IT is OUR SINCERE DESIRE that the city of
Brownsville have a REAL park, convenient to our stead
lily increasing residents and a point of attraction to our
constant flow of tourists. We offer the perfect location
for such a park, a tract of $50 acres adjacent to Los Eb-
amos on Palm BoulevardHa site Of such natural advan-
tages that even minimum improvements would make the
most beautiful park in the Southwest.

IS 1T REASONABLE r OBELIEVEt that a tract Of one
hundred sixty acres, situated within a mile of the business
district of Brownsville and directly in the line of develop
ment, will long remain unimproved? Is it reasonable to
suppose that the value of such a tract will EVER be less
than it is NOW? The opportunity for the economic pur.
chase of this natural parksite is gradually slipping away.
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1930-11-19

THAT by disregarding civic development, Brownsville
can establish herself as a Keystone city of the Southwest
or even maintain her present position among her sister
cities of the Valley. The need Of a beautiful, spacious
park for Brownsville is OBVIOUS. The purchase of the
site for such a park should be made NOW-at a time
when it can be done most economically and while the
ONLY easily access ihe and naturally adapted location
is available.

the American Chemical Society

The metal, swathed In the ro-

was announced today by Or.

according to the eminent scientist,
also marks q distinct advance in
the treatment Of tropical and
social diseases. Dr.. Myers said:
"AntimOny IL 40 perfect q

Of being both harmless to the

DR.. Myers related the long and

Three-POwer Treaty
Said to Cut u. S. Navy
Tonnage by 25O,OOO

The three-power treaty being
negotiated at the London Dis
armament Conference was said
today to be satisfactory to PreSi-
dent Hoover. No tonnage figures
in the agreement reached by the
United States with Great Britain
and Japan have been made pub
lie here, but it is apparent they
have been made available to
leaders in Congress.
Representative French (R0 Of
Idaho, chairman Of the House
Naval subcommittee on appropria-
tionS, after a conference with the
President late yesterday. said the
agreement SlaSheS construction OF
all categorieS Of fighting craft
250, 900 tons below the minimum
figure proposed at the Geneva
parley in 1927.
Unofficial tonnage figures
under the three-power agreement
cabled from London would indi-
cate that the Presidents original
plan of achieving parity in fight
ing strength through the heavier
type of cruiSers-those of the
1O,000-ton class favored by Ameri-
can naval expertS-had been con-
siderably modified.
These figures provide tonnage
for the fleets of Great Britain,
Japan and the United States as
follows:
United States and Great Bri.
tain, is battleShipS each: Japan 8.
In cruisers, the United States
would have a total tonnage Of
323. 500; Great Britain 339 500,
and Japan, 20S,900. This country
would have 18 Of the eight-inch
gun 10,O00-ton type: Great Brit
ain. IS, and Japan IL, and Of the
six-inch gun smaller tonnage type,
the United States, 143,5OO tonSi
Great Britain 10000 and Japan
1OO. .450.
The United States would have
10000 tons Of destroyerS, rs
would Great Britain, and Japan
would have los, 500.
The submarine tonnage would
be 52,700 each for Great Britain
and the United States, and S2,.

FILIPINO ENTRY
SEEN As PERIL

Supporting the bill Of Repre-

fornia, which would bar Philippine
immigration to the United States.
y. 8. Webb, attorney general of
California, told the House Imni-
grafton Committee, that while the
Philippine Islands fly the Ameri-
can flag its people are not Amer
lean citizens.
The United States is not bound
by duty or law to allow FilipinoS
to enter this country in unre-
Stricted numbers, he said. He
termed the Filipinos unaSSimilable,
and said that unless kept out Of
the country they would undermine
American employment and turn
the west coast itself into an alien
land. ~
The measure faces stormy seas,
and committee officials have
promised speedy action on it.
Patriotic organizations on the
West Coast have indorsed the
bill, while the State Department
has declared it would result in
serious Philippine trouble.

BY the time the signing takes

fact the French are not entirely

The Italians also are raising
some objections to a2athods of

agreement. These methods, they
hold, originally depended entirely
upon complete agreement being

In spite Of these objections,
however, reactions from Paris

House Refusal to Give Power
! Over 8 Divisions Of Bureau
Shows Widespread Revolt

President Hoover's promise TO
reorganize the Federal govern
inelat. which also is . campaign
pledge OF his party, was danger
ousiy near the rocks today after
the House had temporarily, at
least. taken the heart out Of .
bin to consolidate veterans activ-
tiles.
This measure, the first re-
organization bill having nothing
to do with prohibition, was pro-
claimed by Administration leaders
as the foreruYIner OF q drastic
sslashing Of Federal red tape"
which would save millions Of dol
lars g year. @
Efforts will be made by Ad-
.ininistration leaders of the House
TO repair the damage to the bill
of Representative Williamson

House refused to give a proposed
new administrator of veterans
affairs blanket authority to re-
organize the Veterans Bureau.

Opposition Strong
Although they may be able to
reverse the decision, the House
fight disclosed widespread op-
position among both Republicans
and Democrats to. a recasting OF
Government departments.
The Williamson bill. proposed
TO lodge supreme power over
veterans reorganization in the
President. It Is claimed by the
expenditures committee that
more than 100000 q year
would be saved in administration
alone.
While large part Of the op-
position was based upon q be-
lief that the consolidation would
upset the Pension Bureau. many
members based their opposition
on the ground that it would give
q world war agency authority
over the administration Of Civil
and Spanish-American war activ-
tiles.
Several other bills for re-
organization of various govern
mental departments now are
pending, but in view Of the
House attitude on the veterans
bill they are likely to be shelvcd.
