The Preparatory Commission met

A House debate over construction
Of three new cruisers was turned to-
day into a dispute over the attitude
| Of President Coolidge toward strength
ening the Navy.
Offering an amendment to the naval
bill to carry S450,000 for the three
ships. Republican Leader Tilson de.
| clared the proposal was in "substan-
tial accord with the Presidents
policy.
The statement was contradicted i'm
mediately from the other side Of the
House. The Democratic floor leader.
Representative Garrett Of Tennessee.
said he would support the amendment,
although il represented a break be.
tween the President and the Repub-
lican floor leader"
Quotes From Message.
He read from Mr.. Coolidge's budget
| message disapproving such an ap-
preparation, and quoted from the Re
publican national platform of 1924 a
declaration for a roundabout Navy.
He congratulated Tilson for standing
on that platform "in contrast to some
others who listened to the voice of
the White House"
Departing from the usual procedure
Speaker Longworth took the floor
and warned Congress that it is obli-
gated TO the American people not TO
let the Navy drop below the ratio pro-
vided in the Washington arms treaty.
When the Speaker had concluded
his short statement, Garrett said he
concurred with Mr.. Longworth, and
would join Mr.. Tilson ''in his vote
against the President -
Unfair, Says Speaks.
The House was told by Representa-
tive Speaks. Republican, Ohio. that ir
was unfair to launch building pro-
gram in the face of other nations
efforts to disarm."
Declaring he was in favor of Navy
in accordance with the treaty, Repre-
sentative Linthicuna. Democrat, Mary
land, described the Tilson amendment
as gesture" If the appropriation
is to be made, he said. more than the
S450,000 should be made available TO
push actual construction.
Either tell the people of this couu-
try that you are opposed TO an ade-
quate Navy or tell them that you are
opposed to standing pat" he declared.
Linthicum contended the appro-
priation of S4500 was a ''pigtanCe
and mere gesture" while Repre-
sentative Byrns. Democrat. Tennes-
see. and Chairman Butler of the
naval committee declared all ships
were started in this way with small
appropriations.
Assailed by BlantOn.
Declaring that high ranking naval
officers are seeking TO have Congress
overthrow the wishes of the Presi-
dent, Representative Blanton. Demo
crat, Texas, said that as members of
the United States Navy League and
United. States Navy Institute. naval
officers had circularized Congress urg-
ing it ito throw aside the policy and
recommendation of their comma nder-
in-chief' by ordering construction Of
the three cruisers
Blanton also attacked "the Internal
system of our hard boiled Navy" de-
claring an officer must come from

FEDERAL ENGINEER AGAINST
HARBOR OF REFUGE
Bases Adverse Decision On Decreas.
ed Use of HarbOr at Lewes

Colonel F. c. Boggs, United
States engineer in charge of the
Philadelphia district, has unfavor-
ably reported the proposition for
the improvement to the Harbor OF
Refuge in the Delaware bay, at
Lewes.
In preparing his report author
lied by a resolution of the COM
mittee on rivers and harbors of the
House of Representatives adopted
February 8, 1926, Colonel Boggs
bases his adverse conclusion upon
the decreased use of the Harbor OF
Refuge and the comparatively small
amount of property loss in recent
years, which he contends does not
warrant at this time the large ex-
penditure of funds necessary to fill
in between existing icebreakers, to
extend the breakwater toward the
shore or to dredge in the harbor in
lee of the breakwater.
Colonel Boggs reports, however,
that all interested parties have the
privilege of an appeal from this con-
clusion to the Board of Engineers
for Rivers and Harbors, which is a
permanent body sitting at Washing
ton, ID. c., to which all examinations
and survey reports of this character
are referred.

should make known their desire to
