ALL UNNECESSARY

Strangely, the President or the Secretary of the Navy may call up naval reserves. Only in the case of the Army does Congress assert it's power. And obviously, under the Constitution, Congress holds the purse strings Thus the President is handicapped. And he asks Congress to recognize a na- tional emergency.
 Some legal authorities argue that the whole fight is unneces- sary, contending that the Presi- dent already holds the power to wage war simply because the Constitution makes him comman- der in- chief.

Mexican Agreement
Held Up by Dispute
On Oil Seizure
All Other Major Questions
Reported Settled in
For-Reoehine Pact
BY the Associated Press,

| BY the Associated Press.
The oil appropriation problem,
major stumbling block in United
| States Mexican relations for sew
eral years is holding up conclusion
of far-reaching agreement settling
major questions between the two
nations, it was learned last night.
High State Department and
diplomatic sources said all other
points had been agreed on basically
but, because of the oil controversy,
it might be some time before the
| pact was signed.
The agreement is expected to
cover these points:
/. Payment by the Mexican gov
ernment of all American land
claims, including agrarian claims
dating back to 1867.
2. Two loans. each repeatedly for
$50 900 900 to Mexico. One, from the
United States Treasury, would be
used for stabilization of Mexican
currency and the other, from the
EXport-1mport Bank, for improve
ment of commerce
3, A pledge of military and naval
cooperation.
4. An arrangement whereby Mexi-
co will get preferential treatment in
United States silver purchases.
Following the oil appropriation. the
United States stopped giving Mexico
an advantageous position.
5. Announcement that hearings
will be held to determine whether
reclproca. trade agreement should
/ be negotiated.
6. Announcement of plans to
mediate. perhaps settlement. Of
! the dispute over waters of the Rio
Grande and Colorado Rivers.
The oil problem arises from the
Mexican governments appropriation
in 1898 of petroleum producing
lands in Mexico which we're owned
by American oil companies.
The Mexican government already
| has settled claims with some United
/ States companies as follows: Penn
Mex, 100000: Sinclair, s8,500,000
plus an oil purchasing contract;
Consolidated Oil, s4,000,0o0 with an
additional s4,5O0,O0O to be paid on
a 2i2 year basis.
The major unsettled claim is that
of Standard Oil of New Jersey. 1t
repeatedly has set the value of its
appropriated properties at 100000
whereas the Mexican government
contends the value of all ex-
,,ropriotad nronerties was bllt
100000.

Capital Canary5how
To Open It's Annual
Exhibition Friday
80 Glasses Expected
To Compete for Prizes;
Many CoIors Entered

The National Capital Canary Club
will stage its seventh annual open
show next Friday, Saturday and
Sunday at the Odd Fellows Temple,
4l9 Seventh street NV, offering an
exhibition calculated to give any
lurking rainbows an inferiority COM
plex.
It may come as a surprise to the
canary novice to learn that no less
than SO classes will be exhibited at
the shown almost every color
known to man. Besides the familiar
plain yellow canary, there will be
birds of white, green, blue, cinna-
mon, buff, fawn, silver and even
fancier colors like red copper,
frosted orange and apricot.
Club officials expect the show to
get bird from every State. Cages
of them are being shipped by in
dividual bird lovers who hope to win
one of the 30-odd cups to be
awarded, or at least ribbon.
One of the most unusual entries
will be that of the clubs president,
Mrs. Maude M. Anderson. She has
three patriotic red-white-and-blue
canaries. The late P. T. Barnum
would have smiled politely and
thought of dyes, but he would have
been wrong. There is no fake; the
colors are bred in the canaries, just
as they are in that familiar wild
bird, the -White-and-b wood
pecker.
1t seems that it is the ambition
Of canary clubs in various cities
to have representative types. The
National Capital Canary Club has
selected a bird with a white body
and dark or black head and wings
the Washington type. Some of these
will be on exhibit.
Most of the birds will keep silent
or stick to standard canary tunes,
but not all. One bird is capable
of whistling Yankee Doodle. An
other sings the Marseillaise.
Other entertainment will be pro-
vided at the show. Every night at
$50 O'Clock there will be a floor
show and on Saturday DR.. Malcolm
Davis of the bird sanctuary at the
National Geological Park, will give
q lecture on birds.
