the Government, the vote being 10 for,
to 238 against. The Government opposed
the commission Of enquiry as leading to
a conflict of authority, in as much as the
judicial investigation was impending.
At the opening today of the second day
of the debate, with the question Of the
Governments responsibility for the
banks suspension of payments under
consideration, Premier BRAND was ag-
"~essively attacked by the opposition,
\ as aggreSsively defended himself.
The Oremier declared that a battle be-
tween L.. mt groups of banks Aad OBJ
strL cd the measures contemplated for
puttl The bal k in question on its feet
again. ANU that if the distractions con-
tinued, the measures could not be car
ried out. The Premier explained the Cir
cumstances under which Philippe Ber-
thelot, general Secretary of the Foreign
Office, whose resignation yesterday was
Trecipitated by the previous debate in
the Chamber on this subject, had inter
vened to aid the bank, which was head
ed by Andre Berthelot, his brother. The
Premier said he regretted deeply that M.
Berthelot had seen fit to resign. He
abs"lved M. Berthelot absolutely, but
conceded that if he had seen it, he pro.
baby would have sent in the same form
the telegram M, Berthelot sent to Maur-
ice Caseneve in the United States, ask
ing him to intervene with the United
States banks. to have the cheques OF the
Industrial Bank Of China protected. Min
lister Of Justice BOnnevay announced that
fnrty-two informations had been filed
against Andre B~erthelot, Chairman of
the BOARD, members of the banks Board
and other officials. -9rious charges O.

ting juuge had not finished the secret
enquiry. If the tribunal found { @cient

London, Dec. 27th-Declarirg that

desire to open relations with Russia, the
London Times confirms the reports of
Dec. 10th that Mr.. Lloyd George has
suggested a five power conference which
representatives of Russia and Germany
would be invited to attend, early in Jan
uary. It says, however, that the confer
ence will not meet until February, at
which time it is expected M. Tchetcherin
the Russian Soviet Foreign Minister, and
M. Litvinof will have visited London,
and by their answers to certain questions
will have prepared the way for the pres

Washington, Dec. 18th. The comprO-
mise prOpJ al for the settlement of the
question of submarine tonnage on the
basis of the status quo for France, Italy
and Japan, and a reduction of go, 600
tons each for the United States and
Great Britain appeared almost certain of
failure today, through objections by
France and Japan, when the full naval
committee of the armament conference
resumed sessions for the first time since
Saturday. VILE the nature of the in
structions from the French Government
on the submarine question received by
the French delegation late yesterday had
not been revealed, it was said in respon-
sible circles that France would formally
disagree to the United States proposal
under which she would be allotted about
81, 500 tons in submarines against 80, 600
tons figures, suggested by French naval
experts as her minimum requirement.
Whether the French delegates were au-
thorized to make any compromise on the
latter figure spokesman for the delega-
ton declined to say. The Japanese dele
gates already have fatty rejected the
United STATES proposal which would re-
3uce their submarine allotment from
81, 900 tons under the original limitation
plan to 81, 900 tons and although they
are communicating with Toxic n the
situation. there was no indicatj today
Of any intention to recede from their
stand for the higher figures. Should
the United States plan be finally re-
jected, what the next step may be
in an effort TO solve the submarine
problem, upon which apparently hinges
the entire question of Limitation of auxi-
Iiary warship tonnage, had not been
indicated today. With so wide a differ
ence of opinion revealed in the submar-
inc controversy, however. there appear
ed to be an increasing disposition among
the delegates to consider a plan for leav-
ing the whole question Of auxiliary ton
mage to a later international conference.
In higher United States official circles, it
was said, a concrete proposal for a fu-
ture conference might be laid before the
delegates within a few days.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 1s, 1922.
FIGHT ON TAX BOOSTS HELPS
PUBLIC.

\ saving OF $32. 500. 900 to the tax
payers of Chicago is claimed by the
Civic Federation of Chicago as a re
suit of its efforts in arOusing the pub
lie sentiment against the tax boost
proposals submitted at the last SEES
sion of the legislature. In the bien-
NAL report. the officials detail the
work during the last year and give
special emphasis to the fight against
unnecessary increases in taxation.
All tax payers and rent payers are the
benefcidries according to the report.
In part the report is as follows:
During the last year alone the fed
GRAFTON has been directly instrument
al in reducing the tax bills of Chi
cagoans payable in 1922 by from $3.50
to 510.25 depending upon locality per
$1,000 Gull value as determined by
the aSSeSOTS).
The aggregate saving in 1922 tax
bills throughout the city between what
was proposed by the taX-spending
bodies and the increases finally grant
Cd by the legislature after we had
aroused citizens to organized protest
to city officials and lawmakers will
average throughout the various taxing
districts of Chicago over $32,5OO,OO0
Bulletins So to 43 inclusive tell of this
work in detail
The executive committee desires to
Teiterate that the established policy
of the Civic federation is not to en-
courage citizens to oppose increased
public expenditures and tax rates
merely because they will increase tax
bills and rentals The federation Op-
poses additional expenditures and tax
rates only when the need cannot be
clearly demonstrated and the extra
tax Will constitute an unreasonable
burden upon citizens generally.
The foregoing saving, therefore,
was not at the expense of needed gov
ernmental functions. 1t represents
protection against waste and eXtrava-
gance and taxpayers were entitled to
an even greater saving had they been
more effectively organized"

removal of rubbish old papers ana
other inf1ammable materials that
might increase fire risks. Cleaning up
of easements, warehouses, stOckrOOms
and in some cases alterations in build
ings are being ordered where neces-
sary. In each case where work is to
be done the property owner is given
card from the Illinois state free EN-
plOyment bureau and told that he may
obtain men to do the work by calling
the bureau.
The plan was proposed to Mr.. Cul-
lertOn by Alderman Mulcahy and Will
fred S Reynolds, chairman Of the en-
plOyment procurement committee of
the Chicago conference on unemploy-
ment.
