PREDICTS EARLY CLOSE
OF CONGRESS SESSION

Prospects of agreement Of a pro-
gram Of legislation and adjournment
of Congress before Thanksgiving day
are now in sight. Senator Lodge Of
Massachusetts stated on the focr
that he was seeking to reach an
agreement with the House for an
adjournment on Thanksgiving eve.
The program, as tentatively COM
pleted, provides for enactment Of the
$500, ,000. 900 railroad debt bill and the
tax revision measure.
The railroad debt bill was before
the Senate again yesterday while the
Senate interstate commerce commits
the continued hearings on bills to re-
store rate and other powers Of the
states and for repeal Of the so-calIed
s per cent rate guarantee section of
the Esch-Cummins law.
That the fight for this legislation
would be carried soon to the Senate
Toilette. republican, Wisconsin, in
troduced amendments to the debt bill
covering both features before the
committee. One amendment would
repeal the per cent provision, an.
other would prohibit Interstate Com
merce Commission DEGREES from hav-
ing any force or effect over intrastate
traffic and third would provide that
funds derived from the debt bill
should be spent on railroad mainte-
nance or improvements. A clause of
the last amendment would compel the
carriers to spend repair funds in
their own shops or plants and would
prevent contracts to outside con-
Germs. =.
In discussion Of the legislation in
the Senate a, statement was present.
ed from Director General Davis show
ing that under the present accounts
between the railroads and the gov
ernmen there was a balance due the
carriers Of about $3.50. 100000.
The balance sheet submitted was
of October l and showed $554,000,000
owed by the railroads to the govern
! ment and $S34,000,000 due to the car
! riers.

WORKING OUT SUM
SAVED BY NAVY CUT
Effect in U. S. of Proposed
Arms Limitation Being
Considered by Experts.

What the United States plan for
| the Limitation of naval armament
will save to the American peo-
pie in dollars and cents is now
! being worked out by experts of the
Navy Department under the direction
of the Secretary of the Navy. These
/ figures, when compiled. will take into
| consideration what will be saved
J on the building program-which will
be abandoned if the United States
plan goes throuEh-the increased
cost to the country because of the
/. maintenance and manning of the
| additional ships, construction of
! needed additional yards, etc. 1t was
explained today that the plan pro-
! posed by the United States haI been
| known to only few officials of the
Navy Department and the secret had
! been so jealouSly guarded that no
attempt had been made to gather the
| statistics.
. Assistant Secretary's Comment.
! Assistant Secretary Roosevelt point
i ed out that in all probability there
| would be saved $500. 100000 on the
building program of the United
, learned that approximately S25O,00o.-
/ U0O would be required to complete
| this program. But the adjustment
| of contracts. etc. would prevent the
saving of this entire amount.
| IN the current appropriation act for
| the Navy S96.O00.o0O is carried for the
building program. Some of this will
| be saved if the plan goes through.
i Under The budget for the next fiscal
year probably another $90. 100000 will
| be provided for the building program
| unless the plan for limitation of arma-
ment goes through. If it does go
| through, then this item for building
will be Topped off the Navy bill.
Naval experts regard the suggestion
! that it will be possible to cut the per-
| sonnel of the Navy to $4,000 men as
absurd. They pointed out today that
! the naval vessels today, with about
100000 men, are not full manned, and
| that many of the vessels which it is
proposed to scrap are not now in COM
mission, but are laid up. Also the
vessels now building are, Of course. not
| manned. The opinion of these Navy
men is that it will be impossible 10
reduce. the presen: personnel of the
| Navy to any considerable extent and
man properly the vessels which the
! United States will retain.
For instance. eighteen battleships
| which the United States would retain
| under the plan would require $4,000
men alone.
| When it comes to scrapping the Navy
] vessels. it was said that it would be
| impossible to salvage any appreciable
| sum. The loss in money value will be
almost complete.

LONDON, England, November Is
Further study of the Hughes scheme
for the reduction of nava! burdens

of Great Britain that an initiative has
been taken which cannot be defeated
Members of parliament. clergymen,
newspaper writer's. lawyers. doctors,
business men and platform exponents
Of liberal thought, such as Lord Rob-
ert Cecil, concur in a grand chorus of
approval. All realize that important
matters of detail must be arranged,
but all declare that Secretary Hughes
main purpose must be carried out.
They assert that the public sentiment
of the World will tolerate nothing
less.
Marshal Foch's appeal to the Amer
lean Legion to fight for peace as il
lately fought for freedom stirs the
British Legion profoundly. British ex-
service men, with their hrst-hand
knowledge Of war and its aftermath
of unemployment, humiliation and
hunger, Join their American and other
comrades in the watchwords. 1T shall
cease"
British newspapers squarely face
the unfortunate aspects of the ship
ScTdpplHS movement 4hey Ae.sI ~ Z
cry Of thousands of workers threat
ened with orders to march out of the
dockyards into the company of the
unemployed. They are alive to the
CONSERVATION of the authorities al
ready in the midst of difficulties with
swarming crowds of workless. They
see the prospects of large numbers of
naval men and officers blighted and
their careers ruined. They publish
figures showing how thousands of
Britishers in the navy have already
been thrown upon a cold world by
this country'S drastic naval reductions
hitherto.
But the newspapers agree that
ahese are small Considerations COM
pared with what the Washington con-
ference promises in the way of the
financial relief Of humanity and still
better the final closing of the chapter
of war.
We must turn a deaf ear to all
cries.. says the Daily Telegraph. "As
tions unborn we must take long
views. We must steel our hearts and
study this matter with a single eye
to the general welfare and not that
of this nation only"
Well Informed British publicists do
not now and for a very long time have
not regarded the opposing Japanese
and American policies as threatening
war. Amy suspicion on the part of the
British government that Japan really
wanted war and not peace with the
United States would have led to a dis
turbance in Anglo-Japanese relations
! long ago.
The Anglo-Japanese treaty has been
retained thus far by the British gov
ernment because Of the conviction
that it was made not for war but for
peace in the Pacific and the far east.
