A LIE n INFLUX
TACKLED

Both branchs Of Congress today
were battling over the age ques-
ton Of immigration.
In the House advocates Of the
bill Of Representative WEIGH (RJ
Of California, to bar Filipinos
from Americas shores were lined
up to force a showdown on the
floor when the measure energes
from the immigration committee
next week.
And in the Senate opposing
lines were drawn about another
restriction proposal, that of Sen.
ator Harris CD Of Georgia, which
would reduce the stream of Ameri-
can immigration from South and
Latin America and Mexico.
The position Of immigration on
the scheme Of American economic
life presented q striking contrast
to that it occupied back in 1776,
when the forefathers were draw
ing up the Declaration OF Inde'
pendence.
Then they were kicking over
the traces of English control part
.ly because the mother country
refused to throw the gates Of
American immigration open to all
the world.

ANNAPOLIS. April 12.-Au-
thorities Of the Anne Arundel
county public schools are investi-
eating a fight between a 14-year-
old boy, a student in the Pasa-
dena school, 10 miles north Of
here, and the principal Of the
school, in which the student was
apparently victorious.
The affair came to light today
when Frank Gunderoy, 46, prin-
cipal Of the school, was brought
to the Emergency Hospital here
for an X-ray examination to de-
tcrmine the extent Of his iniu-
rieS. Both Of his eyes were
blackened and his nose was
deeply cut when the boy is al
legged to have hit him in the
face with an inkwell. Examina-
ton showed that the nose was
not broken.
The boy was William HOOK,
H.. who is described as being
large and strong for his age.
The principal Is said to have re.
proved the boy in mathematics
class, with the result that the
student became offended and at
tackled Gunderoy. After a
lengthy Scuffle the boy is said
to have struck the teacher in
the face with the inkwell and
fled. About 20 pupils witnessed
tho row.
George Fox, county school Sill
perintendent, today refused to
comment on the affair other
than to say that he was inves-
tigating.

made to stand up. however, de-
pendS entirely on the French.
In his lengthy review Of the
accomplishment at London, Pres
ident Hoover did not mention the
contingency clause which the
three-power treaty between Great
Britain, the United States and
Japan will contain. That clause,
insisted upon by the British Ad-
miralty from the start, will per-
NIT the British and, Of course,
the United States, since parity is
to be maintained, to increase con-
struction commensurately with
the French.
II the French, who refused to
come into the agreement, now
proceed with the construction OF
a 724,000ton navy, as Premier
Tardieu has stated they would,
then the figures to be contained
in the three-power treaty auto
matically become liable to re-
vision-upward.
Thus, in the final analysis, it
all comes back to the French,
where the real problem has ex-
iSted all the time.
The United States will scrap
about $4,000 tons Of old battle
ships and some $4,000 tons of old
destroyers, rusting at their docks
since war days, but as against
this scrapping the United States
has to build some $50. 900 tons
of modern cruisers in order to
achieve parity with Britain.
Consequently, while some scrap
ping came out of the conference,
actually the American Navy in
1896 is to be considerably larger
in total tonnage than 1t now is.
The increase is necessary under
the principle of parity.
President Hoover said:
"The present agreement calls
for parity Of American and
British fleets Of approximately:
81. A battleship basis to each
Of MS Of about 46O, 900 tons, but
no replacements for the next
six years on their side.
'2. Air craft carriers IS In
the Washington Treaty at .
minimum Of 1SS,OOO tons.
"3. A cruiser basis Of $4,000
tons If the United States exer.
cises the option Of the same
types rs Great Britain but II
the United States builds larger
ratio Of the larger (S-inch)
cruisers, our tonnage would be
$4,000. 1t represents . requc-
tiOn Of about 20 ships in the
basis of the British cruiser fleet.
~. Destroyer tonnage OF
$4,000 tons and n submarine
tonnage of 52,7O0 tons each.
'"That Is q total fleet basis
Of, roughly, about 1,lS6.OO0
tons as compared with about
100000 ton British basis ut
the Geneva Conference, shows
q reduction Of about 364, eco
tons below that basis to the
United States and Great
Britain and = proportional re-
ductiOn to Japan.
'In bringing this about the
British scrap four S-inch gun
cruisers and five battleships
while we scrap three battle
ships. thus bringing about
parity In battIeships."
Further reduction, If any, will
have to await the 1895 Confer
ence, already set. The present
agreement negotiated at London
lasts only six years, and the
President is hopeful that at that
time the complicated politics OF
Europe will be more amenable to
what he has from time to time
characterized as real reduction"
