C0XEY'S MONEY
WAR CROWS

Gen. Jacob s. Coxey, who led
"Coxey's Army Of unemployed In :
march on washington In 1894 only
to be put in Jail, has started q new
crusade for free money"-and he
has some Of his Congressional op-
ponents worried.
Some members Of the House Bank.
ing Committee. who rejected Coxey's
scheme. have called for aid in re-
pelling his invasion of their districts
in tent meetings which he conducts
with all the fervor Of crusading
evangelist.
Sold Business
Although he il IS years old, the
venerable Coxey has sold out his
prosperous business In Ohio to carry
on his fight. His daughter. Ruth
Patricia, accompanying him.
Coxey has promised to visit the
districts of all members Of the House
Banking Committee who have voted
against his plan. and mobilize pub.
lie sentiment behind q demand for
action.
Reports received here indicate he
is making progress in his fight. and
has some Congressmen worried
about their chances Of reelection.
The Coxey scheme provides that
States, cities and county govern.
ments can issue interest free bonds,
send them into the Federal Treasury
and receive money in exchange.
Mellon Opposed
Secretary Of the Treasury Mellon
has denounced the scheme as plain
fiat money, which would upset the
whole commercial system Of the
county IL carried out.
But Coxey declares that the bill
would save the people of the States
and cities $3.50, 900, 600 a year and
provide a job for every unemployed
man in the country. He claims that
it was in the interest Of the same
scheme that he made his famous
march on Washington.

Is Cruisers To Be Build
1t was to make up American
| deficiency in cruiser strength that
| Congress last year rode rough-shod
over the White House and insisted
| upon the 15-cruiser building pro-
gram, which was to add five cruisers
a year for the next three years at
a cost of from $3.50, ,000.000 to $780,
00O, 900. President Coolidge at that
time insisted that Congress only
authorize" eight cruisers and not
appropriate the money therefor. but
Congress would have none OF it.
| 1t insisted that five keels be laid
down annually during the next three
years and appropriated the money
| to start construction.
| The logical next step in the
| Anglo-American exchange is the
summoning of an international con.
| ference, to which would be invited
| Japan, France and Italy, the other
parties to the original Washington
conference treaty.
A fairly definite Anglo American
! agreement must be reached before
lhand, however, for any successful
conference must be predicated upon
an understanding between the two
greatest sea powers.
Macdonald intimated in his Com
mons speech that he hopes soon to
see the conference a reality, and lie
expressed the hope that 1t would be
| held in the United States.
The mutual agreement to suspend
this years building was Interpreted
here today as an eloquent gesture
toward a more complete agreement.
What Washington now expects is
that the negotiations will continue
| as they have been for some months
past, with a possible conference III
the fall.

Britain Must Scrap
Many of Her Cruisers;
Has Ga to 1S u. S. Ships

Actual reduct1on-and not merely
Iimitation-of the worlds naval
armament appeared appreciably
nearer today as result of the In
formal agreement between President
Hoover and Premier Ramsay Mac
Donald to hold up cruiser building
on both sides of the Atlantic for
this year at least.
Such has been President Hoover s
aim from the outset of his admin
istration. The Washington Confer
ence eight years ago limited naval
armament. President Hoover hopes
to carry this long step further by
radically reducing 1t.
If successful, this must ultimately
mean that Great Britain will have
to relinquish great many more Of
her cruisers than the paper ones
which Macdonald sacrificed yester-
day, for Britain's cruiser preponder-
ance Is overwhelming, and both
london and Washington have agreed
on the principle Of naval parity
between the two nations.
U. s. Has 40 Cruisers
II the principal of parity is
raaintained-and Congress fairly
bristles at the thought Of any
thing but parity-Britain either
will have to sacrifice more cruisers
to bring her establishment down to
the American plane or the United
States will have to build cruisers
up to the British figures. Presi-
dent Hoover apparently hopes that
an equality mark can be agreed
upon somewhere near the present
American cruiser strength. This
would call for some real cruiser
scrappins by the Mcdonald govern
nent.
According to the latest figures.
the United States has a total of
some 40 cruisers of approximately
800, 900 tons; Great Britain has 81
cruisers of 392, 900 tons, and Japan
has II cruisers of 100000 tons.
The joker in these figures, how
ever, lies in the fact that the 40
American cruisers are classified as
obsolete, having been laid down
prior to 1911. These % old cruisers
amount to some $4,000 tons, so
that, for comparative purposes, the
cruiser strength Of the two coun-
tries should read: United States,
IL. totaling $4,000 tons; Great
Britain, 64, totaling $4,000 tons
The British navy does not contain
= cruiser on active service that
was laid prior to 1911. whereas the
limited States has % such vessels

erancs in cruiser strength, the

specifically rejected the request Of
President Coolidge to be given au-
thority to suspend the building of
cruisers at any time,
Pact Must Be Signed
Instead, Congress provided that
the program could be held up only
after the leading naval powers have
signed a limitations agreement. The
cruiser act, which was approved by
President Coolidge February l3,
1929, provided:
SIN the event of an international
agreement which the President is
requested to encourage, for the fur
ther limitation of naval armament
to which the United States is sigma
tory, the President is authorized
and empowered to suspend In whole
or in part ary of the naval con-
struction authorized under this act.
Mr.. Hoover by his brief an
nouncement, it is pointed out, wiped
out the fruits of three-year fight
in Congress by the big navy
bloc to bring American cruiser
strength more nearly to level with
Great Britain.
See Congress Fight
Although members of the big
navy bloc are scattered far ard
wide, past declarations of hackers
of the cruiser building program
makes certain that Mr.. Hoovers ac-
tion will arouse fight in Congress.
Representative BrItten (RJ IF I1i-
nois, chairman of the House Naval
Affairs Committee, who is about 10
sail for Europe, recalled the VIC
tory of the committee over Mr.. Cool
idge in refusing to permit susPen-
sion of the cruiser program with
out a definite international agree
ment.
In answer to Mr.. Hoover's econ
omy drive on the Army and Navy,
Britten asserted that he would
fight reduction in the Navy until
parity is achieved with Great
Britain. Although Premier McDon-
aid announced that Great Britain
accepts the principle of parity, the
United States would still be below
British cruiser strength II the 10
cruiser program is completed. ac.
cording to naval authorities.
Under the cruiser law, the Secre-
tary of the Navy is directed to SUB
NIT estimates to Congress In the
fiscal years 1929, 1880 and 1881 for
their building. This action, it Is
held, will have to be taken regard
less of the Presidents act, thus
bringing the cruiser question before
Congress.
Coolidge Rebuffed
The time limitation feature of
the cruiser law was fought over By
Congress for three years. In the
first brush, Congress rejected Mr..
Coladge's proposal to authorize eight
cruisers and not appropriate money
for them and instead appropriated
money for three ships.
In this fight the President was
opposed by the fighting Quaker
chairman of the House Affairs Com.
r1ittee, Representative Thomas But
Ter rR0 of Pennsylvania. since de-
ceased.
Mr.. Coolidge made a similar re
quest for authority to suspend the
S274 100000 program for Is cruiser
ard one aircraft carrier. that was
finally beaten last winter in the
Senate.
