! CAPITAL SHIPS
IN NAVY Y'SPLANS

The Navy Department has
under construction a program for
replacement of seven over-age bat
tleships, beginning January /,
1887, if the Washington naval
treaty actually expires at that
time, according to Secretary
Swanson.
The program, it was pointed
out. is strictly contingent upon
the actual expiration of existing
naval treaties, and would not in
crease the size of the American
Navy.
Replaced battleships would be
junked as soon as the new YES
sells are completed, so that the
present level of Is capital ships
would be maintained.
Naval authorities took pains to
emphasize the program is in no
sense challenge to other ma
tions, but a replacement pro-
cedure authorized by the Vinson
naval bill passed by the last
Congress.
Mr.. Swanson said moderniza-
tion of several of this country's
oldest battleships is being held up
temporarily for lack of funds,
and probably will not be under
taken at all if it appears that
the treaty is to be junked.

ANCERED
BY PLEA To
DROP BONUS
Universal Service


Representative Taber, Of New
York, ranking Republican on the
House Appropriations Committee,
yesterday appealed to ex-SoldierS
to be "patriotic" and not insist on
payment of the bonus.
His statement brought a storm
of protest from the House floor,
where members wrangled over
bills to pay the two billion dollar
adjusted certificates through cur
rency expansion or a Federal
bond issue.
Passage of some form of bill in
che House is conceded when the
issue is put to a vote, probably
early next week, despite the
threat of a presidential veto.
Mr.. Taber aSsailed "extrava-
Rance" of the New Deal and said:
1--WE must practically multiply
Ou- taxes by three in order to
meet the expenses of Govern
ment. Only in that way can the
solvency of Government be pre-
served"
Representative Lucas CD OF
Illinois. attacked the bill by Rep
resentative Patman (D0 of Texas,
which calls for payment in new
money. and asked support of the
measure by Representative Vim
son (D) of Kentucky, sponsored
by the American Legion.
Praising the expansion plan,
Representative Lemke (RD Of
North Dakota, asserted the cry
"fiat money" was only raised
when you print money and give
1t to anyone but the banks"
Seeking approval of his COM
promise measure which provides
for payment of that amount cal
culated to be actually due now,
Representative Cochran CD Of
Missouri, declared:
"The bonus has been . pO-
1itical football long enough. 1t
IS unfair to the veterans to
send a bill to the White House
that we know the President will
not sigh and that we cannot
pass over his vetO."

Senator Tackles Job of
Cutting Down Debate
on Measures.

1y the Associated Press.
Never daunted by overwhelmine
odds. Senator Carter Glass Is about to
tackle probably the toughest job of q
long career-trying to keep senatorial
tongues from wandering afleld when
appropriation bills are pending.
Right at the start he conceded he
hadn't much chance of success in a
Senate that likes its precedents and
insists on talking as long as 1t pleases
about anything 1t chooses. But the
Virginian said yesterday he would
press his proposal to require Senators
to talk appropriations when appro-
priations bills are its business.
Dryly, he said Of his colleagues:
They'd rather talk their heads of
than do anything else"
Meanwhile, another proposal for a
change in the rules intended to dis
courage filibustering was gaining
ground and is understood to have the
backing Of Vice President Garner,
who chafes at Senate slowness after
the expeditions way the House does
things.
Would Limit Motions.
1t would simply limit to one the
number Of permissible motions to re-
turn bills to committee.
Both proposals are products of the
present session. Glass move grew out
of his impatience at extraneous
speeches and slow progress when the
work-relief bill was up. The other
arose from debate on the Bankhead

OIL SUIT AGAIN
DISMISSED

AUSTIN, Texas, April 4.-Dis-
missal of a 3-year-old antitrust
suit against II major oil COM
panies was affirmed in the Third
Court of Civil Appeals yesterday.
The court ruled Texas anti
trust statutes were unconstitu-
tional under a ruling of the
United States Supreme Court be-
cause they exempted farm prod
ucts.
No ruling was entered on valid
ity of the National Recovery Act
which the oil companies claimed
superseded the State trust laws.
It was expected the State would
perfect an early appeal to the
State Supreme Court.
The case was brought by GOV.
v. Alfred, who sued for forfeiture
of the charters of the companies
and for penalties aggregatlng
$17,5OO,OO0. He alleged the COM
panies had violated the State law
against trusts and monopolies by
entering into a code to govern
marketing of crude oil products.
Alfred alleged the code resulted
from a conspiracy, foStered by
the American Petroleum Institute,
to stifle independent competition.
Defendants named in the suit
were the Standard Oil Company
of New York, Standard Oil Com
pany of New Jersey, Standard Oil
mpany of California, Shell

In a militant attack before the

erroUlse the nations business men
against the New Deal yesterday.
Mr.. Weir's criticism was OF the
most outspoken to come from any
business leader in the past few
months.
The National Steel head was
one Of those who helped General
johnson in the early days OF NRA
and both johnson and President
Roosevelt were said to entertain
high opinion of him. However, he
conducted the fight which re-
suited in the court decision adj
verse to section IA Of the re-
covery act.
The Administration, he stated
persists in a line of attitude and
action that renders impossible the
establishment of a feeling of con-
fidence that is essential to the
start Of a general recovery. He
said:
LET confidence be restored
and business will take care of
the rest of the job. All the
government relief and jOb-mak-
ing combined is not a drop in
the bucket. compared to the
prOsperity-making capacity now
lying inert in business through
lack of confidence"

ginning to doubt the soundness Of
New Deal schemes.
The immediate occasion for
the delay this time is as follows.
Mr.. Ickes, backed by the Pres
ident, is strenuOusIy objecting to
an amendment made by the
Senate. This amendment re-
quires that a certain part of the
money provided by the bill shall
be spent directly for work.
To be exact, 100000 are to
be allotted to States and local
bodies for spending. The Senate
insists that third of this, or
$500, 900 900 shall be spent for
direct work" This means spend
ing in a way designed to PROVIDE
the largest possible amount Of i'm
mediate work among the unem'
ployed in each locality.
Why. then, do Mr.. Ickes and the
President object to this provision?
Their objection is that it would
limit their public works" pro-
gram. Mr.. Ickes says that some
of his public works plans would
become impossible, evidently be-
cause they would require large ex-
penditures for sites, engineers, ad'
ministration, m err ais, equip
| ment, etc. Such expenditures
| would not furnish direct relief
now, and where unemployment IS
greatest.
He argues that employment is
/ created through purchases OF ma
terials. But the Senators know
that such indirect employment IS
not directed to the States where
! the money is allotted. 1t may also
be long delayed.
If you accept the principle
of the bill land agree to all
the waste, graft, and demOrall-
cation of labor which the work
relief" scheme invOlves), the
Senate is plainly right.
The plain fact is that Mr..
Ickes and the President are show
| ing that Cd their real interest,"
is not in relief of unemployment
but is in their public works pro-
gram: and that CD they want 70
increase the power of the Fed
eral Government and subordinate
the States.
After all, what is this five.
billion dollar bill for? 1t Is to
make work" in order that the
needy unemployed may get their
doles in the form of a security
wage" 1t is not to enable the
New Dealers to put across their
pet schemes for establishing a
Federal system of public utilities.
I think that one great error
made by the present Administers
ton from the beginning is that it
has put experiments and reforms
ahead of economic recovery. IN
the name of relief" it has donS
things which make it Improbable
!for employers to employ labor.
! This has been made the eH
cuse for forcing the Government
into business, in order to spend
and make work. Thus we have
moved toward State Socialism
and have piled up public debt.
The President once said that
the distinction is Childish"
But men may still ask. whether
what he really wants is "recov'
cry" or reform?
We cannot escape the conclusion
that the New Dealers have In
creased the number on the relief
rolls. Then they argue that IN
order to give relief, the Govern
ment must go into business so that
it can give employment to those
whom it has kept business from
employing!
It is to be hoped that in this
matter the Senators will stand by
their guns.
