CONTRACTS
Saving Of $4,200,000 Seen If
Pacts With Ocean Lines
Are Abrogated
BY International News Service

Nv IntPfnaJ1OnhI news SefVlCo
The Government can save more
than $4,200,000 through cancella-
ton of ocean mail contracts held
by the Ward Line, operators of the
ill-fated Moro Castle, Peter j.
Connolly, Post Office counsel, to-
day told a department hearing on
operations of mail contractors.
The hearing was ordered by PTesi-
dent Roosevelt.
Mr.. Connolly charged the Ward
interests obtained a 10-year con-
tract in 1923 for carrying mail be-
tween New York and Havana with
out competitive bidding, and that
two routes were created for the
line between those points.
The Government, Mr.. Connolly
continued, will attempt to show
that the Post Office Department
paid the Ward Line $500, 900
more than it would have been re-
quired to pay had the mail been
dispatched over the routes on a
poundage basis.
He charged further that the line
received $597 900 in excess through
incorrect classification of two YES
sells constructed by the Ward Line.
These vessels were the MORO
Castle and the Oriente.

Carrying a cluster of brightly

yards of cord, Clifford Ian
ham, District superintendent of

delivered an ultimatum to the
starlings.
Specifically his S t a m e n t
was:

picion, and of costly competition,
with no real advantage to any
nation"
Mr.. Davis speech represented
the first public announcement
made by the United States con-
Cerning the naval situation since
the opening of the naval discus.
Sions here. 1t was made upon
instructions from Secretary of
State Hull at Washington and
was designed as last-minute
appeal to Japan to reconsider it's
declared intention to denounce
the Washington naval treaty.
Declaring the japanese plan
for full naval equality would not
give Equality of security" Mr..
Davis said:
"The principle adopted lin
the Washington treaty. was
that of equality of security.
Any basic alteration in this
system must of necessity alter
the security thus established.
"The fundamental issue in the
naval conversations now in
progress is essentially as follows:
Is the equilibrium that was
established by the system worked
out in the Washington treaties
to be continued or is it to be
upset?
FIRMLY BACKS TREATY
"The American Government
stands for continuance. The
only alternative that has so far
been suggested is that of a new
naval agreement based on the
principle of equality in naval
armaments, a principle which if
adopted and applied would not
give equality of security.
1--WE believe that only by
maintenance of the system of
equality of security, with pro-
portiOnate reductions downward
of naval strength if possible. can
there be maintained the sub
stantial foundation for security
and peace which has thus far
been laid"
ATTACKS JAPAN'S STAND
Taking Japan to task for it
assertion that the superiority o
the American and British navie
constituted a menace to its Sc
curity, Mr.. Davis declared nom
of the powers would have agreed
to the existing treaties if it fel
that "its national security wa
thereby menaced or impaired.
He called attention to the fac
that the United States abandoned
world naval predominance to en-
ter the Washington Treaty AM
noted significantly that the Wash
ington Conference was a success
because mo nation attempte
to impose it's will on the others.
Mr.. Davis also disclosed for tn
first time publicly that, as chic

SEPARATE BILL
CONSIDERED
NECESSARY
Amendment to Independent
Offices Measure Thought to
Be Out of Order

The problem of obtaining full
restoration of pay for Federal en-
ployes January l, 1885, is in
volved in a maze of parliamentary
red tape, it was disclosed on
Capitol Hill today.
It has been generally assumed
that a vote on the January / full
pay proposal could be obtained in
the House merely by an amend
ment being offered to the indie
pendent offices supply bill, as was
done last year.
Not Likely This Year
However, those familiar with
the problems of procedure pointed
out today that there probably
will be no pay cut provision car
ried in the bill this year, since
the President is expected to
recommend that the slash auto
matically expire July l, 1885.
Therefore, it was pointed out
today, an amendment in the
House calling for full restoration
on January l would be held out
of order, since it would be char
acterized as legislation on an ap-
preparations bill.
In Separate Measure
The probability is, therefore,
enactment of a separate measure
will be the only vehicle by which
Government pay could be restored
January l. This procedure makes
the pay cut problem more com.
plex, since relief for the Govern
ment workers now will have to be
brought before Congress either as
an amendment when the indepen.
dent offices supply bill goes to the
Senate or in separate bill.
That such bill will be offered
in the Senate is already assured
by the recent declaration of
Senator Pat McCarran CD) of Ne
Vada that he would carry the
cause of the Government workers
in the Senate. The Senator is
ready to introduce a bill in the
Senate calling for full restoration
January l, when, and if, it is def
nitely decided there will be no re,
lief in the independent offices sup
ply bill.

Dearstyne said there are certain
crops adapted to the various sections
