TTTE MORNING- OKEGOXIAX. SATURDAY, MARCH IS, 101C.
ONLY ONE VOICE IS
AGAINST DEFENSE
Army Bill Debate in House
, Shows Unanimity of Senti
- ment for Preparedness.
LLONE SOCIALIST DISSENTS
- prospective Amendments Delay Fi-
l nal Vote Water Power Bill Will
; He Displaced by Chamber
lain Bill in Senate.
f ' WASHINGTON. March 17. National
defense legislation overshadowed every
other legislative issue today in both
houses ot Congress. The fact standing
Z out most sharply from a whole day of
" debate was that only one voice has
; been raised against military prepared
T. ness as a National policy that of
" IMeyer London, of New York, the only
". Socialist member of Congress.
The House completes more than half
of its schedule of 10 hours' general
debate on the Army increase bill. More
. than two-score members expressed
their views. The great majority fa
vored the committee bill, which is the
most sweeping military measure ever
Z considered in the country in peace
T times.
Many Amendments In Prospect.
:. Many amendments to be offered were
" announced, however, and the prospect
of passing the bill by tomorrow night
; virtually vanished. It may be late next
-week before the final vote is taken.
In the Senate Chairman Chamber
Jain announced that he would seek to
have the military committee's perfected
Army bill taken up next Monday. The
-water-power bill must be displaced to
permit this. President Wilson's appeal
for haste on preparedness measures, it
was thought tonight, would lead the
'' tower bill advocates to yield their
place without a. struggle.
r The failure of any organized oppo
V sitlon to the purposes of the Army bill
to show itself on the floor of the House
- led Representative Hay, chairman of
- the House committee, to abandon the
; night session provided for under the
special rule which gives the bill right
of way. The accumulation of amend
ments to be offered also influenced
his decision. They cannot be taken up
" until the 10-hour general debate is
7 ended.
- Debate Is One-Slded.
The general debate will -conclude
- early tomorrow and the struggle with
amendments begin. Several members
of the committee, all of whom signed
' the report on the bill, will propose
changes in specific sections. They are
; not bound by any committee agree-
- ment. As member after member added
:. his approval to the plan for increasing
the Army during the day, interest in
- the debate flagged. It was too one-
sided to attract a crowd.
Party lines were utterly forgotten in
- the discussion. Representative Hay
" faced the House for an hour, delivering
" no set speech, but ready to answer
questions from any quarter. Repre-
sentative Kahn, ranking minority mem
" ber of the committee, frequently inter-
vened to aid the chairman in presenting
- the committee's views. The two di
T vlded the debate time between them,
; since there was no one to lead an oppo--
eition.
C The bill was attacked sharply by Rep
resentative Gardner, of Massachusetts,
- Republican. He declared that while "it
- makes a noise like preparedness, it is
1 not a very noisy noise." To support
his assault -upon the figures as to what
the bill would accomplish, prepared by
- Representative Hay, Mr. Gardner read
a copy of a letter from Secretary
Raker, the new head of the War De-
partment.
Hay's Figures Disputed.
- The letter disputed the accuracy of
the figures by which Mr. Hay sought to
phow that 1,324, 90 men would be im
mediately available for a National
- Army if the House bill were enacted.
' T'sing the same method of calculation
as that employed by Mr. Hay, it was
declared "we should have now avail
able without any legislation 1.284,790
- men who have had some mijitary train
ing."
" "In other words," the letter added.
the only immediate effect of the pass
age of the House Army bill would be
to increase the regular Army by 40,000
men and even that increase, being added
in four annual increments, would re-
quire about a year's time to be re-
cruited and a still longer time to be-
come effective.
The letter presented reports and
- figures to support a conclusion that the
. actual number of men of military age
"" in the country who have had any mill
tary training at all is 473,708.
"The only adequately trained men in
" the country." it concluded, "are the
regular Army and the Army reserve.'
'- Army Officers Differ In Views.
.' The severity of this official arraign
. ment of the House bill astonished many
; members. At the War Department
Secretary Baker said there was no con
troversy between Mr. Hay and himself.
" rI he variance in figures, he explained,
- resulted from different opinions held
by officers of the War College, which
'. supplied the information contained in
i the letter to Representative Gardner,
and the Adjutant-General's office, the
source of Mr. Hay s estimates.
Representative Hay appeared unper
. turbed over the incident. He is said
to fully realize the situation at the
War Department, where Secretary
- Baker has been devoting his personal
attention to the Mexican situation al
most exclusively ever since he took of
; fire on the day after the Columbus mas
sacre. Mr. Baker has had no time even
to read the Army bills or any of the
numerous reports on them from his
; own advisers.

contracts for 40 and 80 acres each. Mr.
Williams said, however, it was hi
opinion that the amendment would no
nffect Mr. Lind s contract or his land.
nut his explanation did not satisfy th
committee, especially In view of the
fact that Mr. Lind. who Is an able law
yor. left Washington satisfied that th
amendment would perfect his title.
Lands Valued at 9150,000.
Members of the committee also
learned that Mr. Lind, because of his
"pull" with the Administration, had
been allowed to sit with the attorneys
of the Department of Justice and of
the Interior Department at the time
they were formulating the report which
the Attorney-General later sent to Con
gress. Since the Llnd controversy
arose, investigation of the records has
been made and shows that the 5000
acres covered by C. A. Smith contracts,
and supposed to be tfhe land trans
ferred to Lind. lies in the heart of C. A.
Smith's big holdings, and is heavily
covered with sugar pine and cedar. Ac
cording to Government estimates, this
land is worth not less than $150,000. or
more than twice the amount of Land's
claim against C. A. Smith.
Aside from clearing up this situation,
the sub-committee tentatively agreed
to section one of the Chamberlain bill,
but made one important change.
Recovery Date Is F"lxed.
As the Chamberlain bill was Intro
duced it provided that title to such
grant lands "as have not been sold"
shall revest In the United States. The
sub-committee believed this would
mean lands not sold on the date when
the pending bill becomes a law, and
might permit the railroad company, by
contract or otherwise, to sell lands be
tween now and the date of the final
passage of the bill.
They also were fearful there might
be some juggling of executory con
tracts, so they inserted a clause which
provides that the Government shall re
cover all grant lands not sold by the
railroad company prior to April 30, 1908.

WASHINGTON. March 17. The TTnlte

allied armies in the last year and a
half, according to export ugures as
sembled today in the bureau of foreign

Despite a diminished sunnlv. the
price of farm animals has dropped con
siderably within the last few months,
which is explained b.y the statement
that only the best horses left the coun

also by the increased use of gas en

The average price January 1. 191 fi.

NAVY BACK 2 YEARS
Appropriations Lie Idle and
Building of Submarines and
Dreadnoughts Is Delayed.
CONGRESS KEPT IGNORANT
withholding of Contracts for Big
Ships and Impossible Require
ments for Submersibles Are
Charges Openly Made.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, March 17. Secretary of the
Navy Daniels, a recent convert to the
doctrine of preparedness, and about
whose conversion there is considerable
doubt, is proving himself a clever
little ally of Secrelary McAdoo in hold
ing down Government expenditures.
And this is how he is doing it:
The naval appropriation bill, passed
and signed March 3, 1915, just a year
ago, appropriated $3,000,000 to con
struct two seagoing submarines "to
have a surface speed of 25 knots or
more, if possible, but not less than 20
knots." .
Now, one year after the appropria
tion was made, the Secretary of the
Navy announces that it is not possible
to build submarines with a speed of 20
knots, let alone 25 knots or more, so
the money appropriated by Congress
will be held in the Treasury until Con
gress takes further action.
This procedure would not be open to
criticism, but for the fact that the
technical men of the Navy, those who
have made long study of submarines,
told Secretary Daniels, in January,
1915, that it would be impossible to
build submarines with a speed of more
than 18 knots.
Reqalrements Impossible.
All agreed that it was a physical Im
possibility, for $1,500,000 to build a sub
marine that could make 25, or even 20
knots on the surface. To get this
speed very large boats must be built,
and at a cost away in excess of what
Congress appropriated.
Instead of giving this information to
Congress while it was considering the
naval appropriation bill last session
Secretary Daniels suppressed the views
of the naval experts, he himself know
lng nothing about the speed of sub
marines and Congress, in its igno
ranee, blundered ahead and appropriated
$3,000,000 for two boats, but stipulated
that the boats should make not less
than 20 knots. This meant that none
of the money could be expended, and
no contracts could be let, unless the
builders would guarantee a speed of
more than 20 knots.
Secretary Daniels had his depart
ment prepare plans for speedy sub
marines; he advertised those plans,
various builders took them, and then,
in due time, all informed the depart
ment that they could not build sub
marines that would develop the speed
required. Then, one year after the ap
propriation was made. Secretary
Daniels announced that no bids could
be secured. This left the $3,000,000
tied up In, the treasury, and it will be
another year before any steps are
taken looking to the building of these
two seagoing submarines.
Inlqalty Is Double.
The iniquity of the performance is
double. The Secretary let Congress
fool itself and the country, and he held
back the naval-building programme for
two years, so far as this type of vessel
is concerned.
Coupled with this incident, attention
is again directed to the manner in
which Secretary Daniels has deliber
ately delayed the construction of the
two dreadnoughts authorized In the act
of March 3, 1915. Last Fall the Sec
retary awarded contracts for these
two ships to the Navy-yards at Mare
Island and New Tork, after declaring
the bids from private yards to be ex
cessive. For these ships Congress had appro
priated $7,800,000 each,- or $15,600,000 in
all. That sum, though available for
more than a year, lies untouched In the
treasury, and the first of it will not be
drawn out before December of the pres
ent year, a delay of nearly two years.
with possibility that the first payments
will not be advanced until some time In
1917.
LADD COMPANY STEPS Ifl
REALTY DELEGATES TO BE SEXT
TO JEW ORLEANS MEETING.
Board Decides Not to Have Portland
Represented, bat Company Orders
Tito of Own Men to Go.
After the members of the Portland
Realty" Board decided yesterday not to
send their two elected delegates to the
annual convention of the National As
sociation of Real Estate Exchanges, at
New Orleans March 27, the officers of
the Ladd Estate Company, who de
clared that it would mean much to
Portland to be represented at the big
gathering, decided to send two of their
membership as the official representa
tives of the Portland board.
Accordingly Frederick H. Strong,
manager of the Ladd Estate Company,
and F. N. Clark, selling agent for the
combined Ladd properties, will leave
next Tuesday for New Orleans via Call
fornia points. They will spend an en
tire week at the convention and will
then make an extensive visit to all the
large cities of the East, where they
will study real estate conditions and
marketing methods. They hope to use
these ideas-to advantage in the com,
ing campaign for the sale of the SlGf.-
000,000 worth of uni.mproved Ladd
property holdings in and about Port
land.
"The Portland Realty Board is the
fourth largest realty body in the coun
try and we feel it would be a shame
not to have representation at New Or
leans," said Mr. Clark yesterday. "The
Ladd Estate Company thinks enough
of Portland's reputation as a progres
sive, prosperous city to spend between
$1000 and $1500 to send two delegates
East.
The Portland Realty Board is fi
nancially able to send the delegates
but F. E. Taylor and Paul H. Cowgill,
president and secretary, respectively
of the board, who were Instructed to
go, felt that the money could be spent
to better advantage in equipping the
newly acquired offices of the board in
the Henry building. In spite of the
protests of a large number of mem
bers the board yesterday ordered the
expense money diverted to the office
fund.

San Francisco Better Than
Sound, Says Admiral.
CANAL MUST BE GUARDED
Ample Yard at California Port to
Build Battleships Needed lor
Pacific Coast Is Advised.
Gnatanamo Also Needed.
WASHINGTON. March 17. Rear-Ad-miral
Benson, chief of the bureau
of operations, told the House naval
committee today that San Francisco
Bay should have a navy-yard "adequate
to build aa many battleships as might
be necessary for the Pacific Coast,"
tt ald a first-class plant there would
be vastly more valuable than one at
PuE-et Sound and that he did not fa
vor the $2,000,000 appropriation passed
by the Senate yesterday for improve
ment of the Puget bouna yarn.
San Francisco, the Admiral arguea,
was more central man i
and had a larger body of water and a
hotter fortified bay entrance. Puget
Sound, he added, was not only very
near foreign territory, but In position
where it is easily approached Dy na
tions across the Pacific.
South Atlantic Base Needed.
Admiral - Benson strongly favored
Guantanamo as a primary navai Dase
in the Caribbean.
"I believe from the lessons of the
European war," he said, "mat t'lere
ahmiiA be. somewhere south of Cape
Hatteras, yards ana qocks wnere our
hln could go. The question oi tne
military force necessary for land de
fense ot Guantanamo, of course, has
been considered, but we hope the fleet
could defend it.
The Panama Canal, the Admiral said,
should be strongly fortified and a large
military force should be kept there.
Canal Mnat Be Kept Open.
"We should keep the Canal open at
all hazards," he declared. "If we had a
fight on the northeastern portion of the
Caribbean Sea and were defeated by the
enemv and were cut off from Guanta
namo, we might have to take our ships
under protection of the guns or tne .a
nal at the entrance and take them from
the Canal to the Pacific."
Admiral Benson also said he favored
a certain number of battle cruisers, but
did not favor diverting the Navy's ener
