BRITAIN PROPOSES
NEW NAVAL PACT
Suggests U. Sherman
English Lineup as Italy
Injects War Issue.
BY the Associated Press.

oy tLe faSSOCldttQ FECSS.
LONDON. February 25.-Great
Britain, anticipating failure for the
four-power naval conference, has pro-
posed an Anglo-German- American
naval agreement. 1t was learned today
from authoritative sources.
Members of the United States dele
cation. asked to confirm this report,
refused to discuss it.
High naval sources described the
proposal as one of the most important
affecting the United States, Great
Britain and Germany since the World
War.
The agreement would limit the sizes
and types of ships and guns among
the three countries concerned and
would provide for an annual exchange
of information on construction pro-
grams.
Word of the Anglo -German-Ameri-
can proposal came shortly after Italy
had injected the Italo- Ethiopian war
question into the naval conference as
a fresh barrier to the achievement OF
a naval limitation treaty.
Duce Injects War Issue.
Authoritative sources said that the
Italian delegation had notified the
British that Premier Mussolini would
not accept any new naval accords until
the League of Nations sanctions
against Italy were discarded and the
reinforced British fleet withdrawn
from the Mediterranean.
The substance of the proposed agree
ment among the United States, Great
Britain and Germany would be the
same as that now under discussion
among the United States. Great
Britain, France and Italy in the present
four-power conference, with battleships
limited to $4,000 tons and 14-inch
guns.
1t was understood that the agree
ment could be effected either in the
form of signed treaty or by the
exchange of notes.
The original source for this in
formation stated that the agreement
would not be an alliance.
Naval authorities said they felt that
a tri-power treaty, as a treaty, might
not be acceptable to Washington on the
grounds that it might appear the
United States was taking sides in Eu-
ropean affairs, that it would not desire
to seem siding with Germany and
Great Britain against France. Russia,
Italy and other powers.

A charge that Maj. Gen. Frank C.
Bolles, commander of the 7th Corps
Area at Omaha, Nebr, was actively
engaging" in politics developed today
in Senate debate on the suspension
from duty of Maj. Gen. johnson
Hagood as 9th Corps Area commander
Senator Hastings, Republican, of
Delaware had termed the action in
relieving Hagood of his command an
ILLUSTRATION of terrorism in Gov
ernment," when Senator Robinson, the
Democratic leader, hurled the charge
about olles. He coupled it with an
assertion that Senator Hastings, Re-
publican. of Delaware was "instru-
mental" in sending Brig Gen. Will
liam Mitchell, former Air Corps chief,
ito his grave ,-ithout the restitution
due him"
The debate springing out of the
suspension of Hagood involved half
| dozen Senators.
Accuses Hagood of Politics.
Robinson stormed out his words in
heated reply to Hastings He as
serted that Hagood violated the Army
code in taking part in politics by
criticizing the administrative agency.
And there is at least one more
corps commander" Robinson shouted,
who is actively engaged in politics,
who has a candidate of his own for
the presidency and boasts he is max
ing efforts in his behalf
rs he New Dealer" interrupted
Hastings.
mo-" snapped Robinson, "he is an
old dealer like yourself"
He gave Gen. Bolles' name in
response to direct question from
Hastings, but did not name the can
didate he was assertedly supporting.
Hits Mitchell Opposition.
Turning to the Mitchell case, Rob-
inson declared Hastings had held up
action for year on bill the majority
leader had introduced to remove the
stain" from the record of Gen.
Mitchell, who was court-martialed for
his outspoken denunciation of Army
leaders he held responsible for lack of
Air Corps development.
Hagood, in what already has threat
ened to become a political issue, was
ordered home to await orders" shortly
after telling House subcommittee
that Works Progress Administration
funds were stage money"
Hastings. chairman of the Repub-
lican Senatorial Campaign Committee,
declared.
Here is an effort on the part of the
ommander-in-chief of the Army and
Navy to see to it that nothing reflects
on his administration, not of the Army
and Navy, but of the general affairs of
his administration"
Cites Freedom of Press.
The Delaware Senator referred to q
recent Supreme Court decision as
being "very helpful as far as freedom
Of the press is concerned" and added:
What We need is freedom Of speech

that makes the Senate more attractive

Commissioners Hazen and Sultan
today threw their support behind the
civic campaign for increased public
health and hospital appropriations
agreeing to urge by letter and by per-
sonal appearance that the Budget
Bureau restore to the 1887 District
budget sums totaling $4,000, which
were stricken off their estimates by
that body.
The promise was made by Com
missioner Hazen after he and Sultan
had listened to the pleas of dozen
representatives of the medical So
cieties and civic groups, who held a
mass meeting February Is in protest
against cuts in appropriations made
by the bureau.
Bureau Cuts Funds.
For the combined health services
of the Health Department and agen-
cies under the Board Of Public We'll
fare. the Commissioners proposed
81, ,a04, 900. The bureau sliced of
$4,000 to reduce the total to ST.
705. 900.
The Commissioners are barred from
suggesting appropriations higher than
their original estimates. Hazen told
the group, which was headed by DR..
Sterling Ruffin. president of the Dis
trict Medical Society.
Tax Raise Considered.
1--WE will have to consider raising the
tax rate If the budget is carried above
our original estimates" said Hazen.
Perhaps in another year we will have
to consider tax rise anyhow"
Hazen called on Maj. Daniel j.
Donovan, District auditor and budget
officer, to explain there are certain
definite limitations on what the Com
missioners may do regarding appro-
priations after the Budget Bureau has
acted on estimates and submitted a
report to Congress for the President.
Donovan declared:
I'VE have very definite instructions
from the Budget Bureau not to submit
supplemental estimates except under
two definite conditions. We may not
do so except when new legislation
has been passed. which imposes new
financial obligations on the District,
and, secondly, we may not do so except
In the event some extreme emergency
has arisen between the time when the
Budget Bureau report is made to Con-
gress and the time when Congress
acts on the pending appropriation
bill. This limitation applies to Fed
eral department heads as we'll as to
