DELAY ON ship
WORK DEFENDED
British Naval Agreement
Hoover's Reason For
Hating Cruisers

WASHINGTON. July 31.-P)-
The agreement between the United
States and Great Britain looking to
complete equality in the strength Of
their navies is held out by President
Hoover as an answer to critics of
his decision to postpone work on
the three cruisers which were to
have been laid down in navy yards
next fall.
Quoting "our naval authorities
as regard parity with Great Britain
as "a complete defense of the
United States in any contingency"
the president has taken occasion to
set forth the importance he at
taches to the London agreement in
a letter replying to criticisms Of his
cruiser poStponement action by Paul
". McNutt. national commander OF
the American legion. Il.
He describes the agreement as
'the first step of the renewed con-
Sideration of reduction Of the eXceS-
sive world naval armament" and
holds it to be q. forward step Of
the first Importance" ~reiterating
his position that defense is all that
the United States is seeking.
The president expressed his opin-
ion that it was better to establish
such a relation as that represented
in the parity agreement than to
resign ourselves to continue at
temptS to establish 1t by rival cor
structiors programs"
The ~closeness with which the
president is following the negotia-
tons in London between Prime
Minister Macdonald and AmbasSa-
dor Dawes and Gibson, now con-
cerned chiefly with establishment Of
g. new, comprehensive formula for
measuring the strength Of navies,
is being demonstrated by his fire.
quent conferences with high Off
Gals of the state department who
are kept informed of the details.
The current London converse
lions are expected to go a long way
toward making possible a prelimi-
nary naval limitation conference
among the world powers to consider
not only capital ships but cruisers,
destroyers and submarines. 1t is
the belief Of officials here that such
a meeting would eliminate the ne
cesSity for calling a conference un-
der the terms of the Washington
arms limitation treaty.
London is looked upon as the
probable meeting place for the ex-
pected preliminary conference, since
Prime Minister Macdonald would
be most likely to issue the call.
Agreement of Japan, Italy and
France, parties to the Washington
treaty, for consideration of capital
ships at such a conference would be
necessary, however, before that
category of vessels could be in
cluded.

PROPOSAL UP
AT LIONSC CLUB
Breaking Of Deadlock To
Form New Road Dis
trict Projected

Negotiations to break the dead
lock existing between the Harllngen
water district and other sections OF
the county, SO as to make possible
the issuance of the 100000 bonds
remaining of the 100000 voted
for the improvement program, or
the alternative of creating a special
road district, to insure the paving
of the Boca Chica road, and the
filling of gaps on the Military high
way, were discussed by Judge Q. G.
Dancy in a talk to the Lions club on
Tuesday.
At present without the inclusion
of valuations in the Harrington dis
trict, only $4,000 of the bonds can
be issued. but with the conversion
of the Harlingen district the entire
1000, 900 would be available, Dancy
said. The Harlingen district is hold
ing out for the paving of the Ran
gerville ROAD as the price OF con-
version.
AS a second means out OF the diff
ficulty. Judge Dancy mentioned the
possibility of taking the money for
the two projects from the genera
countrywide fund for roads and
bridges, arising from fines and auto
mobile licenses, supplemented by
the issuance of county warrants.
According to estimates by W. Q
Washington, county engineer. who
was also present, the cost OF the
paving of the Boca Chica road
would be about 100000 Should ar
agreement with the Harrington dis-
trict be reached, allowing the L.
suance Of the remaining bonds, the
percentage due the Brownsville pre-
cinct would be about $64O,OOO, thus
leaving after paving Of the Boca
Chica road, $4,000 Or enough tc
fill the first of the gaps on the
Military highway. .
Judge Dancy expressed himself
as not favoring the creation OF the
special road district to handle paw
ing of the Boca Chica project, ex-
cept as a last resort. He said tina
5 IL per cent district bonds would
not bring as good a return as the
S per cent county bonds.
He called especial attention to the
Importance of the completion OF the
Military highway, saying that
within a year or two he expects tc
see Harlingen the meeting point fol

Banking Facts for Boys and Girls.
By John Y. Beaty, Editor The Bankers Monthly

81 NADDY, who owns our bank?" asked Clara
Ecnson as she and her father drove
away from the First National one day after
making a deposit in Clara's savings account
Our bank was started by a number of bust
ness men in this town." answered her father,
because they needed place where they might
store their money safely, and because they
ne9ded an arrangement whereby they might
make of the surplus funds of the people
of the town
Let suppose, for example, that Mr..
Shelley, the hardware man, needs more money
than he has on hand to purchase his stock
of hardware for the coming season. If there
were no banks here, he might have difficulty
in securing the necessary money. 1xe might
be able to borrow little from one man and
a little from another until he had accumulated
enough, but you will realize that this would
be lot of bother and take lot of time where
with the bank, he simply goes to the cashier
or the president and borrows whatever amount
he may need whenever he needs it. The trans
action occupies only a few minutes and the
money is borrowed just across the street from
his store.
In the same way Mr.. Andrews, the furniture
man, needs to borrow money at certain times
of the year to purchase furniture.
And so the grocer and the butcher, the dry
goods merchant, and the blacksmith and the
garage man all need money at times when they
do not have ready cash Of their own.
These men, therefore, need a bank in order
to conduct their business. On the other hand,
there are people in town, including these very
men, who at times have more money than they
need for immediate use. Naturally, they want
a safe place to put their money SO that th:y
will not need to worry about its being stolen
from them.
Farmers Need Funds.
"Then too, there are the farmers You will
remember last year that wanted new binder
