Demand by France for a minimum submarine allowance of 90,000 tons was declared to have closed the door to any agreement, the American proposal having been fin­ ally rejected by the French. The American delegation made a new proposal to limit the site of subma­ rines and other auxiliary craft to a maximum of 10,000 tons. The British and Japanese, in view of the French action, stated they both felt compelled to reserve ac­ tion on the tonnage ratio for aux­ iliary craft allotted them under the American plan.

Doyle. rice crop has been harvested under exceptionally favorable climatic con­ ditions and the quality is reported good. .A favorable factor In its mar- kept prospect is the appreciable rice shortage reported in Japan where the embargo against rice imports has been lifted and where prices are re­ ported to be rising. Latest esti­ mates of the apple crop of the dis­ trict place it at 45,000,000 bushels, approximately 50 per cent in excess of last year's short crop. With t^e shortage of fresh fruits in the east and middle west, as a result of frosts last spring, the demand for apples so far this season has on the whole been good and growers are expected to experience a profitable year. The livestock of this district is in excel­ lent condition. Hay is abundant and cheap and winter range prospects are good. There is reported from all districts a stronger demand for feeder cattle and except In the in­ ter-mountain district, there are indi­ cations that herds and flocks are be­ ing restocked. Flour mills of tho district are operating at approximate­ ly 58.9 per cent of capacity as com­ pared with 34.7 per cent of capacity a year ago. Many mills in Califor­ nia are doing even better than this on account of a brisk export demand from Mexico and Latin America. "Unemployment throughout the district, principally among unskilled workers, increased during Novem­ ber. The greatest declines In em- ployment were reported from the seasonal Industries, agriculture and road-building, and from the shlp- yards, which are now operating at approximately 5 per cent of their war capacity. There continues to be a strong demand for skilled labor in the building industry.**
