against the first line of defense-the
Navy---prompted the President In mis-
last message to Congress to say that
I'VE would provide for our needs regard
less of propagandists for or against an
adequate Navy"
In view of the efforts of those who
characterize every argument In favor OF
the Navy as military propaganda. he
cited statements of the early leaders OF
the country on the needs of substantial
first line of defense, and said such de-
fense would be based upon expert jndg-
ment as to the needs of the Nation and
without propaganda, prophecies OF war.

threats of financial disaster.
He urged the calm. persistent, deter
mined and transformations construction
of fleet which would not only protect
this Nation, but would be source OF
comfort to all weak nations seeking to
maintain peace and avoid armed con-
f1ict.

Robert COndit Announces Lack
 of Funds as One Reason

Miami Beach. Fla, March CUP) A congested condition of the nete- oric stream, plus a lack of capital to finish his invention has caused Robert Condit to consider postpon- ing his flight to the planet Venus.
 He said the metsoric channels had been crowded of late and indi- cated he did not desire to crash into a flying meteor while en route to Venus The present meteoric cycle will end Saturday and In case Condit can not take off before then he probably will postpone his attempt until August
 Condit said his original financial packers had refused to advance any more funds and that unless other financing methods were successful he was afraid the venture might have to be postponed. He said he would announce his decision Friday,
 Recently he asked permission to charge admission for views Of the strange tube in which he hopes to make the planetary ascent. This was refused by city officials.
 "Condit started on trip to Venus and not to open a side show anu suggest that he follow his ur4glnal plan." John Levi, president of the city council, said.
 This dissipated one method Of raising additional funds but Condit said he had still other plans.

CLASHES WITH POPE
Gabrielle D'Annunzio, War Hero, Writes Letter to Friend Attacking Pope Plus in Scathillg Terms.

Brescia. Italy, March s (UP)- Gabrielle D'Annunzio. intrepid war hero and most romantic of ustng poets. clashed today with the pope.
 In a letter to his friend. Tomaso Monicelli, D'Annunzio spoke of the many thinkers and writers who had suffered clerical persecution only to be exalted afterward by high hon. ors."
 The letter was 6 reply to a recent statement by the pope indirectly at tacking D'Annunzio's writing as blasphemous.
 By defying the pope. D'Annunzio was following the example Of Pre- mier Benito Mussolini. "1l Duce" several months ago spoke frankly regarding vatican statements about the fascist policy toward the pope's temporal power.
 The biting terms of D'Annnnzio's letter revealed no trace Of the poets recent serious illness.
 T can recall without retailing scandal" 1t said "a certain Pope Leo who opposed the vatican censors with the declaration that the great. candid language of Italy could only be blessed. The very writers whom he defended against the censors had condemned him.
 This pope was a. good Umbrian Latinist, cultured in letters from Horace to Catullus.
 "Was not he nobler than he who some years ago, in ambrosian fra gility. was custodian of the blonde hair of Lucretia Borgia1
 "I do not bow to the learned in- stigator Of the unlearned. but smile" "
 The Leo referred to evidently was Led XII. The custodian of the mo- torious Lucretia's hair evidently re- ferred to the present pope at the time he was custodian of the library of St. Ambrose. at Milan.

 Equalization Fee

Washington. March s.-tP-The long awaited McNary- -Haugen farm relief bill, modified in an effort to meet objections Of President Cool idge but retaining the controversial equalization fee. was reported fav- orably to the senate today by Chair man McNary, Oregon. for the agri- cultural committee.
 The report noted that far reach- different measure" from that which passed the last congress. adding that it is addressed to the same problem and is based upon the same general principles.
 "The changes which have been made 1t continued. meet in large part the objections expressed by the president in his message of February a5. 1927, in returning the former measure without his approval. Es- pecially does the present bill provide an almost unlimited opportunity for the administrative body created un- der it to deal with the problem Of agricultural surpluses through loans and advances which those who have opposed the past committee bills urge would be fully adequate 10 meet the situation"
 The bill, which was favorably act cd on by the agricultural committee nearly q month ago. would authorize an appropriation of s25o, ,0oo,oo0 to carry out it's provisions; the main provision Is that expenses of market ing any surplus crops shall be borne by the producers through the means of the equalization fee, levied back on those producers.
