HOOVER NAVY FIGHT
.LAUDED BY CAPPER
Senator Says Midwest "AI-
most Unanimously" Sup
ports Reduction.
BY the Associated Press.


TOPEKA, Kans., November 9.-The
Midwest was described yesterday by
Senator Arthur Capper, Republican,
Kansas, as almost unanimously" ap-
proving President Hoovers naval pro-
gram, which includes an appropriation
slash of $66,000,000.
Commenting upon the report of the
Hoover appointed committee whieh
found William Howard Gardiner, presi-
dent Of the Naval League, had uttered
many inaccuracies" in an attack upon
the administrations naval policy, Sen
ator Capper said "the President has no
desire to cripple the Navy"
Neither has the Middle West" he
continued. I'VE have understood all
the time that the Navy Department
is in accord with the Presidents pro-
gram: the attack Of the Navy League
was not justified II any degree.
Sees Selfish Interest.
"It should be understood and remem-
bered that the Navy League includes
in its membership those who sell steel
and others commercially interested in
the profits from armament building.
These have q selfish interest to over
ride their loyalty to their country and
their own regard for the truth.
The fact is, we have had this same
kind Of fight from the Navy League
false statements, misconstructions of
Government reports, half truths hooked
up with barefaced falsehoods-every
time we have tried to hold down ex-
penditures for the Navy to a reasonable
limit.
Cites Army Reduction.
''Tt might be mentioned that the Army
budget was reduced $40, 100000 almost
without question-there is no CONNER
cial organization, such as the Navy
League, boosting big Army appropria-
tons.
The pity Of 1t is that in the past the
Navy League has imposed on the public,
especially along the seaboard, as a pa
triotic organization. The country
should be grateful to President Hoover
for having torn of its mask and showed
it to us as the greedy commercial or
ganization that it is-seeking to make
excessive profits from the Government
for steel and Shipbuilding companies
under the plea Of super patriotism"

HOOVER KEPT BUSY
AS SESSION LOOMS
Grandi Farley Soon Is Added
to Tasks of Message and
Legislative Plans.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The always exacting month before
Congress conveneS, during which lie
must determine finally the administra-
tons attitude toward tax increases, is
upon President Hoover in full force.
In addition, he must take time out
from domestic matters to renew inter-
national conversations. Foreign Min
lister Dino Grandi of Italy is to arrive
next Monday to take up discussions OF
the world problems of economics and
disarmament.
Must Shape Legislative Plans.
During these next four weeks Presi-
dent Hoover must round out his legis-
lative program, to which he has already
given much consideration. He must
shape his message to Congress. teeming
this year with economies. Dozens of
returning Senators and Representatives
will seek him out-some merely to pay
their respects and others bearing diff
culties to be confronted.
His Republican National Committee
has been called into full session almost
simultaneously with the converting of
Congress to select a city, for the next
nominating convention. And. into all
of this furry, Vice President Curtis has
decided to drop late this month his de-
cision whether he will seek renomina-
ton or ask Kansas to return him to
his old seat in the Senate.
1t will be portentious In its bearing
on President Hoover's probable quest
for reelection.
The next few days before the arrival
Of the Italian statesman will see tax
and other fiscal questions brought to
the fore at the White House. Only the
Armistice day celebration, as a part of
which he may speak, will break to any
extent Mr. Hoover's application to
questions for submission to Congress.
Before the President are various pro-
posals from members of his own party
for increasing revenues, some calling
for sales taxes. He himself has been
represented as feeling the income tax
laws need readjusting.
Deficit Rises as Revenues FAN.
During the first four months of the
fiscal year revenues have shown a
sharp decline, with a consequent rise
in the Federal deficit This now totals
over 1861 100000. A continuance at
this rate would bring deficiency of
nearly $4,000, 100000 by next July.
Last week the President announced
a slice of $350.000,000 from 1888 budget
estimates for the Government depart
ments, but even with these a gross
budget of around 1882 ,000, 900 is prob
able. He indicated some time ago that
his final decision upon the tax question
would be delayed until just before Con-
gresS convenes, to permit as much study
as possible of income receipts,

be allowed to reinStall some kind of
supervisory body which will have the
power to prevent Germany's repeating
the bankruptcy process two or three
years from now.
Foreigners have bitterly criticized the
apparent German desire forcibly to
convert short-term debts into long term
with reduced interest. They have point
ed to the high interest German credi.
Tors are regularly receiving. It is a
Iact that 1t Is more the internal than
the external debt burden which is
crushing the German business system.
Some students like this correspond
ent believe that, unless the present
oeptS are In some manner nghtened,
no German recovery Is possible. This
alienation could be obtained bv a rise
In world prices or by individual bank
ruptcies or by imitation or by q general
reduction Of internal interest rates
by fiat.
Germany is getting tired of waiting
Tor the first. The cabinet has not the
nerve or desire to accept the second
plan because it would mean a tenn
porary increase Of unemployment. The
government Is pledged not to permit
currency imitation, and, therefore. is
forced to consider interest reduction bv
legislation despite immense RESISTANCE
from all banking circles.
IL remains to be seen what will be
realized. The only certainty would
seem to be that the problem connected
with Germany'S uncertain position ia
coming steadily closer to solution.

World Bank Directors Expect Request
for Board.

BASEL. Switzerland, November Q Cp.
Directors of the Bank for Interna-
tional Settlements met for an hour to-
day and adjourned until December IA
apparently without having received any
request from Germany to set I'D q
board Of inquiry as authorized in the
Young plan to consider the rerarations
problem.
Financial authorities are watching
closely for such a move and when it
comes it is expected to be in the form
OF request for the establishment of
such board.
Assuming that the request is made.
the bank would create a committee
representing the central banks of the
United States, Germany, France, Great
Britain, Italy, Belgium and Japan. This
group would nominate four other
financiers representing interests espe-
c1ally concerned in reparations. and
these II men would form the inquiring
committee.
Today the directors set I'D a com.
mittee to- study the problem of pay
ments between the world bank and its
constituent national banks. It will con.
slider a proposal that such payments
shall be in gold or in gold values. This
rule is designed to eliminate profits and
losses due to fluctuations in national
currencies.

matching dollar for dollar.
1t is practical imposibility for all
the States to make such contributions
now. Some Of them are prohibited by
their constitutions, and in others it
would be impossible to raise the money.
In my opinion, we should issue Gov
eminent bonds in the amount of
$4,000 100000 This money could be used
during the next two or three years on
the bodybuilding program. BY that
time business should have recovered
and with it employment. I expect to
introduce a bill providing for such a
bond issue when Congress meets.
Idleness Called Terrible"
ut Is terrible thing for an able
bodied man who wants work to be COM
PEELED to accept charity. My plan
would obviate this. Furthermore, when
we give charity, the country, generally
speaking, gets no benefit from it. My
plan would give the country value re-
ceived for the money expended"
Senator Norris said his plan looked
to the future. He added that the Fed
eral Government should do its part
| this Winter by contributing money to
be used for charity.
II am in favor Of the Federal Gov
eminent making its contribution this
Winter. We had plan to use the Red
Cross to distribute Federal money to
the distressed last Winter in the
drought stricken sections of the coun-
try, but President Hoover rejected it.
The Red Cross, 1t occurs to me, is one
of the agencies which this Winter could
distribute Federal money to the unem-
ployed."
Senator Norris said he believes two
additional tax levies should be made to
provide money to pay the interest and
help retire the Government bonds,
which Senator Norris now proposes
There ought to be an increase In the
income tax on large incomes and an
increase in the tax on large Inherit
ances," he said. THE money so raised
should be put into a special fund to be
used to pay the charges on the bonds"
Senator Norris said he had not had
an opportunity to confer with other
members of the Progressive group in
the Senate in order to determine
whether another Progressive conference,
such as. that held here last March,
should be called this Fall He ex-
pressed the opinion, however, that prob
ably no such conference would be held
| now.
He said the people In the West who
mad good crops had food for the Win

would undoubtedly aid the farmers, he
said, although price Of 10 cents in
Chicago would not pay the cost of pro-
duction i'm Nebraska.
The people in the West, the Nebraska
| Senator said, were, generally speaking,
dissatisfied with President Hoover. He
attributed this in part to the depres-
sion, but he added that the West
doesn'tpay much attention to Mr.. Hoo
ver's appointment of commissions to
settle everything" He said he did not
see any reason for congressional investi-
cation into the controversy between the
President and the Navy League.

Thorough inquiry by Congress into
the whole naval situation was predicted
today by Senator Swanson, Democrat

However, he said that when the regular

whole naval situation will be investi-
gated thoroughly before anything Is

The Virginian, who is a stanch advo-

President Hoover and the Navy League.
