Common garden sage, brewed

Hoover. one of the five rPercbers

it's attention concentrated on Genoa.
He expressed the opinion that the
foreign debtors would be influenced
in their settlement Of the debt TO
America by the outcome o. the
Genoa conference.
The American commission has
done no more than prepare tentative
plans for funding of the foreign
debts, it was said. While Great
Britain already has signified her
willingness to enter negotiations
with the United States, t was ex-
planned that this was merely a pre-

Department felt after conferences
with British Ambassador Geddes
that it would not be possible for the
governments abroad to reduce the
debts to a definite basis NJ payment

Secretary Hoover said )duy that
the principal economic advisers of

ALAMEDA NAVAL
BASE PROPOSAL
To Be DELAYED
Congressional Action to Be
Withheld for At Least
Two Years.
By WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON,
international News Service.

Congressional approval of the
$100, 0,000,0 900 naval base project at
Alameda, Cal, doomed to defeat
in the pending naval appropriation
bill. will be withheld for at least
two years, according to opinions ex-
pressed today by majority Of the
Senate Naval Appropriation Com
mittee.
The project, earnestly advocated
by naval authorities, was to be held
up because of the signing of the
naval limitation and four-power
Pacific treaties at the Washington
conference. The committee, 1t was
said, will reject the proposal due
to the Administrators desire not
to conflict with the spirit of the
two treaties and to conserve ma
tional expenditures at this time.
Approval of the project in this
years appropriation bill will be lost
through a technicality which will
likewise defeat the proposals to
erect an air base at Sand Point,
Wash, and a destroyer base at San
Diego, Cal. The air base. II was
indicated, may yet be established
through separate legislation. The
technicality involved a point of
order that the projects were new
legislation" which is forbidden under
Senate rules from inclusion in
appropriation bills.
The declaration of Admiral Robert
r. Coontz, chief of naval operations,
that the navy would lose Alameda"
unless an appropriation were made
prior to January /, 1924, carried
great weight with the committee.
1t was indicated that the commit
tee would give the proposal careful
consideration prior to that time, and
II naval conditions were not materi.
ally changed the possibility of favor
able action would be greatly en-
hanced.

SENATE PLANS
INQUIRY into
SUBMARINES
House Ignored Money for Un-
dersea Craft in Budget.
Experts to Testify.
BY international News Service.

Failure Of the House to make any
provisions for submarine develop
ment in the 1929 Navy supply blIi
is being given serious consideration
by the Senate Appropriations Com
mittee, and 1t was learned today that
tho committee intends to inquire fully
into the submarine situation.
Naval experts probably will be
called before the committee to tell
what floating equipment is needed to
round out the treaty navy" of eight
cen battleships. and how many OF
the Navy's present boats are Tit for
service and how many are obsolete
or dangerous.
The committee is expected to work
out definite program of submarine
ships needed for defense Of the coast
lines, the Panama canal and the in
sular possessions. Testimony before
the House committee. brought out
the fact that many of the navy's
submarines were inferior, unreliable.
and that some were totally made
quate for the national defense.
While Secretary of the Nayv Den
by entertains little hope of getting
an authorization from the present
Congress for an extensive building
program, naval officials today ex.
pressed the belief that, a definite sub
marine program would be worked
out and a start made toward carry.
ing II to completion.
Attacks are expected in the SEN
ate from "pacifists," who will Use
the Root resolution OF the WaEhinR-
ton conference as a basis for their
arguments against the acquisition
OF a big undersea fleet. II will be
pointed out, however, by those who
are in accord with the views OF naval
officials that the Root resolution
was aimed entirely at the abuse of
the submarine, and that Il did not
limit the construction of submarines.
