LACK OF WATER AT HAMPTON ROADS IS
 CAUSE OF REMOVAL
House Naval Committee to Go to l Norfolk to Begin an Investigation
 of the Present Situation
By Associated Press

washington. January 29.--Lack of adeauate water. supply for the Hamp- ton Roads naval base and training sta . ton, which commanding officers said had caused removal of 5000 or 4,eoo seamen to other stations, todaytprompt- ed the House naval committee 10 de- eide ito go to Norfolk to begin an Tn : vestigation here on February IS, next ,rhe committeeman expect to leave here on the Presidents yacht Mayiio"ef the night of February IT.
 Committeeman said their inquiry would not be confined to the question or the water supply. but that 1t would ex- tend to the reasons and wisdom or the expenditure of approximately sI,ooo,r G0o after the signing of the armistice in the development of East Camp on land. so which the government has no ltle or agreement for purchase The in uuiry. it was said. would last severa,i days.
 Pear Admiral A F. Fech.eler. com mandant of the Fifth naval district. and Rear Admiral Frederick Harris, public works officer at the Hampton Roads base, told the committee that ap- proximately ss2,0o0.000 was spent in deveiopment of the base and station during the war and that 1t was expected that the water supply would be pro- vided. with government aid' through the cities of Norfolk and Portsmouth. Norfolk however has decided upon the development of an independent supply and as result the system to supply the base and station had not been sufficient for the needs. the off eers said The government. it was tes- tiled, advanced $2,400,0o0 to the two practically all of 1t to Ports mouth,--for building the new water supply.
 Chairman Butler, apparently angered by the failure to obtain the water sup ply in co-operation with the cities. warned the officers that unless plans were soon perfected for supply of the sta lions he would urge the com mittee to refuse any appropriations for inc base and station.
 Don't they want the government down there? asked the chairman
 since the government began opera tions down there il has spent tzo0,- oos.ooo within tWeniyfiye miles of Nor folk. and now we have got no water. The country won't stand for that"

BOARD ID OBTAIN F AIR PRICE
Delay Action on Bids for
 Thirty Former German Passenger Ships
py AuocIatsd prss.

Washington. January g. Delay on the part of the shipping board in taking ac- ton on the bids submitted for the pur- chase of the thirty former German pas senger ships was said by Chairman Payne tonight to be due primarily to the board intention to make certain that fair market price will be obtained for each vessel before bids are accepted.
 The ships which the board has offered for sale were used by the army as trans ports and to recondition them for pas senger service will involve a considera oe sum. the chairman said. 1t is proposed to sell the ships "as is .or as theX stand, and in order to determine if fair price is being offered for given ves- sel it has been decided to add the esti- mated cost of reconditonlng to the bid submitted which will enable the boa to decide if full value is to be rec sd for che ship in the light of preseD|

TREASURY D|SL|KES' CERTAIN FEATURES WORLD CONFERENCE.
Will Cause Confusion and Revive Hopes Doomed to \ Disappointment, Says
 Secretary Glass
By Associated rrtss

Washington, January 29.-The U Xf States treasury does not look witP
 upon certain features of the propos 2 .ternationai conference. recently. called by a coterie of nationally known financiers and commercial leaders in an effort to
 lead the world out of the financial and commercial chaos into which 1t was dragged by the war
 Secretary Glass declared tonight in a letter to q committee of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, which had sought a government expression on the meeting, that such q conference would serve Ito cause confusion and revive hopes, doomed to disappointment, of fur ther government loans.'
 With a note of some finality Mir. Glass set forth the governments policy with respect to furnishing credits, stating that the treasury is opposed to government control over foreign trade and finance and even more opposed to private con% trol. It is convinced that the. credits re- quired for the economic restoration must come through private channels" In this respect, this government fears the pro- posed conference would mean many Euro peans would assume that the United States was about to shoulder more of their burdens, Mir Glass explained.
 MUST MAKE STAND CLEAR
 If the Chamber of Commerce of the United States fto which were left. details of the conference cal) considers it ad- visible and desirable to designate repre- sentatives to attend an unofficial con ference" MT. Glass said. "The treasury department does not offer objection pro- vided the scope and character and iin1ita- ftr,,x <.f S<t. far 4faa nc the impossibility of United States gov ernment action, are clearly understood But there are numerous suggestions con- tained in the memorial sent broadcast by the leaders, which are clearly not appro- priate for consideration, such as cancella- ton of some or any obligations of for eign governments held by the United States, or even the deferring of obliga- tions of foeign governments to liens cre- ated in favor of loans hereafter made for reconstruction purposes
 MT. Glass directs attention to differ ences which he discovered in the formal call for the conferences as issued here and in several foreign countries. The iaenorsals circulated ssa Europe. NY. Glass said apparently adv ated further gov ernmentaf financial assistance and re- quested the respective governments to designate representatives to those inter national meetings which thus would ac- cord it an official character. This, how ever, was omitted from the document circulated in the United States and made public in New York January H.
 The situation facing ESsope the treas ury said, was one to be solved by the activity of those nations and their na- tionaIs and not for settlement by any world wide plan such as the proposeu conferences contemplate.
