Assistant Secretary Malburn asserted

greater than had been sustained under

Senator Walsh said that the passage

portance. Under existing laws. he said,
it is impossible to open up the oil and
gas lands without violation of the

Not Afraid of Competition.

I'VE are told that the competition of
the European manufacturers and ex-
porters will be fiercer after the war

WALSH DESIRES ACTION
ON CONSERVATION BILLS
Senator Thinks Congress Would
Make Mistake Not to Pass
Measures.

Senator Walsh of Montana, chairman
of the Senate committee on mines and
mining, is of the opinion that Congress
would make a great mistake not to
take action upon the so-called con-
servation bills of the administration
at the coming session.
81 cannot believe the report recently
published that the conservation meas
ures, including the water power bill
and the coal, oil and phosphate leas
ing bill, will be shclved for the next
year. he said today. Senator Walsh
explained the great need for the en-
actment of these bills into law. so that
the resources of the great public lands
of the western states might be utilized.
Cites Practice of President.
Even should President Wilson not
mention the conservation bills in his
message to Congress when it con-
venes next month-and 1 do not know
that the President will not mention
them--I would not consider for mo-
ment that the administration had given
up all idea of having these bills pass
ed at the coming session. he said.
The President has made ii 4 practice
to confine his messages to Congress to
sideration, but that did not mean that
all other important legislation was to
be shelved. Undoubtedly the President
will address Congress on the subject
of preparedness and the revenues which
must be raised for increased army and
navy appropriations.
The army and navy appropriation
bills will not be laid before the House
and Senate without very careful con-
sideration and probably long public
hearings. 1t may be a month or more
before either one of them comes be-
fore the House, and still longer before
they reach the Senate. l believe that
Congress wzll have time to take up the
conservation bills in the interim. The
water prrHer was reported to the SEN
ate last session. The bill already had
passed the House. | see no reason why
a bill similar to that reported at the
last session should not be introduced
in the Senate when Congress meets
and taken up soon thereafter and
passed"
Should Be Part of Program.

When the Senate democrats assem-
BILE in caucus here Monday. November
20. they will have large number of
highly important matters to consider.
The very fact that the caucus was
called a whole week before Congress
assemblies is taken to indicate the fact
that the leaders are planning to get

cratic majority goes into action on the

the first matters taken up by the eau

edness. 1t would be a great mistak

Measures to increase the revenues of

ognized that all revenue measures must
originate in the House. But the gen
eral question of taxation, and perhaps
the tariff, will be given consideration
when the democratic senators meet

Proposed Cloture Method,

1t is said that the proposed cloture
rule VIII not provide for moving the
previous question: the method adopted
IN the House for shutting off debate,
out Will provide way for the Senate
10 determine that a measure shall be
voted upon only after the fullest kind
of debate.
Intimately connected with the uues-
ton of cloture for the Senate is the
government ship purchase bill. Seven
uenocratlc senators refused to have
anything to do with such a measure
at the last session, and their refusal
had much to do with the success of
me @ republican filibuster against the
bill. Senators are wondering TODAY
whether these recalcitrants will sup
port cloture for the Senate if they
know that another effort is to be made
to force the ship purchase bill through.
Democratic senators said today that
they expected the caucus to give con-
Slderatlon to possible program of
legislation.

FOR GREATER GUNS
IN COAST DEFENSE
War Department Program to In
crease Artillery to Maximum
Efficiency.
EXPENDITURE SlOO,oOO,O 900.
Development of Semimobile 16-lnch
Howitzer Feature of Scheme.

A new program for the improvement
OF the coast defenses and the mobile
artillery Of the United States TO their
maximum artillery efficiency at a cost
of 500, ZOO has been completed by
the War Department
The plan was developed after a
thorough survey OF the present de-
fenses. The program has been laid
before the Appropriations Committee
of the House for use in the prepara-
ton of the fortifcation appropriation
bill The program calls for its chief
feature the following.
The exclusive use of 16-inch guns
in all new coast defenses; -opment
of a semimobile 16-inch howitzer TO be
transported by railroad or by motor
tractors and to be the greatest arm of
modern times. and the accumulation
Of reserve ammunition that viii allow
each gun in the coast defenses as many
rounds as may be fired during the life
of the gum
The mounting of twenty-four l2-inch
guns now held as a reserve, on new
carriages that viii give them an in
creased range that will allow them to
stand of any modern battleship has
been decided on. These guns are to be
mounted at once to guard first-class
cities while the 16-inch gun plan is
being carried out.
The plan contemplates an expendi-
ture of more than s96,000,000 over a
period of four or five years. OF this
amount, about S71,O00,0O0 would be
spent on defenses of the United States
proper: $11 600, 600 on defenses in the
insular possessions, and nearly S14.-
100000 ON defenses for Panama Canal
A material factor in the increased
money demanded is the new plan to
build up an ammunition reserve. Here
tofore the coast defenses have been
provided ammunition on the theoret-
ical basis of two hours continuous fir
ing, and about S46,000,O0O of the total
expenditures on the program will &C
TO furnish the guns all the ammuni-
tion they can shoot. This increase is
explained by the increased volume OF
fire at the command of the more mod
ern warships.
"If this plan is carried out reason
ably and sanely," said Representative
Sherley. chairman of the committee
which handles the fortification bill
"the coast defenses of the United
States will be adequate to perform the
military functions for which they
were created"
The War Department is now at work
developing three new artillery arms
which are embraced in the new plan
They are the semimobile 16-inch how
itzers, and approximately 11-inch how
itzers for use of the mobile artillery
and the antiair gun craft.
