expenditures authorized by that
branch of Congress for national
defense purposes during the 1885
fiscal year.
When the Senate passes the
Navy bill, as is expected with
little change, it will bear the esti-
mated military expenditures of
the nation for 1886 nearly to 20
per cent Of the entire five billion
dollar budget.
U. S. Still Behind
ven with these huge expendi-
lures. the United States will still
be behind the other military or
CARNATIONS in modern equipment
and size.
The $401, 99S,170 War Depart
ment bill, already approved by
Congress, is approximately 400
million dollars short Of the
amount which Chit of Staff Gen.
Douglas Macarthur told the House
Military Affairs Committee was
necessary to give the United
States an efficient and adequate
military defense"
Failure in the past to build
up a treaty strength Navy and
maintain an adequate Army is
held responsible for the fact
that the Government now is
confronted with the necessity Of
spending nearly a billion dollars
on national defense.
Disarmament Fails
Now, with disarmament consid-
cred a lost cause for the present,
the United States is confronted
with the necessity Of spending
millions to strengthen the de-
tense forces it permitted to be-
come obsolete in the hope of
disarmament.
While the United States pre-.
pares to spend approximately 20
per cent Of its national budget on
national defense, Japan prepares
to spend no less than SO per cent,
or more than half its entire bud
get. The Japanese estimated ex-
penditureS, totalhng $4,000, 900
yen. also represent more than the
entire Japanese budget for 1881.

Testimony in Theft Of Ring,
Involving Woman Friend,
Recalled by Staying

HOLLYWOOD, April q
n.N.S0-Paul Wharton, slain
Hollywood film gown designer,
today was revealed as a native
of Petrograd, Russia.
A study Of the papers filed
when he was adopted by Mrs.
Ada Wharton, January IS. 1927.
showed that Wharton was born
July 7, 1909. the son Of Sonia
and Peter Moranskie, who died
when he was an infant. His
name was Ivandorff Ramorff
Moranskie.
At the time he was convicted
Of grand theft in connection with
the loss of a $1,000 diamond ring
by Mrs. Ray Wolfe and placed
on probation for four years,
Wharton made the following
statement, which police say gives
an insight into his character:
Gas far as 1 know, 1 was born
q nobody. 1 have always had a
terrific ambition to be some
body. This Mrs. Wolfe came to
me as a customer from a fash.
iOnable dreSSmaker.
"AftHr that a very intimate
friendship sprang up between
the two Of us. We had this ter.
rifle affair. Her husband Is In
q sanitarium somewhere in Vir-
ginia, and she said she was 60
ing to divorce him and marry
me.
This went on for a number
Of years, much against the ad.
vice of my friends and women
employees. I would have vel
coined the friendship sometime
before that but she threatened
to tell my mother MRS. Whar-
toni the things that had hap
pened between US. She threat
ened to have some photographs
in compromising positions with
her sent to my mother.
"The elimination of the whole
thing was she was going to kill
me and stuck a gun in my
stomach, stating she would kill
me if she couldn't have me-"

Of vessel specifically forbidden
her by the Versailles Treaty, the
British Air Council prepared to
recommend drastic increases IN
the British air force in view OF
Germany's air rearmament.
The council, headed by LORD
Londonderry, secretary of state
for air, was drafting a report on
the increases in German air
power which will be submitted
to the cabinet Monday.
Plan Drastic Revision
Lord Londonderry, on holiday
in Ireland, has been in telephone
communication with London, ad-
vising on preparation of the re,
port, which was expected to rec
ommend a drastic revision of the
present British air building pro-
gram and immediate steps to
carry out the governments pledge
to make the British air force as
powerful as any within striking
distance of England.
1t was pointed out that Ger

with France would give her 1900
planes, compared with Britain S
present strength of only 480 planes
available for defense OF the United

Senator Clark and those Sen

opinion informally that Mr.. Roose-

he was going to the White House

Bill couldn't have been broke.
Six weeks ago he wrote he had

something, no matter how little"
Evidently the dead youth-he
was 26-was devoted to his family.
He wrote frequently and never

two brothers. He kept his mother
informed of his movements and
sent her postal cards from the
various towns where he stopped

her in her arms.
Mrs. Howard chung to her and

Arizona. And he worked for
three years in the library Of
the University of California to

gree. He was q good boy. He
saved his money and worked
hard. 1 want you to quote me
as saying 1 know he didn't
shoot either Mr.. Wharton or
Mr.. Bolte."
A week ago, she continued, Bill
wrote her he was driving Whar-
ton to San Francisco, and
that he would write as soon as
he got back. He never discussed
Wharton in his letters, his mother
said, except to mention that he
was dress designer.

Young Howard, according to his

who saved his money. He lived

Cuando deyino ell inevitable rompimiento entire ell Pre-

un ~energico "manos afuera' en- 10 que respecta a la d-
reccion de los asuntos ADMINISTRATORS, todos los mexica-
nos que Sc interesan por la tranquilidad del pals pusieron
su esperanto en- una abstencion absolute por parte del
diyisionario sonorense en- la politica naconal, 10 que solo
podrfa lograrse retirandose del suelo patrio por tempo
indefinido. La opinion publica (nada valdrfa ell ocultar-
lo), hubiese visto con buenos ojos la APPLICATION del ostra-
cismo tan usual en- administrations anteriores, y meto-
do del que ell propio Gales Sc habfa Waldo con extraordi-
maria eficacia para deshacerse de sus enemigos. Empe-
70. a nadie pudo ocularse que a un hombre como ell g-
neral Cardenas, que cinera SUI actuacion en- la crisis po-
Utica de JUNO a los dictados de la Constitution, habria
de repugnar.e ell vejo sistema de las expatriaciones, es-
grimido tantas y tantas veces transgrediendo la letra y ell
espfritu de la ley.
A primera vista, la situaci6n politica y sus corolarios
proximos, aparecfa bien sencilla: Gales era un ciudada-
no de la Repdblica, o cuando mas, un funcionario de Sc
gunda Importance 81 Sc toman en- cuenta los puestos
honorificos que ocupaba en- los Ferrocarriles y otras de-
pendencias del gobierno. Pues bien, este ciudadano, abro-
gandose atribuciones que nadie lie habia c%oncedido, pre-
tendi6 en- I'm momento senalarle rumbos a las autoridades
maximas de la nacion. Estas autoridades (Cardenas), lie
hicieron yer que ningun derecho tenia para hablar EN- csc
tono, que los derroteros del gobierno debian ser senala-
dos por quien estaba autorizado para clio Eel Presidente
de la Republican,, y entonces ell General Gales Sc retro
muy quietamente, tomo I'm avion en- Balbuena, y Sc re-
trio a sus posesiones del Estado de Sinaloa.
La apariencia, como Sc We, no podia denotar I'm estado
de cosas que ameritara la expatracon del General Ca
lies. pues que h~abiendose sometido tan sumisamente a las
ordenes presidencia,es, regresaba a las fnas de, los SIM
pies c~iudadanos de la Republica. Pero estas apariencias
a nadie podian enganar. Gales, durante los largos amos
de SUI dictadura, habia creado en- SUI torno una tupida
trabaz6n de intereses, %polfticos y economicos. Tn YER

ia derrota que lego ingloriosamente, y que los dejaba
al garete en- ell revuelto mar de la polhica meXicana, con
sus grandes intereses, sus monopolios, ss haciendas y
sus ganaderias, sin la protection que antano los hiciera
prosperar Y multiphcarse.
Gales, aun cuando sin concederle una importancia
polftica que no tiene, no dejaba de constitur un peligro
para la tranquilidad del pals, por cuanto a que su figura
podrfa seguir aIentando ambiciones, y tomada quizas CO.
mo bandera (aunque bandera bastante deshilachada) por
aque,los que miraban desmoronarse sus suenos de eterna
hegemonia poftica y economical.
Era, pues, aconsejable, en- bien de la tranquilidad pu-
blica, que ell general Gales abandonara ell suelo naeional,
procurandose en- ell extranjero unas merecidas vacacio-

ell regimen encabezado por Ell General Cardenas. Ell re-
ciente arribo de Gales a las playas californianas responde
a las exigencias de la voluntad publica mexicana. Ell via

Sc sabe a ciencia cierta cual sera la duracion de esta tan
deseada ausencia, y cuales son los planes que para ell flu
turo pueda tener ell hasta hace POGO arbitro de los des-
tinos mexicanos.
De cualquier modo que sea, la salida del General Ca
lies de territorio mexicano debe considerarse como opor-
tuna. Y bien puede hacersele ahora la suggestion de que
alargue la ausencia, pues ninguna actuacion suya en- es-
tos momentos podrfa considerarse tan ~patriotica como ell
alejamiento pr ell mayor tempo possible, del territorio
nacional. Libre Mexico de la Influenza que por tantos
amos fuera causa de divisiones Y de odios, la administra-
ci0n pdblica podra sin duda alguna, enderezar en- firme
sus pasos hacia ell tan soIado RENO de las mst1tuclones,
