Text Has Been Sent to Printer

Washington, Nov. 2s.-President Coolidge put the finishing. touches on his message to congress today and the document was sent to the printer

 Edward P Farley. chairman of the shipping board. who has just re- turned from Europe. had an engage ment with respect to merchant ma rine. Inasmuch as the message is completed, the conference swill not alter recommendations already made. It was said at the White House that the merchant marine proposals pre- riously had received the approval of Mir. Farley.

ITALY DISAPPOINTED
Piqucd at Britain's stand on Tan gier-NIay Be Reason for Warmth Toward Spain.
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press
 Paris, Nov. 2S.-The Franco Brit ish agreement as to the future status of Tangier is regarded here as one of the reasons for the warmth of the exchanges of compliments in Rome by the kings of Italy and Spain and by the heads of the two govern ments, Mussolini and Primo de Rivero.
 The Italian government is known to be greatly disappointed at the re. fusal of Great Britain and France to admit Italy to the Tangier negotia- tions, while Spain. in view of the united opposition to her ambitions on the part of the British and the French, was anxious to have Italy come into the agreement. The Span- ish delegate to the conference now is delaying action on the final draft of the document providing for the new status, with a view, it is believed here. of giving the Italian premier time to find some way Of getting in his word.
 In the new convention as now adopted in the Anglo French com promise, tho principal features are the open door in time of peace and naturalization in time of war, with the zone Of TanGier remaining under the full sovereignty of the sultan of Morocco. The French gained the point that the town and the IIinter- land must remain under the sultan's sovereignty Tho British gained the point that Tangier must not be per- mitted to be used by any one in case of war.
 Spain's claim for control being res iected. compensation has been offered her in the shape of the extension of her zone of influence. which thus far has not been accepted.
