STEEL MER GER PLAN STIRS
CIVIC FOR CES OF YOUNGSTOWN
Fight Against Bethlehem and Sheet and
Tube Combine Grows Bitter as Date
for Proxy Count Nears.

This writer called on Cyrus Stephen
Eaton, who is here from Cleveland to
direct the anti-merger fight. Mr.. Eaton,
once a brokerage house clerk, went in
for banking and took the Republic
Steel Co. and ran it up to a $3.50, 00o,-
900 concern, the third largest steel COM
pany in the United States. Within the
last three years Mr.. Eaton has famed
up like one Of his own blast furnaces
in his skilled and daring financial en-
terprises. He was ready to talk ur-
banely and pleasantly about anything
except the steel merger.
Position Of Opponents.
The inquirer, however. was directed
to another responsible person, who sum-
married the position Of the merger OPP
ponents as follows:
The Bethlehem offer of one and one
third shares for one of Youngstown is
not enough. One and two-thirds would
have been more plausible, but even this
would not have been enough. Youngs-
town has not missed @ dividend in 80
years, while Bethlehem has paid only
one dividend in the last six years.
The Republic and youngstown COM
panies in cooperation could carry
through the canalization project which
would give Youngstown an outlet to
both Lake Erie and the Ohio. Pro-
ponents of the merger have urged that
only the Bethlehem company could
carry this through.
youngstown Sheet & Tube is ideally
located to supply automobile steel to
Cleveland, Toledo, Flint, Detroit and
other centers Of automobile manufac-
turing. 1t already supplies so per cent
is moving Westward. YOUNGSTOWN does
not need an Eastern outlet. It can
thrive on Western and Midwestern de-
mand"

figures for 1890 Reduced in
View Of Kellogg Pact and
other Peace Steps.

b the Associated Press.
LONDON. March 6.-British naval
estimates for 1890, made public today
show q net total of G51. 73o. 900, against
E55 1866 900 for 1929, or q reduction Of
Ga. 900. The British pound has .
value of about $4.S6.
A, v. alexander, first lord OF the ad-
miralty, in a statement accompanying
the estimates, said the substantial de-
crease was due principally to reductions
which the government felt justified IN
making in the shipbuilding program OF
1928 and 1929, in accordance with .
policy already stated in Parliament;
that is, trimming of naval building to
meet decreased needs produced by the
Kellogg pact and other peace mstru-
ments.
He summarized the reductions as fol-
lows: Five vessels of the 1928 program
have been Cancelled, namely, two cruis-
ers Of the 1o,O0O-ton type, with s-inch
guns; two submarines and one subma-
rine depot ship.
1929 Boats Cancelled.
Twelve vessels of the program of 1929
have been Cancelled, namely, two
cruisers, four torpedo boat destroyers,
three submarines, two SloopS and one
net-layer and target-town vessel. One
Of the cruisers Cancelled Is OF the
10 OOO-ton type with 8-inch guns.
He said that in addition decision
whether the three remaining submarines
of the 1929 program are to be proceeded
with has been deferred until after the
London Naval Conference.
Mr.. Alexander claimed that the erect

preceding two years Is ito reduce ex-
penditure on new construction In these
estimates by over $4,000 600"
with regard to future shipbuilding, he
said the government had decided not
to formulate any proposals until the
results of the Naval Conference had be-
come known and had been fully con-
sidered.
AIexander'S Statement.
"No provision" he said, therefore Is
included in these estimates for COM
mencing any further new construction
in 1890. AS soon as the government Is
In a position to inform Parliament OF
their intentions q statement viii be
made on the subject and II necessary q
supplementary estimate will be sub
mitted. 1t should be noted, too, that
in the case of three submarines which
will remain in the program pending
final decision after conclusion OF the
Naval Conference. these estimates do
not provide for any expenditure.
IF it should be found necessary to
proceed with them Parliament will be
asked later to make an additional pro-
vision as required"
Reduction in naval personnel also
was forecast. In 1929 there were SO, 800
officers and men, but as Q result OF
economies that number now proposed
to be reached by April, 1890, is 81 ,05O.
This Is expected to fall to $4,000 by
April, 1891.
Regarding new construction It was
stated that the revised 1929 program
consists now Of one 0-inch-gun cruiser,
one leader four destroyerS, four SloopS
and one tender to H. M. s. Vernon.

FORD SAYS WORK
TO END PROBLEMS
Machinery, Chemistry and
Education Held Best Agen-

BY REX Safer,
Auxortn tad preSS Stan Writer


FORT MYERS, Fla, March 60
luton of the farm problem, like almost
every other economic difficulty, lies IN
work, which Is remedy for all things,
Henry Ford asserted in an interview
at his Winter home here.
Machinery, chemistry and education
of the farmer toward intensive produce
ton are the best agencies Of relief, Mr.,
Ford said
"As far as that goes, mass produc-
ton viii be as much an agency as any
thing else. but all agencies must be
co-ordinated and operative with each
other" he said.
The manufacturer was asked If mass
production might not lead in short
time to overproduction.
Certainly not" he responded, "over-
production OF foodstuf1s Will automati.
cally be eliminated by development Of
by-products."
Looks to Chemistry.
Search for and development of by
products will bring chemistry into the
limelight as an agency for lettering
conditions. Mr.. Ford pointed out.
Any system of restriction OF labor,
pending development of a market for
increased production of foodstuffs, is a
step in the wrong direction, Mr. Ford
declared.
II nave always been against restricted
production. In fact our company
fought one patent for seven years be-
cause it tended to restrict production
Of automobiles" he said.
If this is a machine age, then Henry
Ford believes that it is an age that
must be directed by man. No man or
woman, he said, will fail to md plenty
of work if he looks for 1t.
"yVhat about the automatic machines
that are replacing men In plants ana
factories?" he was asked.
who's going to make machlnesF
was his question in reply.
The manufacturer Tecounted at
length his ideas on work.
Machinery, Chemistry and Study.
'I believe every man could double
his labor output If he tried, and on
condition that he used intelligence in
selecting his method Of operation for
the increased production" he explained,
If the farmer believes he cannot
crowd more work into o 24-hour day
then he must turn to machinery, to
chemistry and to a study OF production
on a more intensive scale, Mr.. Ford
said.
He recently returned from visit to
his plantation near Savannah, Ga
There. he said, his forces are expert
menting with q series of farm products
and a system of planting that will make
each acre of land produce three crops

PEACE PROPAGANDA
HELD BACK OF Plan ]. N
StimsOn's Statement Said to
Contain No Threat
Significance. 81
By PAUL SCOTT MowRER.


BY Radio to The Star and Chicago Daily
News. Copyright 1890.
LONDON, England, March ct has
been learned that Secretary of State
Stimson's statement that the confer
ence would reduce the American feet
by 100000 tons was hastily prepared
and issued late yesterday on receipt OF
advices from home that the propa-
gandA of peace societies In favor of a
real reduction" was gaining strength
For this reason no special significance
Is attached to the alleged threat" t.
France which the statement contained
In the sentence: "Of course, these re-
auctions are contingent upon some re-
auctions In the fleets Of the other
powers"
Our policy heretofore has been to try
to hold the British down to the rapidar
figures whatever the French do anC
cover the situation by inserting 9
clause in q possible three-power treaty
to consult in case any other power
France being meant-goes on building
Ask for Free Hand.
The British have replied that to con-
suit would be insufficient because II
would give US the veto power over Their
self-conferred right to build two to one
against France, and have asked Q
clause leaving them q free hand. We
have refused this on the ground that
our Senate would disapprove.
In any case, the StimSon statement
marks the abandonment Of our effort
to keep the British to the rapidar
figures regardless Of the French. The
statement is being somewhat criticized
today on the grounds that It is untact-
full and not likely to bring good results
to publish this threat" in the absence
Of the French and on the very eve OF
their return to London.
Under proposed tentative readjust-
ments, 1t appears that our actual fight-
ing strength would be considerably in
creased, for we would improve and
strengthen the capital ships we retain
and have fine new cruiser feet, while
destroyerS and submarines do not take
Is long to build aS the larger types, and
In case of war we could be turning them
out in considerable quantities within the
FIRST few months.
Japan Has Built Most.
incidentally, figures compiled here
bring out the significant facts that OF
all the five naval powers 1t Is Japan
which has actually built most since the
Washington conference and the United
States which has built the least. The
table Of tonnage laid down since 1872
stands thus:
n1A
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-03-06
UnIted States

Thus the United States, while claim
ing parity with Great Britain, has al
lowed itself to be outbuilt steadily by.
Great Britain in all classes of auxiliary
ships, cruisers, destroyerS and subma-
rineS. Our tonnage laid down consists
of $4,000 tons of submarines and $780,
600 tons of o-inch-gun cruisers, most of
which has only recently been started.
In other words, our naval effort during
the last eight years has been inferior
even to Italy's and only about half that
Of Japan.
