cause Of the refusal OF the Senate to

OPPOSITION IN HOUSE TO
 NAVAL APPROPRIATIONS BILL

Washington, Feb. 1.-The naval ap- propriation. bill ran through hostile wat CTS in the house today but at the end was still af1oat
 Shot at from all sides it almost went down at times as members attempted to riddle some of the provisions of the S395.- 900, ,000 measure. One section, on the point of going out, was saved by Chair man Butler of the naval affairs commit tee who went to the front and rescued it. Opposition to the bill cropped out was result of the general dissatisfaction with the new method of framing appro- priation legislation. Heretofore the naval bill has been drafted by tn enaval committee, but under the so-called budget system that committee holds it's hands whiIe subcommittee on appropriations does the work
 Representative britten of Illinois, rank ing republican member of the naval com mittee threw most of the bembs using | always the argument that funds recom- mended by the framers of the measure were not authorized by law. In this way many sections went out on points or order with indications that many more will go out for only little head way was made with the reading today. l Advocates of economy and friends of disarmament jumped to their feet in all parts of the chamber to throw out an amendment by Representative Hicks, re- publican. New York, of the naval com mittee. providing s7,50o,000 for navy air craft. At the end, they had their way although Mir. Hicks pleaded hard and earnestly fer sufficient funds to build up the air branct2 of the sea service. There was no vote on the amendment, it being ruled out on 2 point of order as new | legisiatisn. @
 There were many speeches for and against the biggest navy in the. world Representative Pou. democrat. North Car olina, declared that while he had voted for big navy every year during his 20 years of service, he had hoped the time might come when he could cease giving such support.
 "A battleship Is of no earthly value except to kin or destroy" he said Right Eows ninety per cent. of all government appropriations are for the army and navy and God help us if this thing is tc continue. I see no hope for the future
 The chairman of the military committee
 recently made a startling statement
 which was calculated to shock bu
 which nevertheless is true when he sait
 America today was without a frient among the nations of the world So
