NEW YORK, Dec. 4 GN.SD.
There are thousand causes Of

the Study of Arthritis, criticized
remedies he placed on a par with

"There is not one of these lini-

AIM MT0MATCH
BRITISH PLAN
BY ROBERT G. NIXON
International News Service

With world powers preparing to
plunge into the biggest naval re-
armament race in history, the
United States naval high COM
mand today sudied plans for an
unprecedented building program
which, in the next two years, may
call for construction Of seven
new battleshipS at a cost Of
$3.50, 100000.
Blueprints have already been
drawn up for immediate construc-
ton of two new 35,000-ton super
dreadnaughts-the most modern
type of fighting craft possessed
by any battle fleet-at a cost OF
$50,0OO,00O each.
Keels are to be laid for these
two ships shortly after the turn
of the year. An executive order
from esident Roosevelt, eX-
pected to be issued after his re-
turn from South America, is the
single item holding up commence
ment Of construction.
To Match British
These two battleships will match
the new British ships of the same
tonnage. Congress gave the Presi-
dent authority to order conStruc-
tion in the event one of the sigma
tories Of the London Naval Treaty
started building.
The British Admiralty has an
nounced keels for two battleships
will be laid Immediately after eX-
piration of the treaty at midnight
of December 81.
Five other new battleshipS must
be added to the United States bat
tie fleet by 1912 if America is to
keep parity with Britain even un-
der provisions of existing naval
treaties. Construction must begin
by 1888 to be completed by 1912.
Construction of new battleshipS
is but one of the many items a
huge naval building program car
ried out by the United States dur
ing the past three year.
78 Craft Schedule
The Navy has under construc-
ton or just commissioned total
of 78 fighting craft. These in
clude: three airplane carriers. two
heavy cruisers, nine light cruisers,
18 submarines, nine light destroy
ers, 81 heavy destroyers and two
gunboats.
In addition work will be COM
menced shortly on the worlds
targets steel floating drydock, to
cost between SIS, 100000 and ST.
900, 900. This will be used at Pearl
Harbor, Hawaii, and will permit
repair at sea of the Navy'S larg-
est fighting craft, its battle ships
and airplane carriers.

PARIS, Dec. 4.-The pattern of
the Soviet Russian censorship,
even to its severity, has been
copied and in some cases i'm
proved upon by anarchiSt-ruled
Barcelona.
All letters and kilograms arriv-
ing in Catalonia are examined"
by censors. This system has led
to the arrest, imprisonment, and
execution of unknown numbers of
persons suspected of Fascist SYM
pathieS.
The censorship is no respecter
Of diplomatic pouches, which al
ready have been violated, and as
a result American and other con-
suls express the wish that no in
quiries about relatives or friends
be made through them, because
the person or persons inquired
about frequently disappear" In
these cases it Is impossible to
learn what has become of them.
Caught in News Fluke
For example, when the press
throughout the world carried pre-
mature news" of the capture of
Madrid by General Frances insur-
gent troops, SpaniardS and others
from many countries wired con-
gratulations to the general, ad-
dressing him simply in Madrid
and advising him of friends and
relatives in hiding, asking him to
care for them, and assuring him of
their fascist leaningS.
All these messages fell into the
hands of the government, and
there was grim laughter among
officials.
All outgoing mail from BARGE
Iona, even to postcards, is cen
sored, and single suspected word
can cause the communication to
be denied delivery from the city.
The Soviet system of cenSoring
outgoing telephone calls is copied
in detail. Any long-distance call
must be made from the telephone
building, where two copies Of the
intended conversation must be
presented to the cenSorS.
After censoring, the two copies
are stamped with the official and
awe inspiring Eel Sots-Delegat de
la Generalitat de Catalunya a la
Companyia Telefonica."
CensOrs Courteous
In a small room, with censor
who speaks the language in which
the message is written. the person
making the telephone call is con-
nected with his party. When the
called party answers, the message
is read, while the censor, another
phone to his ear, listens to the
correspondents replies and follows
the copy of the written text.
A word is not changed, and it is
well for the calling party that
the person at the other end says
nothing indiscreet.
Personally, I found the censors
most friendly, and they even per-
mitted me to ask my Paris office
if they had any letters or instruc'
tions for me. They were nice men
doing a disagreeable job.

dale, the veteran seeking the dog,
explained to The Times that he
was now undergoing treatments at
the Mayo Clinic in Rochester,
Mimi, and was hoping to have
mis- sight restored in the near
future. This, he added, was the
reason he did not want to secure
a dog from the regular training
school that Speciallzes in train
ing dogs for such work, since these
dogs are trained as "one-man"
dogs and he did not want dog so
trained.
