cotton market, the industry will op-

worker-consumer will have less un-
certainty about his job.
Slumps Cut Food Budget.
The direct relation to agricultural
production and the budget Of the city
consumer was pointed out by Mr.. Bean
in talk in Springfield, H., where
he said:
In 1929 the average employed in
dustrial worker earned about Sl,400.
OF this total he paid out about s49O
for food, leaving about $91O for other
living costs.
In 1888 the average employed in
dustrlal worker earned about $1,O2O,
and his food bill, for the 1929 quanti-
ties per capita, was reduced to about
S3l0, leaving about $40 for other
expenditures.
During the first eight months OF
1887 a great many more were en-
ployed than in 1888, and their aver
age earnings were about $3.50. The
food bill had advanced to about $4OO,
an increase of nearly 80 per cent
above the low costs of 1898.
1T was this percentage increase
that received most attention and not
the fact that food costs in 1887, even
with the advance in prices, took a
smaller share of the average employed
workers earnings than in 1929.
Food Budget Low in 81.
In 1929 typical food budget re-
quired IS per cent of annual earn
ings, in 1880 only 30 per cent, and
after paying for the food bill tie
average employed worker in 1897 had
nearly as much money left for other
living costs as he had in 1929. -.~..-.,
II We take into account the fact
that in 1887 both food prices and
non-food living costs were lower than
In 1929 the average employed worker
in 1887 really had a larger purchas-
ing power in terms of goods and
services than in 1929.
The real difficulty was in the
fact that in the first part. Of 1887
We still had 100000 to 7,0o0. 600

Ship the report argues stoutly against
substituting airplaneS or submarines
for battleships. 1t says further that
the same argument in favor of air.
planes, submarines and coastal motor
torpedo boats could be used in the
case OF cruisers and destroyers, and
more properly, because these vessels
are far more vulnerable than bat
tleShips.
Great Britain, France, Italy and
Germany are all building battleships
OF the largest size and Russia is plan
ming to build some," the report says.
The only conclusion that can be
reached from their decision to build
such ships is that they still have a
place in their schemes of national de-
fense and that the cost of their con-
struction is justified
AS a matter of fact, the report ar
CUES, it is cheaper and more effective
to build battleships whose effective
lives are rs years, than airplanes, with
a six-year effective life.
Inc aim, under the bill, Is to bring
the naval airplanes up to a total of
5000. The committee regards this as
essential. With regard to the plans
for experimental building of small
vessels, the report says:
"The Navy Department considers it
essential that a number Of new types
OF small vessels be constructed, such
construction to be regarded as expert
mental, so that In the event of q
national emergency ships of these
types can be put into quantity produc-
tion at once. The British, Japanese,
France. Germany and Italy are devel-
oping and building small, high-speed
ships and boats for coastal defense
purposes as well as boom defense ships
and net layers"
The report defends the much-criti-
cized plan to construct another big
lighter -than-air craft, observing that
this branch of aeronautics should be
fostered and developed.
In conclusion it says:
The committee looks with appre-
hension and disfavor upon the general
increase in naval building throughout
the world, but it realizes that no single
nation can reduce its naval armament
without jeopardizing It's national &C.

against attack by any one of the treaty

that treaty limits have been cast aside

Navy to appoint a board of not less
than five officers to investigate and
report on the need of additional sub
marine, destroyer and naval air bases
on the coasts of the United States and
its possessions.
In order to improve and maintain

the committee directs the Navy De-

"such vessels as the President may
determine to be necessary"
