BERLIN, July Give great world

kept carefully from the people OF
Germany-the Reichs' detailed pro-
gram of naval construction for
1856.
Under the pledge Of secrecy. mill
tary attaches Of Great Britain, the
United States, France, Japan and
Italy were told last night exactly what
tonnage the German Navy has and
will have at the end of 1896, what
categories of ships she has built. Is
building and intends to build, and
what submarines and speedboats are
under construction or planned.
An authoritative source said the
notification did not suggest that those
informed make known their own posi-
tions.
1t was taken for granted In diplo-
matte circles, however, that the
notification" was in the nature OF
a "build-up" for Reichsfuehrer Hitler's
endeavor to obtain q general naval
agreement.
Rumors were current among various
foreign chancellOries that Der Reichs-
fuehrer would like some sort OF an
air force hook-up between Germany.
Poland and Hungary. and 1t was said
this proposal was discussed during
the recent visit here OF Foreign
Minister Joseph Beck of Poland.
Italys Ethiopian venture was also
one of Hitler's weekend preoccupa-
tons. The opinion was advanced In
the Wilhelmstrasse that If England
and France could be induced bv the
United States to warn Mussolini
jointly against aggression, the Reichs-
fuehrer might join in such a step.

Dominion Control Is Sta

Farm Administration officials yes
terday dropped intimations that they
viewed Canadian government wheat
control steps as potential stabilizer
for world market.
Declining to make detailed comment
pending an opportunity to study the
new Canadian law designed to peg
prices, A. A. A. officials said they be-
heved the subsidy plan would have
cnly a temporarily depressing reac-
tion on world wheat market.
Fears that Canada under the new
law might dump a large surplus Of
wheat on the market at low prices
were indicated here as a cause of the
crop in prices at Chicago Friday and
yesterday.
May Aid Control.
However, A A. A. officials said that
when the surplus in Canada is re-
ouced to a normal level, the Govern
ment control should help stabilize the
market. Belief also was expressed
that the control program in Canada
and South Africa would increase the
demand for a control program in the
United States.
At the Office of Secretary Wallace
It was said the market decline re-
suited from forces wholly outside this
country"
In almost all farm administration
quarters opinion was expressed that
the Canadian plan would not affect
the wheat adjustment program in the
United States.
Meanwhile, officials waited weather
developments during the next two or
three weeks before determining finally
the acreage reductions to be included
in the 1886 wheat contract.
Reduction Increased.
The acreage reduction to be asked
vas estimated in some quarters at
from IS to II per cent. The reduc-
tlon required in the 1885 contracts
was 10 per cent.

lion acres for the United States, OF
ficials have predicted that owners of
approximately So million acres will
