DAVIS HAS PRAISE
FOR NAVAL TREATY
Ambassador r-at.Large Sees
No Disadvantage for
United States.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK. April 2.-Norman H.
Davis and Admiral William H. Stand
ley. returning home today from the
London Naval Conference, declared
the naval treaty concluded last week
does not in any way place the United
States at a disadvantage with other
world powers.
With II staff members and aides, the
Ambassador at Large and the chief of
naval operations arrived on the United
States Liner Washington.
Davis envisioned the eventual rati-
flcation of the treaty by Italy and its
accpetance by Japan, whose delegation
withdrew from the conference after
its demand for abolition of the WASH
ington 5-5-3 ratio was turned down.
Italy participated in the conference
to the end, but refused to sign the
treaty pending the disposition of sane
tions and the outcome of It's invasion
of Ethiopia.
Believes Italy Will Ratify.
1T is generally believed" Davis said.
that Italy will ratify the treaty as
soon as the Ethiopian dispute and the
question of sanctions are settled.
Il cannot see any reason why Japan
will refuse to come in. do not think
there is anything in the treaty to
which Japan can object.
This is not a treaty directed against
anybody at all.
I'VE do not feel that the United
States is placed at any disadvantage
at ALL"
Admiral Standley added:
I'VE have maintained the American
principle in every respect"
In view Of the fact that Japan had
denounced the 5-5-3 ratio and with
a gloomy feeling prevailing over much
of the world. Davis declared he had
gone on the trip with less enthusiasm,
and feel that We have done much
better than We hoped for some months
ago"
Provides Qualitative Limitation.
The London treaty provides no
quantitative limitation of any kind.
1t does provide for some qualitative
limitation and seeks to avert naval
competition by the exchange in ad-
vance Of naval building plans.
Davis said he felt certain the
treaty will prevent a worldwide build
ing race" He expressed qualification
that naval parity between the United
States and Britain will continue to be
policy Of both countries.
This policy, not included in the
treaty, was sent forth in an exchange
of letters between the special ambas-
sador and Foreign Secretary Anthony
Eden of Britain.
In view of the lack of agreement
on reduction of limitations. do you
think it will take another worldwide
conflict to bring about another agree
ment such as the Washington Naval
Treaty." Davis was asked
Holds Treaty an Achievement.
He brushed aside reference to an
other war, but declared:
I'VE were working under disturbing
conditions, some Of the naval powers
were not at the conference On many
sides were economic and political dis
turbances. In view of all of this we
believe the treaty is an achievement.
Davis and Standley were asked by
a Japanese newspaper man If the lack
Of limitations indicated the United
States would increase its Notifications
in the Pacific
That question" Davis said, "was
not in any way involved and the
treaty has nothing to do with that"

BERLIN, April 2.-Dr. Hugo Eek
ener, commander of the Graf Zeppe-
lin, has become taboo" to the Nazis
because of his conduct during the
Reichstag election campaign.
His refusal to come out with a spe-
cial election appeal caused the prop
aganda ministry to issue secret or
ders to the press to drop Eckeners
name hereafter out Of any publicity
concerning the Graf or the giant new
Zeppelin, Hindenburg.
In its mobilization of every avail

hit upon the scheme of getting prom

like Max Schmeling, the fighter; Will
helm Furtwaengler, the orchestra con-
ductor; the Rev. Wilhelm Zoellner,
and Bishop Preysing of Berlin-to
write Endorsements of Adolf Hitler
and his policies.
Eckener, always a man of rugged
independence, declined to do so on
the ground that he was technician,
not a politician.

of the situation arising on the border

Despite a telegram from Premier
Koki Hirota. however, Hsinking capt.

the outcome, casualties and forces
involved in the battle reported in

Tuesday in Outer Mongolia.
The japanese public still was igno-

Terms Soviet Defiant.
Lieut.. Gen. Juzo Nishio, former
chief of staff of the Japanese army
In Manchukuo, now on his way to
Toxic to assume the vital post of vice
chief of the general staff, declared in
an interview at Shimonoseki, seaport
on the main island of Japan:
If the japanese Army in Manchu-
kuo were properly reinforced, the
Soviets would cease their defiant ac-
tions on Manchukuo's borders.
THE Soviets' attitude has stiffened
because their Far Eastern forces have
reached formidable strength, and Incl
dents like the March 81 clash probably
will continue until all such problems
are automatically solved by raising the
Japanese -Manchukuoan forces to their
proper numbers"
The majority of vernacular news
papers gave prominence to warnings
by anynomous military spokesmen that
the japanese Army in Manchukuo
must be reinforced.

The Nationalist Daily Kokumin as
serted that even Premier Hirota, am
bilious to succeed as a peacemaker
with Soviet Russia, was despairing now
Of solving border issues peacefully "be-
cause the Soviet lacks sincere desire
for peace"
This newspaper said Hirota had de-
cided to issue a final warning" to
Moscow as soon as Hachiro Arita re-
turns from his post as Ambassador to
China to become foreign minister.
A spokesman for the premier, how
ever, reiterated that Hirota was conf

would not lead to a Soviet-Japanese
war.
High civilian officials expressed con-
viction that the Toxic government was
really desirous of peace and would be
able to curb any warlike dispositions
by the Japanese Army in Manchukuo.

Unless the Outer Mongolian govern

Manchukuo's frontiers, the relations
of the two countries are threatened
with the most serious contingency,

protest to Premier Amor at Ulan

golia, newly allied to Soviet Russia
under a mutual-assistance pact.
The Manchukuoan note alleged that
a battle fought Tuesday on the dis

case of Mongol aggression.

GAME SAVING
URGED IN MD.

ROCKVILLE, Md, Oct. S.-An
extensive Statewide program de-
signed for the conservation of wild
life was urged by State Game War
den E. Lee LeCompte in addressing
Rockville chapter of the Izaak
Walton League here last night.
LeCompte declared uncontrol-
able conditions, such as devaStat-
ing floods, severe winters and
brush and forest fires have re-
suited in wholesale losses in wild
life throughout the State, eSpe-
cially among ground nesting birds
and small game. He added:
This decrease in upland
game requires an immediate
restoration and conservation pro-
gram in the entire State.
"The farmers can render a
great service by refusing to cut
all plant life, grass and weeds
from the fence corners and bOr-
dering wooded areas. Where
such action is taken nesting and
feeding places are provided. This
also provides protection for the
small game during the winter
season."

GRASS LANDS
International News Service

A"beEnhbAOHhA news DOEVlCS
More than 100000 acres Of
land along the western edges Of
the Great Plains States, bought for
the Government by the Resettle-
ment Administration, is being
turned back into grazing lands.
Relief workers employed by the
Resettlement Administration and
Works Progress Administration
are building water reservoirs,
planting grass and restoring the
soil to make it more suitable for
grazing.
This program was mapped out
because of the recurrent droughtS
of 1881, 1884 and 1886, which nit
the Great Plains particularly hard.
The 5,250,00O acres being re-
stored for grazing comprise part
of the 9.287,OOO acres of land
being purchased by DR.. Rexford
G. Tugwell's administration to
retire it from agriculture.
The total cost Of the program
is placed at $46,500,000, with the
average cost Of the land SAT-
per acre. While title actually has
been taken on only 2,100, 900
acres, options have been &C.
cepted on 100000 acres.
Yet the 9,250,000 acres being
purchased is less than 10 per cent
of the total submarginal land in
the United States now being
farmed, according to the Resettle.
ment Administration.
There are $50 900 farms in the
United States, covering more than
100,000,000 acres, impossible to
raise a paying crop. Yet families
still operate these farms, vainly
trying to raise a paying crop.
DR.. L. C. Gray, head Of the land
use section Of RA, says:
This means that one farm
family out of every ten in the
United States is faced with fail
ure unless it can obtain better
land; that one-tenth Of the farm
land in this country Is being
wasted in an attempt to use it
for a purpose that nature will
not tolerate"
The land purchases are being
made in 43 States. Besides the
grazing lands, the purchases in
clude $4,000 acres for the Ma
tional Park Service; 1,250,00C
acres for Indian lands, chiefly foI
grazing, and $4,000 acres for mi
gratory waterfowl projects under
the Biological Survey. Work has
been provided for $1,000 men on
the program, according to Admin
iStrator Tugwells reports.
