TO PRESIDENT

day was asked by the House APP
preparations committee to call a
new naval armament limitations
conference in the hope thatan agree
ment may be reached among the
world powers for limitations auxil-
larry naval vessels OF less than
10000 tons.
The report was incorporated in
the naval appropriations bill re-
ported to the House yesterday and
thus the approval Of Congress will
be asked on the committee action.
The same powers that signed the
epoch-making naval limitation
treaty OF the Washington coference
Under which a ten-year naval holiday
in capital ship construction was de-
clared and nearly 20 big battleships
scrapped. would be invited to the
new conference under the House
committees plan. These nations
are the United States Great Britain,
France, Italy and Japan.
In asking support for the provision
requesting, the President TO call the
new conference, the committee de-
clared that already some nations
are planning large building programs
along the lines not restricted by the
Washington conference. The COM
mittee pointed out that the confer
ence limited only capital ship CON
struction and placed a 1O,0O0-ton
limit on auxiliary craft The COM
mittee warned the other powers that
this government Will not allow any
nation to outbuild 1t in aircraft, sub
marines or other naval auxiliaries
If an agreement to limit them can
not be reached.

programs are planned OF vessels up

Reduction in the prices OF turkey
hnd other fowl during the Christmas

turkey will probably range from 90
10 rs cents a pound, he said.
These particular fowl will probably
not begin to appear in the local mar
get until the Friday before Christ
mas. other fowl. such as chickens,
win bring moderate prices. At pres
ent chickens are selling in the King
street market ut from SO cents to 40
cents pound. with ducks at prices a
few cents higher. The supply is very
small, the belief being that farmers
are saving as many as possible for
The usual Christmas rush.
Eggs still maintain their high level
