NAVAL ACTION
BY PRESIDENT
Viewpoint Defined as Looking
to Navy Adequate for
Defense of Country

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-Naval
building by the nations or the -. i.
on competitive basis promises little
hope for the future in the opinion
of President Coolidge.
With respect to the American
navy, the administration viewpoint
was again defined today as looking
toward a navy adequate for the de-
fense of the country without respect
to steps taken by other nations.
These views as expressed at the
White House were supplemented by
| the statement that the President re-
CARDS as unnecessary any congress-
ional inquiry into the state of the
nations navy.
Simultaneous with the statement
of the Presidents view the senate
naval committee postponed action on
the resolution of Senator King,
Democrat, Utah, for an inquiry into
the status of the navy.
Chairman Hale announced a sub
stitute plan" had been presented to
the committee but decAned ~
plain wherein it would differ from
the investigation sought by the Utah
senator who charged the navy was
not being maintained at its treaty
ratio.
The proposal has been made in
congress that an Inquiry should be
undertaken into the status of the
navy before appropriation of addi-
tional funds but Mr.. Coolidge re-
CARDS the Investigations and hear
ings held annually in connection
with the naval appropriation bill as
a thoroughgoing inuqiry into the
state of the naval establishment.
Furthermore, he feels that the
naval general stair and the secre-
tary of the navy continually are at
work. examining. the condition of the
naval establishment and their find
irgs are at the disposal at all times
of congress.
Although the question of gun
elevation on capital ships has again
come to the fore through consider
alton of pending legislation, Mr.
Coolidge does not regard that as an
important factor in the present dis
cussion of the national defense. He
has not examined the proposal thor
oughly but inasmuch as five of the
eighteen capital ships are deemed
to need no elevation of guns and five
others are declared by naval officials
10 De comparable in gun range with
the major elements of other navies,
the matter of elevating the guns of
the eight remaining hardly could be
considered as of prime Importance.
another factor to be considered in
the Presidents opinion is the matter
OF expenditure. an appropriate IN of
S6,5OOO.00 having been proposed in
the pending legislation for such
work.

Want City to Give Financial
Support to Organization
in Its Work
$4,000 WAS SUGGESTED
Need for Money Stressed for
Publicity Campaign-Com-
mittee of Whole to Act

Complying with the request of the
Board of Aldermen that a written
request for financial aid be submit
ted to the board. the local Chamber
OF Commerce last might had a
lengthy letter before the board out
lining the purposes of the civic or
ganization and the need of mony for
a publicity campaign which would
be nation wide. The sum of 5000
was suggested by President Leo
Goldberger when he appeared be-
fore the aldermen with Secretary
Statler at the meeting held last week
as the amount needed by the organi-
zation TO properly advertise the city
during the coming year.
The letter to the aldermen which
was referred to the committee OF the
whole for consideration follows:
ITO comply with your request
made at the conference you so kind
ly granted our representatives on the
evening of Friday. December 5, 1924,
a special committee of the Chamber
of Commerce of the city of Perth
Amboy has made study of various
ways and means whereby eontinu-
Gus method of cooperation may be
established between your board and
the Chamber of Commerce; looking
to the general welfare and prosperity
of the city as a whole, and desires
to submit for your consideration cer-
tain facts and figures as follows:
Perth Amboy has at the present
time a population estimated at 49,
600, possessing real and personal
property with a net taxable valua-
ton for the current year of $39,-
807, ,63S. Thsrefore, making certain
allowances for the sake of conven-
ience. Perth Amboy might be likened
to big private corporation with a
gross capital of $40,000,000, in
which the citizens are the stock
holders with an average interest of
about $1,000 each. Considered In
this light it would appear to be only
the application of wisdom and proper
forethought on the part of every one
to not only conserve the investment
but to adopt every reasonable meth
Cd to increase its value.
Perth Amboy having advantages
of exceptional value as location for
manufacturing purposes, due to its
varied transportation facilities and
proximity to important markets, ii
follows that nothing would more GER
tainly enhance the industrial de-
velopment of this community, and
consequently the prosperity of its
itizen-stockholders. than to make
those advantages as widely known as
possible.

Dairy Farming

The best way for farmer to
sell dairy products is to a cream
cry, advises ]. P. Lancaster,
chief of the dairy division at
Clemson college, there being no
market for whole milk in the
cities.
Among the advantages to the
farmer from dairying he points
out the following:
l. To utilize field crops eco
nomically. The dairy COW uses
to advantage large quantities of
roughages and grasses that are
usually profitable to market in
their bulky form.
2. To insure a regular income
and quick return. There is no
long waiting period with the
dairy cow-she pays as she goes.
The cream and the milk sold
are usually paid for each week
or each month.
3. To utilize labor profitably. !.
By breeding the cows to freshen
8 in the fall, a farmer may pro-
vide profitable employment for
the farm labor during the winter
months.
a. To retain and increase the
richness of land. The soils have
been drained continuously for
many years. They need life such
as can be given only by an
abundance of organic matter.
The dairy COW can assist in re-
storing the fertility of these soils.
5. To utilize lands now unpro-
fitable to cultivate. There are
certain fields on every farm
which cannot be cultivated profit
ably. These lands may be sown
in pasture grasses and a profit
secured from them through the
dairy COW.
6. To secure the bv-products-
calves, hogs, chickens, not to
mention better health and great
er happiness by use of more milk
and butter on the farm. table.
There is a creamery in Sum
ter which will purchase the
dairy farmers milk, giving him
a steady weekly income every
month in the year. Not every
county in Georgia is so blessed.
