Delegates Draft Tentative
Schedules for Session
Next Week.
BATTLESHIPS CUT TO IS
British Proposal to Slash
Aircraft Carriers Is
Given Opposition.
BY RAYMOND CLAPPER
United Press staff CORRESPONDENT

LONDON, Feb. 8.-With the Brit
ish and American major proposals
for naval parity and reduction OF
armament before them, the FIVE
power experts turned their atten-
ton today to discussion of the COM
paratively minor problem, previous
ly raised by France, of warship
classif1cations.
The principal delegates, In ac-
cordance with their weekend Gus
tom, rested.
The experts went into session at
10 a. m, and will endeavor to draft
tentative schedules of the various
types of warships, from battleships
to small auxiliaries and submarines,
for presentation at the plenary ses-
sion Of the conference next Tues
day.
When the conference has agreed
upon the claSsifications, the ques-
ton Of splitting up the total ton
mage permitted each nation among
these types will be discussed.
In Practice Agreement
In most naval circles it Is agreed
that Henry L. Stimson's exposition
of the American position, and Pre-
nlier j. Ramsay MacDonald'S out
line OF the British scheme reveal
that both nations are in practical
agreement as to the main detectives
immediate battleship reduction to
fifteen ships, and a sliding arrange
ment for cruiser strength.
If no other agreement were made
than on this basis, the Americans
would consider the tlve-power con-
ference complete success, for the
arrangement would save millions of
dollars and end, regarding cruisers,
dangerous rivalry.
MacDonald's suggestion regarding
cutting battleships to $4,000 tons is
considered academic 50 far as the
present conference is concerned, in
view of the probability of building
holiday until the next conference.
Opposition Voiced
Some opposition to the British
suggestion for reduction of aircraft
carrier tonnage from 135, 900 to 100,-
900 was heard today from some OF
the American advisers. 1t was point
ed out that this would leave little
room for development by the United
States of modern types of carriers.
The United States already has built
Sc 900 tons in this class, leaving only
$4,000 tons available for future de-
velopment. This is equivalent to
two small carriers.
Great Britain, by contrast, has
built only $4,000 tons, and could
build, under the Macdonald pro-
posal, $1,000 tons more, possibly
three additional ships in all.
It also was pointed out that Great
Britain at least has fifty merchant
ships capable of conversion to air.
craft carriers, while the United
States and Japan have only about
fourteen each.

Sparks from the Texas Industrial
Anvil

William G.. Edwards of Dallas continues to furnish
the people with his weekly bulletin of building ac-
tiyities. There is plenty doing in the field of de-
velopment in Texas. Texans are told:
That not in many years has there been so much
activity among Texas railroads In extensions as now.
With the Texas and Pacific seeking permit for a 1888
mile extension into the Panhandle, with the Santa
Fess extension TO Del Rio soon completed TO furnish
Texas with direct communication as far into Mexico
as Chihuahua now and with Topobolampo on the
west coast by the first of the year, the Rock Island

Panhandle and South Plains area to about 1000
miles. including the 100 mile Denver Burlington ex-
tension from Childress to Pampa.

that will extend from the Texas Panhandle TO North
ern Illinois and viii serve SO cities win be buried be-
low the cultivation line SO that farm work will not
be interfered with and the companies interested have
seven trillion feet Of gas available in Texas and Ok

That development OF a new deep-water port at
Port Arkansas. together with the creation Of an indus
trial center. is the ultimate s10y000yO00 object Of a
group of Connecticut men who have purchased the
$500 600 properties Of the Arkansas Harbor Terminal
railway and Arkansas Dock and Channel company.
That bids on the 445O-acre $500 900 lake which
Dallas Power & Light company will build in Noun
tain Greek Valley, west Of Dallas, were received IN
September and construction will start early in the
fall; that a portion Of the short line will be used by
the city for a park: that the first unit Of the power
plant on the lake will be built as soon as the de-
mand approaches the capacity OF the present 81

That endowment OF $500 0O0 900 for the University
Of Texas from its oil royalties and bonuses alone IS
predicted within 40 years by the land commissioner
of Texas and in little more than seven years it has
received over si3. 900 from this source.
That Texas has one and a half times as many
farms as any two states in the union. or 465.6 z6, and.
furthermore. Texas has about IA per cent Of the
farms in the United States.
That the COOL ,101 citrus trees in the Lower Rio
Grande Valley represent with the land they occupy
a value OF sl43 600 600. an increase Of $4,000 over
that of a year ago and that last year s08.853 new trees
were put OUT in that area.

journals and then face about ard march with the
procession of wealth creators and wealth makers
