REPLIES
TO CRITICISMS
OF |. DOUGLAS

PHOENIX, Sept. Is Up = Gov
ernOr Hunt today characterized
the statements of Congressman
Lewis Douglas, democrat, criticiz-
ing the present state adninistra
ton as the "most deplOrable in the
history 'Of Arizona" as being "a
little annoying" to the people of
the state to learn that Congress
man Douglas "is ashamed of the
affairs of the state"
The governor devoted consider
able space in public statement
to Douglas alleged comments on
the Swing Johnson Boulder can
yOn dam bill. 1t was the COVER
nor's contention that Douglas had
declared the measure would "pasS
at the next session of congress"
In reply to this claimed remark,
the governors statement said:
But he may live 10 learn that
representative of Arizona cannot
in one sentence announce his fall
ure to protect the state by pre-
venting legislation litDm passing
that which is unfavorabIe to the
state and in the same breath de-
nOunce an administration that has
successfully defended the rights of
the state"

FREEDOMS DAY
CELEBRATED BY
Local. ME;XICANS
Aqua Prieta, PirtleviIle and
Douglas Commemorate
September 16

Mexico's Independence Day, her
Fourth of July" was celebrated in
Douglas and vicinity with vigor and
abandon that few previous years have
seen
With music, dancing and speech
making in Douglas, Aqua Prieta and
Pirtleville, three distinct celebrations,
each two-day fiesta closed last
night in riot of color and joyous
merry making.
The Mexican population of Douglas
outdid itself in the extent of the
celebration. Their program began
Wednesday evening in a specially
constructed open-air auditorium and
dance floor on a lot in the Railroad
addition where, after an hour OF
dancing, an independence Day pro-
gram was held which closed with the
firing of a double salute of 81 guns
in honor of the American and Mex
ican colors draped side by side above
the platform
Mexico's "Acta de Independence"
framed in 1910 by Miguel Hidalgo,
the father of his country, was read,
the national anthems of America and
Mexico were sung while several pat
riotic addresses were delivered.
Yesterday, the 117th anniversary
of Mexicos independence, started off
with a parade of floats which at
tracted hundreds of spectators to G
avenue. Senorita Antonio Manzo,
'Angel of the Day." rode throned on
a white float decked with flowers,
accompanied by two maids of honor,
the Senoritas Soledad Garcia and
Maria Baldenegro, while Spanish
melodies floated throughout Douglas
from three orcheStras in the process
ion.
In the afternoon there was a base
ball game in the independence Day
pavilion and in the evening another
program and dance: Under brilliant
lights the red, white and green OF
Mexico mingled with the red, white
and blue of the United States, while
senoras and senoritas in picturesque
costumes of the national colors did
the honorss of the occasion.
The Douglas celebration was direct
ed by the "Sociedad Tri-Color" of
Douglas with John Grande acting as
manager, Filipo Varios, secretary,
Juan N. Murillo, treasurer and Julio
Gomez, president of the fiesta. Last

save ten short years ago.
General Pershing and 1900 of the
men he commanded in the war, ar
rived this morning at Cherbourg aboard
the LeViathan, greatest of wartime
transports. Other thousands landed at
French ports during the night and to-
day on other ships, and still more
thousands of their buddies had reach
ed Paris before them.
Those that had known Paris in war
time when it was gay but not bright
came back to find more lights than
they had any idea the city could pro-
duce Not only were the street lights
burning brightly tonight, but thou
sands of others were strung to make
a Franco American holiday. Many of

along great avenues and in the more
famous squares of the capital high
white posts have been placed by the
government to carry additional en-
iolems of red, white and blue.
A waning moon was shining on the
waters of Cherbourg harbor as the
Leviathan steamed into the roads. 1t
was not yet IS o'clock, but all Cher
bourg was awake and ready to well
come Pershing and his men.
Before dawn French officials board
a tender fittingly named welcome"
and went out into the bay to greet the
returning doughboys,
They found General Pershing in a
dressing gown and other legionnaires
in pajamas. They gave their welcome
although they had to compete with
impatient passengers double timing it
along the .linoleum to an early break
kast and an early gang plank.
The French cheered the Americans
and the Americans cheered the French
as the legionnaires entered the port
led by General Pershing and Howard
P. Savage, national commander of the
American legion.
The French cheering was contribut-
ed by a big crowd French navy
bands played "Iadelon" and ''The
Star Spangleds Banner" and American
bands sent over by the legion posts
made the air merry with "Over
There" and 1.-The Marseillaise."
Through flag draped streets and
lanes of cheering people the legion
naires went to the city hall where
French officials welcomed them back
to the soil they helped defend.
Then they entrained for the capital,

Increased Cost Of National

Report of Engineers on
Mississippi Control Is
Not Completed.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 16, oP-
President Coolidge, after going over
the tentative budget with Director
Lord, has reached Ne conclusion
that increased appropriations plan
ned for the war and navy depart
ments next year, ought not ieo-
pardize substantial tax reduction.
His view was disclosed today at the
White House where it was said also
that he had decided there was no
necessity for special session of con-
gresS solely on account of the Mississ-
ippi flood problem.
Secretary Hoover had advised the
president that relief worE can be
taken care of until January | with
funds now on hand and Secretary
Davis of the war department told
him today that the final report of
the board of army engineers and the
Mississippi river commission on flood
control could not be completed until
November is or December for this
reason, the president feels that con-
gress would be able to make no
i1eadway toward enactment OF flood
control legislation before December,
although he expects congressional
committees to do considerable prelim-
mary work before then in the pre-
paration of legislation.
While flood measures are expect
ed to get support Of the admins
tration for early consideration, it is
expected that the tax bill will be
given right of way at the next ses-
sion. Representative Tilson, the Re-
publican leader in the house, has
put forward this suggestion which
has met with the approval of Speaker
Longworth.
Despite the statement of budget
director Lord after his recent visit
with the president at Rapid City that
big increases in appropriations were
faced next year, administration lead.
ers have been looking forward to a
total tax cut next session of at least
$300,00O,O00 and they were encouraged
by Mr. Coolidge's views as outlined
today at the. White House. A. sur
plus of $600,00O,OO0 was piled by the
treasury during the last fiscal year
and although present predictions are
that this will not. be approached by
more than half during this fiscal year
there has been feeling among ad-
leaders that a heavy
tax cut could be made.
White House elaboration on the
view of the president that expected
army and navy. expeditures should
not interfere with tax reduction was
limited, although it was said that he
feels some. additional expenditures
should be authorized.
The prospective increases were de-
scribed as of non-military nature.
1t is expected, however, that the
navy will require a considerable in
crease in appropriations to carry
through ship building program.

CONGRESSMAN
CONVINCED Of
AVIATION NEED
Chairman of House Mill
tary Committee Would
Enlarge Air Service.
HAWAIIAN NEEDS
Says Bombing Planes Could
Put Canal Out of Busi-
ness Readily.

WASHINGTON Sept. 16 (P)-Ma-
terial Strengthening of the air defense
at Hawaii and the canal zone was
held advisable today by Acting Chair
man James of the house military
committee, who returned to the cap
ital after an extended inspection trip
that included more than a score OF
posts there and in continental United
States.
He said he was convinced the pres
ent army aviation building program
should be expanded by congress to
meet d situation considerably changed
by the Atlantic flights of Lindbergh,
Chamberlain, Byrd and others, and
the spanning of the stretch between
the Pacific coast and Hawai- by both
army and private planes.
Enlargement of Wheeler field and
the establishment of another field
near Honolulu are considered neces-
sary by the house member, who also
feels that Albrook field, Panama,
is too small
James said the army authorities in
Hawaii agreed that the most sub
stantial and effective defense of the
islands was from the air and that
his investigation convinced him that
the five year program was not suf
ficient to provide adequate defense
Tor the islands.
Referring to the situation at Pan
anna, he said that 1--WE have got to
have more airplanes down there"
"The military authorities at the
canal zone all agree that recent
ocean flights have demonstrated that
one or more bombing planes could
~put the canal out of business and
that our anti-aircraft guns could not
prevent it, he declared.
.'The military authorities believe
that from a standpoint Of defense
we should have more planes there
than any country could send against
Us. Among the needs OF the zone
is the enlargement and development
of Aibrook field on the Pacific.
Congress should appropriate money
for hangars there and for enlarg;ng
the field The better housing of the
troops I'M the zone, while pressing,
could await the establishment of a
more adequate defense"
James said as a result of his in
spection trip he believed more than
ever 'that our national defense should
be placed under one head, to render
our military forces more effective in
time of need"

FRENCH TARIFF
PROPOSAL WILL
B E REJECTED
American Reply Will Be
Forwarded Next Week
By Department

WASHINGTON, Sept. 16 R)-The
American reply to the French tariff
note probably will be forwarded early
next week to Paris and although no
word was forthcoming from the state
department today, it was foregone
conclusion that it would reject def
initely French desires to negotiate a
tariff agreement The French note
still was withheld from publication as
it has not as yet been made public by
the French government itself, and in
the absence of official word as to the
attitude the Washington government
will take, it has occurred to some OBJ
servers that it might be possible to
impose an increase in duties on French
products, under the flexible provisions
of the tariff act and then negotiate
with France for a reciprocal readjuSt-
ment of rates down to the French
minimum rates as the limit of French
negotiation on the zone side, and down
to the statutory rates in the United
States as the limit of negotiations on
the other. H.
Whether this method is in actual
contemplation by government officials
is not known.
Available figures on. the commercial
business interchanged with France last
year show that the American export
to France amounted to 512 per cent
by value of the total American for
eign commerce, while the French ex-
port to the United States amounted
70 between six and seven per cent OF
the total French export trade.
The total value of American export
ations to France for the year reached
a figure of approximately 1858 100000,
while the corresponding French figure
was $152,0OO,O00. A very substantial
portion of the American sales to
France was in cotton, copper and oil,
while the French export to the United
States was almost wholly in manu-
factured goods
