The Navy asked Congress yester-
day "in view of unsettled conditions
in Europe" to subsidize construction
Of a $6,500,000 dry dock in New
York Harbor capable of handling
the largest transatlantic liners and
battleships.
Admiral William D. Leahy, acting
Secretary of the Navy, said in a
communication to the House that in
case of a European war, ut is highly
probable that the dockyards will be
heavily bombed and it would be de-
sirable to have in New York Harbor
a dock which can take not only the
largest merchantmen, but the
largest foreign battleships."
Present-day dock facilities in New
York, he added, were incapable OF
accommodating either the largest OF
the transatlantic liners or the pro-
posed 4S,00o-ton battleships.

The inflow of gold in recent weeks
has been the heaviest since the pre-

European hoarders, bankers as
serted, were shipping their gold di-
rect to American consignees with
out even offering it for sale in the
London free gold market. On ar
rival here it is sold to the Treasury
at $35 a fine ounce, minus small
handling charge.
Prior to the imposition of pre-
MUM on shipments by British insur-
ance companies, bankers said, a
small profit could be made by buying
gold in London at the equivalent of
$34.76 an ounce. The premiums for
space on the larger and faster YES
sells now run as high as az cents
per 500, which would make the
profit point about $34691a. Today's
London price was equal to $34.77 at
the rate of exchange prevailing at
the time Of price fixing, so shippers
lost money.
Rush for Safety.
The cost of sending gold to the
United States includes shipping
charges, basic insurance rate of
Az cents for each 500 of the metal,
a war risk rate of 81 cents, loss of
interest on the capital involved dur
ing the period of transit and the
Treasury's small handling charge.
The desire of European hoarders
to get their funds into dollars for
safety was indicated by the fact that
much of the 100000 increase in
this country's currency circulation
last week was reported to be in large
denomination notes either to be held
in safe deposit boxes here or shipped
abroad. At the time of the Sudeten-
land crisis last September it was es-
timated about SIS, 900 900 in currency
was shipped abroad. Much of that

Bonnet to Consult
Doiodier on Stand

LONDON. March "a (R.-The
French foreign minister, Georges
Bonnet. was expected to enter urgent
consultations with Premier Daladier
on a proposed stand against aggres-
sion upon his return to France to-
day.
M. Bonnet came here with Presi-
dent Albert Lebrun on an official
state visit, and he had this picture
to present:
Poland appeared to be the pivotal
state in Eastern Europe, now that
Germany had smashed Czecho- -Slo-
vakia, gained Memel and struck q
far-reaching trade bargain with Ru-
mania.
Poland still refused to join in an
anti-aggressor declaration with
Britain, France and Soviet Russia
without fiat military commitments
to assure her own defense.
In view of Frances long-standing
friendship with Poland, it was be-
lieved French efforts to persuade
Poland to join in a declaration
might be more likely to succeed than
entreaties from Britain, which Sc
far have failed This was believed
to be a primary point which M. Bon
net would discuss with M. Daladier
Russia has agreed to join in a
declaration against aggression, but
still wants a formal conference to
discuss possible further action. The
British cabinet has not taken a fina
stand IN this.
News of the German -Rumanian

gains access to vast stocks of oil

Proposal Not 10 Hike
Pay Roll Tax in 40
Delighted at Surrender
To Logic Condemnine'
Full Reserve Plan

Senator Vandenberg, Republican,
Of Michigan, who for two years has
been hammering at the provisions
of the social security reserve fund,
today commended Secretary of the
Treasury Morgenthau's proposal to
the House Ways and Means Com
mittee that the pay roll taxes be
not increased in 1910 in conformity
with the existing act
This is the healthiest thing that
has happened in a long time" the
Senator said. Il am delighted to
know that the Secretary of the
Treasury has finally surrendered to
the irresistible logic which has con-
demned the full reserve under
Title II of the Social Security Act;
that he now admits that it is un-
necessary to increase pay roll taxes
so per cent next year; and that he
is at least prepared to make a trust
fund instead of a jackpot out of
the proceeds of these pay roll taxes.
Attacked for Two Years.
Il commend his courage as we'll as
his wisdom in frankly abandoning
the errors which some of us have
been attacking for the past two
years.

offered another specific proposal
to freeze pay roll taxes where they
are within the past month. Hereto
fore, these proposals have often been
bitterly resisted by administration
spokesmen.
1T is encouraging to welcome now
a different attitude and to promise
every cooperation in working out
a rational substitute. Secretary
Morgenthau offers three alterna-
tives. I would choose the one which
leaves pay roll taxes where they are
in 1910 and would continue them
at these present levels until subse-
quent experience proves a later ne
cessity for change"

Committee, which in the Senate will

tee chairman declined to comment
at this time. In other quarters on
