Borah Gets Support
in Move to Determine
Future of Big Ships

Washington. Jan. 27-Bi-partisan
support for the. naval disarmament
movement was given in the Senate
today during discussion of Senator
Borah's disarmament resolutions.
Senator Borah's plan for an official de-
termination of the future value OF
big ships in the American naval pro-
gram was endorsed by Senators Nc
Kellar of Tennessee and King, OF
Utah. Democrats, while Senator b.
rah spoke at some length in behalf of
his project.
The disarmament discussion was
interjected in the Senate tariff debate
but without any attempt to secure q
vote. While the Senate discussion was
in progress the House naval commit
tee postponed indefinitely the hearing
of General Pershing on disarmament
schedules for tomorrow because OF
continued illness of Representative
Butler Of Pennsylvania, committee
chairman.
Senator Borah declared that if the
people Of the United States. Great
Britain and Japan could give voice to
their opinions he felt confident they
would speak for an agreement to re-
duce naval building. He added he
would discuss later the suggestions
from Elihu Root and others, for post
ponement until after the Inauguration
of the new administration of action
on his resolution looking to a aval
disarmament agreement between the
three powers.
There are two ways to defeat dis
armament" Senator Borah declared
Zone is to oppose it, conscientiously
Another is that adopted by others in
public life who are willing to give liz
service to disarmament, but conjure
up all conceivable methods toDsecure
delay"
Many high naval officers, Senator
Borah said, believe that capital ships
have lost their value, because of the
development of submarine and aerial
warfare, but were unable, he said, to
state their real opinions. In this con-
nection he pleaded for what he de-
scribed as the release of the real
! thought Of the navy" and asked that
officers might be able to give their
real views to the government.
Notice was served by the senator
that if the naval committee should not
act on his resolutions of inquiry he
would introduce another resolution
calling for thorough investigation OF
the naval program, relative value OF
capital and all other ships and types
of naval armament.
Senator King also urged an tex
haustive investigation" to determine
what units would make a modern
navy. He cited that the present
building program was adopted five
years ago, before the United States
entered the war and before the
changes wrought by the submarines
and added that it should be settled
whether the United States should
proceed with the big ship construc-
ton in view of the changes in Naval
warfare.
Senator Gerry, Democrat, Rhode
Island, interrupted to observe that in
1918, during the war. Secretary Dan
iels recommended an increased naval
building program. Senator King re-
piled that Secretary Daniels recon-
mendations were not approved by the
American people and would be repu-
dated If renewed.

orders asking for information con-
corning the State garage now being
erected in Augusta. The first order
directed the Highway Commission to

pleted. estimated cost of the full

j auditor to file with the Legislature

ment OF all money paid out for the

| nation as to what funds the money

vide all members of the Legislature
| with copy of the Maine Book, which
| was passed.

order inviting Timothy F. Callahan
of Lewiston to appear before the
House on Feb. 1, and give such in
formation as he could upon the cost
of the State garage and other mat
| tiers of financial interest to the State.
! Hinckley of South Portland moved
| that the order be tabled.
IF any of you gentlemen read the
Lewiston Journal of last night" said
Mr.. Rounds, but was interrupted at
that point by Hinckley of South
Portland, who rose to point of or
der.
/. The gentleman will state his point
of order, said the Speaker.
A motion to table is not debatable,
said Mr.. Hinckley.
| The point of order is sustained the
Speaker announced.
The motion to table was lost.
| Mr.. Rounds resumed the thread Of
his remarks and declared that if the
members of the House had read the
statement of Mr.. Callahan in the
| Lewiston Journal of Wednesday
night they must feel that they ought
to know what he knew about the
finances of the State. In his opin-
| ion it would be valuable for their
F.! guidance.
! He then quoted extracts from a
Lewiston dispatch in the Portland
! Express of Wednesday night, which
i quoted some of the statements Mr..
Callahan made in his Lewiston Jour-
nal article. He quoted particularly
~ to. xvv1s Oh. ~
said that the contingent fund had
never been so misused. AS the
representatives of the State they
ought to know about these things.
He said that Mr.. Callahan charged
! that the Budget Committee was used
to take two mills tax unnecessarily
, out of the pockets of the people of
Maine.
II for one" said Mr.. Rounds,
would like to know what Mr. Calla-
han knows. feel that as former
/ State auditor his information would
be of value to U.S."
! The order was then passed and
Murchie of Calais moved that a re-
cess of 10 minutes be taken, which
was voted. There followed a. hurried
| conference between many members
and Mr.. Rounds and when the House
was again in session, Buzzell of Bel
fast secured the floor and addressed
| the House.
| He said that State finances were
of vital interest to all, but that at
the beginning of session there were
always wild rumors afioat and care
must be taken not to be misiead. At

FOR STATE ROADS

WASHINGTON. June 30.-Dela-
ware would receive more than dou-
BILE the amount OF Federal aid funds
now provided for in the present
Federal aid law under the Phipps-
Dowell bill, passed by the House.
Under the present law Delaware's
share is s162.674. Under the Phipps-
Dowell bill the States share would
be increased to s4S5.O00.
The committee in reporting the
bill pointed out the Importance OF
Delaware roads in interstate traffic,
but because OF the small area un-
der the present law II would receive
a small part Of the Federal appro-
priations. Under the present law
the bill provides that the existing
method Of apportionment OF funds
shall be retained except that no
State shall get less than one-half Of
/ per cent Of the allotment each
year. The bill carried no appropria-
tons. since the appropriations are
not within the power OF the commit
tee on roads.
