TOK|O'S SHIP PLAN
HELD WITHIN LIMIT
Officials Here Say Auxiliary
Craft Are Outside of
Treaty Provisions.

The Japanese navY's announcement
OF building program for auxiliary
craft. contained III Yesterdays dis
patches from Toxic, is believed here
TO be in the nature of a summary of
building projects made public previ-
Dusty.
II is the understanding of the
Washington Government that much
- the construction listed in the Jap
auese announcement has been under
way for months. All of il is in aux
tliary classes, which are not affected
by the Washington treaty limiting
capital ship strength.
The program was adopted at Toxic
before the arms conference and later
was modified in so far as it related
TO capital ships. 1t contemplates
construction of eight first-class
cruisers, three Second-clasS cruisers
ten destroyers and an airplane mother
ship. Officially known as the SIS
plan, the program called for eight
hattleships and eight battle cruisers.
Only two of the battleships were
constructed before the arms confer
ence, while two others under con-
Struction are now being converted TO
airplane carriers, as provided in the
treaty. The rest of the capital ship
program under, the SIS plan has been
strapped.
Six of the eight first-class cruisers
of the original program have been
building for some time. and of the
others two have recently been or
dered assigned to yards for construc-
ton OF the three light cruisers. one
was completed last year, and the other
Two viii be completed this year.

AUTO LISTS TO
BE PREPARED
Not Very Popular With Po-
lice During 1925.

D Although comparatively few of the
1925 lists Of Indiana automobile own
ers were sold to local police officials,
plans are being laid for preparation
Of the 1926 list, as provided by law,
It was announced today by Frederick
%. Schortemeier, secretary of State.
Under the Nejdl law, an appropri-
alton of $4,000 was allowed each
year for preparation Of the lists,
thought then to be needed In proper
enforcement of the State motor laws.
Schortemeier found the appropri-
alton far short of the cost of print
ing such list, so he had the lists
transcribed and mimeographed. In
this way he was able to save ap-
proximately $4,000 of the allowance.
Police, however, did not take to
! the voluminous lists with much en-
thusiasm and most Of them have
been stored in the basement of the
Statehouse, being Of no further use,
now that the 1926 license plates are
being sold.
Schortemeier explained today that,
although the prospects point to
repetition of this years experience,
new lists will be prepared in accord
ance with the law. He said the
same system would be followed in
1925 as during 1925 in preparing the
lists and that an effort would be

United States, and every employee
from the youngest clerk to the

amount ranges from $500 to $4,000,
depending on the employees position
and then lumber of years Of service.
The employees are also given an OPP
portunity to purchase additional in
surance at ka low cost. The policy
is issued by The Travellers Insur-
ance Company, Hartford, Conn.

Answering for the Workers Party,

politics for the workers becomes a
farce. 1t means helping other classes
big, medium and small capital-to
fasten ever tighter their grip over the

the water flowed away before trying
to cross.
Sentiment for a farmer-labor party
exists in Washington county today.
To Comrade Blankenstein would say,
go among the workers, associate with
them, talk with them, stay among
them, suffer with them, works with
them, and then you certainly will be
in position to write, or to speak au-
thoritively of the "sentiments'' and
the pulse" and the political tend
encies" of the working class. That
cannot be done by holding down a
swivel chair daily in Pittsburgh.
What c. E. C. Told Us.
The LaFollette movement, or boom,
was at its height when the G. e. G.
drafted the program Of action, or a
manifesto dealing with the immediate
tasks of the party. Our majority lead
ers, apparently. did not discover what
they now claim humiliation of the
farmer-labor party by the LaFollette
movement, until recently, for in this
program Of action, adopted unanimous
ly by the c. e. c., we find the follow
ling:
"In June, 1922. our party declared
in a manifesto dealing with the ap-
plication Of the united front policy
in the United States, that the problem
Of the united front politically was the
problem Of the formation of a labor
party. Since that time the party has
carried on a consistent united front
campaign with the end in view OF
uniting those workers and farmers
who were ready to break with the
capitalist parties in a mass farmer-la-
Dor party with which the Workers

paign has been the major political
campaign Of our party.

vanced the cause of Independent work.
ing class action and made the farm.
er-labor party an issue in the Ameri-
can labor movement. We can also say,
without danger of the statement being
challenged, that our party has the
greatest gains for itself thru this cam
paign for the labor party. It is thru
this farmerlabor party campaign that
our party has established itself as a
political force in the United States. It
is thru this campaign that 1t has es-
tablished its prestige and its leader
ship among the masses of workers
and farmers. Nothing has contribut-
ed so much to develop our party from
a sectarian group to recognized po-
litical force in the life of the labor
movement Of this country than our
maneuvers in relation to the farmer
labor party.
Inc central executive committee
declares that the campaign for a
farmer-labor party was a correct esti-
nation of the situation in the United
States. It declares further that the
campaign for a farmer-labor party
must be continued and will be major
campaign Of the party in the future"
Why the Sudden discovery?
This was presented to the member
ship late in July. The LaFollette boom
was at its height. Our central execu-
tive committee adopted the complete
program unanimously When did the
majority discover the basis for their
present position? Comrade Foster in
an article some time since said the
