 United States 211 300 tons.
 Britain, 195, 800 tons
 Japan, 1142OO tons
 Total reduction, 521 300 tons.
 Most important among the proposals which failed at the conference was that prime objective-five- power limitation.
 The United States and Britain also failed to secure abolition of submarines due to opposition by France, Japan and Italy. The British abandoned effort for reduction of sizes of gun calibres on battleships and France failed to obtain the mutual-security guarantee which she demanded before she would reduce her high requirement figures.
 Italy failed to achieve her demand for parity with France due to the flat refusal of France, and France failed to secure insertion of the compromise plan for global category methods of limitation of navies into the treaty. The compromise plan which all delegates had approved will be trans mitted to the League of Nations Preparatory Disarmament Commission.
 Japan failed to secure the principal of 70 per cent. ratio, although that possi- bility is not closed in the future; and the four powers failed to induce France to cut down her projected building program on her high demands. The British failed to secure an agreement limiting the displace- ment of six-inch cruisers

Two MILLIONS
ASKED BY PROS
Enforcement Committee
Would Enlarge Force
Of Dry Agents

WASHINGTON. Nov. 1o.-CPJ-
Better enforcement of prohibition
planned for next year is to cost
more than ever but not so very
much more at that.
In contrast to the considerable
sums which both friends and foes
of prohibition in congress have
sought to appropriate from time to
time, the governments enforcement
officials plan to ask for a raise of
50, 400, 900.
Appropriation requests prepared
by the liquor bureaus Of the justice
and treasury departments. call for
a total of approximately SIT 10000.
For the increase they intend to
offer the taxpayers 500 new dry
agents and 80 more medicinal liquor
and industrial alcohol inspectors,
And there will be larger staffs Of
clerks to handle the work turned in
by the new agents, which the dry
chiefs confidently expect will be
more extensive and efficient than
ever.
OF the total, the justice depart
ment's enforcement unit under Di-
rector Amos w. w. WoOdcock. is
asking sl1 ,200.0 00. During the cur
rent fiscal year the unit is getting
$4,000, 600 out Of the sl5.000.0 900 al
lowed by congress for prohibition
work. If congress grants his re-
quest, Woodcock will have 1000
regular agents, plus 200 special men
for big conspiracy cases. several in
spectors and the "a instructors who
now are teaching the agents just
what to do and how not to act.
The treasury's industrial alcohol
division headed by Commissioner M.
Doran seeks about s200, 900 on top
of its current $4,000. 900 share of en-
forcement money. Salaries and adj
ministrative expense involved in ad-
ding the 80 inspectors will account
for that.
AS this planning was being COM
pleted and the law enforcement
commission went on in private with
its prohibition report task. the Wo-
mems National Committee for Law
Enforcement came out with a state
ment saying:
While we await the report oi
the Wickersham committee as in
teresting and important. we must
not expect il TO do more than sup
ply valuable information"
The committee. Of which Mrs
Henry w. Peabody of Massachusett;
is chairman added 1t did not expect
the enforcement group 10 advocate
repeal Of either the eighteenth OF
the Volstead act. A plan for modifi-
cation Of the latter was espousec
yesterday by Senator Glenn. re-
publican. Illinois. He suggested the
Law be changed to permit states &
desiring to raise the alcoholic con-
tent Of legal beer.
