PRESIDENT ASKS
FOR INFORMATION
NOT EXPECTED TO ACTUALLY
SCRAP VESSELS, HOWEVER,
UNTIL TREATIES ARE RATI-
FlIED-WlLL SUSPEND ALL
WORK

Washington, Feb. 4.-Prepara1
tory to suspension of work on the
American capital ships to be scrap
ped under the naval treaty, Presi-
dent Harding has asked Secretary
DENLY to provide him Immediately
with full information as to the
status of the ships under construc-
ton.
|. Although the president does not
expect to take an affirmative step
towards scrapping the ships until
all the powers have ratified the
treaty, it is probable that there
may be a suspension of work on all
of the proposed vessels within a
few days.. =
It was said at the White House
today that Mr.. Harding expected
to submit the naval agreement and
the other treaties Of the arms con-
ference to the senate within very
few days after they are signed. He
has not decided whether to take
them to the capitol in person.
Plans of the navy department so
far as known are for suspension Of
construction work on those ships to
be scrapped under the naval limi.
tation treaty pending ratification
of the treaty. Contracts for the
building of the vessels would not
be cancelled, it was explained, un-
til the limitation pace became ef-
fective.
Included in the ships under con-
struction and not to be completed
under the treaty are the six 10000
ton battleships and four of the six
battle cruisers. One ship of the
West Virginia class, now virtually
completed also is to be destroyed
as a fighting unit, although this will
not be done until the limitations
treaty is in effect.
Two of the six battle cruisers are
to be converted into airplane car
riers, a provision to that effect hav-
ing been made in the treaty in the
separate item authorizing the re-
tention of not more than two YES
sells of $4,000 tons each for the
purpose.

WANG EXPRESSES
REGRET Of CHINA
OVER FAILURE OF JAPAN TO
RENOUNCE CLAIMS-FOR
EASTERN COMMITTEE IN
SESSION AT ARMS CONFER
ENCE FOR LAST TIME

Washington, Feb. 4.-Formal re-
gret that Japan has failed to re-
nounce all claims against China
based upon the 1915 treaty and
the opinion of the Chinese delega-
ton that this treaty and the cor
respondence which led to it Should
form the subject of impartial ex-
animation with a view to their alb
rogation," was expressed today by
Chief. Justice Chung Hui Wang of
the Chinese delegation at the final
meeting Of the Far Eastern COM
mittee. e,
DR.. Wang's address was in reply
to the statement :: yesterday of
Baron shidehara, for ;. Japan, an
nouncing the Withdrawal of Group
Of the treaty and other clauses OBJ
jected to particularly by China.
The official communique Of the
meeting, issued tonight, quoted DIR.
Wang as declaring that the entire
covenant should be abrogated be-
cause it was forced on China, it
violated treaties between China
and other powers aud was 'incon-
sistent with principles relating to
China and the conference"
Secretary Hughes followed the
Chinese delegate with a statement
of the position Of the United
States. He read into the record the
note sent to the Chinese and Japa-
nese governments May 13, 1915,
stating that "the United States
can not recognize any agreement
or undertaking which may be en-.
tered into between China and
Japan impairing the treaty rights
of the United States and its citi-
zens in China, the political or ter
ritorial integrity of the republic Of
China, or the international policy
relative to China commonly known
as the open door policy"
'This statement was in accord
with the historic policy Of the Uni
ted States in its relation to China" "
Mr.. Hughes continued, "and its
position as thus stated had been
and still is consistently maintain
ed"
The SECRETARY then expressed the
qualification of the United States
over .the settlement of the Shan
tung controversy to the mutual sat-
isfaction of the two parties and
over the definite withdrawal of
group 5 of the 1915 treaty which
he said he had been an occasion
for considerable apprehension alike
on the part of China and of foreign
nations, who felt that refusal of
these demands could not but pre-
JUDGE the principles of the integri-
ty of China and of the open door"

REAL ECONOMY
'S'as e.
SADLY LACKING
BILLS MUST BE PAID-REPRE.
SENTATIVES FROM SOUTH
CAROLINA DISCUSSES FIG
URES QUOTED BY HARDING
AND DAWES

Washington, Feb. 5.-Declara-
ton that the economies which Pres
ident Harding and Director Dawes
of. the Budget announced yesterday
at the second business meeting Of
the government were largely of a
paper" variety was made today
by Representative Bynes,. of
South Carolina, a Democratic men,
Der Of the House appropriations
committee who, in a formal state
ment, voiced the "fear" that Mr..
Harding had been SO absorbed in
other matters that he was not con-
vorsant with the existing situa-
ton" in government finances.
According to the press" Mr..
Byrnes' statement said, "a direct
saving Of s32,oOO,oOO and an indir-
ect saving of more than $1O4,oO0,-
900 had been accomplished in less
than six months. The fact is that
against this alleged saving, the
President, at the instance of the
Budget Bureau, has recently sub
mitted requests for additional ap-
preparations as Deficiencies,
amounting to s1s9FGS,2Ss: and
within few days the congress will
commence consideration Of anoth-
or deficiency bill to take care Of
this shortage in funds. This
amount is in addition to the urgent
deficiency bill appropriating $685.
277,443. If the s1s0,704,2s6 now
asked by the President is granted,
it will make the total deficiencies
to date s936,537,953.
"I rejoice that the President re-
iterated his opposition to deficien-
cies because I hesitate to think
what amount would be requested
if he were not opposed to deficien-
cies." ...
Representatives Byrnes said that
if the amounts mentioned had been
saved the treasury should know it..
He declared that no such showing,
however, had been made, and add
ed:
81 fear the reason why it is not
done is that the alleged savings in
most instances consist only in the
postponement of actual expendi-
tures until the next fiscal year."
Mr.. Byrnes declared that the
supplemental estimates for the next
fiscal year amounting to $S9,0S3,-
22O added to the total amount re-
quosted for the fiscal year 1928
would make that total $109,296,-
365 more than the amount appro-
priated for the current fiscal year.

HOUSE AGREES
TO SENATE BILE
REFUNDING NEGOTIATIONS MAY
NOW BE OPENED-PRESIDENTl
EXPECTED TO APPROVE THE
MEASURE WITHOUT PRESSING
OBJECTIONS TO CHANGES.

Washington, Feb. 4.-Congress
finally cleared the way today for the
opening of negotiations looking to
the refunding of the $11, ,000,-
900 foreign debt.
The house, by an overwhelming
majority, agreed to the senate amend
ments to the refunding bill and the
measure was sent to the president.
Mr.. Harding is expected to approve
it as he did not press his objections
to the senate changes-after he had
discussed them today, first with
Chairman Fosdney of the house ways
and means committeeman later with
Secretary Mellon who is head of the
commission of five authorized to con-
duct the negotiations with the debt
or nations. :
Appointment OF the other four
commissioners by the executive is
looked for within short time. It
was made known today at the White
House that Mr.. Harding planned to
name two members of the cabinet
and a member each of the senate and
house. There was no indication at
the White House who would be NAM
ed but among thQse mentioned else
where in connection with the appoint
ments were Secretaries Hoover and
Weeks, Senator Watson Nndepend-
ent) and Representative. ,Longworth
of Ohio. .z.!. .-.-.,,,.,l. ,,a:'...aeoe.ss
While plans for conducting the me-
gotiations with the debtor nations
have not yet been formulated, it was
said that they probably would be con-
Quoted both in this country and
abroad. There has been some discus
sion of a general conference of rep
resentatives of the United States and
the principal allied powers to discuss
the whole subject Of the war debts Of
those nations. Those favoring this
plan have argued that it was not to
be expected that the debts owed the
United States could be refunded
without reference to the debts owed
among the allied powers themselves.
In this connection it has been
pointed out that Great Britain ad-
vanced to its dominions and allies, in
cluding France and Italy, approxi-
mately ss,5OO,OOO,OO while France
loaned nearly $4,000, 100000, to it's
allies, principally Russia and Italy.
AS. finally enacted the debt re-
funding bill was unsatisfactory both
TO- the administration and Republican
leaders of the house but it was said
that objections to it were not pressed
because of the delay that would be
involved in sending it to conference
for the ironing out of differences be-
tween the two houses.
Chief objection centered on the
senate amendment requiring that the
refunded obligations mature not lat
er than June Is, 1947, and that the
minimum interest rate be 4 IA per
cent. Both the president and Secre-
tary Mellon were reported as pre-
ferring a free hand for the commits
sions to the life of the bonds and the
,4oraet rofo

WAYS AND MEANS
NOW CONSIDERED
FINANCING OF BONUS BILL
GETS ATTENTION--PRESIDENT
WILL MEET REPUBLICAN
LEADERS OF HOUSE AND SEN
ATE; EARLY NEXT WEEK.

Washington, Feb. Always and
means of financing the soldiers
bonus will be discussed at a confer
ence between President Harding and
Republican leaders of the house and
senate early next week, it was stated
yesterday at the White House. 1t is
understood that the various sugges-
tions advanced will be canvassed with
a view to determining upon a def
| mite program. ~
"A decision as to method Of raising
the necessary revenue reached in
agreement between the administra-
ton and congressional leaders would
solve, the most difficult problems be-
fore the house committee charged
with drafting the legislation and
would be expected to speed up final
enactment of the measure by remov-.
ing what otherwise might prove sub
jects of serious disagreement between
the house and senate. ~
Members of the ways and means
committee said today that the bill to
be reported to the house, probably
within two weeks, would provide for
beginning the cash payments to the
former service men on January l,
1928. They said this would give time
in which to raise the revenue and
to pass upon the applications for the
cash bonus. -
Reenactment Of the excess profits
tax as method of financing the
bonus was urged before the ways and
means committee by Representatives
Woodruff of Michigan and Brown of
Wisconsin, both Republicans. They
said this was a just tax which would
be more popular than some others.
Otposition'to such a proposal was
voiced BY some of the Republican
members of the committee and in the
coloquy that followed Mr.. Woodruff
declared that the repeal of this tax
was zone of the most reprehensible
acts ever committed by congress.
Both Mr.. Woodruff and Mr.. Brown
opposed any form of sales tax, as
did previous witnesses, including H.
C. Mckenzie of Walton, N. Y, rep
resenting the American Farm Bureau
federation, and Edward F. McGrady,
legislative representative of the
American Federation of Labor.
Mr.. Brown suggested that the
treasury might be able to obtain con-
siderable sums from the sources pro-
posed in the original bonus bill Of
fered by Chairman Fordney, such as
slight increases in income surtaxes
stock dividends and tax of one
fifth of l per cent. on sales of stocks
and bonds.
Representative Nolan Of California
told the committee that there was no
need to levy any additional taxes to
pay the bonus if congress would cut
down the army and navy appropria-
tions. Pointing to the agreement at
the arms conference for naval holi-
day and the scrapping Of many exist
ing ships, Mr.. Nolan declared that
great saving could be made in the
cost of the naval establishment. He
also urged that the army be cut to
100, 900 men.
