this order of the Congress. When
the present Administration came into
responsibility II began an early in
Qulry into the failure to execute the
expressed purpose Of the Jones act.
only one conclusion has been pos
sible. Frankly, members OF House
and Senate. eager as l am to join
you In the making OF an American
merchant marine commensurate with
our commerce. TIN announcement of
our commercial treaties would in
volve us in a chaos OF trade rela-
tionships and add indescribably to
the confusion of the already disor-
dered commercial world.
Our power to do so is not dis
puied, but power and ships, without
con ity OF relationship. win not give
Us the expanded trade which is in
separably linked with a great mer-
chant marine. Moreover, the applied
reduction Of duty. for which the
treaty announcements were neces-
sary, encouraged only the carrying
Of dutlable imports to our shores,
while the tonnage which unfurls the
flag on the seas is both free and
dutiable. and the cargoes which
n.alxe n nation eminent in trade are
outgoing rather than incoming.
IL is not my thought to lay the
problem in detail before you to-day.
IL is desired only TO say to you that
the Executive branch CO the Gov
ernment, unlnfluepced by the pro-
test OF any nation, for none has
been mace. is well convinced that
your proposal, highly intended and
heartily supported here, is so fraught
with difficulties and so marked by
tendencies TO discourage trade eX-
pansion that / invite your tolerance
OF nom compliance for a very few
weeks until plan may be presented
which contemplates no greater draft
upon the public treasury and which,
though yet too crude to offer 1t to-
day. gives such promise OF expand
ing our merchant marine that II will
argue its own approval. 1t Is enough
to say to-day that we are so pos
sessed of ships, and the American
intention to establish y merchant
marine is so unalterable. that plan
of reimbursement, at no other cost
than is contemplated in the exist
ing act ill appeal to the pride and

lean people.
There is before you the compile

been termed a permanent" tariff
law. the word permanent" being

New York Herald Bureau,
Washington. ID. C., Dec. q.
Convinced that the Hughes pro-
yramme Will be adopted by the arms
conference. the House Naval Affairs
Committee is now making up estimates
on basis of eighteen capital ships for
this natlcn, which will mean an annual
reduction of perhaps s225.OOO.OOO for
ihe support OF the Navy Department.
Nineteen OF the twenty-one members
~ the committee are in full accord with
the plan to have the United States, Great
Britain and japan scrap q large por-
ton OF their navies. The optimism Of
the committee was further buoyed UP
,o-day by the opinion expressed by the
president In his message as to favor
able outcome OF the arms conference.
Thot there is a pronounced propa-
Tnnda on In favor OF saving the per-
sonnel OF the navy even though the ships
are scrapped was learned to-day from
members OF the House naval committee.

Some idea Of how the navy personnel

FROM the records OF the Naval Affairs

iucted On 1916 when the question of per-
ennnci for seventeen large ships was
discussed. Experts gave Il as their

istration of a defined policy than
ever can be made possible by tariff
duties prescribed without inhexibil-
ity.
There is manifest difference OF
opinion about the merits of Ameri-
can valuation. Many nations have
adopted delivery valuation as the
basis for collecting duties; that is,
they take the cost of the imports de-
livered at the port of entry as the
basis for levying duty. 1t is no

there is recognition Of the Tariff
Commissions fitness to recommend
urgent changes by proclamation.
I am sure about public opinion
favoring the early determination OF
our tariff policy. There have been
reassuring signs of business re-
vival from the deep slump which all
the world has been experiencing. Our
unemployment. which gave us deep
concern only a few weeks ago. has
grown encoura gingly less. and new
assurances and renewed confidence
will attend the Congressional decla-
ration that American industry will
be held secure.
Much has been said about the pro-

tion quite as disheartening as war,
and our greater obligation to-day Is

REPORTS ARE GUARDED
 BY JAP ENYOYS

WASHINGTON, Dec I2 - Japan takes the press seriously. Not hat other nations do not but Japan takes it SO seriously that it conduces to lack of sleep on the part of the Japanese. This has become apparent following a study of the remarkable system pre- vailing in the Japanese embassy here for the dissemination of news The Japanese are usually credited with having conducted the most efficient press bureau at the Hotel Crillon dur ing the Paris conference. They have improved upon that system for the handling of information for the Wash ingtOn conference.
 The stress of this efficiency iS laid upon making news quickly and easily accessible not 10 the American and other correspondents, but 10 the Jap anese correspondents There are more than hundred special Japanese newspapermen covering the Washing ton barley.
 Captain Namura, chief adviser of Japan calls the little brown-faced scribes into conference several times week to explain in detail to them what the Hughes proposals mean and what the aims of Japan are. In this way the cables crossing the Pacific hum with conference news the trend of which is guided cautiously by the Japanese delegates here. These cor respondents conferences are held in the basement of the embassy, where the quill quvyerers gather about kitchen tables to listen to the dictum of the chief advisers. slipping sake" the while.
 TREAT AMERICANS DIFFERENT
 The American and foreign cores pondents, other than Japanese, are re ceiyed in a specially appointed cham Der on the upper floors. For them there is no consultation with the high advisers. They are permitted to ask questions and receive answers, if there are any There seldom are.
 For the benefit of Japanese scribes, white men interpreters stationed al the embassy daily turn out neat folder, numbering about dozen pages. in which is contained a review of edi- toria comment in the American press and d summary of the articles of Washington newspaper correspon- dents
 Conferences for all correspondents are also given every afternoon for q short period by one of the Japanese delegates and are held iu the new Navy Building down on the Mall. Ad- miral kato has been conducting these conferences Admiral Kato doesn't speak English
 On bulletin boards in the Japanese embassy there are posted every day, ! in Japanese script, Tokio Foreign Of flee dispatches relating to the trend of | editorial comment in Japan and there are also adyices from the Japanese embassy in Londn summarizing the trend of public opinion in England. l These bulletins are for the Japanese correspondents only.

John Beard, for years newsboy on

probate court tomorrow on a feeble
minded complaint sworn to by Eir-

peka Provident association.
The boy has been staying at the

time paying for his meals, MIS-. camp,

notion to go away, and then some 9th.

paying his way back to Topeka, it was
said.
There is no complaint that John has
committed any acts of violence. His
record is one of harmlessness, so far
as is known. He is up before daylight
selling morning papers. and works late
in the evening selling evening papers.
He is well known to every newsboy on
the streets. His mother lives in Blue
