NAVY PLANS AWAIT FARLEY.
Failure May Mean Most Powerful
u. S. Sea Force.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

II the proposed armament confer
ence between Great Britain, United
States and Japan is a failure, Con-
gress will be asked to expand the
American Navy next December, SO
that il will be as powerful, II not
more powerful, than any other navy
in the world.
President Coolidge is determined
that the question shall be canyassed
by the principal naval powers, and a
decision TO limit further construction
reached. The strongest argument IN
favor of such a policy which the
American delegation will advance is
that unless restriction exists the ap-
propriations for naval purposes Will
Increase almost without limit.
Opposition to Ratio.
The single thing which made the
1922 armament conference success
was the knowledge that the
United States had the money to build
q bigger navy, whereas the other
powers were weighed down by war
debts.
The naval group in the United
States did not take kindly To the
agreements of the Washington con-
ference because. while a 5-5-3 ratio
Tor capital ships was established, the
navy Of Great Britain, by elevation
OF guns and by the building OF
cruisers and auxiliary craft, really
took a position which naval experts
said was far above the ratio. rms
Was denied by the British navalists.
It is recognized that failure of the
forthcoming conference would give
American naval men an lnfluentlai
leverage with Congress, Which mas
lately shown a disposition to override
President Coolidge's advice on the ma
tional defense program.
Mr.. Coolidge is really fighting the
naval group in Congress when he
pleads with Great Britain and Japan
Tor further limitation.
Blow to France and Italy.
AS for France and Italy, they would
suffer greatly if an unlimited naval
building program should be under
taken bv the United States, Great
britain and Japan. The present
French navy would then be regarded
as inadequate. The cry OF the naval
lists in France would then be to keep
pace with Great Britain. AS France
Increased her naval strength, ltaiy
would feel obligated to do likewise.
The whole vicious circle of naval COM
petition would be begun, and this is
what the President foresees unless
the naval powers adopt sensible
attitude toward further naval cc:i-
struction.
What the foreign governments have
not clearly understood is the motive
back of the American Governments
Invitation. 1t is sincerely to limit
and reduce armament. even at time
when the United States is wealthy
enough TO have the greatest navy of
all times.
Elements in Success.
While q three power conference is
assured, the viewpoint of Italy and
France will have a great deal TO do
with it's success Though failing to
accept a formal invitation, the French

thought that it would be impossible
to make her as comfortable In the
space in the rear of the Dupont Circle

The President, however, soon de-
veloped a longing to have Rebecca
around to pat in the evenings while
he was reading or working with men,
bers of his household, and. after a
family counsel with Mrs. Coolidge. 1t
was agreed to establish Rebecca In
the Dupont Circle house.

SOVIET PRESS BITTER.
Italy's O. X. of Bessarabian Pact
Called Hostile Act.

MOSCOW, March 10 R.-Italy's
ratification of the treaty recognizing
the annexation of the former Russian
Province of Bessarabia to Rumania
provokes bitter outbursts in the
Soviet press and will probably bring a
vigorous note from the 'foscow gov
ernment.
The newspaper Izvestia, mouthpiece
of the government, terms the Italian
ratification an act "openly unfriendiy
to Soviet Russia" and a menace to the
friendly relations between the two
countries.
1t suspects that the recent visit to
Italy of Winston Churchill, British
chancellor of the eXchequer. had some
thing to do with exped ting the rati-
fication and influencing Mussolini

The treaty, 1t adds, is worthless and

EARTHQUAKE AREA
HORRORS INCREASE
Cold, Snow and Floods Add to
Suffering--2,458 Dead Of
ficiaIIy Reported.
By the Associated Press.


TOXIC, March 10.-Each succeed
ing report from the earthquake area
in central Japan furnishes a fresh
chapter in a tale of horror. Bitter
cold, snow, rain, overfiowing streams
and lack of food and shelter all have
added to the trials of the terror
stricken persons whose homes either
toppled about them when the earth
rocked Monday evening, or were
burned in the fires that followed.
The army, navy and police are MAX
ing every effort to reach the sufferers,
but broken railway tracks. blocked
roads and flooded country are hinder
ing them. Violent winds and rough
seas have prevented destroyers from
reaching the scene with supplies.
Official reports to the home office
from the earthquake area say there
are 2,45S dead, 4,107 injured and So
missing. About 5000 houses were de-
stroyed by fire or collapse, and more
than 1000 were badly damaged. Esti-
mates of the homeless range from
sc, 900 to $50, 900. Observers believe the
material damage may amount to $75,-
600, 200.
Homeless Being Relieved.
The homeless are being rapidly re-
lieved through the construction of
barracks, and food and medicines are
flowing into the devastated region.
The center of Mondays quake was
apparently 10 miles off Kyogasaki
promontory, at the tip of the Tango
Peninsula, says dispatch from Dr.

If the movement had centered on the
land instead of at sea, he added, the
disaster would have been greater
than that of 1923, in which 100000

DIR. Akitsune Imamura, a prominent
member Of the faculty Of the Impe-
rial University, who Is also IN the
devastated zone, says the ampiitude
of the quake was twice as great as
that of 1925, in which 381 persons
were killed, and it's destructive force
five times greater. He also believes
that the quake zone is gradually mov-
ing eastward.

Italy Makes Pact Effective.

The treaty of Paris of October %,
1920, recognizing Rumania's annexa-

with Italy's ratification, as it had pre-
viously been approved by Great Brit

cations were stipulated as necessary
to give it force. Japan, another sig
natory, has not yet ratified it.
Reports that Great Britain had IN
fluenced Italy's ratification were cir
culated in Geneva In response to
these, the British foreign secretary,
Sir Austen Chamberlain, who is at
tending the League of Nations coun-
Gil sessions, called the correspondents
together and categorically stated that
Britain was not trying to form bloc

USE COURTS TO
HAMPER PICKETS
OF joint BOARD
Seek Enforcement of
Injunction

An order to show cause why they
should not be punished for contempt
of course was served yesterday on
Louis Hyman, G. S. Zimmerman,
Julius Portnoy, Joseph Boruchowitz,
and 16 business agents and repre-
sentatives Of the Joint Board of Cloak
and Dressmakers. A hearing will be
held May II before Judge Erlanger
in Part l of Eeneral Sessions.
The order is practically the first
effort made for enforcement Of the
injunction obtained on March "a by
the Association of Dress Manufac-
turers, Inc, against Joint Board Of
ficers and members, and constitutes
an unprecedented case in the history
of labor injunctions, according to
attorneys for the Joint Board.
In discussing the order, Louis B.
Boudin, counsel for the Joint Board,
pointed out that the injunction was
unique in that it attempted to pro-
hibit possible acts rather than enjoin-
ing from acts that are being COM
mitted at the time of its issuance. He
declared that the Association of Dress
Manufacturers apparently is at
tempting to punish the entire union,
from Louis Hyman to the last mem
ber."
Picketing A Crime.
Affidavits accompanying the order
declare that the injunction as it pro-
hibits picketing has been violated
daily by workers, who picketed the
shops of employers who had dis
charged Joint Board sympathizers,
and were declared on strike by the
Joint Board.
Magistrates have refused to hold
such pickets as were arrested "for
the injunction" declaring
that the workers had a right to
picket, and that they had no power to
enforce an injunction. This attitude
of the magistrates has resulted in the
recourse to the higher court, in an at
tempt to quench the enthusiastic
picket lines.
The injunction was sweeping in its
nature, restraining workers from
picketing, from shouting "scab," from
going to the homes of the workers
or the shops of the employers and
