LEGISLATION ON
COAL PROBLEM
BEFORE HOUSE
Committee to Report Bill
Providing Mine Seizure
in Emergency.
Times WaShinGtOn Bureau.
1929 NelO York ApenHe


WASHINGTON. April Coal
legislation is again occupying Con
gress, despite the ending of the
anthracite strike. The House Com
mittee on Interstate Commerce is
holding hearings on the subject.
Representative Parker of Pennsyl-
vania said the committee intends to
report out bill which will follow
the recommendation of President
Coolidge's messages, and will be de-
signed to end the possibility of an
other emergency such as tbs one
just passed.
The Presidents message recon-
mended a commission Of Cancellation
and arbitration. The committee also
is considering the report of the Ham
mond Federal Commission of several
years ago, which spent 100000
probing the industry.
Parker said anthracite prices
would enter only incidentally into
the comrnitte hearings. 1t is re-
ported in Washington that the OPP
orators have decided not to make
the usual spring cut Of so cents a
ton and Representative Fish of New
York has introduced a resolution of
inquiry as to whether they are
sprofiteering to make up the losses
Of the strike. This is before Park
er's committee.
Local dealers in Washington, New
York and other points, however, have
announced they will make the spring
price-cut whether the operators cut
prices to them or not.
The House committee has before
It about fifty bills. One, by Repre-
sentative Berger of Wisconsin, calls
for confiscation of the mines, most
of the others seeking to set up com
missions or boards which would have
control over the industry. Parker
said, however, the committee would
not report out any of these, but
would probably draw up an entirely
new bill of it's own.
1t was indicated this bill probably
will include two main features-some
control of the industry through regu-
lar reports to Federal agency, and
a provision by which the President
would be empowered to seize the
mines during an emergency.
Parker said the hearings would
run for several weeks. and that Con
gressmen, operators and miners, job
bers and retailers and others prob
ably would be heard as we'll as ex-
perts from the Department of Com

EUROPE IS BACK ON
ON WAR PATH AGAIN
Nine Years After U. S. Entered Conflict, Old World Is
Forming Many Alliances and Building Great Armies.

But John Bull is not asleep. He
has all kinds of air machines whose
secrets are carefully guarded. And
he is building two airships, each
with 100000 cubic feet capacity.
FRANCE-Her policy is to have
the strongest army in the world to
keep a watch on Germany; the
strongest air fleet in the world in
case of trouble with either Germany
Or England; and navy adequate in
case of trouble with Italy.
The first two parts of the program
are complete. Her army of over half
a million men has no rival 1t has
been stated and not denied that she
has $500 first line air machines
ready and 1000 in reserve.
But Italy has her navy men
frightened. Recently it was stated
that by 1923 Italy would have thir-
teen cruisers against nine for
France; fifty-six torpedo boats,
against forty-three; and fifty-eight
submarines against forty-two. Hence
a move to spend more money on the
French navy.
ITALY - Mussolini is sending

charging his count1y's air force

planes in the latter part of 1924 The
dictator visualizes doubling this
within another year.

army has become law. Under it 200,-
900 men are called to the colors ev-
cry year and serve eighteen months.
The army each year reaches maxi
mum of 100000 men in April and
sinks to minimum of $50, 900 in Oc-
tober.
GERNANY-Hasn neither navy nor
air forces to speak of. She has, how
ever, a large commercial air fleet
which could be readily turned into
military forces.
Nominally she is allowed an army
of only 100, 900 men. But it is claimed
by the French that under a system
of recruiting and training, many
times that number of men are being
prepared.
RUSSIAN. Voroshiloff, soviet
commissioner of military and naval
affairs, recently said Russia had
562 600 men in her army and could
easily have 100000 more, but her
! finances won't allow it, Her navy
is negligible, but she has over 800
airplanes and her plans call for 900
which the Germans will probably
build.
POLAND-Has an army of over
275,000 and an air force Of 125 ma
chimes. The equipment Of the army
has largely been supplied by France,
and French officers have trained the
men.
SPAIN-Has about 262, 900 men, OF
whom over 10000 are now in Mo
rocco fighting the Riffs.
THE LITTLE ENTENTE-Cz
Slovakia has about 10000 men in
her army; Jugoslavia about the
same: Roumania over 100000. France
has helped arm them and has sent
many commissions to work with
them.

BY Milton BrOnner
NEA Service Writer


LONDON, April 6.-Nine years
AGO today the American people
entered war that was to end all
wars. A peace-loving nation took
up the sword that peace might reign
forever.
The ideal that President Wilson
and the American people set before
the world then has somehow grown
obscured since. Universal, enduring
peace still seems distant. The ma
tions of Europe are sowing the
wind as industriously as before
and there will, as usual, be a whlrl-
wind to reap when the crop ripens.
Jealousy, suspicion and intrigue
are entrenched in the high places.
Rivalries and hatreds are breeding
the embryo of new wars in spite OF
the League of Nations and Locarno.
military preparations? These are
going forward nearly as rapidly as
before the war.
Alliances? There never were more
of them.
France has an alliance with Bel
GUM for mutual defense. 1t has
another with Poland. It has agree
ments with Czecho-Slovakia and
.Jugoslavia. All of these alliances
are aimed either at Germany or
Russia.
Czecho- SIovakfa, Jugostavfa and
Roumania have an offensive-de-
fensive alliance against Hungary
part of which domains are under
their banners. They are also sus-
picious of Bulgaria.
Greece likewise fears the Bulgars
and is flirting with the Little En-
tente" above mentioned. The CZechs
are allied with France to keep Ger
many and Austria from uniting.
I,atvia, Esthonia and Lithuania are
trying to combine in case of trouble
with Russia or Poland. Italy, I'm
known quantity in this scrambled
equation of political intrigue, ratt1es
the sword and swings the olive
branch alternately. She seems to he
engaged in a sea-power rivalry with
France and occasionally speaks soft
words to Jugoslavia and Greece.
Great Britain and Germany are
the only nations that seem free
from alliances and ententes.
So much for intrigue. Here are a
few figures on military Vaccinations
TO make Americans think bit:
GREAT BRITANNICA British ma
ton has two preoccupations, to keep
on equal terms with the United
States in a naval way and to bring
her air forces up to something like
the French figure. She is strictly adj
herring to the naval disarmament
agreement of Washington.
The other day British public opin-
ion was much alarmed when the pa
pers stated the United States had a
bigger navy than England. AS a
matter of fact, we equal her in bat
tleships; have no battle cruisers
while England has four; she dis
tances us by so per cent in cruisess
but is far behind us in destroyers
and submarines.
England is frankly afraid of
French air power. The other day
in Parliament it was announced
England had 656 first line machines.
The number In reserve was kept a
secret. Not so long ago it was
stated she had but $40 first class
home defense machines.
