WILL REFUSE SALE
OF ISLANDS TO S.
President of France Pledges
Against Transfer of Mar
Unique and Guadalupe.
BY WILLIAM f.. NASH.

Copyright. 1922.
PARIS. November Ex-senator Ber-
enger has obtained from President
Millerand written agreement not to
sell the islands OF Martinique and
Guadaloupe to the United States. This
puts quietus on the reports that
France might be persuaded to trade
off her West Indian possessions
against the war debt she owes the
nited States. For sentimental. his
, torical. economic and social reasons
the French government considers il
impossible to auction off those ancient
bits of French territory.
'SecOnd Alsace-Lorrnine."
Why. Martinique and Guadaloupe
constitute second Alsace- Lorraine
for us" said Senator Berenger to the
writer today. They have been occu-
pea by the enemy fully as often as
the two Rhine provinces.
ihey have belonged 10 France lo,
centurleS. and as remnant of her
lrSt colonial empire they mean more
TO the affections Of the French peo-
PIE than certain parts of continental
FRANCE like Nice, Savoy andCorsica
Some OF the greatest names in French
history. among them chGieu. Mira
beau and the Empress Josephine. are
connected with these islands.
The exploits of the French fleet
under Admiral de Grasse. which did
, niuch for the independence of the
nlted States. based its operations on
Martinique. Believe me when l tell
you as senator for Guadeloupe and
chairman of the budget committee
that France will view with distrust
any attempt on the part OF the United
States to acquire her West Indian
possessions.
Regarded AS Useless to L. s.
From an economic standpoint. the
French say, the Antilles would be
useless to the United States The
sugar. cotton and tobacco raised there
can be grown more economically in
Louisiana. and the rum. which is
much appreciated in France. is an
article of trade forbidden to Yankee"
consumers.
From the social standpoint, the
anomalous. Both Martinique and
Guadeloupe are peopled largely by
black men and halt-hreeds who feel
themselves to be French to the core.
They vote in the French elections
and elect colored deputies to the
welt. in his visit to the islands in
1910. is said to have remarked that
the inhabitants were the happieSt
mixture of black and white blood he
i had ever seen.
Regard French Rule ns Best.
, NJ Candace. the deputy for Guade-
, loupe. claims that his compatriots
! are better off under French rule than
| they would be under that Of the
| United States. NJ. Berenger thinks
the recent reports Of a change of
! flags have been put out by financial
! groups rather than by government
authorities. Both men deny that
! there is any sentiment in the islands
| favoring annexation to the United
States.

"SHOP EARLY" IS SLOGAN
OF LONDON TOY DEALERS
Assert Thousands of Orders Are
Untitled in Germany and Can
not Be Executed.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, November 1.-THE
Christmas toy merchants this year has
one of the best arguments for the
"shop early" admonition that they
have had for several years. AL
though in the United States the
Thanksgiving turkey is just begin
ming to have uualms regarding its
fate. everybody here is beginning to
talk Christmas and what 1t may bring
forth. The first do your shopping
early" talk began to appear in the
warnings that toys may be extremely
scarce.
It is asserted that thousands of
orders for toys placed in Germany
early in the spring cannot be exc
cuted partly because Of the excessive
demand and partly because when the
orders were placed the exchange rate
was l.240 marks to the pound whereas
it now is $4,000.
Il is predicted, however. that a con-
venient substitute for toys, especially
for scientifically inclined youngsters.
will be. wireless outfits, for which
England is developing a veritable
craze. Precocious youths. to the dis
comfiture Of their old-fashioned faith
ers. now are talking glibly Of trans
mitters and coils and using other
technical terms in speaking Of radio
sets.
Ore consolation for this Christmas
is that oranges. even the juicy stock
ing variety. will sell as low as three
pence the dozen.

FABRE LINE QUITS
RATE CONFERENCE
Forces Open Competition in
Observation-Disclosures
TEL Parley Disrupted.

After the withdrawal OF the Fabre
Line from the freight conference Of
lines operating to French Mediterranean
and North African ports yesterday, the
other members decided to declare open
rates. The conference will continue to
meet, but rates will be established by
tho individual members. The Fabre
Line also withdrew from the Spanish
Mediterranean and North Coast Of Italy
conferences. These decided not to sus-
pend rates.
simultaneously it became known that
the United American Lines had with
drawn on Wednesday from the Conti-
mental European conference. after the
refusal Of the other lines to declare
open rates on several commodities.
This virtually disrupted the conference.
as the outside lines now include four
powerful organizations-the United
American Lines, in n Joint service with
the Hamburg American Line, the Rear
don Smith Line, the American Metals
Transport Company. and the Lloyd
Royal Beige. The ports affected range
from Hamburg down to Bordeaux. in
elusive.
Most Of the developments in the last
by the lines outside the conferences.
The Reardon Smith Line, of which the
United States Navigation Company is
American agent, has pursued the policy
OF quoting 10 per cent below the estab-
lished rates. In this way several large
contracts in the Hamburg trade have
been obtained, and the United American
Lines desired to be In position to meet
the Reardon Smith rates whenever 1t
was found desirable.
Within the past six weeks the Rear
don Smith Line has been sending ships
to Mediterranean ports. and has fol-
lowed its established policy in those
routes. The recently organized Aneri-
can Algerian Line has also been under
quoting. When large quantity OF
freight seemed destined to be diverted
to the outside lines, j. w. Elwelf e Co..
agents for the Fabre Line, decided to
withdraw from the conference.
The effect on rates Of the current de-
velopments is problematical. When the
continental conference broke up a year
ago quotations fell to fraction of
their present levels. AS soon as open
rates were declared yesterday In the
French Mediterranean and North Afri-
can trades one of the members imme-
diately cut sugar from 81 a. ton to s6.
1T was pointed out yesterday. however,
that business has been exceptionally
good of late in the continental and Med
iterranean trades, and that space for
several important commodities, notably
grain. has to be booked well in advance
OF sailing.
On the other hand, II was shown that
the recent increase in business has had
the affect of bringing out additional
tonnage operated by the lines outside
the conferences. Meetings will be held
-. - g.
ences. Next Tuesday the Continental
European lines will meet, and an effort
will be made to bring the United Ameri-
can Lines again into the game.
