GERMANY'S NAVAL
DEMANDSGRANTED.
Reich to Maintain Fleet at
35 Per Cent of Great
Britain's Strength.
BY the Associated Press.

by INC ASSOClabeO FIcoS.
LONDON, June ia final agree
nent between Germany and Great
Britain on all important points of q
treaty to maintain the German Navy
at IS per cent of the British strength
was announced officially today.
It was stated officially that the
principle of the IOO-to-35 ratio
should in general apply to each cate
CORY"
1t was understood that this means
Germany will be allowed some lati-
tude in building submarines because
Of the French and Italian undersea
fleets which are larger than the Brit
iSh.
1t was stated that Germany would
be allowed to make a limited transfer
of 35 per cent of her tonnage from
one category to another, but that the
ratio would be strictly maintained in
regard to the entire under-age "ef-
fective" fleets of the two nations.
Other Meetings Planned.
The announcement followed the
first full meeting of the delegations
in several days. 1t was attended by
Sir Samuel Hoare, foreign secretary,
and Sir Bolton Eyres-Monsell, first
lord of the admiralty.
It was stated that further meet
ings on technical questions will be
held during the next few days.
An Italian note which was received
was described as short and nom
committaP' and similar to those re-
ceived from the United States and
Japan, who raised no objections to the
treaty
It was stated that Constant con-
Sultation has been carried on with the
French government which is contin-
uing" and that the French govern
ment has neither approved nor re-
jected" the agreement
Britain to Set Tonnage.
1t was said that this provision would
hold between these two countries re-
gardless of what other powers do. The
British view is that the release of Ger
many from the Versailles treaty naval
limitations is purely academic ques-
ton which must inevitably be ap-
proved.
Reports in naval circles that Great
Britain would lay down five new bat
tleships, % cruisers and large num-
Der of destroyers in the next five years
indicated that Germany would get a

The objections were raised as State
Works Progress Administrators met in
regional conferences to frame plans

Mr.. Roosevelt told the State direc-
tors at the White House they should
make every effort to place the unem-
ployed in private industry even if prof.
ects started through the $4,000, 900, 900
work-relief fund had to be stopped.
The President was optimistic on
recovery prospects. After emphasizing
that the great bulk OF projects Sc
lected must, with some exceptions, be
small and inexpensive to provide for
the employment of $500, 900. he said:
"Of course, we always will have
certain number CT unemployed with
us, but nothing like tine present scale,
we hope. And this year, I believe, is
going to be the beginning of the
picking up of the greater part of
this unemployment slack from which
we have heen suffering
Urges Useful Projects.
Aside from emphasizing that the
$4,000, ,O00, 900 had to be divided into
employment for 35o0,000 persons, the
President urged the State directors
20 make the projects ''aS useful" as
possible. He referred to the civil
works program as made work, in

D. c. TO ASK $4,000
ADDITIONAL FUNDS
TO GUARD HEALTH
Social Security Bill May
Provide $4,000 More
for Program.

The District Commissioners this
afternoon voted to seek $65, 900 sup
Elemental appropriation from Con-
gress to meet the needs OF the Health
Department. Congress slashed $685.
900 from the departments budget in
the current appropriation act.
Decision to ask for the additional
funds was arrived at after representa-
tives of the city's health and civic
organizations had called on the Com
missioners and urged them to act i'm
mediately.
Necessity for the supplemental ap-
preparation has been widely atteSted
throughout all strata of the city's
life. DR.. George G. Rutland, health
officer, led the fight, contending the
services his department can render
under the reduced appropriation
would be curtailed to a degree dan
gerouS to the health of the District.
He said it might be necessary to
give payless furloughS to regular
Health Department employees in order
to meet the reduced budget.
$4,000 More Possible.
Meanwhile a possibility developed
that the District might obtain S50,-
600 for general health work here
from the 100000 health allotment
carried in the social security bill.
Health officers were meeting today at
the Public Health Service to hear rec
concentrations for the allotment,
which will be available as soon as the
bill passes.
1t was said at the meeting that
the District allotment depended on
the willingness of Congress to match
at least part of the $4,000 in District
funds. There is possibility also of
$4,000 for child welfare which will
not have to be matched and $4,000
for maternity and infant welfare to
be matched. A sum for crippled chill
dren also probably would be avail
able. If this program goes through
it would provide about 100000.
In arriving at the $4,000 supple
mental figure the Commissioners ac-
cepted the intermediate estimate sub
mitted to them by DR.. Rutland, who
had prepared figures showing what
could be done with the full $4,000
appropriation, with $65,000 and with
a still smaller sum.
