Great Powers Plans Ready


The number Of japanese fishing"
along the Philippine coast in fast new
motor boats carrying sounding ap-
paratus on board has increased lately.
Japanese travelling salesmen"-
mostly military and naval staff ON
cers-have also become more numer-
Gus in the last few months.
Emotional Reaction Feared.
OF course, neither the State De-
partment at Washington nor the Navy
and War Departments seek any COM
plications with Japan. What they
fear is the emotional reaction Of the
American people in case the Philip
pines are faced with Japanese ag-
gression.
This country. say these officials, was
loud in It's denunciation of Italy's at
tack on Ethiopia--a country much
further away than the Philippines
and known to the masses only be-
cause of the picturesqueness of its
Emperor. And the deduction is made
in Navy circles that II the Americans
felt to keenly about the Ethiopians,
how much stronger the feeling will
be If the independence of the Filipinos
is threatened within the next few
years.
Because Of this danger of q Japa-
nese expansion toward the south, the
administration and the Congress are
for once in full agreement to pre-
serve the existing proportion between
the Japanese and the American
navies. The doctrine Of the Navy De-
partment, "three new American ships
for each ship built by Japan" is now
fully indorsed by the President and
the Congress.
The British are not displeased with
the inevitable consequences of the
new naval agreement, although
Britain's problem is more complex.
They must maintain feet superior
to the combined Franco italian fleets,
otherwise their position in the Medi-
terranean would become untenable.
The developments Of last November
have proved to the British admiralty
that Italy alone could disrupt the
British lines of communication
through the, Suez Canal. Britain
rushed the bulk of her feet to the
Mediterranean. And the day the
British cruisers and destroyers dis
appeared from the Shanghai TIarbor
the Japanese started their move in
North China.
Great Britain must have o large
number Of cruisers to protect the
lines of communications with the rest
Of the empire. And homogeneous
feet must be maintained in the Far
East to protect India and Australia.
But because Of the enormous expense
involved in the creation Of new navies,
the British foreign Office and the sd-
miralty believe that q political rap
prochement between the two English
speaking countries is now possible.
British Sounding Out q. s.
In the last few months British diplo-
mats and naval officers have been
sounding out their American col
leagues about possible cooperation
between the two countries. It was all
quite unoficial and tnformal-merely
vague talks over highballs and cigars
Oblivious Of the fact that in 1882
their government had received Secre-
tary Stimson's advances with diplo-
matte reserve, these men are now ex-
pounding with wealth Of arguments

BUILDERS I
REFUELINC.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

TN THE navy departments Of Great
Britain, Japan and the United
States there are large folders Of
L blue prints which are perhaps the
most carefully guarded possessions of
these navies.
They range all the way from mon
ster battleships Of $4,000 tons to two
men torpedo launches. And they
await the signal go" for q costly
naval race, the moment the ink dries
on the new naval treaty which is
being negtiated at present in London.
The negotiators of the new agreement
no longer call it q limitation" agree
ment, even among themselves, but
simply the London naval pact, for it
sounds the death knen to all hopes
for q reduction in the cost of navies.
All this is happening because Japan,
in order to show her people the ex-
alted role she has attained in the
world, walked out of the London con-
ference in preference to accepting five
battleships less than Great Britain
and the United States.
The practical result of the London
naval conference can be expressed
bluntly in five words: "The sky is the
limit"
The political consequences will be
far-reaching. But the diplomats
gathered in London don't want to
give the impression that . naval race
will be the net result Of the new pact.
Hence. they propose to extend the life
of the battleships to as years and to
declare five-year building holiday"
for heavy cruisers.
No Limit on Tonnage.
But the new agreement-and this
Is the chief difference from the
treaties signed In Washington and
In London In 1921 and in 1s3o-pro-
vides for no limitation regarding the
total tonnage navies.
The new London treaty will not only
abolish voluntary restrictions, but
make even the proposed holiday
purely theoretical. An escape clause
3 being inserted permitting the sig
natories to increase the size Of any
type Of ships If another nation decides
to do so.
In other words, II Japan were to
start building this year sea fortress
Of $4,000 tons, this country will be
free to build as many such ships as it
chooses.
The old treaties OF Washington and
London, despite their drawbacks, had
one unquestionable advantage: They
made 1t impossible for the signatory
nations to engage In o naval race be-
cause Of international difaculties.
The new treaty viii make o naval
race practically mandatory. Every
time there Is new political tension
and political tensions are as frequent
these days as lightning during q SUM
mer storui--there viii be . rush to
build more and better ships. Naval
programs henceforth win be dictated
BY considerations Of international
politics. Questions Of prestige, ter
ritorial expansion, fear or dislike
Of the neighbor will determine the
size Of the future navies.
Italy. threatened with q blockade,
is building two 35,000-ton battleships
at $30.000,000 apiece, 10 destroyers
and 3 submarines.
France, worried about Germany's
rising naval power. has started build-
| ing Q similar battleships, In addition
to 2 smaller ships Of $4,000 tons. II

the seriousness Of the japanese men
ace to America and to Great Britain.
British high officials in London have
been touchingly frank with the United
States. They simply have no more
secrets from this country. Not single
move is made by the British on the
international checkerboard without
informing the American Government.
The admiralty yielded gracefully to the
American demand for battleships Of
$4,000 tons which can cruise 10000
miles. The British admirals went so
far as to admit that large battleships
are necessary to Great Britain in the
event that the Suez Canal route is
blocked. throwing communications
with the empire back to the long
cape route.
And they point out in London and
in Washington that division OF naval
responsibilities would mean q great
saving to the taxpayers in both coun-
tries.
But this time Washington is turning
a deaf ear. The State Department Is
cool and reserved. Over the same
cigars and liqueurs, American officials
say the Nation is not in frame OF
mind to enter into any kind OF dan
gerous understanding.
They explain that secret agreements
even of the most advantageous type
are not possible In country like the
United States, where the final decision
in important international dealings
rests with the people themselves and
not with the diplomats. OF course
these British emissaries are told, the
situation may conceivably change and
there may be. later on, q popular ae-
mand for q division of responsibility
ties"
The new naval treaty has placed
future construction programs under
the arbitrary and dangerous control
of diplomacy. Out British COUSINS
have not often been excelled in that
field.

destroyers and II submarines, at
cost Of s186,o00, 900. And this is only
an "hors d'oeuvre."
The French people have reduced
salaries and wages, increased taxes;
the French government goes deeper
into debt, but the French are not
growling-France's fleet must be much
stronger than Germany's.
Japan has just given the navy de-
partment 551 100000 yen. 1t does
not sound much when this sum Is
translated into dollars, but the yen
in Japan has practically the same
purchasing power as the dollar in the
United States. What Japan Is going
to build nobody knows. as yet. But
it is certain that this appropriation
the largest ever made to the Nip
ponese navy-is not going to be spent
on buntings.
No less than $3.50, 600, 900 will be
spent by Great Britain in the course
of the next fiscal year.
The United States Is not much
concerned over what the European
nations are doing. Theoretically. we
stick to the idea Of parity with Great
Britain. although we know that the
British are going to add some 70
new cruisers within the next 5 years.
But the idea of a ship-for-ship parity
with the British no longer worries
our admirals.
Washington is looking across the
Pacific to Japan. The State ana tne
Navy Departments are positive that
the breakdown of the "global tonnage
agreements will not bring forth an
immediate demand for new ships.
Nevertheless, as soon as japan lays the
keel to one new battleship, cruiser,
DESTROYER or submarine, everything Is
ready here to put three such ships on
the slips. The Navy Department mas
plans ready for battleships OF tne
q 900 or $4,000 ton type, which Ja-
pan is rumored to contemplate ouiio-
ing.
United States Looking Ahead.
More than usual caution may IN
crease the American Navy. For the
next 10 years the United States l.
under obligation to defend Phihppine
independence.
And there Is q feeling in Wash.
ineton today that Japan may want To
expand toward the South some time
before these 10 years are over. The
boat.load Of Congressman and news.
uaper men that took o joy-ride to the
Philippines returned with uncom-
Portable feelings regarding Japan's
future intentions toward the new
commonwealth. Moreover, the Japa.
nese leaders in Toxic are today much
more eyasive than in the past In tl1eil
Assurances that they would respec,
the independence Of the Philippines
They have refused to enter into a.
agreement guaranteeing the independ-
ence, Of the Philippines because they
do not want to s'humifiate" the newly
born independent state.
The Philippine ofdctals are con.
cerned over the possibility Of an in
creased Japanese immigration. Ant
they know what would happen shoult
the Assembly pass an exclusion act or
the American pattern. But they alst
realize that the feelings Of the Fill
uinos might run high In case thu
Japanese begin to settle in the islands
in large numbers. Curved knives havs

SENATE TO GET
COAL BILL

BY vote of to 5, the Senate
Interstate Commerce Committee
today approved the new Guffey
bituminous coal act designed to
replace the measure held uncon-
Stitutional by the Supreme Court.
The committee report will be
presented to the Senate by Sena-
tor Neely CD of West Virginia.
Senator Wheeler (DO of Montana,
chairman of the committee, said
he expected to call the measure
up for debate Wednesday. The
bill has already been reported to
the House.
Wheeler said the committee con-
formed to the Supreme Courts OBJ
jectionS to the labor and collective
bargaining provisions mad modi-
fled the tax provisions of the origl-
nal measure.
In its present form, the bill calls
for a 112-cent excise tax on all
soft coal and with a 1312-cent sale
price take at the mine, which is
refunded providing the operator
complies with the provisions of the
act.
The new bill also places two eX-
perienced miners and two expert
enced operators on the bituminous
coal commission, which would be
composed of seven members.

HAZEN TELLS
ROCK CREEK
ROAD PLAN
Lane for Four to Six
Vehicles Included
In Proposals

Now that the Rock Creek-Poto.
mac Parkway has been completed
and permits motorists to drive
from the District line to Mount
Vernon crossing few intersections,
Commissioner Melvin C. Hazen
today revealed several plans to
improve the roadway.
Principal among his SuggeS-
tionS was one to do away with
the narrow passage for vehicular
traffic under the span at MasSa-
chuSettS Avenue. The road be-
meath the bridge runs beside the
creek and is so narrow that only
two lanes of traffic are permis-
Sible.
FavOrS Wider Roadway
Mr.. Hazen proposed q steel con-
Structed roadway, which would
run beneath the bridge and pro-
vide lanes for between four and
six vehicles abreast.
He said the steel construction
of the roadway would be advis-
able, although not necessary if
another surface would be found
as useful in cases of springtimc
floods.
He also recommended building
OF a roadway Skirting the east
ern edge of the Zoo Park so that
the parkway could be used at
night as well as in the daytime.
This already had been suggested
by Engineer Commissioner Dan /.
Sultan.
To re'ave traffic congestion at
K st. and the parkway, Commits
sioner Hazen suggested cut-in
roads on both sides of the park
way to be used during rush,hour
periods and eliminate makig
turns at the intersection of K. st.
Held Up BY Turns
Mr.. Hazen said that especially
during the morning rush period
motorists travelling south on the
parkway are held up by cars
making turns at the K st. inter
section. The suggested cut-in
roads would be built back from
the intersection allowing traffic
to curve into them without in
terfering with the regular flow.
Commissioner Hazen concluded
by stating he will carry his Sug-
gestionS to the National Capital
Parks office at an early date and
also will discuss them with Direc-
tor of Highways H. C. WhitehurSt
and Traffic Director William A.
Van Duzer.
