Governor General Wood
Saws Economies Necessary

Manila. P. l.. June 4.-(By A. P.)
In a letter to secretaries of the in
sular government departments, Goy-
crnor General Wood today empha-
sized the necessity for further
economies in order to avoid de-
ficit in the treasury. Governor
Woods letter said:
Judging from the first five
months of the present year, it is ap-
parent that available revenues will
barely meet the demands Of the
budget. Unless there is a marked
improvement, they may not do so
and we will be confronted by a de-
ficit rather than a surplus. I desire
to bring administration of the depart
ments down to the most economical
basis consistent with efficient per-
Torrance of absolutely necessary

-poration in Letter
to Senator.
By GEORGE F. AUTHIER.


Warrington Correspondent Omaha Bee.
Washington, June 4. - Especial
Telegram. )-Bernard M. Baruch,
former chairman. of the war indus
tries board, came to the rescue OF
farmers cooperative legislation to-
day in answer to recent statements
made by Judge, F. H. Gary of the
United States Steel corporation.
criticizing legislation authorizing this
form Of cooperation. =.
The defense OF the legislation is
contained in a letter addressed to
Senator Arthur H. Capper of Kan
sas and made public here tonight. 1t
refers to the speech recently made by
Judge Gary at the meeting of the
Iron and Steel institute iii New
York.
Mr.. Baruch calls attention to the
fact that The farmer aims to do by
cooperation what the manulactur-
ing industries do through corpora
tons. He denies the possibility Of
cooperation resulting in holdup
Of the public, because it is impossible,
he says, to limit production as manu-
facturers do. In part, Mr.. Baruch
says:
Equal Opportunity Admitted
1T is admitted by all that there
should be that equal opportunity for
the treatment of all pursuits, which
he Judge Gary) contends for. The
of agricultural co-opera-
tlono does no more than attempt to
put the 100000 of scattered and
competitively selling farmers on all
equal footing with the largely con-
solidated buyers OF their products,
and with industry generally.
practically everything that these
OF farmers sell is sold in
competition, one with the other,
comparatively small num-
Der of buyers, to the millions OF con-
sumers, whereas, everything they
buy is sold to them by relatively
small number of sellers.
The farmers have not asked for
any special privilege. nor has it been
accorded to them. Certain laws have
been passed, and others sought, to
enable them to do in their way-co-
operation-what other producers. the
makers of steel, for emaple, do by
means of great corporations. The
purposes of cooperation on the one
hand and corporations on the other
are the same-economy, efficiency
and a degree OF certainty of adequate
returns for capital and enterprise. 1t

Advice Of Morgan to Reduce
Repsrations Bill Makes
Revision Of Treaty
Necessary.
Deadlock Is Expected
Copyright isss.

Paris, June A revision OF the
treaty OF Versailles is being fought
over the week end in the four great
est chaneellories Of Europe and il
will come up at a special meeting OF
the reparations commission next
Tuesday.
The advice given by J. P. Morgan
10 the allied governments yesterday
to reduce the $4,000, 100000 gold
marks (S53,000. .000,00O) reparations
bill and also reduce the allied forces
on the Rhine for economy, means the
revision Of two essential themes OF
the Versailles treaty. The allied gov
ernmcnts have decided to reply to
the bankers through their reparations
delegates who will meet on Tuesday.
II will be a momentous day in the
history of Europe.
Deadlock Expected.
The British and Italian govern.
ments will surely vote in the affirm
ative and the French and Belgian
governments in the negative. The
allied reply to the bankers will mean
an allied deadlock.
In the face of the allied deadlock
which will hold up the final settle.
ment OF the reparations problem and
consequently the economic future Of
all Europe. the potential authority OF
America in the question is today
greatly concerning the allied govern-
ments, particularly the French.
An official American delegate on
the reparations commission would
constitute the fifth member and the
controlling vote, the other four being
equally divided between the French
and British groups.
Moratorium Possible.
The commission does not have
the authority to reduce the repara-
tions bill. but under the Versailles
treaty a majority vote of the COM
mission can, before 1926. allow Ger
many moratorium until the end of
1880 Only an American vote is
necessary to give Germany COM
plete or partial moratorium.
The refusal of the French to ac-e,
cept a reduction of the reparations.
which Premier Poincare emphasized
in the chamber of deputies yester-
day, will limit the bankers to buy
ing a small loan for Germany i'll
stead OF revision of the entire repara-
tions problem -. s.s4,.
The French government is entire
Iy willing to reduce the German
reparations bill if its war debts are
and the, British government
is even more willing. On this basis
they can send common reply to
the bankers. thus again throwing on
America the entire burden and
thwarting European reconstruction.

Of Sea Power

ing War.
BY A. D. LASKER.
ARTICLE 2.

The first act passed by the Ameri-
can congress was one that made the
tariffs lower on goods when ship
ped in American bottoms than when
shipped under foreign flags. This
was done to encourage American
shipping.
From the time OF the union OF our
original Is coastal states until the
civil war one of the leading industries
in America was shipping. Through
our superior ability in the construc-
ton OF ships and the proximity OF
our raw materials for wooden ships
(Which were the only ships OF those
days. Americas sea annals of that
period constitute proud page in the
history OF the republic. Our clipper
fleet, made up of the fastest sailing
ships, the world ever knew, remain i'm
mortally sung in the words OF our
poets.
By 1928, through treaties, the pol
icy of discrimination, preferential
tariffs and similar legislation came
to an end. Today the United States
has something over 100 commercial
treaties forbidding such practices.
Sea Power at Its Height.
Our sea power, as it relates to the
merchant marine, reached its height
at the time of the civil war in 1861.
BY the close of that war we had lost
over a million gross tons OF the five
and one-half million gross tons with
which we entered the war II
Great Britain's, close connection
with the south, because OF its need
OF cotton. is OF coure a historical fact.
Our civil war weakened Americas
sea competition and the opportunity
thus created was eagerly seized by
Great Britain. We cannot quarrel
with Britain for her attitude; it was,
from her national standpoint, prop
er one. But the fact remains that
while the civil war welded the United
States together on land, it marked
Americas practical disappearance
from the seas for over half century.
However, there were several major
factors that contributed to Our will
ingness to neglect our merchant ma
rine after the close OF the civil war.
Among these was the development
OF our rich central and far west,
which had really begun with the find
ing Of gold in California in l848.
Capital Turns From Sea.
Not only was the adventuresome
youth lured west of the Alleghenies,
but capital found such better oppor-
tunity for profit in the development
of our rich empire than in the mari
time fields that, both from the stand
point OF men and money, America
turned from the coast to inland de-
velopment.
At the same time the iron ship was
perfected. In those days America
was not in a position to build iron
ships in competition with Great Bri-
tain, where coal and iron ore lay
practically at seaboard, where the
ships were constructed. We had not
