Mr.. Baldwin's action in agreeing

Beaverbrook wrote.
I'm the end, Britain was compelled

last thing in the world she wanted
was to have those securities iqui-

market was falling heavily.
But now came another chapter

All Nations Toll Rises

Aggregate Tonnage

BY the Associated Press.
The eighteenth week OF the war,
marked by a continued decrease in
destruction Of ships, saw a sharp
squirt in economic and diplomatic
activity as England took steps to
tighten its rule of the seas.
Sweden, possibly encouraged by
Finnish claims of military successes,
protested to Russia over the destruc-
ton of the Swedish coastal freighter
Fenris, 4S4 tons, In the Gulf Of
Bothnia. Survivors said Russian
submarine shelled the vessel and set
1t aflre.
U. s. Warns Britain.
Washington told Great Britain the
United States would hold her re-
sponsible for any damages suffered
by American ships forced into for
hidden waters for contraband
search.
The warning followed the taking
Of the freighter Mormacsun into the
control station at Kirkwall, Scot
land, about $50 miles inside the
Neutrality Acts danger zone.
The State Department said
Britain must pay if any American
ship Is torpedped by Germany
destroyed by mine or otherwise
damaged while undergoing such a
search.
Ship Requisitioning Protested.
England announced that Febru-
ary l the government would requisi.
ton the British merchant fleet Of
more than 5000 ships to speed ur
and solidify its program of obtain
ing food and munitions and captur-
ing the trade left by Germany's
almost idle merchantmen. The Brit.
ish plan follows a World War system
but it drew immediate protests, from
shipowners.
Although II new ship losses were
reported during the week only SIX
actually occurred in the seven-day
span. The others were combinations

Two of the sinkings were laid tc
U-boats, four to mines. The de-
cline in losses began shortly before
Christmas. Five of the II vessels
reported lost during the week were
German.
The toll of all nations rose to
29l ships with an aggregate tonnage
of 1,033,007 tons. Only one loss in
life was reported and that sent the
known death toll to 2,728.

Navy High Command
Reported Cool Toward
65,000-Ton Ships
House Committee Learns
They Favor Those Larger
Than $4,000, However

By the Associated Press.
The Navy's high command was
described by some members OF the
House Naval Appropriations SUBJ
committee yesterday as cool to the
idea of super battleships Of $4,000
tons or more, but in favor Of ships
substantially bigger than $4,000 tons.
Committee members said they
gained that impression from testi-
mony by Admiral Harold R. Stark.
chief of naval operations. The COM
mittee recently asked the Navy
Department to prepare data on the
cost of 65,OOO-t -tonners. Congress
already has authorized construction
of two 45,OO0-ton ships.
Admiral Stark told the commit
tee, it was learned, that even q
IS ,OOO-ton ship would not be big
enough to permit inclusion OF all the
characteristics which experts would
like to see incorporated in one bat
tleship. Despite the advantages
such warship would possess, he
was quoted as explaining, it would
also have disadvantages.
Proponents of bigger capital ships
contended they would so far out
match those of other sea powers in
speed, range, gun power and arma-
ment that this country would be
invulnerable to naval attacks.
1t was understood the Navy took
the position that existing naval
harbors and repair facilities were
inadequate to accommodate such
huge craft as 65 ,O0O-t -tonners.
Legislators said they believed the
Navy experts had not fully made
up their own minds, and this seemed
to be borne out by Secretary Edi-
sons statement that the Navy was
studying the question of exactly
what it wanted its battleships to
include, regardless Of their size.
| Battleships are not included in
the new $1,300,00O,0O0 fleet expan-
sion bill on which House hearings
are to begin tomorrow.

Reply to Hungary Seen.
After leaders of Bessarabia's S Rus
sian, Ukranian and German minori-
ties publicly declared allegiance to
Rumania, the King declared the
province will always remain Ru-
manian by the force of our arms"
The speech also was interpreted
as a reply to Hungarian efforts
recently encouraged by Italy. to re-
gain Transylvania by negotiation.
A declaration along similar lines
was made by Premier George Tata-
rescu January at Constanta, Black
Sea port. He mentioned Bucovina
formerly Austrian, as well as Bes-
sarabia.
THE whole country is united as
one man." insisted Gen. George

fatherland from the Dniester to the

The reference to the Dniester
River, which forms the Russian
Rumanian frontier, underlined
Carols warning to the Soviets. The
Tisza helps mark the boundary with
Hungary.
Offer Of Aid Reported.
The Kings speech conceded with
reports in well-informed quarters
here that Hungary, backed by Italy
had offered help to defend Rumania
against any Soviet Russian inva-
sion. In return for this help, these
circles had it, Hungary would re-
ceive about 10 per cent Of Transyl-
vania.
Should Carol refuse such an ar
rangement-and today's speech was
interpreted as a refusaERumanis

sia alone.
King Carols implied warning tc
the Russians was interpreted by
some diplomats as meaning thai
Rumania was heatened by Finland's
successful resistance to Russia. They
conjectured that he might be con-
vinced he could hold Bessarabis
without Hungarian and Italian hell

slider an offer involving the loss o.

which was part OF the old Austrian
