Would Develop the
Pacific Coast Naval
Shore Establishment

Washington, u. c.. Dec. 9.-Devel-
opment of Pacific Coast naval shore
establishment during the next five
years at a cost of s15S.000.000 is rec
commended in the report of the
special board headed by Rear Ad-
miral j. S. Mexican sent last year to
check up on its previous program,
Deep water fleet bases at Bremerton,
Wash, at a cost of S44,000,000. and at
San Francisco, at a cost of S51 100000,
are the chief items proposed. the San
Francisco project as previously out
lined by the Helm board having been
increased by proposed destroyer and
submarine basins.
The report urged establishment
within three years of the base at San
Francisco. saying that with the
Bremerton base it would provide two
deep water stations for the capital
ships, the minimum required for
efficient operation of the Pacific fleet
In addition, expansion of facilities al
San Diego to provide a complete op-
Grating base for southern California
was recommended to include fleet
supply facilities and a repair base for
the smaller ships. Advantages of this
point as a base for maneuvers ana
target practice were emphasized.

Says England Suffers
From Low Wages

London, Dec. 9-England still is
suffering from low wages, declared
Lord Leverhulme, one of England's
best-known manufacturers. on the
eve of his departure for the United
States. Lord Leverhulme has set an
example to British industry by appli-
cation to his own business of ad-
vanced ideas in the relation of capital
and labor.
Our wage earners have inherited
ideas which low wages inflicted upon
them and our manufacturers have not
been driven by big wages to develop
lavor-saving machinery, he said.
The era of low wages has passed.
If our manufacturers improve their
machinery and our wage earners
throw aside suspicion as policy
ruinous to their own interests, We
shall have tremendous home mar
ket in England and a bigger surplus
than any other nation to send abroad
to pay for our raw materials"
Not only did Lord LeVerhulme see
no prospect that wages would rail-
in England, but he declared that ne
did not wish to see them drop, but
would like to see them go bigger,
provided always that production Kept
pace with the advance in wages.
