United Press Staff Correspondent
Washington, Mar. 9--Congression-
al leaders have begun to demand that
President Harding define his idea OF
an adequate navy" The presidents
reference to American naval policy,
they say, have been only general and
before the new naval appropriations
bill is introduced in the house they
wish to know more definitely where
the president stands. Al ready their
insistence has brought results.
Secretary of the Navy Denby, it
was learned today, will enter this
wek into detailed study Of the ma
val bill which died in the senate with
the old congress. He will confer with
naval experts, chiefs of the various
bureaus, and prepare summary OF
the salient points which he believes
should be included in the. new bill.
This report, it is understood, either
will be submitted to the president af-
ter its completion, Or will be the out
growth of conferences between Hard
ing and DENLY.
The president is expected to adopt
this method for an expression of his
views on Americas naval program
Secretary DENLY intends to review
the situation before the extra session
of congress. When the session con-
venes the ,houe will conduct new
hearings on the naval bill. Member
of house naval committee believe al
that time the new administration will
define it's attitude on:
Il 1. The prospects of a disarma
ment conference.
2. Continuance of the 1916 build
ing program and the desirability O.

SUGAR Ref F|NERy
WILL CONSTRUCT THIS BEFORE
CANE MILLS PUT IN
OPERATION
NO CANE READY
FOR MILLS YET
But Will Be Plenty of Raw Sugar to
Refine-All This Years Crop
For Seed

R. P. Anderson. engineer for the
United Sugar Corporation, arrived
here last night to make plans for the
construction of the big refinery which
the company will construct even be-
fore the crushers are put in. Work,
Mr.. Anderson said. will begin on the
refinery very shortly.
at may seem that we are getting
the cart before the horse" said Mr..
Anderson, "in constructing the re-
finery before we put in the cane mill
for securing raw sugar. The reason
for this is that we will be able to
handle a large amount of raw sugar
through the refinery here before we
are able to secure a sufficient amount
! of cane to supply our own raw ma
terial.
"As matter of fact" Mr.. Ander-
son continued, "all of the cane we can
secure from this years crop will be
needed for seed for next years crop,
which means that we will have no
cane available for crushing until next
year. When it is ready we will have
the mill for crushing ready and can
then commence supplying the retin-
cry.
Will Buy All Cane
Mr.. Anderson said that the COM
pany will buy all of the cane produced
! in~this territory, whether the grower
has a contract with the eompany-'e o.
not, or whether he has one acre or 6
thousand. He said, however, that il
. the farmers here didn't raise the
cane themselves that the company will
raise it, already having put in a.
: large a crop as they could secure seet
for.
CAPTAIN H. A. Johns, local repre-
sentative for the corporation has JUS
returned from Palm Beach count!
where he was able to secure 200 ton
of seed which will be put in imme
: diately. This will practically com
plete the amount needed for the land
owned by the corporation.
= Mr.. Anderson is very enthusiast
u over the outlook and says that tn
8 delay incident to securing a prospec
tive supply of raw material has say
ed the company about $300,000 in tn
'e price of machinery which has gor
down in the lat few months.

MORE FEDERAL
CASH FOR WEST,
STANF|ELO IDEA
Herald Washington Bureau)


WASHINGTON, April o.-Federal
appropriations for highway con-
struction in Oregon will be greatly
augmented, IL an amendment. draft
ed by United States Senator r. N.
Stanfield to the federal highway bill
is adopted.
Briefly, the amendment provides
that after the deduction Of not &c
exceed 5 per cent for administra-
tion. IL per cent OF the funds avail
able annually for federal highway
construction shall be apportioned
to the federal land states in pro-
portion to the number OF acres In
forest reserves in each. and that the
remaining IS per cent shall be ap-
portioned to the state in proper
ton to the number of motor We
hicles licensed each year.
Provision is further made that
the funds apportioned to the fed
eral land states shall be used for
the construction and maintenance
OF roads, wholly or partly, in the
forest reserves.
Party Pledge Followed
"The clause in the amendment
providing for the apportionment oi
12 per cent OF the highway funds
to the public land states is in ac
cordance with a plank adopted by
the republican party In its plat
form at Chicago last June" said
Senator Stanfield in discussing tn,
legislation.
"In the western states and Alaskc
large areas OF land have ben placed
in forest reserves to conserve theiI
wealth for the benefit OF the future
children of the states, and the plan
adopted declares that these public
lands should be a controlling factor
in the apportionment Of fedora
highway funds.
"These lands are not open to set
tlement. improvement, development
nor are they subject to taxation
The children CT the eastern and
middle states are part owners and
beneficiaries of this conserved
wealth equally with the children OF
the states in which the forest re,
serves are located. The eastern and
middle states long ago passed their
public lands to private ownership
and they are now being taxed to
help bear the public burdens OF the
government, among them its school
and roads.
Present Plan Burden
The public land states are com
pelled to bear all these burdens by

land only, and in some OF the states
