BRITISH BUDGET
| BILL IS ADVANCED
Churchill Forces Measure
to Second Reading by
Resort to CIoture.
By the Aseociated Press.

LONDON, May 26.-In the House
of Commons last night Winston
Churchill, chancellor of the ex
chequer, obtained the second reading
of the finance bill embodying his
budget proposals. The bill passed it's
piled and carried, and Philip Snow
den's motion to reject the bill was
defeated by 331 to 139.
Application of cloture provoked
angry protests from the opposition.
The chancellor again had to submit
to much criticism from Mr.. Snowden,
Ramsay Macdonald. Mr.. Lloyd
George and others, but would not be
stirred from the conviction of the
tanned that, with the notifications he
already had proposed, the silk duties
would form a permanent part of the
country's revenue.
The chancellor further declared
that the government had no intention
of postponing the pensions scheme,
but he promised a statement in due
course which would reduce to very
small proportions the fears that the
scheme would be a burden on in
dustry.
Mr.. Lloyd George made an interest
ing contribution, arguing that the
chancellor ought to cut down expendi-
ture on armament since there was no
longer any menace to British security.
He remarked that since the earth
quake Japan could contemplate no
scheme of aggression, and he charac-
teriZed the Singapore naval base plan
as sheer madness"
Winding up the debate, Premier
Baldwin denied that the reimposition
of the Mckenna duties or the silk tax
was protectionist; they were purely
revenue duties. He said that Great
Britain had travelled a long way to-
ward its rehabilitation as the financial
center of the world. The first step
was the balanced budget of 1919; the
second was the funding Of the Ameri-
can debt: the third was a provision
in the budget introduced by himself.
when chancellor of the exchequer, that
a sum of not less than ESQ, 100000
should be allocated yearly to the re-
duction of the debt.
By restoring the gold standard, he
said, Mr.. Churchill had put the coping
stone to the edifice. He was proud of
having been associated with these sue
cessive steps, and he could not help
feeling a malicious joy that the very
critics who had blamed him for the
liberation of the country from Amer
lean shackles" by funding the debt
were those who accused Mr.. Churchill
of riveting the same American shac-
kles on Great Britain by returning to
the gold standard.

RLEAFOR ECONOMY
in LOCAL AFFAIRS
Mia=City Association Be-
lieVeS District Should Follow
U. S. Government Example.

The Mid City Citizens Association
believes the time has arrived when
the people of the District should de-
mand that the local government should
follow the example being set by the
Federal Government of reducing ex-
pendftures with the view to lowering
taxes.
: The association made it plain that
the people of the District should pay
need TO the appeals for economy being
made by President Coolidge and, with
this idea in view. the association voted
to turn the question over to the execu.
tive committee for report at the next
meeting.
This discussion and action followed
the reading of a communication from
A. g. Driscoll, president of the asso-
clatlon, who was out of the city last
night, in which he called attention to
steadliy increasing annual appropria-
tlonS Tor the local government and the
subsequent climbing tax rate.
Example for ID. C. Government.
If the Federal Government can
huord to economize and can mate.
rally reduce taxes there is no reason
why the local government cannot do
tile saine-at least an attempt can be
made, 1t was set forth in this com
munication. Mr. Driscou further
stated that land values are naturally
hlgh In the section of the Capital rep
resented by this association, and for
that reason the. property owners in
tnat area are carrying a heavy burden
IN the matter of taxes, with the pros
pect OF heavier load very shortly.
Inc latter prediction was substan-
tlated In no uncertain terms by Mai.
Danlel Donovan. auditor of the Dis
lESr1N Nhny. = r.,
declared that at the rate the District
is spending money the citizens now
are confronted with the strong likeli-
nood OF another tax boost. He said
that a 81 tax rate is inevit6bIe, and
that in his opinion it's arrival is not
far off.
we would be paying a 50 tax rate
noW,' Maj. Donovan said, had it not
been for the surplus revenues which
were at the disposal of the local Treas
ury."
Maj. Donovan expressed the belief
that Congress is going to be more
generous, now that the Federal and
District governments do not share the
costs in a proportionate plan. He
warned his hearers not to mistake the
passage OF large appropriation bills
Tor the District as acts of generosity
on the part of Congress TT is nat
ural," he said, for Congress to agree
to larger appropriations now that the
Federal Government is not affected"
MAJ. Donovan intimated very strong
yq that the public school building pro
gram was larger than it should have
been, and that 1t is one of the princi.
pal contributing causes for the grow.
ing tax rate. He indicated that the
time is not far off when the question
of floating a bond issue should be
ready for serious consideration.
In the absence of President Driscoll,
Vice President Buchanan presided.

tact with nature" Dr. Work said.
There is no action without reaction;
1t may be the urge of the returning
cycle that is drawing our people from
the conveniences of modern homes
Whcih have taken SO long to design
and build, to the more natural sur
roundings Of the outdoors. Residents
of modern palaces sleep out on the
porch and our American Indians re-
fuse to sleep in houses built for them
1t may be the call of the primitive
in us rebelling against the hothouse
existence to which we have become
accustomed; it may be the instinct
of self preservation working to In
sure the survival of the species by
the disciplinary effect of resistance to
the elements sometimes seen in those
who go out to walk in storm, or
it may be only an effort to add variety
to our daily round. But whatever
may be the immediate cause Of this
outdoor movement, back of 1t all may
be the operation of another phase of
the cycle of existence. We are at
tempting after a fashion to complete
a cycle begun by the forebears of
those in this region who struggled
to overcome the forests and wild life
we now seek to conserve.
And here in the Blue Ridge of
Virginia, in the very heart of civilized
America, lies preserved for our use
bit of nature that is identical with
the virgin territory found by Capt.
John Smith and his heroic followers.
It's inaccessibility has kept 1t intact
and in the hurried distractions of mod
ern life your forefathers have not
had the time to conquer this wilder
ness, which is one of the few remain
ing in the East. 1t is now, l hope,
to be dedicated to the encouragement
Of our instructive tendency to return
to nature and the outdoors.
"The whole national park movement
is based on this desire of man to
commune with nature. More than a
million and a half people last year
visited the 10 national parks and 80
national monuments guarded by the
Department of the Interior. The
geysers and buffalo of the Yellow
stone, the gorges of Grand Canyon,
the giant trees of Sequoia, the glaciers
of Mount Rainier, the falls of Yo-
semitic, the prehistoric dwellings of
Mesa Verde, the living volcano of
Lassen Peak and the petrifled forests
of Arizona have attracted millions of
people and will continue to draw them
westward il the years to come.
Time for East to Act.
"It Is time that other primeval spots
in the East containing similar natural
wonders be preserved for the benefit
of this densely populated section. The
opportunity for State participation in
reserving smaller areas for parks pur-
poses has developed from the grow
ing popularity of the national parks
Director Mather's slogan, "A State

HAWAIIAN FLEET
BEGINS NEW SORT|E
Launches Mimic Attack From
Lahaina-SaiIor browns
While Swimming.

ON BOARD U. S. S. SEATTLE AT
SEA ON SORTIE, May 26.-The in
tensive training program of the fleet
in leaving its base on sortie, seeking
an enemy and re-entering port in
formation began yesterday morning
with the launching of another theo-
retical attack from Lahaina Road
steads, the present base.
The program f"r the final week Of
the most extensive maneuvers ever
carried out by United States feet,
providing for re-entering Lahaina on
Tuesday, another sortie from the
roadsteads on Wednesday morning,
re-entry on Thursday and a final
sortie Thursday night, arriving at
Honolulu on Friday. The sortie on
Thursday will be conducted under
darkened ships, and will be the first
night sortie attempted by the fleet.
Menaced by Submarines.
The final weeks program is based
on the feelings of the high command
that previous sorties and re-entrances
had not been entirely satisfactory and
that the fleet needed more practice in
this element of warfare.
1t is pointed out that if the be-
ginning of a sbrtie from a base is
not conducted perfectly, enemy sub
marines waiting outside might take
advantage offered by mistakes.
This mornings sortie was conduct
ed as previously, through a theoretical
gate in a mine field barrier, which
protects the roadstead. The mine
sweepers went ahead of the main
force. clearing the path of enemy
mines. 1t is believed It was per-
formed with more gratifying effect
than any of the previous ones.
