THE government of Jugoslavia has
1 decided to expel all the $4,000 Hun
garians now living in that country.
The process will be gradual but re-
lentless. Already more than 1000 have
been deported and more are being sent
away daily. Hungary called the action
of Jugoslavia to the attention of the
League of Nations.

in London, but his words were meant
for all the world to hear, and as MS
speech was the first comprehensive
statement of the American position
since the opening of the conversations
it was regarded as of the greatest I'M
portance. He also announced, for the
first time, that President Roosevelt mas
proposed "a substantial all-around re-
duction in naval ornaments"
Mr.. Davis said that, since no agree
ment for armament reduction has been
reached the United States advocates
the continuance of the Washington and
London treaties with their assurance
of equality of security" Asserting
that the Washington pact put an end
to a ruinous naval race and established
"a sound basis for peace in the Pacific
and the Far East" he continued:
"Only by maintenance of the system
of equality of security, with proper
Tomato reductions downward of naval
strength if possible, can there be main
tanned the substantial foundation for
security and peace which has thus been
laid.
Abandonment now of the principles
involved would lead to conditions of
insecurity, of international suspicion,
and of costly competition, with no real
advantage to any nation"
Unofficially, 1t is said that when ia
pan gives formal notice that she is de-
nouncing the Washington treaty, prob
ably on December 20, the United States
will Immediately withdraw from the
discussions in London. officials in
Washington consider that to continue
the conversations would be tantamount
to acquiscence to Japan's demand for
modification of the ratios on which
the treaty is based.
No more than any other nation does
the United States wish to see the re-
vival of the race in naval construction,
but the government will not tolerate
the decline of our navy to subordi-
nate place. Recent utterances of cab
met members aud of congressman who
especially have to do with naval affairs
make this plain.
In his annual report to the President,
Secretary of the Navy Swanson says
that although the United States NAV
reduce its naval strength proportion
ately with other powers, it is imper-
alive that navy second to none be
maintained. He warns also of the
dangerous shortage of personnel In the
navy, saying that '.ships are valueless
unless manned by adequate crews of
trained, experienced officers and men,"

PRESIDENT CAN
 AID COTTON MEN
Cotton Loan Plan Could Be Adopted and Save
 the Growers

Washington, Aug. 21 - (UP) - President Roosevelt can protect cotton growers from financial losses if a general textile strike is called by adoption of cotton loan plan, supporters of the proposal said today. The advances probably would have no effect in thwarting the threatened strike, but would safeguard farmers if it material zcd, they argued.
 In event of walkout, it was pointed out, mills would not want to take cotton and producers lacking incentive to hold it, might be forced to unload it at unsatis- factory prices. But if they bor. rowed on it. the plans advocates said, they colud keep it until the strike was ettled after which they could sell at a profit.
 Chief among the proposals SUD- no9ters is Sen. John w. Bankhead. d, Ala. He has urged it upon the president and is confident of its acceptance.
 Officials of the AAA and Com modity Credit Corporation. which would make the loans, said noth- ing concrete had been done and that before they could draft a pro- gram they must receive instruc- tions from the White House.
 Ut is up to the president to ask for this" Oscar Johnston. mana ger of the AAA cotton pool and loan program, said.
