NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENTEVENTS Conference Agreeing on Naval Limitations but Apart on China Questions. % \BIKE BRMND'S ELOQUENT SPEECH France’s Need of Strong Army, Due tn Fear of German Aggreaeion, Convincingly Set Forth—Tax Bill Becomes Law and Congress Adjourns. By EDWARD W. PICKARD C ONCORD and dlword both were apparent In the armament confer ence lust week. It appeared the Hughes plan for naval holiday and limitation would soon be accepted formally allhost exactly as he pro- posed It. Greut Britain Indorsed the ’•.V.VS” rath* without reservation and made It known that she desired only to suggest some modification of the submarine and replacement features of the plan aa a whole. The Jap anese. though still arguing that they should have 70 per cent of the naval strength of Great Britain and the United States, evidently were pre pared to yield with the expectation of some concessions In their favor relative to dilna. Hut the British, at home, already are growing impatient. As soon as the Hughes plan was given out the admiralty stopped work on battleships under construction. Thurs day It announced that unless \ de cision relative to naval limitation were reached by the conference with in two weeks, work on the battleships would l»e resumed before Christinas. The admiralty may have been Influ enced In this by the fact that our congress adjourned without ordering cessation of work on our new ships. As for the dlacord, which unfortu- nafely exists. It arises over two sub-, li*rts—land armament limitation and CMn^. Concerning the reduction of armies the III feeling Is between It wrts--nn ample reply to the anti- French propaganda of Wells et a!„ and that It did not fall of effect on l\ls fellow conferees. Arthur Balfour was the first to respond, and Secre tary Hughes followed him. Both as sured Brland that their countries ap preciated the position of France and virtually pledged the support for which he had pleaded, though of course both were careful not to prom ise an equivalent In International law for the Anglo-Franco-American de fensive treaty which Lloyd George, Clemeneeau and Wilson signed, but which never was even submitted to the American senate. Mr. Hughes ar ranged that the question of land arma ment should he further considered by a committee, but the Impression was general that It would be permitted to "Q tor m limitation la concemefT; and this Impression was strengthened by the departure of M. Brland and the French military sec tion for home, the premier being se cure In the belief that his country would not now he asked to reduce Its army further than Its present plans contemplate.

Many Llva Stock Farmers W'io WJIi—Boon Have to Ftnco Their Cattle. Beaufor^—Cattle ralisrs of the coastal section of South Carolina are organizing to frnprove marketing con ditions and to cooperate in furnishing finanelal aid to those w^o may other- wse be compelled to sacrifice their holdings. A critical condtloh is fac ing many live stock owners who will be compelled to put their cattle under fence or sell them before January 1 when the general stock law goes Into effect. It is planned to assist those who want to develop their herds, and to get a better price for those who want to sell, and in this way to put the industry on a strong basis through, the kind of cooperation that the cot ton, tobacco, truck and sweet potato growers are using. Application has been made for a Charter by the South Carolina Coop erative Live Stock association. The charter will be granted by the secre tary of state under the cooperative marketing act d( 1921. The capital stock is S50 000. of 500 shares of $100 each. Membership is confined to live stock owners and all net profits over 8 per cent on the common s’oek will be rebated to members in proportion to the amount shipped hy each. Cooperative marketing agreements are being prepared and as soon as they are ready membership will be actively solicited.

A COLO TODAY- DELAY REMIKR BRIAND, In a wnnder- I fill address, told the conference and tltf' world Just why France dare not now reduce her land force too far. Without hesitation he set forth frank ly his country's fears of Germany, first, and of Russia, more remotely. With facts and figures he made plain the possibility tTuit .Germany, might again and almost within a day -be come a powerful and dangerous mllf- tnry nation, and that a considerable portion of the German people look for ward to this he showed hy quotations from I.udendorff, who still has a large following. Brland did not fall to give generous praise to Wlrth’s government and admitted there were many pebple In Germany, especially among the working classes, who want to work and want no more war. The Ger many they represent, he said, France would do all In her power to help. But. he said, until there was a “moral disarming" as Well as a phys^ leal in Germany, and unless France was assured of the continued support of the United States and Great Brit ain. France could not lay herself open to attack hy Germany, "We hav> to --Tmow-;-’ he »ald. 1 "fflffTFlTiffri* trifot morally Isolated, that she still has h tier ’the men df good will and hearts of all people ’who have fought with her on the same bnttle- fleW." - As for the charge that Brland and the French who follow him have a- hidden . design to Install In Europe n sort of middle supremacy, this, the prwukr said, "i- tie nn-st patnfQL heart-rending and cruel™ thing a Frenchman can hear." Impossible, -much nw one trmrht like tg do *o. to quote more of M.

One concession had been won hy the Oriental republic—permission to in crease Its tariff rate from 5 per cent to 12»4 per cent. So far as is now apparent, the Idea of restoring 'to China the ’various parts of her ter ritory now held by other powers has gone Into the discard.
