Quigley 18 secking the republican nomina- | tion for mayor, stated at a rally| last night in Ukrainian hall that he would introduce new systems of cconomy and the tax rate for 1931 | would be lower. He addressed 200 | listeners who had gathered at his first public rally. | “‘Don’ Bartlett is a fine fellow and there is no man I would rather see as mayor if 1 lose at the primary,” he said. He described an agreement which was made between the two rivals to support cach other after the primary. “He has been a resident of this for 13 years and has heen connected with the city govern- ment for six years, but he has never | been called upon in a crisis,” he claimed. “New Britain means morc to me than just a city.

Park Commisioner Arthur E. Berg mpoke of the conditions here and the importance of having the best man at the head of the government. When the question of new school and the water and sewer problems are brought to the common council “there is only one man whom you can turn the maftter to—George A.

Things Over With Tardieu London, March 20 (P—With Franco-Italian parity deadlock still holding at the naval conference, Foreign Minister Briand of France went back to Paris today to sec Premier Tardieu, while Prime Minis- ter MacDonald arranged a mecting Foreign Minister Grandi of the Italy. The British prime minister, who is now beset by numerous vital prob- lems in connection with the confer- ence, was relieved to a great extent from domestic political worrics by announcement of the liberals that | they would not press amendments to | the coal bill while the present con-| ference crisis was on. David Lloyd George, the liberal leader, in announcing the position of his party said he understood that the fate of the conference was hanging | in the balance and th: H was “a question of life or death.” Pending word from Tokyo as to| the tentative agreement which the American-Japanese delegations have worked out in London, the work of the American delegates was almost completely suspended this morning. Conference Held Tondon, March () — Naval conference circles today wondered just what significance to attach to an obviously impromptu meeting of Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald and the French foreign minister, Aristide Briand, at the Hotel Carl- ton last evening. At the conclusion Briand said: “We have been talking about means to bring the conference to a successful conclusion and we are going to apply those means as quickly as possible.” There were those, who heard M. word, who imputed to them spective solution of the Franco-Ttalian naval ratio problem, one of threc or so major problems which may bring disruption of the conference activities, Others re- calling that the French idea of what would constitute conference of the confer- | success has always been at variance with that of the United States and Great Britain were dubious. The meeting between the two statesmen apparently had little pre- Mr. MacDonald, a companied by his daughter, Miss Ishbel, appeared suddenly at the Hotel Carlton, where M.

Briand of his vather sudden decision to leave for After the meetings he qual- ified the trip with the explanation, not given before, that he wished to talk with Premier Tardieu and con- fer with the senate foreign _affairs committee, returning to London with Premicr Tardieu Sunday or the next day. Reports were current in some quarters that events of the day had scemed to Briand to be taking a course unfavorable for the I'rench viewpoint, and that back of his sud- den decision to visit Paris was a conviction of the futility of remain- ing here longer. Mr. MacDonald, sought him out, and by some process sccured at least a profession of modification in his at- titude. Says Way Out TPossible After the meeting he told the newspaper men: “Always when things seom at their worst, one finds a way out. That is truc now.” He refused further to discuss the their conversation, re- marking: “I am in the habit of | chattering too much and then I am On First Leg of Journey | Southampton, (UP)—The giant Lloyd liner Europa, Eng., March 20 North German on her maiden trip to America in which she hopes to beat the world’s record laid do by her sister ship, tae Bremen, rived at this d port at 7:30 a. m. to day. ar- | The Europa will go to Cherbouys | before leaving on 1 sage.
