2. Architects and contractors,
including those who handle small

large commercial projects. are
going to find II more and more
necessary TO ally themselves with
real estate men and To render
better service by better under
standing of real estate economies.
3. The present tendency Is ap-
parently toward larger. better H.
ranced, more responsible home
builders and Subdividers.. On the
higher grade projects the services
Of architects are being used more
and more. In the less expensive
projects architects can probably
rendeA valuable service II they
take UP plot planning and cost

NAVY COMPROMISE
IS OFFERED FRANCE
British Suggest 8-InCh Cruis-
er Parity With Italy as
Negotiations Basis.

BY Radio to The star
PARIS, France, December S.--The
Franco-Italian naval negotiations, after
having faded out in Geneva, have sud-
denly again fiared onto the internA-
tional screen in the form OF . new
compromise proposal put forward by
British experts. This proposal, which
reached Paris last night, follows:
l. France and Italy would have seven
S-inch cruisers each.
2. In small cruisers and destroyers
there would be no new construction,
but only ton-for-ton replacement Of
superannuated units.
3. Submarine construction would be
stopped until 1885 with the completion
of the 1880 programs.
Offers Italy s-Inch Parity.
This proposal gives Italy parity in
S-inch cruisers and asks that France
agree to have only seven thereof, In
stead of the nine called for In the
French naval program by 1885. In
small cruisers and destroyerS as well
maintain its present wide margin of
superiority over Italy France can,
moreover, increase this superiority II it
likes by building 10000 tons OF new
capital ships authorized by the Wash
ington treaty which Italy is also au-
thorized. but is believed not to be in
financial or technical position 20 build.
The French government fell last night,
and IN any case it would not vet have
had time 10 examine the British pro-
posal, but information reaching the
Chicago Daily News from competent
quarters Is that the proposal will form
an acceptable basis for discussion as
far as France Is concerned. Further
more, French experts apparently con-
slider 1t opens the way to Horsepower
treaty If France accepts it, as seems
likely, and Italy refuses.
Italy May Talk Figures.
1t Is said to have been after the
italian experts received new instruc-
tons from Rome three days ago that
the British evolved the present COM
promise. 1t is suggested that under
the stress of the economic crisis and
moral pressure from Great Britain and
the United States. Italy perhaps Is now
more willing than heretofore to talk
actual figures instead of always bring
ing forward the principle OF absolute
parity.
It is noteworthy that the British pro-
posal Is so framed as to safeguard the
British policy of a two-power standard
vis-a-vis the continent, thereby in
surfing, If this proposal is accepted, that
the London naval treaty viii hold firm
until 1886.

LAMONT TO TELL
OF JOBLESS AID
Head Of Presidents Cabinet
Committee Will Explain,
Work to Radio Forum. }

Robert p. Lamont, Secretary of Com.
merce, Chairman of the President't
Cabinet Committee on Emergency EN-!
ployment, will give complete summary
of all that is being done to relieve. the
| unemployment situation and to give
| aid to those in actual distress, in ar
address he will make Saturday night In
! the National Radio Forum arranged bJ
The Evening Star to be broadcast ovet
a Nationwide hook-up of the Columbia
Broadcasting System. The speech will
be heard locally through WMAL.
Probably no person in the country,
not excepting President Hoover himself
is in closer touch with this problem
/ than Secretary Lamont. From the very
start, when Mr.. Hoover decided that thf
situation had reached such serious pro-
portions and that there was danger Of
many persons suffering physically this
coming Winter, and that something
must be done of q definite nature, Mr.
Lamont has been his field marshal.
Labors Co-ordinated.
Mr.. Lamont has directed the work OF
the special committee of SIX cabinet
to formulate and submit = plans To
strengthen the organization Of the Fed
eral activities to successfully meet the
situation and to bring about an effective
working organization with the state
county and municipality authorities,
The first step of this committee was to
make survey to determine just how
serious and far-reaching was the unem-
ployment situation. When this was
done Mr.. Lamont and his associates
mapped out a plan Of action which in
Guided the appointment of Col. Arthur
Woods of New York as director Of the
organization.
Besides being in charge of this vitality
important work Secretary Lamont has
been the Presidents constant adviser.
During this period he has been on con-
ference with the Executive virtually
every day and frequently several times
a day.
To Prevent Suffering.
Bearing in mind the Presidents words
when he appointed the Cabinet Unem-
/ ployFnsnt Commit As q Nation we
must prevent hunger and cold 70 those
OF our people who are In honest dimt
cnltiess Secretary Lamont has worked
indefatigably. His plans have already
resulted in q splendid response on the
part Of individuals as well as State,
county and municipality authorities.
This has made It possible for Mr.. La
mont to make effective a definite plan
of coordination and cooperation,
which, in the opinion of the President
himself, will greatly reduce unemploy-
ment and keep actual suffering down to
minimum during the Winter months.
Just how all this has been brought
about and just how the Federal Gov
eminent and the various other agen-
cies are cooperating and viii work to-

last November 4. The law creating the
Federal Power Commission provides
that not more than three of its MEM
bers be of the same political party. It
is presumed that President Hoover ap-
pointed McNinch as Democrat.
DR.. George Otis Smith, director of
the Geological Survey for many years,
is, the Presidents selection for chair
man of the Water Power Commission
No opposition to his appointment has
manifested itself so far. Senator Wat
son, a member of the Interstate Com
merce Committee, as well as the Re-
publican leader of the Senate, today ex-
pressed the view that Dr. Smith and
the other members of the Water Power
Commission appointed by the President
would In all probability be confirmed by
the Senate.
Bonner Opposition Likely.
Members Of the Interstate Commerce
Committee at their meeting today de-
clared that they would discuss in some
detail with the newly appointed Water
Power Commission the office of execu-
tive secretary Of the commission, which
has been held in the past by F. z.
Bonner. 1t was clear from the discus
sion in the committee today that Mr..
Bonner will have the opposition of a
number of the members of the COM
mittee for continuance in that office.
The Interstate Commerce Committee
ordered favorable reports today on the
denominations of Samuel E. Winslow
of Massachusetts, to be a member Of the
United States Board of Mediation and
of Frank McManamy to the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
Borah May Oppose Fletcher.
The Presidents appointees to the
United States Tariff Commission are TO
be before the Senate Committee on
Finance tomorrow. So far the only
indicated opposition runs to the NOM
nation of Henry P. Fletcher, chairman
Of the commission, and Edgar B. Bros
sard of Utah to be a member. Mr..
Fletcher is former Ambassador to Italy
and comes from Pennsylvania. 1t Is
understood that Senator Borah Of Idaho
may oppose his confirmation. Mr..
Brossard has been a member Of the old
Tariff Commission and has been under
fire in the Senate in the past.
The nomination of William N. Doak
of Virginia, to be Secretary OF Labor
is expected to come up for consideration
In the Senate on Monday. The nomina-
ton of Mr. Doak was reported favorably
to the Senate yesterday and Senator
Watson sought immediate confirmation,
Senator Couzens of Michigan, however,
asked that the rule be followed and that
the nomination go over for a day. Sem
ator Couzens did not indicate at the
time that he would oppose confirmation
of Mr.. Dcak.
The continuation of the new Secre-
tary of Labor by the Senate is conf
IDENTIFY expected. He has been the legis-
lative representative of the Brotherhood
of Railway Trainmen. President Green
of the American Federation Of Labor,
who urged President Hoover not to
appoint Mr.. Doak, but to appoint a
member Of the federation, has issued
a statement withdrawing opposition to
the appointment of Doak.
