CONGRESS TO HOLD

House Committee to Question
Lord on Money Phase of
Program, Says Butler.
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

Congress will insist on strengthen
ing the United States Navy in an
American way. in exclusive accord
with American needs, Independent of
the wishes, fears or whims of other
countriee. Congress will refuse TO
be a party to any terrorization OF
other nations. Congress will not make
a mere bluff at building ships. Con
gress is going ahead with plans TO
build them. Congress will pass no
naval bill with joker attached. which
will nullify the bill the moment some
body wants more conversation at an
other disarmament conference
In these words Representative
Thomas S. Butler. Republican, of
PENNSYLVANIA, veteran chairman of
the House naval affairs committee,
today signalized to this writer the in
tenticn of Capitol Hill to take the bit
IN -. own teeth with reference to
navai expansion. Mr.. Butler says it's
impossible TO prophesy how Slany or
what kind OF cruisers. destroyer lead

Congress will add to the fleet. But
the House naval chairman makes no,
bones about prophesying that Con-
Eress will legislate for steel, not
paper, ships" as soon as it is salts

bear the immense burden required.

clares, will say when the ships are to

Before the House takes up the naval
bill-which will not he until after the

of the Geneva limitation conference. i

asked.

now paving it. without placing addi-
tional burdens upon the people. We
think it is quite important to know
that.
Then we shall want to know from
Gen. Lord whether he has made any
estimate of what it'll cost to construct
within five years II ships of war. and
what it'll cost to maintain them when
they are constructed. The American

when Congress is in possession of

is undoubtedly entirely ample. But |

will insist upon determining the num-

|SENATE'S POWER

Grove, King and Goff Tell
SIush Committee.

The power of the Senate TO punish
recalcitrant witnesses before Senate
committees was upheld in reports
submitted to the Reed slush fund
committee today by Senator King of
Utah and Goff of West Virginia
Both Senators had been engaged in
examining the law with particular
reference as to what could be done in
the cases of Samuel insult of Chicago
and States Attorney Grove, also of
Chicago, and Thomas w. Cunningham
of Philadelphia, all of whom declined
to answer questions put to them in
the senatorial campaign investiga-
tions last Summer.
Meets Again Next Monday.
The committee, Senator Reed of
Missouri said following today's meet
ing, took no action with regard to
citing these witnesses for contempt.
He said that he expected to have
another meeting on Monday of next
week. at which time the committee
would determine it's course.
If the committee adopts the view
taken by Senator King, and proceeds
against the recalcitrant witnesses the
summon the witnesses before the bar
of the Senate. In that event they will
be given an opportunity to purge
themselves of contempt by answer
ing questions which they declined to
answer before the Senate committee.
Power to Jail Them Claimed.
Should they continue contumacious.
the Senate, in the opinion of Senator
King, as the result would have the
power to turn them over to the SER
geant-at-arms and have them placed
in the District jail.
In view of the recent decision of
the Supreme Court of the United
States in the Nal Daugherty case, 1t is
not believed any court would grant
them writ of habeas corpus, as in
the case of Dougherty, and thus pre-
vent their being hailed before the bar
of the Senate.

GERMANS WELCOME CHANGE.
One More Consequence of Defeat
Lightened by Allies.

BY Radio to The Star and Chicago Daily
News. Copyright, 1927.
BERLIN, February Silently and
unmourned, the Interallied military
Control Commission leaves Germany
today. Not drum was heard-not a
funeral note.
Germans, from President Hinden-
burg TO the widest Communist, vel
come the departure. Only two groups
have perhaps reason for some slight
regret First are the numerous
friends of over 200 officers, who.
thanks to their connections, could
sometimes obtain foodstuffs and wines
from the British. and French military
canteens at extremely low prices.
Second is the group of nationalist
fanatics who will have one less OBJ
ject against which to direct daily dia-
tribes and lamentations.
The officers themselves mostly leave
with regrets Their position here has
often their financial compensation
high. The newspapers say that dur
ing seven years of activity members
of the commission carried out 33,381
investigating visits with almost negli-
gible results. Despite the aid of Ger
man Communists and pacifistS, the
allied officers were baffied.
Germany possesses today the skele-
tons of an army and Of armament
surpassed by no country. AS one OF
the leaders of the nationalistic patri-
otto societies told the correspondent
personally, They have found that
they cannot prevent a nation like
Germany from arming. So long as
other nations are armed to the teeth,
we shall continue to do likewise"
Arms control passes to the League
of Nations, and it remains to be seen
with what results. Today Germany
has lightened one more consequence
of her defeat.

lot on 81, 200, 1000 Amend
ment Over Coolidge Protest.

BY a vote of 40 to 27, the Senate
today adopted the committee amend
ment to the naval appropriations bill
appropriating $1,200,000 toward the
construction of the last three of the
eight scout cruisers authorized in
1924.
The vote in the Senate was hailed
as a victory for the Navy. President
Coolidge has opposed the appropria-
ton at this time for these cruisers
on the ground that this Government
is now engaged in negotiations look
ing toward another naval limitation
conference.
The supporters of the appropria-
ton for the cruisers argued that the
United States is far below the
strength of Great Britain in cruisers
and below Japan also.
Party Lines Smashed.
The 5-5-3 ratio established at the
Washington conference for the
United States, Great Britain and
Japan in capital ship strength and

auxiliary craft, although no agree

cruiser vote, Republicans from the
central part of the country voting
with the President, while those from
the Coast States voted for the cruiser
appropriation. For the most part
