.150 DESTROYERS
DECOMM|SS|ONED'
THOSE OF PACIFIC FLEET TO
co TO SAN DIEGO-ATLANTIC
NAVY YARD COST IN CHAR
LESION TOO HIGH

Washington, March 23.-The 68
destroyers of the Pacific fleet order
ed out of commission by June 80,
will be stored at the destroyer base,
San Diego, Calf, while the 81 ode
commissioned" destroyers of the At
lantic fleet will go to the Philadelphia
navy yard, under orders approved
today by Secretary Denby.
The plan for disposition Of the
"decommissioned" destroyers were
worked out by special naval board
headed by Captain Kalbfus which
considered that the "ideal plan"
would have been to put the entire
$50 vessels at San Diego. This was
not found possible, however, because
of the fuel cost involved in moving
the Atlantic destroyers to the Paci-
fc.
Orders for decommissioning the
ships direct that those in the Pacific
be placed under the jurisdiction of
the commander in chief of the Pa
cifc feet while special officer with
the rank of captain will be in charge
Of those at the Philadelphia yard.
Ammunition and removable equip
ment for each shipment is to be stor-
ed ashore, tagged to show from which
ship it came, and so disposed that all
can be quickly replaced on that yes
sel if needed.
In that connection, the report Of
:he board said:
"The board is greatly impressed
with the value of these vessels both
from a military as we'll as a finan-
:ial standpoint and is fully alive to
The necessity Of thorough and eff
cient measures in decommissioning
them and for their care and preser-
walton while out Of commission.
"The board has accordingly been
guided by that realization that when
needed for national defense they will
be requested at short notice and must
be in such condition that they can be
made ready for service at 'once." .
The suggestion that all destroyers
oe sent to San Diego was said by the.
board to be the "ideal plan" because
here were no disadvantages at that
port either of climate or exposure to
torms. A second proposal to place
he Atlantic destroyers out of COM
mission at the Charleston, g. G"
navy yard, also was considered but
rejected because of the higher cost OF
:af,ng for them at that place than at
Philadelphia.

DEBATE CONCLUDED
ON PACIFIC TREATY
PLANS MADE FOR FINAL VOTE
TODAY WITH LEADERS
AGREEING THAT RATlFICA-
TON SEEMS CERTAIN-voTE
THREE TO TEN

Washington, March 23.-The SEN
ate concluded tonight its long debate
on the four power Pacific treaty and
prepared for it's final vote tomorrow
with leaders on both sides private
ly agreeing that ratification by q
narrow margin seemed certain.
A display of oratorical fireworks,
scarcely surpassed in spectacular ef-
fet even during the Versailles treaty
fight, brought the debate to an end.
Both opponents and supporters Of
the pact Summed up their four
weeks of argument in a running
cross fire of discussion that lasted all
day and until late at night but ap-
parently did not change vote.
Estimates of the outcome made
tonight by senators placed the rati-
foation majority at from three to
ten votes.
A dozen or more reservations and
amendments also must be voted on
tomorrow but the administration
managers are confident of defeat of
all of them except the "no alliance"
declaration framed by the foreign
relations committee and accepted by
President Harding A final effort to
secure administration acceptance of
a second reservation extending the
privileges Of the treaty to outside
powers failed during the day.
Making their last stand, the
treaty's opponents marshalled all
their oft-repeated arguments
against the four power arrangement
as an alliance and injected several
new issues that caused momentary
sensations and led to bitter ex-
changes. A recent speech by Trotsky
serving notice that the new inter-
national group should not forget
the red army of Russia was quoted
by Senator Borah (Republican) of
Idaho.
Allegations that the pastor who
opened the arms conference with
prayer was compelled to omit the
name of Christ were thrown into
the debate by Senators Reed Demo
craft of Missouri, Hitchcock Demo
craft of Nebraska and others.
In an arraignment of the treaty
as a return to the old balance Of
power system, Senator Glass Demo
c,at) of Virginia declared it was a
step toward war instead of peace.
For the treaty supporters Sena-
tors Lenroot (Repuolican) of Wis
consin, Kellogg (Republican) of
Minnesota and others insisted that
no alliance was proposed and that
amity in the Pacific for many years
to come would be insured by accep-
tance of the treaty. They argued
that the opposition had misrepresent-
ed the terms Of the treaty and the
situation it would create, and assert
ed that rejection Of the four power
plan would jeopardize the whole
program of the arms conference.

BANKERS FAVOR U. s. ATTENDANCE
 AT CONE FERENCE
By FRANK CHARLTON.

New York, Jan 1S-A belief was expressed in Wall Street banking circles today that the United States will participate actively in the pro- posed International Economic Con- ference opening at Genoa on March 8, and that the American delegates will raise the question of payment of international war debts owing to this country.
 There is every possibility that the Washington con ference will have ended before the first of March the American government probably would be opposed to participation in two conferences at the same time be- cause of the opportunity it would give for deals and barraining.
 So far no information has been given out through official channels whether or mot this country would accept the invitation to the Genoa conference. It is known. however, that bankers have advised acceptance on the ground that this country-the most prosperous in the world-shou1d lend it's presence to any great move rlent for the economic reconstruc- tion of the world.
 If the State Department should accept the next question is whether this country would send delegation to take a decisive part in the pro. ceedings or whether it would send merely an official observer, as was done at the last meetine. of the Inter- allied Supreme Council at Cannes when George Harvey. American Ann bassador to England. represented A erica
