BORAH SCENTS A
COMPETITION IN
NAVY BUILDING
Tells Senate That Present
Indications Are That Old
time International Rivalry
Will Be Resumed

Washington, Dec. 22.--EXtension
Of naval disarmament among
world powers was discussed in the
senate for several hours today but
without action and a virtual ad-
iournment was taken over Christ
mas. A brief session will be held
tomorrow under gentlemen
agreement" reached yesterday to
meet and adjourn until Wednes-
day.
The calling OF an international
conference to curtail construction
of naval vessels of less than 10000
tons and aircraft not covered by
the Washington armament con-
ference agreement was urged by
Senator Borah, republican of Ida
no. He deferred discussion, how
ever, of his amendment to the ma
val appropriation bill, requesting
the president to call an iuterna-
tional conference. to deal with
economical problems and with
land and sea armaments.
Senator Borah, declaring a new
naval building race appeared i'm
minent, cited the heavy eXpendi-
lures and taxes Of this and other
countries and deplored any in
crease through construction of ar
maments.
Senator Poindexter in charge Of
the naval bill, which was given
temporary right OF way over the
administration shipping bill, de-
clared the provision in the bill. as
passed by the house, proposing a
conference on limitation of
small vessels and aircraft
and designed to correct the
condition pointed out by SEN
ator Borah. He agreed the COM
petition was reported between ma
val powers in armaments not COW
cred by the recent arms CONFER
ence naval limitation treaty.
Senators PoindeXter and Stanley,
democrat Of Kentucky, declared
tax reduction would not
be brought about even by abolish
ing the navy. Senator Stanley SAID
the insistent demand for lower
taxes might be met in part by
abolishing useless government
AMI boards.

FREIGHT RATES
ARE REDUCED Y
PER CENT IN z
Western Railways Say That
Reductions Are Out of
Proportion With Prices of
Other Things

Chicago, Dec. 22.-Reductions Of
railroad freight rates have aver
aged IL per cent within the last
year and are costing railroads $47t,-
100000 annually, the western rail-
ways committee ON public relations
said in a statement tonight pro-
testing against agitation for fur
ther reductions. Additional reduc-
tions would constitute n menace
to the reviving prosperity of the
country" the statement made by
S. NJ. Felton, chairman, said.
While railway rates and earnings
have been reduced, the prices of
other commodities have advanced,
the statement said. Total freight
earnings of the country's roads for
September alone declined S47,773,-
600 through the rate reductions.
Asserting the people in western
territory and particularly farmers.
were making the loudest clamor
for lower rates, the statement said
that largest reductions have been
made in western territory because
rates on grain, grain products and
hay Were reduced more in propor-
tion. On western lines. the state
ment continued the ayerage rate
of reduction from September, 1921,
to September, 1922, was 10 per
cent, western railways in Septen-
ber earning s22,000,0O less than
they would if the reductions had
not been made. Because Of rate
reductions, earnings of western
lines have been reduced at an an
nual rate of about S265, 100000, the
statement said
The result II the reduction in
railroad freight mates while prices
of other COMMODITIES advanced, has
been such that the. average freight
rate per ton per mile for the coun-
try is only 54 per cent higher than
in 1913. the statemant continued,
adding that the average wholesale
price of all comnodities other than
farm products is 66 per cent high
er. The averageI price of farm
products as compared with 1913 Is
now higher than the average rate
or western railways. the average
per ton per mile for western
roads in September being 1876 per
cent higher than in 1913, while the
average price Of farm products for
November was 43 per cent higher
than for 1913, according to. the
statement.
The railroads are not only suf-
fering from rate reduction, but
from increases in the prices of ma
terial they must buy, the statement
said, explaining metal products in
creased 20 per cent in the last year,
coal raised 40 per cent since the
strike and lumber has increased
from SO TO more than so per cent.

FRANCE FAVORS
LITIGATION
OF NAVY PACT
PoinCare Places the Future
of His Administration Up
on the Issue of Washing
ton Agreement
HAS SUPPORT OF
BRAND AND OTHERS


Paris, Dec. 22.-Thc French
government today committed itself
through a recommendation made
to the foreign affairs commits
sion. of tho chamber of deputies by
Premier Poincare, to stand or fall
on the question Of ratification Of
the Washington naval agreement.
Aristide BRAND former premier,
seconded the stand of NJ. Poincare
on the question, which also en-
braCed the four power treaty as
amended in the United States sem
ate by Senator Brandegee Of Con-
necticut. The premier declared
that the reservation OF Mr.. Bran
degee would in no way "entail mill
itary participation"
That the chamber was practi-
cally agreed upon ratification was
shown when NJ. BRAND, leader of
tho left, and Andre Tardieu, head
of the Clementists, both an
nounced their support of the pre-
mier in his attempt to put the
treaties through.
George Mandel, former chief of
the cabinet under Premier Clemen-
ceau, alone was reluctant. NJ. Sar-
rut, who signed the final docu-
ments in Washington as a member
of the Poincare cabinet, although
appointed by NJ. BRAND, staunchly
advocated ratification.
The governments viewpoint, as
expressed by NJ. Poincare, found a
stern opponent in NJ. Guernier,
who declared France had been put
in the same position as Italy by
the Washington accords, so far as
naval armaments were concerned.
a I'VE must have more ships than
italy" he argued, "becaase we
have more colonies and dong sea-
board"
The commission decided to refer
the matter to q sub-commission.
which will report back immediate-
liz after the New Years recess;
M. Guernier explained TO the
Associated Press. however. that
there was little chance Of the
Washington naval agreements
coming before the chamber for
open discussion before January IS,

ters to attend to, including the

What Part United States
WIFI Take in European
Settlement Appears to Be
Still Undecided

Washington, Dec. % (by the AS
sociated Press The situation rel
ative to extension of American aid
toward a European reparations set
tlement continued today to present
a badly beclouded picture, on
which little light was thrown from
any quarter.
American officials reiterated
their denials of government back
ing at the present stage for the
American commission plan spon-
sored by commercial leaders, and
of various published statements re-
garding the direction in which
American official opinion was
tending,
But there was no clear-cut dem
ial that high officials in Washing
ton had discussed the commission
proposal earnestly among them
selves and with others, and no one
attempted to give the impression
that the United States government
would be displeased should the dis
cussions now in progress result in
an agreement.
Neither did any official come
forward to explain the true char
acter of the mysterious movings
behind the scenes of world diplo-
macy to which allusiOn has been
repeatedly made in official outgiv-
ings both in Washington and in
the capitals of Europe.
In all of their negative comment
on the subject, state department
authorities seemed most anxious TO
deny that the government Itself,
despite the lose touch 1t is main
tanning with the situation, was in
any way q party at the present
time to the plan for survey COM
mission, suggested first in this
country by officials Of the Cham
Der of Commerce Of the United
States. was said flatly that the
American government at the pres
ent stage has no connection with
the commission plan, which con-
templates creation ORR buGy~of ex-
perts to inquire into the ability of
Germany TO pay reparations.
Furthermore, one official lndi-
Gated that IL the commission plan
ever came to the point where
proposal for its acceptance could
be made through diplomatic chan
nels, the United States would not
be the proper power tc make that
proposal 1t was pointed out that
treaty rights are involved in the
reparations difference and that no
formal offer to mediate would be
in place from any government eH-
cept in the solicitation of the sov
ernn1ents involved in the COntrO-
versy.
