President Hoover's final consul- tations with the United States de- legates, who leave next Thursday for London, are taking into ac- count the obstacles whieh have ar- isen, since the pre-conference dis- cussions, but in no case are these obstacles recognized as insur. mountable, In its present quite different form, the plan to be followed by the delegation Tooks hopefully to- ward French signature of the pro- posed treaty; despite indications from Paris that she is hesitant to take 80 positive a commitment. Disclosures over the week-end that the French statesmen are willing at least to limit construction in the near future is taken here as a mos. promising sign after the recent strong pronouncement of ¥rench national policy. The United States plan also fore- sees a way of adjusting the cruiser demands of Japan on a basis satis- factory to all concerned, and it al. most takes for granted that the troublesome details of parity be- tween the United States and Great Britain can be reduced to terms re- garded 2s mutually acceptable, Formally opening #he negotia- tions for the United States at the first session on Jan. 21, the leader of the delegation, the secretary of state will counsel a patient exam- ination of the whole field of possi bilities before an effort is made to draft definite agreements.

Estimates differ on its quantity. No reliable statistics are yet available, but the most au- thentic information at hand Is that the crop will likely be short. Advices sent to the officials of the Canadian wheat pool are that it probably will be under the aver- age and a little more than one-half of the bumper erop. which flooded the British market last year to the detriment of the Canadian pro- duet. Should this estimate prove correct a rise in prices may be ex- pected. At the same time the wheat market {is described as "queer," without any pronounced tenden- cies, The movement of Canadian wheat continues slow. Germany is reported to be nearing the end of her home grown supplies and is likely to be in the maricet soon for Canadian wheat, But the promis- ing market in France has been checked for the time being by the republic government's decree, re- quiring French flour for home use to be of 97 per cent. home grown wheat. Russia has also entered the British market with an offer- ing of high grade wheat. How- ever, the Russfan offering is so small it is not regarded likely that it will. seriously affect prices, To Investigate Liquor on Boats 'Stolen Liquor Found on U.S. Destroyers and Patrol Boats New London, Conf.

Recently Liberal headquarters issued a statement to the effect that there wa sa general feeling among Liberals when parliament adjourned that their attitude in committee should not merely com- prise a negative criticism of the bill, but that a red] attempt should be made to help the Labor govern- ment by submitting amendments for the purpose of making the bill workable and meeting Liberal cri- ticism. It is now taken for grant- ed the Liberal amendments will be such as may be found generally ac- ceptable to the Labor party ana will not find much sympathy in Conservative quarters.
