DAVIS WOULD ADD
TO ALIEN TRAINING
Secretary of Labor Recon-
mends Extension of Nat
uraIization Facilities.

Extension of Citizenship Training
School facilities for applicants for nat
uralization in the United States was
recommended yesterday by Secretary
Of Labor Davis. In letter to Secretary
Of Interior Work, the Labor Depart
ment head suggested that a confer
snce he arranged between the two
departments having as its purpose
snofe adequate public school facilities

Uralization in the United States.

Lands Americanization Methods.
Secretary Davis letter declared that
Judge T.. ]. Henning OF California,
former Assistant Secretary of Labor,
was enthusiastic over the unusual re-
suits being accomplished in the Ameri-
canization schools OF Los Angeles
Similar schools are in existence in
Washington and in dozen other cities
throughout the country.
THE activities carried on" Mr..
. Davis said, included not only evening
classes for citizenship, but day classes
classes for women and those for immi-
grant mothers. The work with
women has become particularly i'm
portant because of the legislation of
1922 providing for the Independent
naturalization of married women.
The work which is being done in
this field in Los Angeles and many
other cities is so vital to good citizen
cl1 he
throughout the United States and
brought to the highest degree of eff
ficiency At all points wherever appli-
cantS for naturalization may be found.
This department has recommended
legislation looking toward raising and
making more specific the educational
standards required for citizenship
through naturalization. The best re-
suits in preparing applicants for citi-
zenship can only be assured Though
adequate public school facilities and
equipment
Judge Henning Quoted.
Judge Henning told Secretary Davis
that the Americanization classes in
Los Angeles are exclusively for per-
sons who have filed their applications
for final citizenship papers and a di-
ploma is issued by the public schools
to those who have finished the course.
This does away" Mr.. Henning said.
with the doubtful expediency of
characterization classes conducted by
people of the same nationality as the
applicants. who charge them substan-
tiai fees for such training. I believe
this idea should be nationalized. First

unless the tension is lessened, the
conference may actually collapse.
w. c. l3ridgeman, first lord OF the
British admiralty, has insisted on d
plenary session Monday in order
that he may eXpound the British
thesis on cruisers in public, and has
served notice also on Mr.. Gibson
that on this public occasion he viii
address to him a series OF questions
touching on conference problems.
He refuses, however, to disclose the
nature of these questions.
Unless the situation improves by
Monday it is conceivable that Mr..
Gibson may definitely ask the Brit
ish delegation to say, YES" or NO, >
whether it is disposed to reduce it's
cruiser figures. This would mean
that Mr. Bridgeman would be ex-
pected to answer and to indicate py
that answer whether any useful
purpose could Dc served by continu-
ing the Geneva negotiations.
In the meantime the Japanese
show a tendency to side more vigor,
ously with the British in restricting
Us far as possible the number or
10000 IONS cruisers. Their naval in
tereSts would be advanced by such
restrictions, because il the United

There are increasing indications
