What has not been heretofore SUM-
GENTLY realized, save inside Government
circles, Is that the great fleets with
which the United States and Great
Britain ended the World War are now
reaching their age limits and that mere
ly to replace them during the next few
years in small cruisers, deStroyers and
submarines will require considerable
financial effort. Yet they must be re-
placed If they are not to become mere
floating junk. Furthermore, to reach
parity with Great Britain, especially in
big cruisers, the United States must
carry out large program Of new con-
struction. Other striking conclusions
which can be deduced from the figures
which will be presented here are as
follows:
The cost of parity for the United
States is so considerable that there is
some doubt in inside circles whether
Congress will ever vote the actual sums
involved. Naturally. If serious danger
threatened there would be no question
or hesitancy In spending the money. but

HOOVER 'BALLYHOO'
HIT BY La TOILETTE
Senator Says Nothing Has
Been Done to Remedy
Unemployment.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Senator La Toilette, Republican in
dependent, Wisconsin, asserted in the
Senate today that President Hoover had
done nothing to remedy the unem-
ployment situation" and that "optimis-
tic ballyhoo statements" on employment
had been issued by the Executive.
The Wisconsin Senator said that
while Secretary Of Commerce. Mr. Hoo
yer used that great organization to
improve and speed up mass produc-
tion," and while no one could criticize
that action every one knew "it would
create q great human problem"
Concrete Steps Lacking"
Since that time, La Toilette added,
Mr.. Hoover and the Republican party
had taken no concrete steps to remedy
the situation.
La Follette's remarks followed a
speech by Senator Golf, Republican,
West Virginia, who had opposed tamper-
ing with present industrial tariffs where
no evidence had been adduced before
congressional committees on the par
ticular commodities.
Golf called attention to reports that
400 unemployed marched recently in
the streets of Milwaukee and said from
recent happenings it would seem the
country needed prosperous industries
and no tinkering with existing in
dustrial duties.
Regularity" Questioned.
The Wisconsin Senator replied by
questioning Senator COTS regularity"
in view of statements on business and
employment issued by Government
sources
The consumer will be bound, gagged
and delivered" he asserted, IF the
attitude of the Senator from West
Virginia and others Is carried out"
La Toilette said every day we get
statements that business conditions are
better" adding:
IT don't think 1t lies in the mouth
Of any Republican in this chamber to
talk about unemployment when the
Republican party has done nothing
about remedying the situation"
He said steps to collect accurate
statistics on unemployment had been
rejected In order that Optimistic
ballyhoo statistical statements might be
issued to the public"

Representative Celler, Democrat. New

an amendment to the eighteenth

Despairing of repeal of the eighteenth
amendment as well nigh hopeless in
our present political situation" the New
Yorker said it was a method to Salvage
the country from its present disgrace.
The Celler amendment intends that
Congress would not f,rce uniform pro-
hibition. It would authorize, he said
but would not compel uniform prohibit
ton, but, on the other hand, would give
Congress the right to regulate"
1T seems to be well nigh universally
admitted that the country is divided
INTO about seven or eight areas within
each Of which the customs and habits
OF the people are dissimilar," Celler con-
tinued. No statute can be enforced
unless In any one of such areas there
Is a uniformity of sentiment and sane
ton on the part of the people. Where
there is a lack of uniformity in sem
timent and sanction, the law cannot
