5.Power Agreement Calls
for Notification on Con-
struCtion Plans.
BY the Associated Press.


LONDON. January 3l.-The Inter-
national Naval Conference agreed to-
day to a plan by which the United
States. Great Britain. France and
Italy will announce at the first of
each year what their naval construc-
ton Will be during the following IL
months
The plan, offered as compromise
in an effort to limit the possibilities
of a naval construction race, was the
first major agreement reached by the
conference in nearly three months OF
work.
The agreement will be signed FORM
ally by the conference after it is in
corporated in whatever general agree
ment may be reached on the limita-
ton of naval types.
Meet Again Monday.
The next session will be held Mon
day.
The agreement. as drawn up oy
the subcommittee. provided that the
information would apply to all vessels
Of more than 100 tons.
Keels could not be laid down until
four months after the exchange OF
information. II there were any radi-
cal change in the programs after the
exchange, then there would be new
notification and further four month
delay in laying down keels.
Were there some alteration in the
plan Of any ship after the keel was
laid down, then the other powers
would be notified. but there would be
no further delay in construction.
Notification After Launching.
After 4 ship has been launched,
the powers, under the proposed agree
ment, must inform one another if
there has been any further change in
the original construction plan.
During the life Of the agreement
the powers could arrange at any time
for consultations with one another
This step would be entirely voluntary.
The French delegation had sought
to make this provision mandatory,
with Geneva set as the place for
meetings. The Americans objected,
however, feeling that such pro-
vision might link the four-power
agreement with the League Of Ma
tions, or give that impression.
Number Of Planes.
The agreement also, as reported by
the subcommittee, would provide that
the participating powers need not
specify the exact number Of planes
they had aboard airplane carriers,
but only the approximate number.
This provision would protect the
secrets of the American carriers, the
numbers of planes attached to which
are not made known oficially to
foreign powers.

New taxes to bring in at least

How much more revenue may be

In one administration quarter the
tax figure mentioned in connection
with the bonus was $3.50 900 00O-an

to be issued to the veterans mature.
The President himself did not sug-

them in an election year-at a press

Senator Byrnes, Democrat, of South

he would offer an amendment to the
Independent Offices appropriation bill
to cover the estimated $2,491 600, 900
cost of the bonus.
Byrnes' announcement was made
after the Senate Appropriations Com
mittee had reported out both the inde-
pendent Offices bill and the deficiency
appropriation measure. To the latter
the committee had added $12, 2,278, ,375

mirroring to Point of Perfection.

The accuracy Of time determination
will likely be perfected to within one
one-hundredth to one one-thousandth
OF a second in the near future, Capt.
j. Frederick Hellweg, U. S. NJ, re-
tired, superintendent of the Naval
Observatory, said today in his annual
report to Secretary Swanson and Rear
Admiral Adolphus Andrews, chief Of
the Bureau of Navigation.
''In the very near future plans will be
completed for increasing the accuracy
of time determination" wrote Capt.
Hellweg. "It is believed entirely feasi-
BILE to increase the accuracy of time
determination from one one-hun-
dfedth to one one-thouSandth or one
ten-thousandths of a second, although
the latter is so minute that it is not
believed advisable to carry the re-
fnement to such an extent"
When automatic time service units
at Honolulu and Panama are COM
pleted Capt Hellweg said, "the Naval
Observatory time will be complete and
will be the most accurate in the world
and able to reach our ships and out
lying possessions with certainty and
maximum accuracy"
Pointing to the economies effected
