Brandegee For Foreign Affairs
 Is Reported
Death of Senator Pen rose Opens Path For Advancement to Chair manship of Important Committee for Connec- ticut Senator.
Especial to The Times.)

Washington, Jan. 4-Senator Frank B. Brandegee of Connecticut as the next chairman of the Foreign Affairs ate was the forecast confidently made today by prominent Republican. who is a member of the inner circle of the party organization. This authority declared that the sudden death of Senator. Penrose has opened the path for the advancement of Brandegee, whose favorite committee in the Senate has been Foreign Af- fairs. where he has acted chief lieutenant of Senator Lodge, the chair man.
 Between Lod ge and Brandegee on the committee in seniority have stood Porter J. McCumber of North Dakota and William E. Borah of Idaho, but it has been on Brandegee that Lodge has invariably leaned, and Brandegee against the Treaty of Versailles, Mo Cumber being too friendly to the League of Nations and Borah too ex- treme in his hostility to suit Lodge. Penrose's death means the elevation of McCumber to the chairman nship of the Finance Committee and his retire. ment from Foreign Affairs. Borah is not trusted by the old guard. He forced the armament limitation con- ference on the administration and was ignored when the conferees were selected.
 In the Church of the Covenenat in Washington on New Years Day, in a speech circulated by wireless all over the country through special arrange ments, he denounced in terms just as vigorous as those he used in assailing the League of Nations, the five-power treaty for control of the Pacific, which has been one of the chief fruits of the conference. Lodges health is failing and his grip on the Bay State organ ization is slipping. He may not run again for the Senate, and if he runs may find himself running second to a Democratic competitor. The tip is that the sceptre now held by Lodge in either event will pass over the head of Borah to Frank B. Brandegee.
 Senator Brand egee Is chairman of the committee on committees which will fill all committee vacancies in the Senate. and will call the members to- gether in a few days.

(BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS)

Washington, Jan 4. - Practical completion of the report to be sub mitted by the committee of naval ex- perts to the naval committee of the armament conference and agree ment of the subcommittee on Chinese tariff on a five per cent. effective basis, were two important develop ments today in the conference situa- ton.
 The naval committee may be called to meet this afternoon or tomorrow it was said, to receive the report of the experts, which will embody pre- else definition of the replacement schedule as we'll as the exact method of scrapping ships which are to be eliminated from the navies of the signatory powers.
 Taking note of the statement of the Paris Temps cabled to the Unit ed States this week, that one of the quotations from the famous castex ar ticle read by Lord Lee of the British delegation to the arms conference naval committee could not be found in the article, the British delegation today cited the quotation.
 The quotation from the article by Captain Castex of the French naval general staff as read by Lord Lee was:
 Thanks to the submarine we (F'rance) possess the instrument. the martingale, which will definitely and forever overturn the naval power of the British empire D
 The Temps declared 1t was unable to find such a passage. The British delegation statement asserted the quo tation question could be found rat the bottom of Page 24 of Captain Cas- tex's first article on "synthese de la guerre sous-marine," published "un- der director of the historical section of the naval staff in 'la Revue Mari time'' for January, 1920" The state ment then adds:
 What ever may be the tnterpreta- ton of this particular passage 1t must be obvious to every reader of the writer as evidence by the other passages which Lord Lee quoted and which the Temps does not challenge, is to expound and defend the German methods of submarine warfare on comm merce as practiced in the late war"

 At Noon Meeting

eff we should, whilst regarding only one phase of our fiscal problem. accept policy which will make 1t more difficult for foreign nations to trade with us, how can we realize the abundant business we are all hoping for?' was the question asked by Alba delphia Chamber of Commerce and Pennsylvania State Chamber of Com merce to the members of the local Chamber who attended the meeting and dinner held in the Stratheld ho- tel this noon.
 In his address on present condi- tions and outlook for future prob lems. MT. Johnson said:
 I have sometimes thought it better to be an optindst and be wrong than to be a pessimist and Der fight. be- cause optimism tends to lift business out of depression whilst pessimism tends to sink 1t deeper. Perhaps on this account many who discuss bus mess subjects in public addresses knowingly give a stronger glow Of op- timism to the:r statements than they vete conversation. For this. reason we are inclined to distrust the op- tinism' of public addresses. We nave had false hopes held up again and again. The favorable turn predicted in the tide of prosperity has not come, but the ebb flow has continued. But when we have had slack low water until we have become discouraged let us not fail to observe the turning of the tide when it comes.
 It is essential that as a basis for re- newed prospjerity the country shall bring sufficient influence to deter nline:-
 1. That the statutory rule authortz- ing adequacy of railway income ana Federal control shall be preserved. 2. That the Interstate Commerce Commission shall be protected from political pressure in the administra- ton of a rate policy calculated. to vieId net income sufficient for ade- ouate additions and betterments. 3 That labor cost shall be adjusted to the net income requirements de- terrnined by the commission (Continued on Page Six.)

Predict Greater
 Socialist Party
By MILDRED MORRIS.

New York, Jan. 4-Plans for a merger of Socialist and Labor political groups into & new national party to be operative by 1924, with the possi- bility of Eugene V. Debs as its stan dard bearer, are under way. It was learned here today. The merger of all radical and liberal forces, in cluding Socialists and trade uniors affiliated with the American Fedora ton of Labor for united activeness in time for the next presidential election comprises the gist of the move which would follow the lines Of the British Labor party.
 Debs, who was but recently released from the Federal prison at Atlanta is said to favor the coalition along the lines proposed.
 A number of the American Fedora ton of Labor unions already have en- dorsed the movement. W. H. John ston, president of the International Association of Machinists, the third biggest union in the Federation of Labor is named as one of the lead CTS.
 Morris Hillquit predicted great Socialist revival with the war re- sentiment against the Socialist party at an end" and with Debs out of prison to take the rfeins.
 He declared the party, which split during the war will be built under Debs' leadership into a greater So- cialist party than ever before
