LONDON. March % QNSO-
Some Of the mystery" surround
ing Americas much discussed
willingness to participate in q
European consultative pact was
swept away today when it was
learned from an authoritative
source that two very definite con-
ditionS had been laid down gov
erning Americas entrance into
such treaty.
The principal condition is that
a workable five-power disarma-
ment treaty must be formulated
before consultative pact can be
agreed to. The other is that
Frances security demands must
be settled before the pact is even
discussed.
To begin with. International
News Service learns that no ma.
ton or statesman has yet ap
preached the American delega
ton here requesting American
participation in a consultative
pact. It is known definitely that
any such approach would not be
in order until these two prelimi-
nary American conditions have
been fulfilled.
Thus the entire pact question
hinges upon reduction Of the
French tonnage demands. which
in it's turn is dependent upon
mutual guarantees of security.
The Americans insist there is no
use discussing consultative pact
until it is certain a five-power
treaty will materialize. If the
French figures are reduced, the
latter treaty will be possible.
The American delegates are
not running around offering a
consultative pact, and there will
be no discussion Of such pact
between the various delegations
unless the preliminary conditions
are fulfilled. If a consultative
pact materializes, it can be stated
on the highest authority that
such a pact will not follow the
four-power Pacific treaty as It's
model.
The American view is that a
five-power London consultative
pact, modelled after the Pacl1lc
treaty, would be broader and
more entangling than any wise
American would advise his coun'

The "wet" and dry issue at
the British embassy is still unde-
cided, according to Lady Ronald
Lindsay. wife of the newly arrived
ambassador and future chatelaine
of the new embassy building on

Lady Lindsay frankly admits
that the embassy officials have
not as yet made up their minds
whether or not they will follow
the policy of the former ambas-
sador, Sir Esme Howard. who re-
nounced his diplomatic immunity

INDUSTRIAL GEOGRAPHY.

OF the sweeping changes in indus
trial geography since the war none is
more striking than that which has &C.
CURED on the Pacific Coast. California,
once synonymous with gardens, or
chards, forests, mines and oil, is a typ
ical example. It's industries now out
weigh all these.
Speaking before q meeting of the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States, Frederick j. Roster summarized
the change by this illustration
GAS to industrial development" he
said, that has taken place during the
last decade and half, namely the IS
years ending with 1928, let me present,
merely as an example, what has taken
place in California; the value of manu-
featured products (Some two billion, six
hundred million dollars in 1920 in
California now exceeds the combined
value Of the products of the farm, the
forests, the mines and the fisheries.
California has already become an indus
trial State. In the Is years its manu-
featuring pay rolls increased 81 per
cent, the products of manufacture ia
products 800 per cent. I quote these
California figures as an evidence OF
Western progress. In 1925 to 1927, two
years, there was no increase in the to-
tai Of United States manufacture. but
the Pacific Coast showed an increase
Of 4 per cent, or about $160, 100000.

COAL HAS FIRST PLACE
AS SOURCE OF POWER
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 28.-Coal still is
king as the greatest energy producing
force in the world, but not by the
margin it enjoyed two decades ago.
A survey by The National Industrial
Conference Board shows that in the
period between 1913 and 1928 the pro-
duction of power by coal increased only
per cent.
Production by crude oil and hydro
electric power increased 243 and 1872 per
cent, respectively, and natural gas 1873
per cent. Coal, however, remains by
far the greatest producer OF electrical
energy.
