BURNED VESSELS
REMOVAL IN DOUBT
McCarI Ruling Delays Navy
or Army Plans for Moro
Castle.

A technical question as to the
source Of money to be spent in salvag-
ing or removing the Moro Castle
from OF the beach at Asbury Park.
N. j., will have to be settled before
any work whatever can be done to
utilize the burned hulk of the once
proud liner.
The Navy Department, which set
out several weeks ago to remove the
wreckage of the boat to the Brooklyn
Navy Yard to determine II 1t could
be rebuilt as an airplane carrier, was
informed today that public works
funds could not be used for that pur-
pose.
The Public Works Administration
had awarded the Navy $180,000 for
the salvaging project after technical
officers had made preliminary study
and held the plan practical. Con-
troller General McCarl, however, held
that the P. w. A. funds could not be
so used, but he did not definitely kill
the project.
The War Department, which has
supervision of all navigable waters,
may be able to accomplish what the
Navy Is unable to do. The Moro Cas-
tie may be held a menace to naviga-
ton and as such will fall under the
supervision Of the Army Engineers.
The Army, however, may yet let the
Navy do the work simply by requesting
the services of that department.
However. the question Of funds will
arise in that case, although the War
Department already has several prece-
dents Of the use of P. w. A. funds to
improve navigable waters.
The Navy Department had planned
to determine the future of the Moro
Castle after the big wreck could be
placed in dry dock. If the plan to re-
build her is abandoned, the hulk and
machinery will be salvaged as junk.

Establishment Of an employment

organizations of families on relief, it
was reported today.
The purpose would be so that the
public would hire any sort of labor or
services and pay for them in kind, if
cash was lacking. This Is one of the
principles of the self-help movement.

NEW NAVAL RACE
IS SDOUBTED HERE
u. S. Will Have Hands Full
Building Up to 1880
Treaty..
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

Even though the Washington and
the London naval treaties may De
tunked soon, responsible quarters in
Washington do not expect naval race
In the near future as consequence OF
this action of the Japanese.
While Japan has completed its quota
Of auxiliary craft-cruiserS. destroyers
and submarines-provided in the Lon
don naval treaty, the United States is
tagging behind Japan in every class of
auxiliary vessels, with the exception
of the heavy cruisers.
Out of a tonnage Of approximately
100000 tons allowed this country by
the Washington and London treaties,
only $4,000 tons have been built so
far. The $500 tons appropriated for
the American Navy this year will not
be ready before at least another l8
months or two years.
U. S. Building Permitted.
Consequently, until January l, 1887,
the date when the Washington treaty
actually ceases to be in force, If the
Japanese denounce it this Fall this
country will have its hands full with
building auxiliary vessels she has neg
lected to build since 1880. The jap
anese may take advantage of this sit
uation and build more submarines and
destroyers and possibly cruisers after
December 81, 1885. The London treaty
remains in force until that date.
AS far as capital ships are con-
cerned, it will be impossible for any
of ha of ha Wochir0tnro
treaty to lay the keel to any such type
treaty provides that any of the sig
natories can give notice of its termi-
nation after it has been in force for
10 years.
1t was agreed there shall be a
period of two years between the
actual denunciation of the treaty and
the beginning of new constructions.
Agreement Extended.
At the London Naval Conference of
1880 it was agreed between the five
powers-the United States, Great
Britain, Japan, France and Italy
that the Washington agreement shall
be extended for the duration of the
London naval agreement.
Thus, even if the Japanese govern
ment gives notice of its termination
now, it will not be able to start build
ing capital ships before January, 1887.
In view of this situation, there is
little concern that a new naval race
will begin if the present London nego-
tiations fail, unless the japanese gov
eminent decides to ignore completely
the provisions of treaties it has signed
In 1921 and in 1880.
Such a contingency is regarded as
improbable, although it is admitted
that the japanese government may
start building navy for Manchoukuo,
that is to say japanese navy,
manned by japanese crews, under the
Manchoukuo flag.

Various preliminary studies of taxa

special investigative authority by the

10 days after the November elec-

Proposals Range to S Per Cent.
Amounts that have been discussed
in connection with the taxing of pay
rolls for unemployment insurance have
ranged from one to per cent. Bur-
dett G. Lewis, director of the Ameri-
can Welfare Association, told a State
meeting in Denver few days ago
that / per cent would be the figure.

MEXICAN SILVER
PURCHASES MADE
Morgenthau Silent OF
Amount Giving U. S. rs
Per Cent Backing.

BY the Associated Press.
Purchases of silver from the Mexican
government as part of the Treasury's
program Of giving the currency rs
per cent silver backing have been dis
closed by Secretary Morgenthau.
He declined to say how much had
been bought. but import figures re-
vealed nearly 100000 ounces had ar
rived from Mexican ports during the
last month, consigned to the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York.
In Open Market.
The Treasury head said no pur-
chases we're being made direct from
any other government, although buy
ing was being pursued in the open
market throughout the world.
The Mexican silver, Morgenthau
added. was chiefly newly mined metal
and was exclusive of the amount
which Mexico was obligated to with
hold from the market under the Lon
don agreement.
Morgenthau said no significance was
attached to the Mexican buying, and
gave no lnQlCdLlOIl IlldI Tie pldu WOulu
be changed. 1t was merely part OF the
general program of purchasing where
the metal could be obtained most ad-
vantageously, he said.
In some quarters there was dis
position to connect the move with the
Chinese protest against the United
States buying policy. which brought
assurances that America would try to
carry out the mandate Of Congress
so as to cause as little disruption as
possible elsewhere.
Production Increasing.
Silver production in Mexico has been
increasing. II was estimated at nearly
$4,000, 900 ounces for the eight months
ending August 81. about $500, 900 more
than in the same period last year.
Silver acquired under the nationali-
zation order Of August 9 reached 98,-

thi;' gs out than by the old-fash-
ioned method of trial and error.
There seems no other way.
It is hard to find two dis
tinguished economists who will
agree with each other on any
major proposition. A recent
listing, by an eminent author
ity, of the few living men
who know anything about
money, contained the name of
just one banker. It seems,
therefore, that when the ex-
pertS are confused, the anna
teur might be given a chance,
especially after his record of
the past nine months.
To anyone convinced of the
thorough insincerity of Euro
pean disarmament conferences
and peace talk, it is hearten-
ing to behold in the White
House a President who per-
ceives the realities of life,
while hoping for some event
ual triumph of the ideals.
Third Rate Navy
It is heartening to learn
that he will ask Congress to
build the United States Navy
up to its full strength by
1899, and at a cost of $516,-
100000, and to increase the en-
listed strength of the Navy
from 10000 to 100000 or more.
The inroads of blind pacifism
almost crippled Army, Navy
and Marine Corps, but appar-
emily We have a President who
knows that the world is a Mad
Hatter's tea party, and that
peace is not arrived at by
long-winded conference between
TWeedle-dee and Tweedle- dunn.
Instead of the United States
being on an equality with Great
Britain, as the leading naval
power Of the world, which she
should be, she is actually today
third-rate power and not a
very strong third rate. Japan
has forged rapidly ahead, and
today leads the United States
in modern battle fleet strength.
There is a fair chance that
the United States Marine Corps,
barely saved from virtual ex-
tinction last year, may be in.
creased in personnel under the
Presidents inspiration. At pres.
ent the strength of the corps,
scattered all over the world,
from San Diego to Peiping and
from Panama to Shanghai, is
about $4,000.
Just as the United States
Army has made a magnificent
record directing the Citizens
Conservation camps, so the Ma
r1ne Corps can take pride in
preserving the peace in odd
corners Of the earth, in garri,
soning our far-flung outposts, in
relieving the sufferings caused
by fire, flood and earthquake,
fighting pirates, protecting the
seal fisheries and ready, al
ways, to leap out with a run
ming Jump to tackle any prob
lem that Uncle Sam wants
solved in haste.
