AMERICAN SAILORS
ARE CRITICISED
Norwegian Newspapers Severely Score
Their Conduct While on Shore
y Leave There.

CHRISTIANIA, Norway. July a.
The officers of the American battleship
squadron which recently paid a two
weeks visit to this port were very
popular and We're entertained pri-
vately in Norwegian homes, but the
leading newspapers of the city criti-
cised severely the conduct of some CT
the sailors while on shore leave.
The squadron was composed of the
Kansas, Michigan, Connecticut, South
Carolina and Minnesota, under COM
mand of Rear Admiral Hughes.
The Christiania newspapers pub
lished several articles protesting be-
cause the American sailors made too
violent love to the Norwegian girls
while riding about the city in taxicabs,
asserting that the sailors Squeezed and
Rugged them" in public.
One OF Norway's prominent clergy
men wrote a protest to the Afterposten
charging that the conduct of some of
the American sailors was 'an insult to
the city, and a disgrace to the Ameri-
can nation. He urged Admiral Hughes
TO put a stop to it. Some parents sent
letters to the newspapers urging the
Norwegian authorities TO protect the
Christiania girls from associating with
the American sailors.

TO CONSIDER The
FORDNEY TARIFF
Congress cs Southern Industries Has
Been Called to Meet in Greensboro.
(Ry GEO. II. MANNINe.l

WASHINGTON, D. c., July "a
A congress of southern Industries has
been called to meet in Greensboro, N.
c., August Is and 16. to consider the
Fordney tariff bill from the standpoint
of southern industrial interests.
The principal purposes of the meet
ing will be Cd to pass upon the Ford
viewpoint; (2) consider charging the
powers of the tariff commission; (3)
consider American valuations as ba-
sis of levying import duties, and (4)
TO discuss free trade, embargoes and
revenues, protective and equalization
tariffs as a national policy of govern
ment.
Vice President Coolidge, Senator
Ashurst, of Arizona, Chairman Page, of
the tariff commission, and Chairman
Fordney, of the house ways and means
committee, have been invited to adj
dress the congress by Mr.. E. p. Whar-
ton,s president of the North Carolina
division of the Southern Tariff asso-
citation and president OF the Green's
boro National bank, who is back of the
congress call. All southern industries,
comercial, banking and all organiza-
tions in the south will be requested to
send delegates.
In discussing the congress here to-
day, Mr.. Wharton said:
"At this congress the productive in
terests of the south will pass judg-
ment upon the Fordney tariff bill, and
will send delegation to Washington
to present our findings to the senate
finance committee. This examination
will be made by the representatives of
the commercial, industrial and bank
ing interests of the south, and will
confine its deliberations to q study of
the business effect of the tariff upon
southern producers and southern pros
perity.
1.-THE south has become thoroughly
aroused over the Importance of tariff
legislation and we want to hear all
phases of 1t discussed. 1t is my opin-
ion that the tariff commission should
be given at least advisory powers in
tariff legislation and we will place the
subject upon our program for dis
cussion. The basis of arriving at the
value of an article on which an i'm
port duty is levied is as important as
the rate. and we want to give due de-
liberation to the application of rates
ms we'll as to the rate itself.
GAS a banker, / want to say that
tariff legislation affects every bank
vault in the south There is scarcely a
security of any sort that does not feel
the effect directly or indirectly of tar
if levies. and there are as many rea-
sons why the bankers of the south
should attend this congress as they
should attend a meeting of the board
of directors of their bank, for the
southern tariff congress is a meeting
of the directors of southern industries
and southern progress"

FOOD CRISIS In
MOSCOW Is OVER

RIGA, July 2S.-Moscow papers say
that the local food crisis there should
aow be over, as food shipments have
come in both from abroad and from
the provinces. and that regular distri-
button should now proceed. The basis
Of current distribution of bread is,
however, only three pounds for five
days to workmen Of the preferred"
classes, and only one pound for five
days to the ''non-preferred" classes.
The former are also to get four pounds
Of hewings.
Reports from Petrograd state that
$1,000 tons Of foodstufYs, mostly
flour, herrings, beans, rice, etc. have
either arrived or are en- route for the
capital. More than 1000, 900 scythes
and thousands OF other agricultural
implements have already arrived there.

NAVAL BUDGET

TOXIC, July 23.-The naval esti-
mate calling for. the expenditure of
500,000,000 yen (nominally about
$3.50 ,O00,0o0) for the fiscal year 1922
23 is smaller than it would have been
II Admiral Baron Kato, minister Of
marine, had not insisted upon economy
in the cost of maintenance, says the
Nichi Nichi.
This estimate is about equal to the
naval appropriations made for the
current year.
1t is hoped, by cutting down the cost
of the navy's ordinary expenses, to
leave available about 275, 900 yen
for continuing the program of con-
structing eight battleships and eight
cruisers. This would be equal to the
amount spent on construction this
year.
The minister of marine apparently is
determined that nothing shall inter
fere with the progress of the building
program.
The following principles of economy
have been decided upon, according to
the Nichi Nichi:
First, there shall be economy in
personnel. There are too many high
| ranking officers in the Japanese navy
compared with the navies Of other
powers. Great Britain has IL admirals
and %, -admirals, while Japan has
is admirals and 26 vice-admirals
Britain has 10000 men in service and
Japan $4,000.
Maintenance costs are to be cut by
reducing the size and number of the
standing squadrons. Only one such
squadron will be left. The Third
squadron will be reduced in size and
placed on special duties. The remain
ing vessels are to be anchored as the
fourth fleet, in reserve. The number of
men on such vessels will be drasti-
cally reduced. Fuel consumption will
be cut to the lowest possible figure.
The system of allowing men in ser
vice to return home before their time
OF service has expired will be greatly
extended. In this way a considerable
amount Of food and clothing can be
saved.
Obsolete vessels will be disposed of.
BY exercising economy along these
lines, the navy expects to cut down the
ordinary expenditures to 10000, 900
yen. This would leave a margin for
special expenses,
