They
represent an increase Of 139 per cent
in the sale of binders, 38 per cent in
the sale of mowers, and 10 per cent in
the sale of rakes, over the number of
machines sold last year.
The price reduction obtained by the
farm bureau has saved approximately
$150,000 for the farmers who bought
these machines.
AS result of the activity of the
state federation, farmers have gained
more confidence in the prison machin-
! ery," Myer Bernstein, manager of ma
chinery sales, said in an official report
"Very few more, if any more, harvest.
ing machines were sold to farmers in
1922 than in 1921, but we did receive
a larger percentage of this business

alleged "deserter" was found to have

in the Italian army. The depart

these two cases.
When the lists of alleged "draft
deserters" were first given out news
papers, familiar with the blunders in
army records, disclosed in the lists of
casualties, knew that gross errors or
mistakes would be made in making up
the desertion list. Most newspapers,
therefore, refused to publish the lists
as likely to do irreparable injustice to
the reputation and standing of inno-
cent men who had served Loyalty. The
fact that the department is still send
