MILITARY BILLS
Naval Group Warned of
''Concerted Effort" to
Spread Fascism.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The House Military Affairs Commit
tee approved today bills to re-estab-
lish an Army Reserve of enlisted men
and to increase the authorized number
of Regular Army commissioned OIL
GERS to 1869.
Meanwhile. the House Naval Affairs
Committee heard Representative
Scott. Democrat, of California say this
Government should recognize the pos
sibility of q concerted effort by Ger
many. Italy and Japan to spread
Fascism to the United States" Mr..
Scott issued his warning during ques-
tioning of Representative Fish. Re-
publican. of New York concerning the
iatter's opposition to the $500, ,000, ,OOC
naval expansion bill.
The Military Committee, Chairman
May reported, postponed until next
Wednesday action on q bill intended
to prevent wartime profateering.
Mr.. May declined to disclose the
reason, but Representative Maverick,
Democrat, of Texas, an opponent of
the measure, said smilingly that some
dirty so-and-so was filibustering.
Reserve Of 75,eos Men.
Representative May said the enlisted
Reserve legislation recommended by
President Roosevelt was intended to
establish a Reserve of $4,000 men in
four or five years. He said the cost
would be approximately 100000.
The ofncer measure would permit an
increase of about 1000 commissioned
officers in the Regular establishment.
he said.
Only men with military experience
who are under 36 years of age would
be enlisted in the Reserve. War De-
partment officials said they expected
70 per cent Of the privates who leave
the Army to go into the Reserve.
In inactive status their pay would
be $24 q month. The President could
call them to active duty only in an
emergency.
In the Naval Committee, Representa-
tive Scott, referring to the Com
munistic pact signed by the three pow
ers, said:
"Japan's espionage is well known,
and the propaganda being spread in
South America by Germany and Italy
is likewise we'll known.
Il believe this Government should
recognize the possibility of a con-
certed effort on the part of those
three nations to spread Fascism to the
United States by one means or an
other
Sees Neutrality in Danger.
In reference to Representative Fish s
advocacy OF invocation of the neutral
ity act against Japan in the current
Far Eastern crisis. Mr.. Scott declared
such action would "endanger" this
country's neutrality rather than pro-
tect it.
Representative Scott asserted the
United States could not fear too
much the possibility of an illogical
action by Hitler, Mussolini and the
Mikado"
Mr.. Fish replied that might be true
Of. each of those rulers at home, but
he expressed belief they all had their
hands too full of domestic troubles to
give this country cause for worry.
Mr.. Fish later told the committee
State Department officials had in
formed him Japan had agreed to stop
all salmon fishing of the Alaskan
coast.

KENNEDY DEFENDS
MARITIME PLANS.
Takes Sharp Issue With
Secretary Perkins on Me-
diation Proposals.
BACKGROUND

BACKGROUND
After months OF inquiry into
American merchant marine. Mart
time Com mission issued vigorous
report assailin0 both shipopners
and labor tor responsibility for dis
turbed conditions As one remedy,
commission proposed labor media
tion laD similar to railroad lar.
National Labor Relations Board.
National Mediation Board and
Labor Department all hare opposed
suggestion.
bS the Associated Press.
Joseph p Kennedy. chairman of the
Maritime Commission, taking sharp
issue with Secretary of Labor Per-
kins. urged a Senate committee today
to approve his proposal for Govern
ment mediation of maritime labor dis
putes.
Chairman Kennedy appeared be-
fore the Senate Commerce Commit
tee which has heard Miss Perkins op-
pose his proposal as premature" be-
cause the industry was not ripe"
Stoutly defending his suggestion for
settling maritime labor troubles along
lines now operating for railroads, Mr..
Kennedy said the Government should
not subsidize merchants ships unless
they are manned by competent and
contehted seamen."
Unless labor conditions in the mer-
chant marine can be stabilized by the
substitution Of consideration and CO.
operation in the place of hostility and
recrimination. labor, management and
the general public alike will suffer-" he
told the committee.
Reference to Opposition.
Referring to the opposition of Miss
Perkins and spokesmen for maritime
unions. Mr. Kennedy said not one Wit
ness had voiced q single sound objec-
ton to his labor proposals for ADJUST
ment of disputes in the industry by
arbitration and mediation"
He quoted Secretary Perkins as say
ing application of principles Of the
Railway Mediation Act would be pre-
mature" for the reason that "the en-
ployes are not fully organized" and
then commented:
This Is q strange argument. 1t is
said to be premature to put into op-
Grafton machinery designed to prevent
strikes and lockouts in an industry
which in 10 months Of 1887 lost ap-
proximately one million man-hours OF
work by strikes and lockouts"
Comments on Statement.
Later Mr.. Kennedy again referred to
the statement Miss Perkins had made
and commented:
Il submit that if the maritime in
dustry is not ripe for conciliation and
mediation of its labor disputes. then
it is over-ripe for ruin"
Mr.. Kennedy appeared before an
executive session of the committee to
give his views on what Chairman
Copeland called controversial amend
ments" proposed for the present Mari
time Subsidy Act.
Chairman kennedy had proposed
most of the changes in the Subsidy
Act after = critical survey Of the en-
tire merchant marine.
Stormy protests by organized labor
and Secretary Perkins had brought
q substitute from Senator Gudey,
Democrat, of Pennsylvia, which would
outlaw sit-down strikes at SEA. set
up wage standards for al shipping,
and provide system Of self-arbitra-
ton of disputes by unions.
Suggestion ON Building.
Mr.. Kennedy also suggested that
subsidized American ships be con-
structed In foreign yards whenever
