Fiscal !
Continued From First Paee.)

lOtIl I II OF dEC'
Mr.. Roosevelt would view with favor
a suggestion the Senator himself
made for q modification OF the
Overton plan which would require
that the Federal payment be used
for capital outlays and not dumped
as it is now into the general revenue
fund of the District.
At the outset OF the conference.
Senator Overton said, the history of
the troublesome fiscal relations
problem between the Federal and
District governments was discussed
briefly. Senator Overton also ex-
planned his formula in detail.
Chairman Randolph told news
papermen that the President "recog-
nizes a need for a solution of the
fiscal relations problem that will not
be a recurring one from year to
year."
Gives Conditional Support.
Mr.. Randolph further said that,
If the Presidents suggestion bring
ing in the capital outlay angle" can
be written in as an amendment to
the Overton formula, Mr.. Roose-
welt will give it his active support
at the Capitol
Mr.. Randolph also echoed q state
ment made by Senator Overton. say
ing:
The President shows a surpris-
ing amount of information about the
District in connection with the de-
fense program here"
The fact that the President put
aside important national and inter-
national problems for half hour
to discuss the Districts serious fiscal
situation made a deep impression
on Senator Overton, Mr.. Randolph
and Commissioners Young and Nc
Coach.
Adoption of the Overton formula
which would base the annual Fed
eral payment, with certain excep-
tions, on the ratio of tax-exempt
Federal acreage to the total land
| area of the District, it is estimated
| would increase the National Govern
ments share in the expenses of the
local government from $4,000, 900 to
approximately $9,0O0,O 900 in the fiscal
year beginning July l.

Secrecy Of Arrival
OF British Warship
Is Praised by Knox
Secretary Points Out
Reporting Such Events
Is of Aid TO Nozis
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Secretary of the Navy Knox today
issued for publication the following
statement:
Il wish to commend the action Of
the press associations, newspapers,
broadcssting companies and photo
graphic agencies who have CO.
operated at my request in not re-
porting the recent arrival of a
British warship in this country.
When the lease-lend bill became
an act, I requested that all press,
radio and Photographic agencies re-
frain from reporting, in any form,
the movements or presence Of British
men-of war in this country for any
purpose whatsoever.
The Lease-Lend Act makes the
United States a repair base for
British war vessels. 1t is true that
many people can see these ships sS
they arrive and depart and before
they are swallowed up in navy yards.
1t is also true that enemy agents
can report these movements; but 1t
seems to me only SpOrtSmenllke that
the keen American press refrain
from giving a report of these ships
for the benefit of Britain's enemies.
At the present time this sort of re-
porting is of ineStimable military
value TO the Germans
IF a British warship arrives in
British yard for repair the fact
does not appear in print, broadcast,
or picture. The British people know
how vital it is to keep that sort Of
information down to the minimum.
Since the United States has
promised to give all aid TO Great
Britain, so far as repairs are con-
cerned, it seems TO me that it is our
patriotic duty to keep such informa-
tion about British war vessels 10 a
| minimum.
That minimum, to my way Of
thinking, is to print nothing I
sincerely believe the thoughtful
press will agree with this opinion. ="
