\\ gene V'. Debs, in the first .state-
ment issued since his r, lease
from Atlanta penitentiary at noon
>esterday, announced today that he
would dedicate his newly acquired
freedom to "the freedom of political
prisoners and the cause of all prison-

The statement was made after Delis

ing and Attorney General Duugherty.
His future activltes, Debs said, would

ful purpose." He added that he had
volunteered no advice to the Socialist
lunder and that he was asked for
none.

Ktaleiii'iit asserted. "I say this be-
cause I observe gathering about him
an undertaking to promote him by
persons who have not the besi inter-

Ills life's efforts, pursuing as lie has

Washington, Dec. 26. -The political
leaders in the Dominican republic
have rejected the conditions for with-
idrawal of the American military gov-
ernment proposed last June and the
population has "declined to take any
steps" to hold the necessary elections
to c-ary them out, the special senate
investigating committee which ha?
just returned from there and Haiti re-
ported.
"The population, under hte advice
of ilie leaders," Senator Medill Mc-
Cormlek, chairman of the committee
said In a statement, "has declined to
take any steps to hold elections to
constitute a Dominican government
which might negotiate the terms and
arrange the conditions of the with-
drawal of American forces and ter-
minate the military government.
"At the present time It Is impos-
sible to advise a substantial modifi-
cation of the terms of the proclama-
tion."
Such a modification, however, may
well be Justified, Senator McCormlck
said, with the greater stability
against revolution which would result
from and Dominican government
through completion of important
highway construction nw being held
back through lack of funds.
These roads, the most Important of
which is the north and south high-
way, besides their benefit to com-
merce, he said, would act as "so ef-
fective and obvious a deterrent to
revolution as to enable a Dominican
government to give such guarantee?
of stability and order as may well jus-
tify the United States agreeing to ti
material modification" of the term*

Washington, Dec. 26. - The ,,rnm
conferenc naval committee, which '
faces a perplexing situation in its ef-
fort to agree on limitation of sub:na.
rlnes, tonight postpoped Its ne\t
meeting unti] Wednesday so that the
French and possibly the Japanese
might re elve from home official*
more definite Instructions regarding
the compromise proposal of the Amer-
ican government .
All indications here pointed r.> con-
tinued objection to the American plan
li> both the Japanese and Fr nch
groups. At the same time Americans
and British t.ppeared to feel that in
offering to scale down their subma-
rine fleets to 60,000 tons each they
had made a maximum cor.c ssion in
the Interest of an agreement.
Another Conference Proposed.
In these i Ircumstances more defi-
nite shape was assured by th • move-
ment for a later conference to be at-
tended by a large number of nations
for another examination of the whole
submarine problem and for a futur *
meeting of the great powers to ascer-
tain the general possibilities of fur-
ther armament limitations. There
were indications that the plan for a
world submarine conference would he
put Into concrete form very quickly.
The proposed new conference of the
powers on the general subject of arm-
aments probably would be held in
1'J2k or 192and provision for It
would tie mud • In the treaty that is to
embody the decisions of the pn sent
ni eft ing.
--Postponement of the naval commit-
tee meeting from tomorrow to Wed-
nesday Is understood to have resulted
from a reques tfrom the French dele-
gates who have not yet heard the for-
mal verdict of their home government
on the Am rican plan to fix American
and British submarine strength at Cn,-
000 tons and make a s atus quo ar-
rangement for France, Italy and Jap-
an. The impression among the mem-
bers of the French delegation tonight
was that the plan would be wholly
unsatisfactory to Paris. A submarine
tonnage of SO,000 has been suggested
for France by her naval experts and
under the American proposal she
would have about 31,000.
Policy of Japanese.
'I lie Japan se maintain silence as to
their future course in the negotiations,
but there was no evidence that they
intended to recede from their flat re-
fusal to acc pt the American compro-
mise. The Japanese delegates have
told the conference they consider that
the 40.000 tons of submarines is nec-
essary to their national s curity in
place of the 31,000 allotted them In
the compromise arrangement. In
some quarters, however, It Is hoped
that further advises from Toklo may
soften somewhat th Ir position.
Should the American plan fail to
bring the powers together It Is sug-
gested by some of thos1 connected
with the conference that consideration
may lie given to a proposal for a gen-
eral building holiday in submarines
under an agreement that all five of
the powers would leave their sub-
mersible strength distributed as at
present in the various sea areaa. Fa-
der this suggestion, which has so far
received no formal endorsement from
any of the delegates, the United
States, Great Britain, Japan, Italy and
France all would undertake to main-
tain exactly the tonnage of subma-
rines they now have stationed l.i the
respective regions of the .('antic, the
Pacific, the Mediterranean and th«
Adriatic.
The proposal to write Into the naval
limitation treaty and agreement for
reassembling the conference of the
powers probably seven years hence
has begun to take more definite form
over the Christmas .recess. An infor-
mal exchange of views among the
American, British* arid French dele-
gates has develop d a feeling that by
that time it may be possible to work
out an extension of the naval holiday
in the light of a seven year teat of the
agreement which mad ■ It possible. Ia
any event it has been said there will
be details to work out of the program
that Is to replace the ten-year fleet
status with actual application of the
"flve-flve-three" capital ship ratio.
