U.S.F0RE|GN POLICY
CHECKS FUND CUTS
Congress Expected to Pro-
vide Lhd Army and Navy
Appropriations.

Those congressman who set out
upon a program of slashing the ap-
propriations for the Army and Navy
are finding themselves confronted by
recent active demonstrations of policy
in the State Department War Depart
ment and Navy Department. indlcat-
ing strikingly firm foreign policy to
be adopted and enforced by the ad-
ministration.
The whole attitude of the admin
istration as shown in action already
ing to the Congress that it viii be
necessary to keep up a high state or
efficiency and preparation in the mill
tary arm Of the government and that
while the executive and administra-
tive branches are asserting and main
tanning pronounced strong foreign
policy, Congress will be expected to
back them up with necessary supplies
and not to weaken the force of the
announcement of policies adopted by
lessening the ability to carry them
out.
zap Issue shows Policy.
An accumulation of recent incidents
has served. it is said. to call attention
to the subject. In the first place,
the President in his addresses asserted
the intention to maintain a strong
American policy. Secretary OF State
Hughes is known to be committed to
1t also.
The firm attitude taken by this
government on the questions growing
out of the controversy over the Island
of Yap shows that all American rights
in the Pacific and elsewhere involved
in the ending of the world war are
to be strictly safeguarded. at what
government. it Is pointed out. has
not yielded an inch in any controversy
arising or threatened with Japan,
either as to zap or the immigration
issue.
Woods Visit Significant.
The sending Of Gen. Wood to the
Philippines is not without significance
in the general plan of the adminis-
tration covering all Pacific questions,
pending and possible. His rank and
prominence, and the fact that he is
deeply interested in his mission and
finds it agreeable, add to the signifi-
canoe of his deputation.
The visit Of Secretary DENLY to the
feet is also considered in connection
with the resolute foreign policy of the
administration, and especially in re-
lation to the subject of preparedness
and efficiency.
The dispatching of a section of the
fleet to the Pacific. and the holding of
special maneuvers in Pacific waters
have not been overlooked.
Army Plan Stirs Interest.
Secretary Weeks announcement of
the placing of Gen. Pershing at the
head of new branch of the service
to be ready for instant action in cases
of emergency, and to be in fit condi-
ton therefor by far-seeing prepared
ness has served to further concentrate
attention upon and to stimulate inter-
est in the foreign policy of the ad-
ministration and the course of Con-
gress with the appropriations for the
Army ard Navy.

PRESIDENT SHOWS
KEEN INTEREST IN
BALL RENT LAW
Expresses Anxiety to Fill
Rent Board Vacancy With
Strong Candidate.

President Harding is keenly inter
ested in matters relating to the Dis
trict of Columbia and is bringing
about improvements in the capital
according to Senator Ball of Della
ware. chairman Of the Senate District
committee, who conferred with the
President on District affairs yester-
day afternoon
Senator Ball took up with the
Presld dent particularly the appoint
ment of rent commi ssioner to fill
the vacancy caused by the resigna- :
District Commi ssioner. The Della
ware senator urged upon the Presi-
dent the need Of filling this vacancy
promptly.
In view of the decision Of the su-
preme Court upholding the act Gre
ating the rent commission. the work
OF the commission is increasing
enormously. Senator Ball did not
discuss with the President local can
didates for the office of rent COM
missioner. but pointed out the need
Of prompt action in this matter.
1t is expected that Senator Ball will
have another conference with the
President on local affairs in the near
future.
Would Extend Ball Rent Act.
Senator Ball said today that he
-HSuld soon Introduce resolution ex-
tending the life of the Ball rent act,
tension will be for two years prob
ably.
Senator Ball is considering at pres
ent some anne ndments to the existing
law. The President. it is said, is
anxious that the rent act shall be
properly administered. and will en-
deavor to select a strong and capab BILE
man to fill Capt. Oysters place on the
rent commission.
At the meeting of the Senate Dis
trict committee scheduled for Monday
the committee will be formally or
ganized and subcommittee appointed
to which the various District bills
already introduced will be referred
for consideration. 1t is not likely that
any bills will be taken up for action
on Monday. The committee has be
fore il the nominations of members
OF the board of charities. and will
give attention to those nominations
at the coming meeting.
Tenants Keep Apartments.
Following the decision of the
United States Supreme Court uphold :
ing the validity of the Ball rent act.
Justice Siddons of the District Su-
preme Court today oyerruIed motions
for judgment for possession made by
Harvey B. Tribby, who sought TO
evict eight tenants from as many
apartments in the Maxwell. at 1419
Clifton street northwest Although
other law points had been raised by
counsel for the tenants, the court de-
cided that the defense of the Ball
law was sufficient and refused the
summary judgments
Chief Justice Mccoy took similar
action in three landlord and tenant
cases. which came before him on mo-
tions for summary Judgments.

New Element Injected Into
Sundays ParIey Between
Lloyd George and BRAND.
BY the Associated Press

by the Associated Press.
LONDON. April 2e-Dramatic eff
forts on the part of Germany to in
dUce the United States to arbitrate
the reparationS question between Ber-
lin and the ententeNeovernment and
the refusal of the Washington gov
its of the vexing problem have lent
rev interest 40 the conference al
LyGTne Sunday between Premier
Er,and of France and Prime Minister
Lloyd George of Great Britain. The
expressed desire of the United States
that there be IAN immediate sresump-
tion of negotiations" has brought into
the situation a new element, and ii
has been popularity supposed the
premiers would merely consider plans
for further occupation of German ter
ritory. and not renewal of ex-
changes between London and Paris
and Berlin.
The new factors entering into the
situation make ii probable that Mr..
Lloyd George and M. BRAND will find
themselves called upon to make some
sort of answer to the implication in
the United States note to Berlin that
further negotiations should be CON-
menced.
1t is known that military authorities
of France have perfected all plans for
the occupation of cities and towns in
the industriaily important Ruhr dis
trict of Germany. and have formulated
economic penalties that will be put
into operation when occupation of
these places has been completed.
Rejects Another Demand.
Germany. at the same time she
appealed to Washington. sent a COM
munication to the allies rejecting the
demand that the gold holdings Of the
Reichsbank in Berlin be deposited
before May / in either Cologne or
CoblenZ as security for reparation pay
ments.
These holdings amounted to l,09I,-
$685. marks April ). On the other
hand, the German shipping delega tons
has reduced by 100000 tons its esti-
turned over TO the allies under the
Versailles treaty. The Germans origi-
naliy asserted 100000 tons of ship
ping. valued at 100000. 900 gold
marks, has been turned over, but she
has notified the entente that an al
tentative valuation On lower basis
will be submitted soon.
DR.. Walter Simons. German foreign
minister. will speak in the rcichstag
Monday or Tuesday and will answer
questions as to the allied demands and
the position taken by the Berlin gov
ernment. 1t may be that during his
address nc will outline the terms Ger

Ruhr region by the French, and the
