LARGE CUT IN
NAVAL FORCES
Delicate Situation in Medi-
terranean May Prevent
Reductions

LONDON, Dec. 9. CUP -
An American appeal for a 20 per
cent reduction in naval strength,
British call for a firm agree
ment, restricting submarine war
fare, and a Japanese demand for
a "just and fair" treaty in bid
for naval strength equality, mark
ed the opening of the five power
naval conference here today.
France and Italy, rivals IN the
Mediterranean, indicated in their
statements of policy that they will
oppose at present any long term
agreement because of the deiicacy
and dangr of the present Euro
pean situation.
The delegates met, believing

impossible task in seeking a COM
prehensive naval treaty to replace

Young Sutherland was drowned

o'clock when the ice broke on
Rainbow Lake, in Laurel Park,
and he fell into the water. Marion
Bracket, his young friend and
almost constant companion for
the past ten years, was with him
at the time. They had stopped at
the lake to examine the ice and
Sutherland had walked almost
halfway across the ice when it
broke.
Bracket ran for a rope and
made efforts to get him out of
the water, but he drowned before
he could be reached. The body was
recovered a few minutes after
ward and rushed to the Patton
Memorial hospital, but he was
dead when he reached the hospi-

HOUSTON, Dec. 9. (UP)-
The waters of Buffalo Bayou,
which inundated low-lying sec
tons here and battered down
buildings today were slowly re-
ceding while rescue parties sought
ID missing persons. Fourteen of
the missing were children. One
adult disappeared while attempt
ing to swim to safety, in the mid
die of Bernard Creek last night.
Hundreds of persons were
homeless and property damage
was estimated in millions of dol
lars last night as flood waters
swirled over the lower sections
of Houston and Harris county.
Water rose at the rate of 10
inches an hour in the flooded
section Of the city, reaching the
crest about midnight.
Flood waters from Buffalo
Bayou, which bisects the city and
connects with the ship channel,
menaced the business district,
less than three blocks from the
debris-filled water.
Property damage was particul-
arly heavy because of loss to
Christmas merchandise in ware
houses and storerooms in the
flooded district. 50
Practically. all bridges over
Buffalo Bayou were closed. Heavy
damage was done to railroad
tracks at the ship-turning-basin
east Of the scfty. The Capitol ave-
nue. bridge which connects the
business district with Northwest
Houston was submerged after be-
ing closed to traffic at noon.
A large freighter was torn
from it's mornings in the ship
channel last night, but the cap
tain dropped anchor and prevent
ed collision with other vessels.
City engineers said that the

astrous flood of 1929.

some of them under 10 feet of
water.
Damage estimated at $4,000
was caused by a fire which de-
stroyed the Yellow Cab company
building and an undetermined
number of automobiles.
The building was said to be
owned by Jesse Jones, chairman
of the Reconstruction Finance
corporation. The fire was started
by explosion of a gasoline tank.
Ten feet Of water poured into
scores. of homes, forcing.residents
to climb into their attics or upon
roofs. Rescue workers manned
small boats and RATS and moved
through the flooded area to res
cue the marooned. IN

u. 9. Ply Hela Dangerow.
One Of our greatest dangers Il the
enormous increase In the number of
those who are now drawing money
from the Federal Government. Is It
fanciful to apprehend that the day
may come when all classes Of bene-
hciar1es upon the Federal Treasury
may combine TO make and maintain
administrations pledged to q progress
sive continuance Of this prolific dis
tribution Of the money wrung from
the taxpayersS .-..
Observe the outry that = already
heard against those Of Us in public
life who have the temerity to declare
that recovery should precede reforms
involving the expenditure Of additional
billions Of dollars.
The Federal Government has en-
tered the door Of every industry, has
spied upon the operations Of even the
small fabricator, has declared that
not one additional spindle may be
added to q machine without its ap-
proval, and it Il now proposed to
license the farmers Of America and
the distribution Of ell food.
For more than Q hundred years the
courts have proclaimed that the field
Of the Federal Governments activi-
ties was limited to interstate COM
merce, but this legislation proposes to
intrude upon and govern activities
wholly within . State.
Many have either approved Or con-
doned certain legislative proposals as
temporary expedients to meet the
emergency, but the country Is now
beginning to realize that the effort at
least viii be made to make permanent
many adopted or pending legislative
proposals. II 50, the permanent enact
ment Of some proposals will revolu-
tionise the constitutional democracy
under which we have developed our
country. The sovereignty Of the
States and the liberty Of the individual
viii alike yield to the power Of the
National Government. The Govern.
ment viii more and more gather in
cfeasing power Is 1t adds to the ben
ehciaries Of the national distribution
Of money.

should yield to sound principles. The

ditures, 30 that within o reasonable

come that will not require excessive
increases In Federal taxes, constructive
efforts TO regain our still diminishing

viduals may develop business without
the fear Of competition In that busi-
ness BY the Federal Government, or
undue interference with the reason-
able control Of his business 50 long as
he acts with . decent regard for the
rights Of others.
Recovery must be founded on conf
dence and must grow on confidence,
for without confidence capital viii not
venture and without new capital in
vested business will not expand. There
ID plenty Of capital available, but the
confidence is lacking. The succession
Of many experimental devices to re-
capture prosperity confuses and fright
ems the business man.
Profit Is being taken out Of busi-
nsss BY putting the Government in
business In competition with those
who pay the taxes to operate the Gov
ernment. Regulation by the Govern
ment u being rapidly expanded into
competition by the Government.
The way to permanent prosperity Is
the dimcult path Of economy and ef-
flciency in Government, and the bal
ancing Of budgets Of States and the
Nation. The people must be encour-
aged to 60 the way Of independence,
industry, economy and self-reliance.
Business Is ready to resume its for
ward march II the Congress would
give assurance Of sound legislation.
Fsed Exports Decline.
As farmers We are suffering today
more from underconsumption and loss
Of our world markets than from over
production. Within recent years we
exported So per cent Of our cotton,
II per cent Of our tobacco, SO per
cent Of our lard, Is per cent Of our
wheat, and In addition many other
products of the farm. We see this
trade daily declining. When we lose a
customer in business we lose him usu-
ally forever. without foreign markets
for our pexportable surplus Of farm
products our farmers can never be
prosperous.
Some Of the present policies Of the
Agriculture Department are accelerat-
ing the progressive decline Of our food
exports, and certainly the enormous
cost Of the supervision now proposed
win add another barrier to recovery
Of foreign trade, Is such cost must be
included by the producers and ex-
porters and makes thereby our foreign
sales more dincult in the competition
Of the world markets.
The American farmer will hail with
Joy q constructive and forceful cam
palgn by our President to recover our

export trade. and certainly we should
preserve the remnants now remaining.
Only the firm and solid basis Of the
sound economic principle Of the age
old law-of supply and demand which
has never been successfully set aside
since the beginning Of time will give
our farmers real and lasting pros
