The breakdown of the railroads

value of good roads as national
asset and for bringing the farm pro-
ducer and the city consumer closer
together. thus cutting costs and ex-

words concerning the good roads
work Of the department are called
for here.
On November 9 the federal highway
act was passed, making available SIS
O00,O for cooperative road improve
ments. On November Is the Secretary
of Agriculture apportioned this
amount to the states. On December
6 the chief of the bureau of public
roads met representatives of forty-siX
states at Omaha and made the follow
ing statement with reference to push
! ing forward the road work
Because of the unemployment situa-

BILE relief that may be obtained
through the highway program. prof.
ects will be approved without delay
for the building of roads which the
states and district engineers of the
bureau agree will lie upon the federal
aid system.

possible to expedite projects that can
bring any relief from the unemploy-
ment crisis now. or that will shorten

The S75,00O.000 appropriated by the
federal government, it is estimated.
will produce a total road program of
not less than S175.000,000, as the states
have on their own initiative in the
past contributed larger part of the

goes for labor directly and that about
% per cent more goes for labor of
auxiliary character such as prepara-
tion of materials, transportation. etc.

was placed under construction federal

Lloyd George has another gift which is inds-

All this was clearer in the old days when Lloyd
George was fighting the budget campaign and the

Since the war his role has changed. He has been

that of the American naval eX-
perts) that the submarine is
valuable defensive type; and SO
the Britons were defeated. 1t
is evident, however, from Mr..
Hughes remarks concluding the
discussion, that the British argu-
ments convinced him. 1t was sug-
gested by M. Sarraut that con-
ference of representatives of all
powers interested in the Subma-
rine be summoned to consider the
question of it's abolition, and such
action seems likely.
1t will be recalled that in his
plan submitted on the first day
of the conference Mr.. Hughes pro-
posed submarine tonnage allow
ances as follows: 10000 for the
United States. $4,000 for Japan.
He now proposed $4,000 for
Britain 10000 for the United
States, and for Japan, France and
Italy the tonnages they now pos
sess lie, approximately, 3l,5eO
for Japan, 81, 500 for France, 2l,-
600 for Italy). To this proposal
only the American and British
delegates assented.
Senator Schaner declared that
Italy's allowance must not be less
than that of France. "'The Japa-
nese delegation felt constrained to
insist" on the allowance original
ly proposed for Japan-that is,
$4,000 tons. NJ. Sarraut must con-
suit his government.
On the 2Sth NJ. Sarraut an
nounced that France would not
accept Il submarine tonnage total
of less than 10000, nor tonnage
total of auxiliary surface com
batant craft less than $4,000.

declared that the question of linn
itation of defensive craft is quite
