GOES. OVER
HEAD Of
LORD.
Appeals to Coolidge and 4
That Fails Case Will BE
Taken to Congress.

Inc Navy department. Is now
forcing upon the Bureau Of the
Budget the severest fight it has
had in its three years of existence.
Gen. Herbert NJ. Lord, director
Of the budget, stands pat upon his
original decision with respect to
the naval estimates for the coming
fiscal year. The navy is deter
mined to override General Lord
to wreck his prestige and to abolish
the Budget Bureau Dictatorship"
.if possible.
Appeals to Coolidge.
The Navy Department already has
appealed to President Coolidge over
the head OF General Lord.
II It fails to win its fight at the
White House. it will carry it to
the halls of Congress.
Il has started q propaganda cam
paign to the effect that the 5-5-s-
naval ratio established by the Wash
ington conference for the limita-
ton Of armament is imperiled.
The Navy asserts that its build.
ing program is necessary to main
tain the American fleet on parity
with the British fleet. that il Cen
eraI Lord has his way our power
on the sea win fall below the point
specified by the Washington con-
ference.
Attitude Lord Takes. -.
General Lord takes the position
that Congress fixes the naval
building program and that he il in
duty bound to consider the naval
estimates in the light of the naval
policy which Congress indicated at
it's last session. He does not think
he should assume that Congress
will adopt another program at its
next session.
There is dissatisfaction over the
pruning Of the estimates by the
Budget Bureau in other departments
of the Government, but no open
fight has been undertaken by any
other arm of the service than the
Navy Department. The navy is
firmly convinced that it is being
forced to take a disproportionate
share Of the cuts imposed upon all
the departmental estimates.
At the present time Congressional
sentiment rests overwhelmingly with
, the Budget Bureau in its determine
ton to cut down the Federal ex.
penditures to the lowest possible
point.
Virtually all Of the opposition on
Capitol Hill that was visible at the
time the budget law was passed in
1921 has disappeared. Without ex-
ception the appropriations commit.
tees Of both the House and the Sen.
ate are standing by the Budget Bu-
reau.
Waterways Bill Expected.
As matter Of fact, any propa.
ganda looking to the abolition Of the
Budget Bureau is not likely to make
any Roadway in Congress. There IS
chance that a public buildings bill
may be passed at the coming session
"a contingency not included in the
present budget program.
It is also recalled that a large
Item for river and harbor improve
ments was included in the current
army appropriation bill despite the
protest OF the Budget Bureau.
There have been numerous cases
IN which the reductions decreed by
the Budget Bureau have been modi-
fled in Congress.
The fight of the navy for the res
toration Of items totaling more than
$40, 100000 in its estimates, however,
would, II successful, go far toward
undermining the authority and the
prestige which the Budget Bureau
now enjoys in the Federal service-

CALEXICO
Wait Franchise
to Start Work
on New Railroad

CALEXTCO, Jan. 11.-According
to H.. II. Clark, manager of the Colo
RADIO River Land Company, all is in
readiness to start work on the new
railroad within few hours after
the official franchise has been re-
ceived from Mexico City.
The franchise has been officially
signed in that city by President
Obregon, according to telegram
received from |. p. Suarez, attorney
for the Colorado River Land Com
pany, and it is only a question of
days until it should be received in
this city.
The plans of the Southern Pacific,
Who in the past two months has been
busy surveying the route, is to build
the road from Mexicali to La Bomba
on the Gulf of California, to provide
a water outlet for the many pro-
duets of this section of the country.
Governor Jose |. Lugo has had no
small part in helping the movement
along, and feels that untold devel-
opment will follow to his district,
the northern part of Lower Califor-
MIA, as well as providing distribution
to all parts of Mexico without being
bonded through the United States.
During the delay ensuing upon the
first announcement of the building
of the new rail route, many rumors
have been spread in which it was
asserted that the Southern Pacific
would not build the line, and others
stating that there would be a com
peting line, constructed by Governor
Lugo under orders from and with
cash supplied by the federal govern
ment.
These rumors have been definitely
set at rest, however, by Governor
Lugo, who, during the past week,
stated the plan which he had
in mind for the building of a rail
route to San Felipe, and asserted
positively that, come what may, a
rail line would be built, either by
the federal government, or by some
railway company.
