NATION LACKS FUNDS
GREAT BRITAIN WILL NOT ENTER
RACE FOR NAVAL SUPREMACY.
AMBASSADOR TO UNITED STATES
GIVEN POWER TO PROPOSE
WORLD CONFERENCE.
twe,prn Newspaper Union News ssrice.I

London, Feb. 9.-Sr Auckland
Geddes, British ambassador to the
United States, is returning to Wash
ington, armed with full powers to
press forward proposals for world
conference OF disarmament, according
to reports published here.
Washlngton.-The Senate naval com
mittee has concluded from testimony
of naval experts that 1t would be un-
wise and inadvisable to stop work for
six months on capital ships while ex'
perts study the best types based on
the lesson Of the war.
In response to Senator Borah's reso'
luton of inquiry as to advisability OF
such a move the committee will prob
ably give the Senate report Of Its
conclusions prepared by Senator Poin'
dexter, Republican of Washington,
who was instructed to draft it by the
committee.
The committee acted in executive
session. Action was taken soon after
members of the naval general board
opposed the proposal. The House nav
nj committee considering disarmament
heard Sir Philip Gibbs, British war
correspondent, who said Great Britain
would not enter race with the United
States for sea power. England, he said,
did not have the money.
Tokio.-Yukio Ozaki, former lead
er of the Kensei-Kai, or opposition
party, told the Associated Press he
would introduce independently before
the diet resolution proposing cur
tailment of naval armament. His res
olution, he said, would ask Japan to
communicate with the United States
and England. and to decide on the best
way to restrict naval programs in con
junction with those nations. NJ. Ozaki
was expelled from the Kensei-Kal be-
cause he had not supported suffrage
bill urged by that organization.
"My resolution" says NJ. Ozaki. "al.
ready has been filed with the secretary
OF the diet. Briefly 1t follows the line
OF the resolution Of Senator Borah. II
provides that Japan should communi.
cate with the United States and Great
Britain on naval reduction. My idea
is that an international agreement on
this should be reached.
II will propose that army expendi'
lures should be reduced ms far as pos
slble and that army projects should be
in accordance with the covenant Of the
League of Nations"

TOTAL OF s412,sso,ooo Is APPRo
PRiATEp BY UNITED STATES
SENATE.
SUPPLY BILL PASSED
HOUSE is WARNED OF ECONOMY
NEED BY REPRESENTA-.
TIVE GOOD.
Western Newspaper Union Ssu, serieso

Washington, Feb. 10.-The sundry
civil appropriation bill has been passed
by the Senate, carrying S412,35o'OOO, OF
which about S250,O0O.0O0 is for war
veterans. Among principal items was
S1S,60O.000 for new hospitals and en-
largements of hospital facilities for
service men as requested by the Amer
lean Legion. Funds for compensation
and vocational training of the service
men also were carried.
The appropriation of Sl0,0O0,OO0 for
DEVELOPMENT of the Mussel Shoals, Al
ALBANIA water power project was re.
tained.
During final consideration, the Sen.
ate voted to increase the appropria-
ton for Mississippi river flood control
from SG,67O,000 to SS,oO0,0O0.
The measure is but the second of the
sixteen supply bills 10 be passed by
,ne Senate, and Republican leaders are
expressing private opinions that sew
eral appropriation measures appear to
be doomed and will be forced over
into the extra session.
As passed by the Senate, the sundry
civil bill carried almost S3OOOO,OOO
more than the House provided, and
about S2O,O0O,0O0 less than the appro-
priation for the present year. 1t Will
be sent to conference.
Warning the House that the mount
ing wave of, high taxation would not
roll back without sharp and sweep
ing reduction In government expendi-
lures, Chairman Good of the appropri-
ations committee declared the time
had come to call halt.
Huge figures were hurled over the
heads OF members as Mr.. Good told
dramatically of the vast sums expend-
ed. and the appeals for more. There
was shout of approval when he in
sisted that the appropriation bills
must be passed before March 4, so
that the framers Of new tariff law
may know the amount OF cloth out of
which they must patch the nations
coat.
Laying down the definite policy
that the expenses must be cut be-
fore talking OF lower taxes, Mr.. Good
insisted that appropriations for the
year beginning July should be kept
within S3.5O0,0OO000, virtually the
sum recommended in the big supply
measures for that period.
Mr.. Goods plea for government
economy was made In presenting the
first deficiency bill for the present
year, carrying S203,OO0,0O0. Demo-
cratic members of the committee de-
clarcd there would be other deficiency
sums, and Representative Byrnes, Dem.
South Carolina, declared direct ap-
preparations this year had passed the
five billion dollar mark. This stupen-
dous sum could best be understood, he
added, by the fact that In order TO
meet II the government must levy nm
average tax of $50 on every man, won.
an and child.
In suggesting methods OF raising
revenue without making the burden on
the individual more severe than IL has
been since the early days OF the war.
Mr.. Good said he doubted II n tariff
law coult raise more than S400,O00.-
900 without disturbing international
trade relations.

DEBT OF GERMANY CONSIDERED
BY ALLIES TO REDUCTION OF
24o, 1000, 900 GOLD MARKS.
Western Newspaper Union New. Service,

Rome, Feb. S.-Foreign Minister
Sforza in the Chamber of Deputies an
nounced that at the meeting of the Su-
preme Council 1t was decided to reduce
the expense to Germany of the allied
occupation of the Rhine to 24O,000,OO
gold marks.
Count Sforza said that In fixing the
amount of the German reparations it
was necessary to consider Germany's
debt and her capacity to pay.
This was difficult because Germany
had failed to supply data.
The conference, he added, wished
for payments In proportion to Ger
many's growing prosperity.
He said that although for obvious
reasons, Germany had declined to pub
lish statistics of her economic situa-
ton, this could not conceal the phe-
nomenon that daily was becoming ap-
parent, the contrast between the eco
nomIc and financial condition OF Ger
many.
In economic matters, Germany, he
said, was showing tendency to re.
gain her former flourishing position.
but her financial position was growing
worse, and there was reason to antici-
pate serious crisis.
London.-Count Sforza's statement
concerning concessions to Germany by
reducing the cost of the Rhneland oc-
cupation TO about fl2,0OO,000, which is
only about one-sixth of the present
cost, Is the first official announce
ment In this respect. although 1t pre-
ylously had been limited.
As the treaty provides for fifteen
years OF occupation, this reduction
will make an enormous difference in
the German budget.
Germany has given notice that II
will reply shortly to the allied invita-
tIon 10 send representatives TO the
repnrations conference In London
March !. 1t was officially stated.
Because of the preparations neccs'
sury Il was found that Feb. 2S, the
date originally fixed. would not permit
of complete formulation of the An
glo-rrcnch program, particularly since
the allied declaration OF willingness to
examine into Germany's counter pro-
posals.
1t was pointed out that this conces'
sion to Germany had neccssitated most
complete preparations In order that the
British and French delegates might be
able TO meet any move by the Ger.
mans intended merely to evade the
payment OF reparntlons.
