NEW TREATYON
WARSH|PS PROPOSED
COMES AS SURPRISE IN HOUSE.
UNITED STATES MAY ENTER
INTO PROGRAM IN SWIFT
cRUIsERS-PRESIDENT NOT
CONSULTED.

Washington, Dec. 14.-Blunt no.
|tice that the United States can not
avoid new naval program IN
swift cruisers and fleet submarines
unless treaty limitations are extend
ed to such craft, was served by the
House appropriations committee TO-
day in reporting the $293,8o6,53s
naval appropriation bill. A six line
provision placed in the bill by the
committee requested President Hard
ing to negotiate with Great Britain,
France, Japan and Italy for such an
extension Of the treaty limitation
of aircraft to be included.
The committee report said large
cruiser and submarine programs were
planned a broad-ending in other
words, competition is on again in the
single direction to which the unrati'
fled agreement (the Washington ma
val treaty. does not extend, and If
it be allowed to go unchecked, the
purse strings again must be relaxed
and this government, like all others,
will be constrained to launch a
new program to the extent neces,
sary to keep up at least abreast OF
any of the other powers.
President Harding was not con-
suited by the committee with rela,
ton to it's limitation conference re.
quest. The project for negotiations
apparently came as a surprise even
to naval officials. 1t was originated
by Chairman Kelly, of the naval ap.
propriations subcommittee The chief
reason prompting Mr.. Kelly to pro,
pose a new naval conference was
understood to have been the light
cruiser program recommended by
the navy general board. No men
ton of this is included in the pub.

on the bill. The program urged, how
ever, as necessary to keep the Unit
ed States navy on parity witt

teen light cruisers, within the TO-,

ington treaty and to cost $68,000,

BROADS|DES FIRED
At SHIPPING BILL
LAUD MEASURE
AS AID TO FARMERS-SENA-
TOR FLETCHER CHARGES
MOVEMENT AS DIRECT
RAID ON TREASURY"

Washington, Dec. Ia. The ad-
ministration shipping bill was held
up before the Senate today as a
measure "for the benefit of the
American farmer, the American
business man and the American ma
ton" and on the other hand as "a
direct raid on the treasury to pay
some people to do what they ought
to do without payment"
The measure was praised by
Senator Jones, of Washington,
chairman of the commerce commit
tee, and attacked by Senator
Fletcher, of Florida, ranking Demo-
cratic member Of the same commit
tee.
Meanwhile foes of the measure
and advocates or rural credits leg
islation further cemented their al
lance designed to displace the ship
bill in favor of the farm measure.
Indications became increasingly
apparent, however, that this move
could not be made in the near fu-
tire. as no rural credit bill pos
sessing any considerable degree of
support appeared in sight in the
Senate committee work rooms.
Senator Jones in concluding his
opening statement which he began
yesterday appealed for support by
the farmers and by labor. He en-
phasized the national defense prob
abilities of a firmly established
Merchant Marine and declared the
German merchant marine won the
war for the Allies. When Senators
expressed surprised at the declara-
ton he presented figures to show
that German ships which were
seized in American ports carried
100000 American soldiers to
France whereas American ships
transported only 24S,000 troops.
"Why Senator's" he explained
eff we had gotten, only about 24O,'
600 troops overseas, the result OF
the World War would have beer
different.

BROADEN SCOPE Of
NAVAL LIMITATION
RECOMMENDATION IN AN
NUAL NAVAL BILL-W1TH
FOREIGN POWERS TC LIMIT
CONSTRUCTION OF SMALLER
TYPES OF WAR VESSELS.

Washington, Dec. IA re-
quest that President Harding seek
to broaden the scSe of the naval
limitation agreement, so as to in
clude a limitation on construction
of smaller types of war vessels and
on military and naval aircraft, is
included in the annual naval bill as
reported today by the house appro-
priations committee. z.
Under the bill as brought in the
house the president would be ask
ed to open negotiations with Great
Britain, France Italy and Japan for
an agreement which would limit
future building Of all surface and
submersible types of warcraft hav-
ing tonnage of 10000 or less and
on all classes of army and navy air.
craft.
In its report the committee point
ed out that the arms conference did
not limit the number Of war YesseA
and added that information had
reached congress that "aready
large programs are planned of YES
sells up to the maximum size per.
mitted under the agreement and
that new and large types Of sub
surface craft have begun to put in
appearance.
"In other words" the report con-
tinued, Competition is on again in
the same direction to which unrati-
fled agreements does not extend
and if it be allowed to go uncheck-
ed the purse strings again must be
relaxed and this government, like
all others, will be constrained to
launch upon a new program to the
extent necessary to keep us at least
abreast of any of the other pow
ers."
For completion of 16 warships,
permissible under the arms confer
ence treaty, the appropriations
committee proposed to make avail
able during the coming fiscal year a
total of $55,OOO,oOO, or $4,000

RVERPROBLEM
NOT SECTIONAL
NEW ORLEANS REPRESENTA-.
TIVES DECLARE; CITY Is
KEEPER OF MOUTH OF MIS-.
SSISSIPPI-DEMAND FOR AC.
TON.

Washington, Dec. IA broad
er view of the problems of the
Mississippi river and its tributaries
was urged on the house flood con-
troll committee today by citizens of
the lower Mississippi valley, who
declared that they were constantly
being subjected to the hazards of
flood water Notwithstanding. that
their districts had not contributed
"a drop Of water to the swollen
streams.
One after another the witnesses
before the committee insisted that
the problem was one for the nation
as whole. James E. Edmonds Of
New Orleans said years ago the
slogan was "After the Panama
canal, the Mississippi river" but
that the dream had never been
realized. The witness told the COM
mittee of huge acreage Of rich top
soil being carried away by the
river, while at the same time the
country was draining marsh land
and irrigating arid lands to provide
for the fast growing population. At
the same time, they said, an enor-
nous wastage of water resources
and transportation possibilities was
going on. Great sums were being
spent for temporary work which
should go into a permanent pro-
gram, they said, and threats of
floods were stifling investment and
reducing the purchasing powers of
many communities.
The New Orleans delegation took
the view that New Orleans was the
keep of the mouth of the Missis'
sippi' and Mr.. Edmonds said the
problem was how to keep an i'm
mense tool of commerce from be-
coming a destructive force"
