SENATE TO DECIDE
BIG NAVY ISSUE
Vote Within Next 10 Days to
Determine Course OF
House Leaders.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associa ted Press.
Whether 100 new ships should speed
down the ways and join the Navy with
in the next 10 years will be decided by
Congress shortly
House proponents of a Navy as big
as treaties permit are depending on the
outcome of Senate vote to decide their
future action.
In the Senate the Hale bill, which
would authorize Navy of treaty size,
is the next order of business 1t is
likely to he taken up within a week or
10 days. The ballot on this bill will
decide for Chairman Vinson of the
House Naval Committee whether to
press him program, which would au-
thorize the construction of l20 new
vessels.
NinsOn Favors Own Bill.
Vinson however, still thinks the Sem
ate bill would have little chance in the
House. 1t would approve the idea of
treaty Navy, but not specify the ships
that should be built letting the Presi-
dent make annual requests for appro-
priations
The House, Vinson thinks, would pre-
fer more specific program, such as his,
with its outline of year-by-year con-
struction under which 120 new vessels
would be built in 10 years. The Vinson
bill also would require annual appro-
priations. but these would have to be
along the line of the authorization.
Vinson figures his bill would cost the
Navy S616.250000 spread out over 10
years and beginning with $18,001 900 in
the next fiscal year. Under the Hale
bill. different classes of ships could be
appropriated for. so that to get treaty
Navy the President might ask annual
allotments totaling as much as a bill
lion dollars.
Holds Fate of Both.
Wilson's bill places definite limit
on the amount that can be appropri-
sted, the bill by Chairman Hale of the
Senate Naval Committee does not.
But the vote on the latter will decide
the fate of both. The House Naval
Committee, with one dissenting vote.
has approved Wilson'S bill, but tabled it
temporarily because of an appeal from
Democratic and Republican leaders for
authorization of only the most necessary
expenditures. At any time the commit
tee can report the bill out for action by
the House.
Vinson feels that If the Senate ap-
proves the Hale bill "the fight for a
treaty Navy is over"

BY The ASsnciateh PreSs

By the Associated Press.

death from the top Of Battle Rock last

HYDE TO DISCUSS
!. S. FARM LOANS
Address in Radio Forum to
Touch important Pub
lie Issue.

Loans to farmers by the Department
of Agriculture during the depression
and the drought period will be discussed
by Arthur NJ. Hyde, Secretary of Agri-
culture, in the National Radio Forum
over the National Broadcasting Co. S
Nationwide hook-up. arranged by The
Evening Star next Wednesday night at
1890 o'clock.
Interest Is Widespread.
Because Of the magnitude of the loans
made by his department since 1929 and
the fact that Secretary Hyde recently
referred to his department as the prize
boob" in the history of finance, the dis
cussion Of this subject at this time will
be of more than ordinary interest
Outstanding in these huge loans to
farmers are the appropriations by the
last Congress, amounting to SGT 900 600,
for relieving farmers who suffered from
the drought, and S5o.000, 900 appropri-
ated and made available during the
present session of Congress to assist the
farmers who are in need of funds be-
cause of economic conditions. The lat
ter money was appropriated in connec-
tion with the appropriations for the Re-
construction Finance Corporation. Be-
sides that amount. which already is
available, Secretary Hyde will have
S25 100000 additional for this same
purpose at his disposal on July l.
Secretary Musters Facts.
Because of this so-called emergency
situation" the Department of Agricul-
ture has, in the opinion of Secretary
Hyde become a regular loan agent. The
loans have been made. according to
him, on thinner security than ever be-
fore in money lending in the world. In
this radio address Mr.. Hyde will en-
deavor to give the Nation some idea
of the number and the nature Of these
loans and something of the extent and
the collateral the department has re-
ceived as well as the loans already sus-
tanned.

upon evading the law. The committee
thought, and has not changed its judg-
ment, that the long period of five years.
over which this readjustment was to be
made. would easily enable the banks
TO replace themselves in a sound re-
serve status; but the concensus of
opinion in the committee was that this
requirement was not sufficiently i'm
portant at this time to endanger in
the slightest degree a banking measure
embracing many vital reforms. For
the same reason we omitted the Federal
Reserve Boards velocity proposal
which may be brought to the attention
of the Congress later in a separate
bill
The administrative features of the
bill relating to investment affiliates and
holding company affiliates were modi-
fed in some particulars to obviate GER
tain objections that had been sug-
geSted; but with the important changes
that have been indicated the measure
remains fundamentally unaltered in its
constructive and corrective features.
The action of the Senate Banking and
Currency Committee was far from per-
functory; it approved the bill heartily
as perhaps the most important bank
ing legislation proposed since the adop-
tlon of the Federal Reserve act"
Asked whether members of the Fed
eral Reserve Board approved the bill,
Senator Glass said he had been as
sured by some of them that they did
and regarded it as an important step
forward
The Virginia Senator introduced the
first measure looking to changes of a
comprehensive sort IN the Federal Re-
serve act and the national banking laws
June II, 1880 His insistence on legis-
latlon grew largely out of what he
conceived to be the abuses in banking
preceding the 1929 crash.
The bill as reported" he said YES
terday. prohibits the use of Federal
Reserve facilities for the financing of
speculation. The law has prohibited it
for years, in fact, but now it is pro-
posed that 1t shall be enforced. It will
accomplish just what the resolution
OF the Senate had in mind when it di-
rected the committee to recommend
legislation to correct evils as to stock
speculation. It will do that unless
dreadfully maladministered It will
curb use of Federal Reserve facilities
to finance stock speculation"
Chairman Norbeck of the committee
and Senators Brookhart of Iowa and
Blaine OF Wisconsin, both Republicans,
reserved the right to oppose the pro-
vision extending general branch bank
ing privileges.
