WAR PHANTOM IS

Big Navy" Followers Declare Cut TO
67,o00 Men Would Place America

tUniteu Press starr correspondent
Washington. April 1.-THE phan'
tom OF future war with Japan or
Great Britain was conjured up in
the house today by members fighting
the appropriation bill slashing the
navy to $1,000 men.
That such reduction would
Junk" the navy, relegating America
to the position OF ae''third class" sea
power and leaving her unable to sue
cessfully defend herself in event of
attack on either coast was the argu.
ment big navy advocates attempted
TO drive home in the second day
OF debate on the bill.
There were signs that the forces
supporting the reduction were los.
ing strength. Members from the At
lantlc and Pacific seaboards leading
the movement for navy of $4,000
men, were claiming that congress
men from many finland states werc
coming over to their side. Polls OF
the Ohio and Missouri delegations,
1t was said, showed that the mem
bers from those states would vote
two to one for the higher figure.
Representative Rogers, republic
can, Massachusetts,. said he had
made a pretty thorough" canvass
of the house and was certain the
$4,000 figure would be adopted.
However, Representative Mondell,
republican leader, and Representa-
tive Kelley, Michigan, chairman of
the subcommittee on appropriations
in charge of the navy bill on the
floor, both declared they were more,
confident than ever" that the meas
ure would pass the house.

Two points made by Lloyd George
nj the opening session were:
1. He told the conference that 4
delegates Of any country docking at
the Russians as he spoke) did not
accept the conditions laid down at
Cannes for the present conference,
they might just as well go home.
2. He interviewed in dispute be-
tween Tehitcherin, leader of the So
Wet delegation, and Barthou, head
of the French and by his skill al
debate forced the Russians to back
down and gracefully agree to abide
by the will of the conference.
Referring to this last maneuver,
which was the feature OF the con.
ferences opening session, Barthou
told the United Press:
I'VE French are entirely satisfied
with the turn Of events, We knew
that a first days discussion was
perfectly inevitable"
He referred to the demand of
Tchitcherin that limitations of ar
maments be discussed at Genoa and
that this conference be considered
but the first of great series of
universal conferences"

which opened at st Georges palace
yesterday, its impetus towards sue
cess.
The British prime minister was ac,

the man who hal Strengthened out
the unwieldy conference, with its
diversity of languages and its diver.

way.
France, opposed to much of that
Lloyd George proposed for Genoa
in the beginning, is now praising
Lloyd George ami his handling Of
the opening session.
Less dramatic taan was Secretary
Hughes at Washington, the little
Welshman nevertheless dominated
the conference with master strokes
of diplomacy at the needed moments.
