PLAN OF HOOVER

New York, Dec. 21.-Approval Of
the plan urged by Herbert Hoover to
supply food to central Europe on
credit by using the capital of the
United States grain corporation, was
announced tonight by julius II.
Barnes, president of the corporation
and United States wheat director. The
profits of the corporation are quite
material, Mr.. Barnes explained, and
might "well be invested in such
humanitarian relief
He added that instead of losing
81, 900, 000,0 in discharging the
pledge of guaranteed price to the
wheat producers as had been expect
ed, sit is very improbable that the ma
tional treasury will have any loss
whatever from that source" He sug-
gested that congress authorize the
loan of ssl00,000,000 or $500. 900, 900
of this amount in support OF the

Washington, Dec. 21.--Passage by
congress of q Joint resolution provid-
ing for pay increases to navy person
mel. as recommended by him in NO
vember was urged bv Secretary Dan
iels in a letter today to Speaker Gli-
lette, of the house. in which the sec
retary declared that due to the loss of
it's skilled men and the navy now was
unable to operate the number of ships
that should be kept in commission.
Emphasizing the necessity of inme-
diate action by congress Secretary
Daniels asserted that while tosal en-
listments now were about 192. 900, the
great majority OF these we're boys un-
der 19 years of age entering rs ap.
on the diminishing number of warrant
and petty officers in the service, the
navy has in fact an effecitg.s enlisted
personnel of only $4,000.
Due to the rapid loss of men in the
skilled grades because Of the higher
wages obtainable in civil life. Mr. DAN
iels said, it will be necessary. unless
BILE the navy TO secure an adequate
number of these men, to send the eight
dreadnaughts of the Atlantic fleet TO
Guantanamo, Cuba. .or winter maneu-
vers with reduced crews and also to
reduce the number of destroyers and
auxiliary craft which II was planned
to send with the battleships.
The secretary explained in connec-
tion with his message to Speaker Gill
lette that his recent assurances that
the navy was ready for any emergen-
cy and that the winter, maneuvers
would be fully participated in by. ships
of the Atlantic fleet were predicated
on the belief that the congress- by the
present time would have granted the
increase in pay recommended.
Pay increases advocated by Secre-
tary Daniels before the house naval
affairs committee in November. called
for flat increase to officers ranging
from $1,000 for admirals, vice admir-
ais and rear admirals. to $3.50 for en-
signs and warrant Officers, so per
cent increase for all petty officers and
80 per cent advance for apprentice
