Future Is Dubious,

To u. ). Chamber
Secretary Jones Predicts
National Debt of
500, ,000, 900, 900

From two men high in Govern
ment, the United States Chamber of
Commerce today received hints of
things to come in the war emer-
gency.
Secretary of Commerce Jones
warned that sacrifices are in store
for u.s. and said he believed the
national debt would rise to $780,
900 100000.
Admiral Harold r. Stark, chief of
naval operations, said no genera
ton of Americans ever faced a
future so dubious and threatening"
and that the United States Navy
would carry out its responsibility"
to see that our merchant ships and
citizens proceed 'on legitimate
affairs" without fear anywhere in
the world.
Secretary Jones and Admiral
Stark appeared before the chamber
during the second day of its goth
annual session here. Gen. George
G. Marshall. Army chief of staff,
also was scheduled to address the
group.
"a few months ago We were wor-

to increase Government borrowing
authority above S45 100000, ,000,"
Secretary Jones said. 1T seems
probable now that it will grow to at
least double that amount, even al
lowing for paying as much of this
extraordinary cost as our economy
can stand from current taxes.
Frankly, it has never occurred to
me that We could not carry a ma
tional debt equal to a years income,
and as We build the national income
We can carry more debt.

The Commissioners today Endorsed
unanimously the Capper-Sumners
resolution for a constitutional
amendment to empower Congress to
grant the District national represen-
tation and a greater degree of local
f-government.
Speaking for his colleagues before
the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee,
Commissioner Young said:
The Commissioners have given
serious consideration to S. J. Res.
35, Seventy Congress, pro-
posing an amendment to the Con-
stitution of the United States pro-
viding for national representation
for the people of the District OF
Columbia. and are unanimously in
favor of the resolution.
1T is our belief that this proposed
amendment is not only in complete
conformity with American princi-
pies, but the interest of the District
of Columbia would be materially
benefited by representation in the
two Houses of Congress.
The feature of the resolution,
which would extend judicial power
of the United States to controversies
to which citizens of the District of
Columbia are parties, would supply
a need of long standing"
Young Urges Passage.
The Central Labor Union "a. F,

also appealed for the right of self
government for the people of the
District.
Mr.. Walker suggested the District
of Columbia in its present condl-

ed to urge passage of the suffrage
resolution as an individual native
born Washingtonian.

Commissioner after many years of

For Site of Hospital,

By CARTER BROOKE JONES.

The War Department ignored rec
concentrations of the engineering
firm engaged to lay out the new
cantonment for the 29th Division at
Fort George G.. Meade, Md. and, as
a result, the camp was delayed and
cost more, w. c. Roberts, project

for which the firm drew plans.
The engineers, he said, recon-
mended locating the hospital ad-
jacent to the landing field, where
there were good roads, the land was
level and the soil was favorable.
The War Department, however, re-
quired the contractors to put up the
hospital in the northern part of the
Franklin area, where the division
cantonment was built, Mr.. Roberts
pointed out.
AS a result, he said the contractor
had to disregard economy and put
speed above everything else"
The northern half of the camp,
Mr.. Roberts testified, unlike the
rest. was of soil which has no
facilities to absorb water"
The site which the Army chose
for the 70-building hospital turned

LONDON, April 29.-With snap
py No sir" Prime Minister Church
i'll fatty rejected today suggestion
that he form a streamlined supreme
war cabinet and called for vote of
confidence next week on his conduct
of the war.
Mr.. Churchill put the question of
his conduct of the war in general
and the ill-starred Balkan campaign
in particular before the House in
announcing that debate would be
held next week on the entire issue.
The House greeted with loud
cheers Mr.. Churchill's announce
ment that it would be offered the
following motion for debate:
THAT this House approves the
policy of the government in sending
help to Greece and declares its con-
fidence that our operations in the
Middle East and all other theaters
of war will be pursued by the gov
ernment with utmost vigor."
Eden to Take Part.
Mr.. Churchill said that if the
House wished the debate could be
extended over two days, explaining
that the government had arranged
debate on the first sitting day after
this week.
He indicated that Foreign Sec
retary Anthony Eden, whose trip
to the Balkans and the Near East
preceded the Greek campaign,
would take an important part" in
the discussion. Mr.. Eden is expect
ed to report on his diplomatic ef-
forts in the Near East to build up a
front against the axis.
To a supplementary question
whether Mr.. Churchill thought it
time to Invite empire statesmen to
join the war cabinet or an imperial
war cabinet similar to the last war,
the Prime Minister replied:
1--WE had debate about all this
some time ago. 1t was very fully dis
cussed and I gave very full ex-
PLANTATION to the House. I have
nothing 10 add.
Both questions concerning the
cabinet were put by Laborite Edgar
Louis Granville.
The Prime Minister declined to
schedule debate on Godfrey L. Man
der's motion approving declarations
of Lord Halifax, Ambassador to
Washington, recently in New York
address on British war and peace
aims.
Rejects Propaganda Change.
He gave a negative reply to a
question by Mr.. Granville whether
he would consider appointment of
an adequate" Ministry of Prop
ag2nda headed by minister with
a seat in the cabinet.
Mr. Churchill pointed out that the
House several times had shown a
desire to limit membership of the
war cabinet and also that the
present minister, Alfred Duff Cooper,
to be fully informed on what is
going on.
II hope the country will always
get all possible news on the war
situation" Mr.. Churchill said, "but
I hope, in fact I'm sure, the country
would not wish to receive news
which would add to the dangers of
our troops, whose dangerous and
critical operations are being success
fully carried out
The House cheered this reply.
The present war cabinet consists
of Mr.. Churchill. Clement Attlee,
Arthur Greenwood, Sir John Ander-
son, Mr. Eden, Lord Beaverbrook,
Ernest Bevin and Lord Halifax.
Only Greenwood, Attlee and Ander-
son are without other departmental
