F. R. WILL STAND PAT ON
NAVY OF TREATY STRENGTH
Uneasiness Abroad Not to
Affect American
\ b. Program 49,.
By FREDERICK A. STORM
United Press Staff CORRESPONDENT

WASHINGTON, ept. 10. (UP),
President Roosevelt will stand
pat on his program to bring the
navy up to treaty strength, de-
spite uneasiness abroad, it was
indicated strongly last night.
This view was expressed in face
of reports that foreign powers
were inclined to regard the
American warship construction
program as a threat to success
of the Geneva arms conference
and that at least one nation had
suggested a delay in a part OF
the building program.
The state department denied
London reports that Great Bri-
tain has asked the United States
to suspend it's whole building
program but would not comment
further.
Observers conversant with Brit
ish naval policy considered 1t
probable that London had sug,
gested only the suspension OF
work on the 10000 ton 6-inch
gun cruisers recently ordered
Britain favors a reduction in the
unit tonnage of large cruisers
and it is known would be vastly
pleased if the United States
would devote it's remaining cruis-
err tonnage under the London
treaty to vessels of about 7OOC
tons.
The British are understood tc
feel that if the United States
builds it's full quota of 10000
ton ships. it will, by 1885, when
the next naval conference meets
have so many of them that the
British and japanese cannot con
slider their deletion from future
building programs. ,.
Friends of the administration
meanwhile. expressed surprise a
European tension over this coun
trv's naval plans in view OF the
fact that both Britain and Japar
have been engaged in since l9Zz
in steady building of tonnage al
lowed under the Washington
treaty.
In this connection, it was ex
planned that the administrator
looked upon it's newly. authorized
program-part of the re-empl0y
ment recovery drive-as who'll!

power naval agreement and a.

It was recalled that in his con

Extreme difficulty in putting

The cabinet at an extraordinary

The assembly is to be convoked
on May 20, 1884.

ment," ignored references abroad
that he was expected to resign be-
fore the end of the week. He is
paying no attention to these or
other reports circulated by the
bitter opposition to his revolution
airy administration.
His answer was the cabinet de-
cision and a further announce
ment of changes in his cabinet
secretaries.
President San Martin, who for
the last two weeks since he was
swept into office by the revolt
of the sergeants' has been living
at his private residence, began
preparations for moving into the
presidents palace-a move inter-
preted as indicating his belief he
will be in power indefinitely.
Opposition leaders predicted his
early overthrow. due to increas-
ing labor unrest and anti-Ameri-
can demonstrations in the prov
inces, but the professor-president
remained optimistic and mistaken.
He announced that the cabinet
intends to create a commission TO
draft a new constitution to serve
as the basis for discussion at the
constitutional assembly meeting
scheduled next May. The plan is
similar to that followed on the
formation of republic in Spain.
