Canadian Pacific Line
 To Leave Conference

London, Dec. 15 Pl-The London office of the Canadian Pacific Steam ships, Limited. today confirmed re port from Liverpool that the com pany is withdrawing from the North Atlantic conference and that notice has been given that the company's withdrawal will take place in six weeks. The withdrawal is said to be due 10 a disagreement over recent developments in the policy of the transatlantic steamship traffic.
 The Liverpool report says no doubt efforts will be made to com pose the differences. as probably none of the lines desires at this luncture when the Atlantic traffic is showing promising signs, to en- bark on competitive enterprises that probably would lead to rate war.
 Nt is understood that the Canadian Pacific Steamships, Limited, Is dis pleased with proposals made by the other steamship lines for stimulating their passenger traffic.
