BRAZIL WANTS TO KEEP PROTECTION
Opposes Disarmament at Expense
 Of Guarding Coast

Buenos Aires, March 19-(By As-
 Pan-American conference at Santiago opposed to any plan for reducing or ! limiting armament expenditures which would deprive her of an adc- quate protection for her coast and
 coastwise communications, Afronio de Mcllo Franco, head of the Brazilian delegation told the correspondent to- day. | He said it was correct to infer that this attitude implied Brizils unwill- ingness 10 accept the original sugges- ton of Chile that armament eXpendi
 lures be limited or reduced in equal proportions. and also that Brazil was
 not willing to accept limitation of
 armaments to the status quo in South America.
 Senor Franco pointed out that
 Brazil possesses enormous stretches
 of territory and unlike Argentina and
 less so than Chile, Brazil has not a
 tailroad system which connects all
 parts of the country. Sea communi-
 cations are the only means of reach | ing these isolated sections.
 War in South America is incon- | ceivable,' he said, "and it is the far thest from the thought of the Brazil
 ian people and government to seek
 hegemony in South America through naval power.
 All that we want is adequate pro- lection. As long as we are assured of this we are willing that Argentina and Chile should have such navies as they please: but reduction or limita- ton in equal proportion or even by preservation of the status quo, will not assure this because of the fact that Brazils navy at present stands third in South America and we should be limited by these propositions in providing for our necessities.
 We have the fullest confidence that the discussion at Santiago to which we are going to in the friendliest spirit will lead to an amicable under standing. e.'

ALLIES TO MEET TUESDAY
 TO DISCUSS BILL OF U. s.
Amcrica's Rejection of Proposals Re- ceiyed Today--$255, 900, 900 Wanted To Pay For Army.

Paris, March 19.- (By Associated Press)--A refusal by the United States to accept reduction of its bill for the expenses of the American army of occupation by the value of the German ships seized in American ports was presented today to the all lied representatives in conference here on the reimbursement question, by Elliot Wadsworth, assistant secre- tary of the treasury.
 Reimbursement of the $225, 100000 expense in 12 annual installments out of possible German reparation pay ments, which the allies proposed, is accepted in principle it was stated, but Mir. Wadsworth made it plain the American view was that the bill should be paid and that it was not the concern of the United States whether it was met out of German payments or otherwise.
 The allied representatives in the face of this rejection of their propos- al presented last week and afterwards submitted to Washington called 0 separate meeting for tomorrow at which they will try to evolve another proposition which would be given MT. Wadsworth at a full meeting of the conference Thursday.

CLERGYMAN ACCEPTS
 GALL ID BAY STATE
Rev. Joseph PelecOVich Leaves Wednesday for Parish in Boston

Rev. Joseph Pelocoyich, rector of | Holy Trinity church, will leave New Britain Wednesday to answer the call
 of the Greek Catholic Congregation in
 Boston, Mass, Rev. MT, Peleeovich
 has made his home in New Britain
 for the last five years and during that time has labored hard not only to make the members of his congre-
 gation good Christians but loyal Am erican citizens as well.
 It was due to Rev. Mr. Pelecovich's strenuous effort that the congrega- ton. although small, has completely cleared off the~ debt on the church property. Many invitations were ex- tended Rev. MT. Pelecovich by other congregations, with the consent of the ecclesiastical authority, to serve them, and although he would be better off financially by accepting. he refused saying that he would not leave Holy Trinity church until the affairs of that church were brought to a state as- suring further and unimpeded growth.
 When in November 1919. the con- gregation of the Ukrainian Immacu- late Conception church had no priest, Rev. MT Pelecovich gladly served for two years, until the congregation was able to have their own priest.
 Besides his church duties Rev. Pele- covich took considerable interest fla the affairs of the city as well as in the Americanization work. He was a member of the Chamber of Con- merce, and an advisory member of the New Britain Parents and Teach CTS association.
 Rev. Pelecovich is a father of five of whom the eldest son is a lawyer in Washington, D. C., and of the well known patent law firm of A. M. Wilson, having graduated two years ago from George town university law school with the degrees of master of laws and mas ter of patent law. The other son, upon completing the course of science and arts in the University of Penn sylvania, is now a convalescent in Denver Colorado, after an illness.
 The eldest daughter, Nellie, is a 1 medical student in Tufts college. An other daughter Irene. has graduated | rom New Britain High school and l will have an opportunity to go to col ege in Boston. The youngest dauga- l CT, Mary, is now a sophomore in the l New Britain High school. In a con- petition two years ago, Mary, then in he eighth grade of the Grammar school, was given second prize in the 'orm of a silver medal for writing a brief history of America.

WORLD FARLEY MAY
 BE UP FOR ACTION
International C. of C. Likely to
 Discuss This Matter

Rome. March 19, (By Associated Press) ).--Negotiations among the vari- ous delegations to the second con- gress of international Chambers of Commerce suggest that the question of calling conference of nations to discuss reparations the stabilization of exchange, the restoration of interna- tional credits, the interallied debts, may come before the delegates.
 It is understood that according to the present plan a resolution fayoring such a meeting will be presented by the American delegation in the finance section of the congress. This reso- lution, 1t is sad, will be supported by the representatives of other coun- tries.
 It has been suggested that the con- ference be held in America.
 Premier Mussolini, speaking at the formal opening of the congress yes- terday said he was convinced that a government which wants quickly to uplift it's own people from the after war" crisis must give free play to private enterprise, and forego any measure of state control or state pa- ternalism which may perhaps satis- fy the demagogue.
 "The time has come," the premier continued, when we must take off the shoulders of the producing forces of the nations the last remainders Of what we called war harness and ex- anime the various economic problems with feelings undisturbed by those passions with which it was necessary to consider them during the war.
 q do not believe that the complex of forces which in industry, agricul- ture, commerce banking and trans- portation may be called with the glorious name of capitalism is about to end"
 The premier added that the dele gates should realize they were not only considering restoration of Europe but should remember that there are other nations and continents which in the near future may be the field of agricultural activity"
 In conclusion the premier said the of such large American delegation in the discussion meant that American economy feels it can not avoid an interest in which can or cannot be done in Europe.

UNSOLVED RADIO MYSTERY
Govt. Scientists Trying to Find What Causes "Dead Spots" Which Pre- vent Exchange of Messages.

Washington. March 19. - Govern
 ment scientists are trying to deter
 mine the cause of dead spots' be.
 tween a number of cities in the United States which form an almost impen- etrable barrier to the direct exchange of radio messages. The most pro- nounced of these appears to be be- tween Washington and Baltimore. To get a message to this point less than 40 miles distant, Washington senders are using Chicago and other compara- lively remote cities as 8 relay point. The pleasures of radio concerts are almost completely lost between the two cities. ~ --
 Dr. J. H. Dellinger, chief of the radio division of the bureau of stand ards, who is trying to fathom the mystery, reports that a similar diff culty exists between Pittsburgh and Cleveland, Hartford and Boston and Providence and Boston.
 The most plausible theory now ad- vanced Dr. Delinger says, is the ex- istence of radio activity in these dead spots which so affects certain layers of the atmosphere as to render transmission of radio waves impossi- ble. ,r, @ta
 In the case between Washington and Baltimore, theories advanced in other quarters are that the dead spot may be caused by the electric railway line between the cities; by the numer- out high tension cables and conduits between them, or by the topography of the country.

REVENUE FALLS OFF
Occupation Causes Decline in German Rail Income-Very Heavy Increase in Floating Debt Results.

Berlin, March 19 (By the Associat- ed Press)-The occupation of the Ruhr was largely responsible for the remarkably heavy increase of 557,- 900, 0,000,000 marks in Germany's float ing debt in the first ten days of March says a statement issued by the finance ministry.
 The statement says that as result of the occupation the railroad rev. enue fell off extraordinarily, obliging the roads to call upon the federal treasury for large drafts. Expendi- lures in fulfillment of the Versailles treaty and the after effects of recent wage increases were also factors.

HOUSE OF DAVID SECT
 FEATURES IN LAW SUIT
Trial Will Delye Deeply Into Fo,lnda-
 ton of Denton Harbor Re- ligious Greed

Grand Rapids. March 10 tBy the Associated Press )--Trial of suit which attorneys for each side say will dclve to the very foundations of the House of David. religious colony at Benton Harbor. was begun in fed- eral court here today. The action Is that of John w. Hansell and wife of Nashville, Tenn. instituted to collect sS0, 1000 from Benjamin Purnell head of the colony, the plaintiffs claiming that sum due them from property turned over to the organizations when they joined the House of David and for labor performed by Hansell, his wife and six children while they were members.
 Hansell and his wife, the bill of complaint sets forth were expelled from the organization. Defense at torneys say the expulsion followed al- legged attempts on the part of Hansell to organize a revolt in the colony against the leadership of Purnell.
 Hansell and his wife allegc in their bill of complaint that fraud was prac- ticed upon them when they joined the organization, declaring they were led to believe the colony was of re- ligious nature only. They assert they discovered the House of David en- gagged in various commercial activities in Benton Harbor.
 The defense will contend, it was an- nounced, that the colony was solely a religious organization. Purnell con- tends the Hansell suit can be decided only by the ecclesiastical court of the association at Benton Harbor.
