ural deaths. Thus, Britain's pro-
visions for naval building in 1885
and later, if desired can be made
without close attention to the linz
its laid down in these pacts.
Despite the new building pro-
gram. however, it must be stressed
that there is no possibility that
this years projected building pro
gram will put the British fleet
above the limits set by the trea-
ties, even though those pacts may
not be binding when the project
ed tonnage is completed. There
is ample scope for intensified
building to replace warship ton
mage now becoming obsolete.
This is particularly true in the
case of cruisers. BY queer pro-
vision of the London naval pact,
applicable only to Britain, the
kings navy on Dec. 81, 1886, can
contain no more than 35 modern
underage cruisers, of total ton
mage of about 128,000 tons, COM
pared with the 50-odd cruisers
totalling 10000 tons to which
Britain theoretically is entitled.
Cruiser requirements totalling
$4,000 tons could be authorized
this year without violating either
the spirit or the letter Of the
London treaty.
Capital ship requirements def
nitely cannot be authorized until
after 1886. But Britain could still
lay down two or three aircraft
carriers within her allotted Wash
ington treaty tonnage.
Britain would also have to au-
thorize, lay down and complete
about 5000 tons of submarines
and no less than 10000 tons of
destroyers before the end Of 1886
if she desired to be built up to
treaty limits with modern under
age ships.
The new building program calls
for the following new ships:

6 OFFERING OF GOVERNMENT WELL RECEIVED
Financial Overture anc Public Works Program
 Before Roosevelt

WARM SPRINGS. Ga, Dec. A. The excellent reception given the Governments latest and biggest fi- nancial offering cheered the con- ferees about the table of President Roosevelt yesterday afternoon when the huge public relief work pro- gram was pondered.
 The financial proposal and the public works plans were side by side at the important meeting of the President with Secretary of Treasury Morgenthau and Secre- tary of Interior Ickes.
 The President kept his decision to himself but with every indi- cation, however, that the new Con- gress will be asked for sizeable sum to provide public work jobs until private industry is able to take up the slack.
 The gigantic offering of securi- ties to finance the Government has been well received, it was learned, by investors.

Juneau Man First Proposed
 Asaska Colonization Scheme
 Says Dimond; His Comments

WASHINGTON, Dec. A. The idea of colonizing Alaska lands with farmers came up first, Delegate Anthony J. Dimond said yester- day, during the Wilson Adminis- tration when John Roman, mining engineer, formerly of Fairbanks, now of Juneau, Alaska, urged the course to Franklin K. Lane, then Secretary of Interior.
 Roman suggested that Scandi- navian farmers be imported to set- tie the lands adjacent to the Alas ka Railroad However, the plan which was favored by Lane, went into the discard somehow.
 The new idea to send families from the northern states, to Alas ka, because of unemployment in those states. as now being studied by the Relief Administration and Interior Department, means hard work will be ahead for such set- tiers but once farmers are oper-

SIGNIFICANT CONFERENCES

Instead. of proclaiming a great victory for liberalism, MT. Roose- welt says nothing about the elec- tion but begins a series of signifi- cant conferences with business men.
 Instead of announcing a sweep ing program of social legislation he asks for unemployment insur- ance only.
 Instead of intensifying govern ment spending he drops repeated hints that it is time to curtail.
 Instead of bringing forward some new breath-taking proposal which might frighten capital, he cements sort of entente with both bank ing and industry, leaving organized labor puzzled and wondering.
 In short, the developments at Washington and Warm Springs since the election have represent ed a continuation and acceleration of the trend which became so ap- parent a month before election day

Business Is No,v Getting on
 3Inside' uith Administration:
 PresidentAdopts New Tactics
By BYRON PRICE (Chief of Bureau, The Associated Press, Washington

The really interesting feature of the current administration effort to reassure business lies in the fact that the most sweeping gestures of conciliation have come after rather than before, the election.
 No one was surprised when the closing weeks of the campaign saw Democratic leaders making obvious overtures toward the right wing.
 It was from that quarter the chief attack was coming. MT. Roosevelt was being pictured to big and little business men as a dangerous character, a spendthrlft and radical of the worst type. It was only natural that the ascu- sation should be denied, and some tangible evidence offered that the denial was bona fide.
 When the election resulted in the complete rout of this right wing opposition, however, there were many who expected the era of modification to end. The Presi- dent was seen as having received a clear mandate from the voters to go on and on, spending, experi- menting, riding roughshod over the old conceptions of economies.
 What actually happened, how ever, represents almost the exact reverse of that rather general ex- pectation.
