British Naval Plan Awaits
NewestW ar Developments
Building Program Will Not Be
Adopted Until Question of
Strength Is Investigated

LONDON, Dec. 8 (By The Associated
Press ).-No program of capital ship
construction for the navy will be pre-
sented to Parliament until the whole
question of naval strength as affected
by the latest developments in naval
warfare has been cxhaustivcly investi-
gated by the Committee on Imperial
Defence and the results of such inves-
tigation have been considered. This
announcement was made in the House
of Commons tonight by j. Austen
Chamberlain, Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer.
"The government has decided and
the Admiralty has welcomed the de-
cision, that the Committee on Imperial
Defence shall cxhaus.ively investigate
the whole question of naval strength
as a fected by the latest Developments
in naval warfare" said Mr.. Chamber
lain. "and will present no program Of
capital ship construction to Parlia-
ment until the results Of that inquiry
have been considered"
Mr.. Chamberlain's announcement was
the chief outcome of the set debate
IN the Commons tonight, arising from
big attack on the government ex-
penditure as wasteful and from agi-
tation raised by the cXponents Of q
strong naval policy in favor of a navy
equal to the combined naviss Of the
United States and Japan.

New-York tribune., 1920-12-10

Senator Smoot and the embargo on
grain proposed by Senator McOumber
were talked over, and it was decided
to ascertain the views of Chairman
tordney of the Ways and Means Com
mittee on initiating such bills in the
Senate. which the House is likely to
take the position that as they affect
the revenues they must start in he
House.
Inclusion IN the tariff revision of a
plan for equalizing changes in tariff
duties resulting from fluctuations in
exchange was urged upon the House
q delegation of New England manu-
facturers.
Among those who were heard to-day
were Jacob +. Brown, president of the
Slater Mills. Webster, Mass; f. W.
Hobbs, president of the Arlington Mills,
Lawrence, Mass, and P. T. Cherring-
ton, secretary of the National Associa-
ton of Wool Manufacturers.
Those testifying pointed out that
when the Underwood-Simm law was
enacted all nations were on gold
basis and the import tariff is built on
the assumption that exchange condi-
tons with the chief trading countries
are stable.
The plan proposed includes rescind
ing present regulations and the collec-
tion of all duties on the basis of the
foreign cost at normal rates of ex-
change. Should a foreign invoice be
IN United States money the difference
between the current rates of exchange
of the country of origin at the time OF
purchase and the normal rate of ex.
change should be added to the invoice
and duty collected OH the total.

From The Trtbmne's Washington Burcau
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-The Senate
Finance Committee to-day decided to
take no action on the legislation pro-
posed for the relief of taxpayers affect
ing the payment Of their last INSTALL
ment of taxes due Dec. 10.
The propositions before the commit
tee included plans to postpone payment
of the last installment and the tenta-
tive draft of a measure to change exist
ing law so that losses in 1920 inven-
tories could be deducted from 1919 re-
turns.
A letter from Chairman Fordney of
the House Ways and Means Committee
to Secretary Houston was read to the
committee, with the reply of Secretary
Houston opposing either postponement
or allowance for shrinkage in inven-
tories. Mr.. Houston takes the ground
the condition of the Treasury does not
warrant such action.
The committee concluded under the
circumstances it was not wise to press
the proposed relief legislation, and for
practical purposes this is the end of it.
The Finance Committee will not
meet with the Ways and Means Com
mlttee for tax searchings and tariff
hearings. However. the members de-
cided to keep in close touch with the
testimony before the Ways and Means
Committee, hear all witnesses that de-
sire to appear before them and call
any from whom they may desire spe-
ciai information. The committee will
not publish testimony which will be
substantially repetition of what the
Ways and Means Committee will have
published.

Within an hour after the discovery
of the fire it was confined to the luri

under control. By that time, however,
enlbers and sparks had started ncipI-

done.

and train service to Tottenville and

height of the fire.
Most of the lumber destroyed was of
the most expensive grade, being in
tended for use by piano manufacturers.
The Williams company, which owns the
yard, is to move to Virginia in about
SIX months, and the property is to be
taken over by the city for use in the

Obregon May Abandon
Recognition Propaganda
Headquarters in W ashington and
New York To Be Discon-
timed. Is Relief

MEXICO CITY, Dec 9.-Efforts to
obtain recognition by the United States
OF the Obregon regime in Mexico will
not be carried on as actively as they
were under the administration Of
Adolfo de la Huerta, it is said here.
There is no indication that the propa-
ganda headquarters at Washington and
New York will be kept up. It is de-
clared he is inclined to allow his ad-
mlnistration during the next few
months to act as his appeal for recog-
milton.
An indication that recognition by the
United States is not far away. it is
asserted, is the absence Of Alberto j.
PAM from the Obregon Cabinet, and it
IS understood the one time Mexican
Minister to France is the new Presi-
dents choice for an eventual repre-
sentative in Washington. 1t is not be-
lieved in official circles here that PAM
Will go to Washington to lobby in
favor of recognition.
Recognition of Mexico within the
last few days by Japan, Germany and
Brazil will bring similar action by all
the European powers, according to the
newspapers.
