Propaganda was to Line Up American Opinion Against All Submarines. | By David Lawrence. (Special Correspondent of The Eve- | ning World.) | WASHINGTON, Dec. 20 (Copyright, 1921).—Great Britain is making a des-! perate effort to take the Conference out of the meshes of private conver- sation and secret debates and force the discussion into the open in the hope of lning up the moral forces of the world behind her demand that the submarine be abolished, The tactics of the British in pres- sing for a plenary session at which the whole question of ‘submarine uses might be discussed by Arthur Balfour and Lord Lee with the entire Press present Is a sequel to another and much more significant Incident in connection with the French pro- posal to bulld ten battleships. * The French have complained to members of the American and ‘other delegations of the preas campaign conducted by the British against them In the last few days. They in- ist that the British broke faith in! permitting the public to know what the French battleship proposals were and that it had been agreed that this would be kept secret as between Mr. Hughes, Mr, Balfour and the other members of the Naval Committee of | the powers in conference here. The question of whether the Brit- ish did or did not break faith hinges largely upon whether Lord Riddell \s an official representative of Great Britain at this conference or simply a private citizen engaged in news- paper work. Every day for many weeks Lord Riddell has received the newspaper correspondents not c.ily of England but the United States and other countries and has discussed with the utmost freedom the matters up before the conference. He nas outlined the British viewpoint, the French, the American, Chinese and Japanese contentions with all the air of authority that an official spokes- man needs to have to impress bis audience. The Information given out by Lord Riddell has been for the most part authentic. So far as British news is concerned, it has coinciled ition clauses. eallaigh declared that even if ‘the Dail accepted the agreement the le would continue and that Qwithin twelve months the Irish poo- would cancel it. He saw no dif- in princi; between the! ty and the measures the follow- fers of John Redmond and the Home Rule Party had contended for. ©The Dail adjourned atic.

Dec. 20 (Associated France has accepted Secro- tary Hughes's naval ratio for capital ships, and we are glad of the relief tt will afford us,” Premier Briand of France {a reported as declaring in an Interview with the Daily Mail. “Re- garding secondary units, we are yet uninformed respecting tho six 10,000- ton ships which Germany {s allowed to build under the Versailles Treaty. We shall ask the Washington confer- ence to take this consideration into account.” M. Briand repudiated the idea that France wished to maintain the bur- den of great land armaments, espe- cially as she had just emerged from a terrible war. But, he contended, the Wirth Government in Germany was weak, and “its very fragility compels France to remain armed, for there Is no saying what Government may take ita place to-morrow.” He declared he had never taken very serlously the differences be- ‘ween France and England in regard to reparations, and was sure that a solution would be found. Of the European situation in general, he said: “Russia is a question which Great Britain and‘France should ex- amine together, but I fear the disor- gBanzution of that vast country is groater than is known.

Mr. Turner proposes under his plan to operate cars under } a twenty-secend “seadway in the rush {hours, whick would permit the pas- sage of 180 cars per hour over a sin- gle track. The capacity of these cars could be doubled by: the operation of tratiers, By giving the police power to en- force a rule giving the car tracks ex- clusively to street cars in the rush hours, the average surface car speed could bo made ten miles an hour, according to Mr. Turney, Plenty of cars run at this speed would, he fig- ures, attract an immense traffic and relleve the pressure on the Rapid ‘Transit, lines, on which patronage is increasing at the rate of about 4,000 passengers a day. Mr. Turner's plan includes all inter- borough lines which would carry pas- sengers not only across the Brooklyn, Manhattan, Williamsburg = — and.

At) | °4t! the French attack on him and the British for “leaking” about the French proposals, has declared that he never was in any sense an official but that he came here solely as the representa- tive of the British Newspaper Pro- prietors Association and that his pri- mary purpose was to assist British journalists in getting news from the British delegation, While performing this task he was quite willing, indeed anxious, to have American correspondents attend and take whateyer news he was giving out. He didn't say ho was an official spokesman, Nevertheless it is a fact that Lord Riddell did the same kind of thing at the Versailles Confer- ence and has presented the British viewpoint after the meetings of the Supreme Council in Paris. He is an intimate friend of Prime Mihister Lioyd George and {s said to have been making private reperts by cable to the Prime Minister, sepaarte and dis- tinct from the reports sent by Mr. Balfour and the officials of the British delegation, He is a sort of Col.

Preceding the receipt of Mr. Tur- ner’s plan, Clarence J, Shearn, spe- cial counsel to the commission, read into the record a letter received from Comptroller Craig !n which he refused to appear before the commission and give his yews on the proposed plans for transit improvement. “Despite the attitude of the prin- clpal city officlals,* said Mr. Shearn, “who are making the whole transit problem a political issue in the face of the growing discomfort of pas- sengers, high finance wreckage, rot- ten service, broken down equipment and dirty cars, the Trausit Commis- sion will proceed to put into effect the relief plans needed by the city.” Chairman McAneny added that In- asmuch as information on city fin- ances concerning the traction situa- tion, ‘such as is wanted from the Comptroller, Is a public record, the Comptroller will be sent for when he is wanted, This means that when the commission get ready to hear Mr. Craig he will be subpoenaed, The Comptroller in his letter com- plained about not receiving any ac- knowledgment of a letter he wrote to the commission on Oct. 20.
