LIMIT ALTON OF
ARMS Is BEING
MUCH DISCUSSED
SUSPECT U, 5. AND GREAT
BRITAIN ARE SEEKING TO
BLUFF WORLD INTO CON.
FERENCE
By PRESTON GROVER
f1Rw aSaa,r~e@a n-~n

WASHINGTON, April Ger
tain shrewd students of foreign
affairs suspect the United States
and Great Britain are seeking to
buff the world into an arms linn
itation conference.
If the bluff works, both nations
viii be tickled pink and if it does
not they viii go right ahead to
fulfill their bluff, which is to build
war machinery such as no other
nation can build and preserve its
economic life.
Any suggestion that the United
States is cooperating in such a
manner with England Always
meets with emphatic denial from
Secretary of State HUI. The
United States, he tells al, is plow-
ing its own international furrow.
But the conditions of peace, Sc
curity and International trade
pleasing to England also seem
pleasing to the United States. So
lit is not especially surprising that
tL:en broad policies do not con:
fl.ct seriously.
Going Same Way
Thus while technically, Hull
can say that the United States
and England act independently,
for all practical purposes when
they start doing the same thing
together, even if not by. agree
ment, the effect is much as if they
were acting by agreement.
So it is that the naval building
program under way in the United
States becomes a part of the inter-
national factor created by the
British building program. That
the British ere not. blind to that
situation was indicated in the
comment of Chamberlain that
since 1914 England had not look
ed upon the United States as a
competitor at arms.
1t was recognized more posi-
lively even in the 1922 naval
limitations treaty. Prior to that
time britannia rules. the waves
was an international tradition. BY
the terms of that treaty England
agreed to rule only every other
wave, leaving. the alternates to
the United States under terms
CT the 5-5-3 agreement.
Race Aids Bluff
Break down of tn interna-
tional arms limitation has pre-
cipitated the British building
spree and the United States is
keeping a fair pace. Expendi-
lures for new warships for this
country ranging for several years
around s45,00O,O0O swelled
abruptly to 26,905, 600 in 1886.
Outlays for new warships for
1897 are estimated at $168,50O,-
900 and at $157,O0O,0Oo for
1888.
Technically these new ships
are needed to replace old ones
but it is not bad bet that If a
real disarmament conference
shaped up sentiment could be
generated in this country to scrap
a couple of ships for peace's sake.

Autopsy Report Expected
This Afternoon.
~ the Associated Press.

RICHMOND, Va, March ll,-Com-
monwealth's Attorney w. o, Fife OF
Albemarle County awaited a report
today by State chemists on analyses
Of the vital organs of Cleo SprouSe,
while attorneys for DR. r. G. Miller,
charged with murder in connection
with her death, reported some prog
ress" in defense plans.
But until the Commemorative at
torney reveals his specific charges we'd
rather not discuss our line of Defense ~
E. V. Walker of Charlottesville said
after he and three other defense at
torneys talked with the dentist in the
Henrico County Jail here yesterday.
T. A. Balthis, State chemist, said
his tests of the girls organs might
be completed in time to make a re-
port this afternoon to Fife, who saiQ
at Charlottesville further investigation
hinged largely on the chemist S
findings.
Balthis said the prosecutor had re-
quested the report be made known
only to Albemarle County authorities
Walker said, following the jail con-
ference, that the defense had dis
cussed the statement Sheriff J. Mason
Smith of Albemarle said Miller made
after his arrest.
Walker said he had never seen the
signed statement and Mr.. Fife told
me he didn't think a court would re-
quire him to produce it before the
trial"
Smith and Fife said the dentist ad-
mitted in the statement that he ad-
mlnistered the chloroform of which

One private, a tall, lanky, heavily
bearded soldier, announced: I'VE are

The commanding officer was stocky

All the other officers with him were
young men and most of the soldiers
from the ranks still carried their steel
helmets.
When anti-Fascist Italians fighting

their own language, the Italian in

Three hundred deaths were said to

Observers said that warships, traw-

sides in the civil conflict had imperiled
international shipping in and near
Spanish waters.
(The Dutch government ordered its
6,670ton cruiser Java to Spanish
waters to protect Dutch shipping after
insurgents were reported to have seized
two Dutch steamers and forced them
to discharge their cargo at an insur-

them. Inasmuch, however, as tn
amount of money available is not
sufficient for all the needs, the
State must choose, and it should
endeavor to choose wisely.
1t is important that the Houses
should avoid any attitude of merely
carrying their respective points
against each other and that the
political parties should take a SIM
liar attitude. 1t is the States need
and not the party advantage or the
prestige of either house that needs
to be considered.

in a controversy between them
than in the wisest expenditure OF

can serve no better purpose than
to keep the discussion concerned
solely with the needs of the State
and the merits of the proposals In
