j. s. ACTION HELD
ARMS RACE CAUSE
French Deputy Says Organ
ization-for- Idea
Is Responsible.
By the Associated Press.

oS tne hSoOCldteu TlcSo
PARIS, March 26.-The United
States is described as responsible for
the world naval-armaments race in
a report prepared by Deputy Marcel
Coquillard, independent radical, for
the Chamber of Deputies Naval Com
mittee.
The report recommending ratifi-
cation of the 1886 London naval treaty
is studded with numerous criticisms
of the role played by the United States
in naval conferences since 1921 when,
the professor of philosophy asserts,
the postwar signal for renewed naval
building was given by America.
He declares United States pride
was deeply offended by treatment of
her shipping during the war and that,
led by President Wilson, the Nation
was determined to have great fleet
powerful enough to maintain peace
Thus, while this great Pacific Ma
ton was refusing to enter the League
at Geneva" the report asserts, she
was giving the world the paradoxical
spectacle of being at the same time
the originator of the idea of organi-
cation for peace and the direct cause
of the armament race"
The document holds that the post
war naval program was the result of
a wave of building by England and
Japan, and declares that the United
States called the Naval Conference Of
1921 only when she realized that mar
roWneSs Of the Panama Canal made
1t impossible for her to compete with
proposed 45,000-ton Japanese ships
unless she resigned herself to separate
Atlantic and Pacific fleets.
Absence of Italy and Germany from
the 1886 treaty by Britain, France and
the United States is dangerous for
France, the naval report warns.
France must, it says, reach an un-
derstanding with Italy or make the
necessary financial effort and push
our building to the rhythm of the Eng
llsh program-'two hulls for one"
AS the report was made public $50
deputies announced last night creation
of a France United States group"
Deputy Max Hymans said the group
would do its best to make Americans
understand it is in their interest to OBJ
tain repeal of the Johnson act. We
will try to make the American public
opinion understand the difficulties we
are up against in France, and which
nation is really responsible for Euro
pean armaments."

He has read the rings of SIS of these

this is what he found:

scenes of explosions and fires. Spon'

The biggest bang in history was the
eruption Of the volcano on Krakatoa

Java and Sumatra. In August, 1888,
it started a series Of explosions
which lasted 36 hours and could be

were hurled II miles and gigantic

as was the social security program
for industrial workers.
The bill provides for:
|. Government loans to farm
tenants, farm laborers, share
croppers and other individuals
who obtain the major por-
ton OF their income from farming
operations" to enable them to
own small plots sufficient to car
ry on successful farming" The
loans would be for not more than
80 years and would carry three
per cent interest. lft.
2. A program for government
acquisition of submarginal land
in sections too poor or depleted
to yield living and diversion OF
these tracts to conservation prof.
ectS.
3. Government rehabilitation
loans, running not longer than
five years at three per cent, to
enable tenants to buy livestock,
equipment, supplies, or to refi-
nance Indebtedness.
1t would cost an estimated S15,-
900, 100000 to apply this program
to every farm tenant in America,
and the house elected to make a
modest start. The bill provided a
$40, 100000 appropriation for the
1888 fiscal year, S25, 100000 for
1899, and S5O,OOO,0OO for 1910. In
addition S5O,O00,000 was provided
for the retirement of submarginal
land over the three year period.
If the bill wins final approval of
congress a new alphabetical agen-
cy will be set up, the farm security
administration, which will act un-
der the direction of Secretary Of
Agriculture Henry A. Wallace.
Wallace will have broad discretion
as to what tenants shall receive
the government loans, but he will
be guided by the recommendations
of county committees comprising
three farmers residing in the
county. Committeeman will be
paid SO a day for not more than
five days a month so as to make
them federal employees constitu-
finally empowered to WELD the
authority granted them.

Millions OF Bags Surplus
Coffee Burned In Brazil
Rate of Destruction Soon
to Be Stepped Up to
100000 a Day

Rio dc Janeiro. Brazil, June 29.
-UP)- Coffee destruction to
maintain world prices, matter OF
vital Importance to the American
breakfast table, will be Increased
soon to 100000 sacks day, it was
reported tonight.
The present daily burning quo
ia is $4,000 sacks.
The increase will be in accord
ance with recently enacted meas
ures to bolster prices threatened
with reduction because of tremen-
dous over-production. Under the
control plan, 70 per cent OF the
crop will be burned.
Each sack burned costs the ma
tional coffee department an estl-
mated 100 milreis (S6.20, repre-
senting a daily expenditure OF TO-
900 contoS CS620.0OO).
Since Brazil began its present
coffee valorization plan in June,
1881. over 5O,OOO,OOO sacks, worth
more than a quarter of a billion
dollars. have been destroyed. The
1878 crop forecast for the
country's eight coffee-produclng
states was 26,OOO,00O sacks of 1922
pounds each. The forecast repre-
sents a surplus of approximately
100000 sacks inasmuch as to-
tai world exports. in which eight
other American republics and
some African colonies share, are
not expected to exceed 100000
sacks.
Faced by the over-production
plus accumulated stocks from pre-
vious SURPRISES, the coffee depart
mcnt recently announced a plan
to dispose of the excess. 1t was:
l. A sacrifice quota of 80 per
cent Of the crop to be paid for by
the department at the rate OF D
milrCiS a bag.
2. Forty per cent to be bought
outright by the department at the
rate of 65 milreiS bag. This cof-
fee as we'll as that purchased thru
the sacrifice quota would be burn
ed by the department.
3. 4 free quota Of so per cent.
An earlier schedule had called
for destruction of 100000 sacks
from July |. 1886 to June 80, 1887.
The burning plan has cost the cef-
fee department hundreds of mil
lions of dollars and it was report
ed recently the department owed
the Banco do Brazil more than
100000 contoS tS37,2O0,000 in
loans.
The decision to increase de-
Struction is contrary to the wishes
of Fernando Costa, president OF
the coffee department, who an
nomCed his opposition to the
burning coffee.
Surely coffee is a sick patient" p"
he said when elected to head the
department, but I mean to cure
it."
