Maryland's newly inaugurated
Gov. Herbert r. O'Conor warned
the Nation today against dangers
Of "balkanizing" free trade in this
country by discriminatory State leg

Opening the afternoon session of
the Fourth General Assembly of

at the Mayflower Hotel, the free
State Democrat asserted local gov

try.
Safes, he said, must prove that
they are capable Of meeting the
complicated questions pressing for

that Federal Intervention is not al
ways necessary, because the States
can handle their own problems to
the satisfaction of their own people" {"

the session, criticized the Short

held up as ideals for State govern

action would be.
In announcing his stand, Senator
Norris told reporters:
THE people who are endeavoring
to cut this appropriation are not
familiar with the relief needs of the
country. There was a thorough
study of the situation before the
President made his recommendation
and it ought to be accepted"
Senator Borah said he understood
that the circumstances of many per-
sons on relief were "fearfully bad"

has gone into politics or TO the Of

said, but I do know that the people
who ought to have it are not getting
enough to live decently.
MANY Living Like Beasts"
II am for economy, but there are
plenty of places to cut Federal ex-
penditures without taking it out OF
the hides of poor helpless people on
relief. Many of them are living like
beasts, hundreds of thousands OF
them.
Il know there is lot of waste and
mismanagement in w. P. A., but
am not going to have it on my con-
science that I do not vote for what
those in charge say is necessary"
OF the advocates of a smaller ap-
preparation, he said:
They are proposing to drop 200,-
600 workers in the dead of winter
and 100000 more when the colo
March winds are blowing. God
knows what those people are going
to do unless they starve.
THE poor people of this country
are much more of problem than are
the armies and navies of foreign
nations. When the armaments ap-
preparations come along there will
be no close figuring"

Meanwhile, Senator Wagner
Democrat, of New York, urged the
establishment of the National
Employment Sterilization Board te
direct longtime public works
program supplementing emergency
relief.
Announcing that he would sup
port an increase in the relief bill
Senator Wagner said he thought
steps should be taken also to set ur
a centralized agency to plan aheac

Wagner sponsored in 1881, but was

TOXIC, Jan. 19.-Japan is gravely
concerned by United States naval
expansion plans, the naval Office
spokesman declared today, and fears
establishment OF airplane and sub
marine bases in the Pacific would be
but advance preparation for long
distance attack"
'Fortification of Guam q, 800 miles
from Japan would be like placing a
gun against the gate of a neighbor,"
said the spokesman, Rear Admiral
Shozaburo Kanazawa.
Fears for Mandates.
Establishment of bases at Midway
and Wake Islands, he continued
would surround "our undefended
mandate islands," and fortifcation
OF Guam, 'in the middle of the man
dates" would seem an unnecessary
way to treat Japan "in view of our
policy of non-attack and non-aggres-
Sion"
He emphasized that these man.
dates-the South Sea islands held
by Germany before the war-were
unfortified and under present inter-
national agreements could not be
fortified.
For this reason, the spokesman
said, Guam would have real stra-
tegic value if fortified" although
Japans objection to expansion in the
Pacific was moral rather than
legal" since no treaties exist to pre-
vent it.
From the experts point of view
establishment of plane and subma-
rine bases in the Pacific islands is
nothing but making advance bases
for long distance attack across the
ocean, Kanazawa continued.
Denies Ambition to Attack.
OF his own navy and nation he
said:
That the strength of Japan's
navy is not sufficient for long dis
tance attack across the ocean is
quite clear, not only from the ex-
perts' point of view but also from
a commonsense viewpoint. Our
national defense policy is to keep
the navy strong enough to defend
the western Pacific. We have no
ambition to attack anything outside
this area and no aggressive policy.
We do not understand the necessity
of expanding the United States
Navy with such tremendous budget
as this year"

that the railroad outlook is the
best in years.

a cost of about $10,00O,000.
In addition to the New York Con-
trails 1000 cars, recent prospective
or placed orders include Chesapeake
& Ohio, $500 cars; Pennsylvania, g.
500; Chicago, Milwaukee, st. Paul &
