TIIE MOItXIXG OIIEGONIAX. TnUESDAT, DECEMBER 14, 1922 e 115 TREATY . PROPOSED IN HOUSE Cruisers and Fleet Subma- rines Are Problem. MORE CRAFT NECESSARY Appropriations Committee Serves Votlre That Building or Linii . tatlon Is Imperative. WASHINGTON". I. C, Dec. 13. (Ey the Associated Press.) Brunt notice that the United States cannot avoid a new naval programme in swift cruisers and fleet submarines unless treaty limitations are ex tended to .-Hich craft was served by the, house appropriations committee today in reporting the $29,806,638 naval appropriation bill. A six-line provision placed in the foil! by the committee requested President Hardini? to negotiate with Great Britain, France, Japan and Italy for such an extension of the treaty, limitation o aircraft to be included. A committee report said large cruisers and submarine programmes were planned abroad, adding: "In other words, competition is on again in the single direction to which the unratified agreement (the Washington naval treaty) does jiot extend, and if it be allowed to eo on unchecked, the purse strings again must be relaxed and this gov ernment, like all others, will be con strained to launch a new programme to the extent necessary to keep us at least abreast of any of the other (powers." Harding Not Consulted. President Harding was not con sulted by the committee with rela tion to its limitation conference re quest. The project for negotiations apparently came as a surprise, even to naval officials. It was originated .toy Chairman Kelley of the naval appropriations sub-committee. The chief reason prompting Mr. Kelley to propose a new naval conference was understood to have been the light cruiser programme recom mended by the naval general board. No mention of this is included in the 'published copies of committee hear ings on the bill. The programme urged, however, as necessary to keep the United States navy on a parity with other navies in cruisers, included 16 new light cruisers, with in the 10,000-ton size limitation of the Washington treaty and to cost J168.000.000. Administration officials who were closest to the Washington arms con ierence deliberations expressed the -view tonight that there appeared little likelihood of success for new jiegotiations to limit in accordance with the "5-5-3" or some other ratio the size of cruiser and submarine fleets. Agreement Basis Lacking. The conference, it was pointed out In prolonged discussions, had found no basis of agreement possible on these points or as to fighting air craft. The French position at the conference in opposition to limiting submarine fleets, it was added, brought a specific reservation by British delegates of the right to tiuild anti-submarine craft, such as light cruisers and destroyers, with out restriction save as to the maxi mum size of cruisers, 10,000 tons, and limitation of the maximum size of guns they could carry to 8-inch . weapons. In addition to the new cruiser programme the committee is known to have been informed of the gen eral board's recommendation that a start be made on modernizing the pre-Jutland battleships of the navy, the point being made that Great Britain has already remodelled to a large extent to increase gun range and deck protection her capital ships to be retained under the treaty. The American modernization project would cost in the neighborhood of $110,000,000, it lias been estimated. Lacking such remodeling work. American 14-inch-gun ships would remain outranged by otherwise simi lar but modernized British ships by five miles, navy officers have de clared. Precedent Is Sought. Faced with this double prospect of heavy naval expenditure in the near future, Chairman Kelley turned to the precedent of the accepted capital ship ratio in search of a way to avoid such outlays. The re quest to the president was placed t the verv end of the uo-page naval W. It reads: "The president is requested t nter into negotiations with the governments of Great Britain, France, Italy and Japan with the view of reaching an understanding or agreement relative to limiting the construction of all types and eizes of sub-surface and surface craft of 10.000 tons standard dis placement or less and of aircraft." The suggestion was made by some members of the house that the paragraph might be subject to a point of order and hence go out into the house. It was indicated, how ever, that there was every reason to believe the senate would put it back into the bill, which in the nape of a conference report woum lirinsr it before the nouse, to voted up or down. Expense Declared Great. It was said by committee friends of the Kelley proposal that the sav ing in capital ship expenditures under the arms treaty would be more than offset in the building of lighter vessels of a size permittee by the treaty, and that this situa tion possibly prevailed as to other participating nations. The bill will be taken up tomor row, and while the disarmament item is not expected to be reached before Thursday at the earliest. Mr. Kelley, in charge of the bill, will ex plain at the outset the nature of the request and give his reasons for the proposed step. Approving the committee action, Kepresent-tive Byrnes. Sout'j Caro lina, ranking democrat of the sub committee, said today that while the actual naval cost next year would reach $32X,000,00O. the budget of the British navy thU year, in cluding the colonies, was $333,000, tion, ' "These figures show the neces sity," said Mr. Byrnes, "for the pro vision requesting the president to call another conference for the limi laLiuu of naval armament not in cluded in the recent conference." When the naval bill, with its dis armament provision as prepared by Sir. Kelley's sub-committee, was presented to the full app opriations committet members it was ap proved without a word of discussion on that point. BOOTH MAY REPLY TODAY (r-ontiTmed Frm First Tage.) tire to appropriate the federal aid by congress leaves very little in sigrbt for co-operation. The Dalles California hig-hway on the south and north ends is now dependent on the federal aid and there are sev eral other important road projects which are in grave danger of nxJ materializing for years owing to the attitude of the law-making body at Washington, D. C. Oregon City and the highway commission locked horns yesterday. The commission has selected Sev enth street as a route through the town because it is safer and for a number of other reasons. Oregon City or, rather, the mayor and Chris Scheubel object and insisteii yesterday that the route would have to go on Fifth street or there wouldn't be any assistance offered by the city. The commission had agreed, if the Seventh-street route was financed, that the state would take care of the Pacific highway from Canemah to the city limits. "When the com mute from Oregon City yesterday afternoon laid down the ultimatum that the route had to be Fifth street or. nothing, the commission with drew its offer of assistance and in formed Oregon City that it will have to look for relief to the successors of the present commissioners. This action on the part of Oregon City means that Pacific highway traffic will have to bump along over the planks along the basin, across the tracks of the Southern Pacific railroad. The commission had de cided that Seventh street was the safest route, but that if the town re fused to finance that location the commission would make the loca tion permanent along the basin. Yesterday the commission simply let the subject drop. The highway commission has the power to locate highways through municipalities, but has no authority to buy the right of way or do the grading. Oregon City not only did not like the location and refused to ob tain the right of way, but the town. being financially embarrassed, it was not even paying for the neces sary grading, that money having been contributed by the Portland Railway, Light & Power company, the Southern Pacific and a mill or two. Grading Is Promised. Benton county assured the com mission that it will start grading the road between Corvallis and Al bany to standard as soon as possible, and Linn county agreed to main tain the present structure across the Willamette river for the life of the bridge. These agreements were made in order to have the Albany-Corval-lis road placed on the state map to connect the west side highway and Pacific highway. WThen the pres ent bridge is condemned, probably seven or ten years hence, the com mission stipulates that Benton coun ty will provide a new bridge with out cost to the state. Lincoln county's delegation of fered about" 512,000 for the Alsea highway, promised about $10,000 for the Devil's Lake-Neskowin section of the coast highway and asked that a road from Salmon -iver to Dolph be placed on the forest map for fu ture development. Lincoln county has $40,000 for a bridge across the Yaquina river at Toledo, and re quested the state bridge department to prepare a design. No progress was made by the Gilliam county delegation asking for completion of the 17-mile gap of the John Day highway in that county. The commission said that Gilliam county would have to contribute if the work is to be undertaken, much as the commission desires to close up gaps. Jackson county asked for a joint meeting of the commission and fed eral officers relative to grading and surfacing that last nine miles on the Crater lake highway between Pros pect and Medford. The meeting may be arranged this week. V Several Deschutes county matters were taken under advisement for a few days, among them being the section of The Dalles-California highway from Allen ranch 'south. This has been held up more than a year because of the prospect of the Benham Falls irrigation reservoir being built, in which case the loca tion of the road would have to be changed.

TREASURY RAID CHARGED Florida Democrat Declares Bill Is Designed to Pay Persons Not Entitled to Help. ; WASHINGTON, D. C, Dec. 13. The administration shipping bill was held up before the senate today as a measure "for the benefit of the American farmer, the American business man and the American na tion," and on the other hand as "a direct raid on the treasury to pay some people to do What ought to do what they ought to do without pay ment," The measure was before the sen ate for more than four hours, and during that time was praised by Senator Jones of Washington, chairman of the commerce commit tee, and was attacked by Senator Fletcher of Florida, ranking demo cratic member of .the same com mittee. While the discussion proceeded on the floor, foes of the measure and advocates of rural credits legisla tion further cemented their alliance designed to displace, thes hip bill in favor of the farm measure. Indications became increasingly apparent, however, that this move could not be made in the near fu- i ture, as no rural credit bill possess ing any considerable degree of sup port appeared in sight in the senate committee workrooms. Senator Jones, in concluding his opening statement on behalf of the shipping bill, which he began yes terday, appealed for the support of it by the farmers and by labor. He emphasized the national de fense possibilities of a firmly estab lished American merchant marine and declared that the German mer chant marine won the war for the allies. When senators expressed surprise at the declaration, he presented fig ures to show that German ships which were seized in American ports carried 600,000 American sol diers to France, whereas American ships transported only 248,000 troops. Senator Fletcher quoted Chairman Lasker of the shipping board as having said that "it is pure bunk" to charge that the cost of operating American ships was increased ma terially by the la Follette seaman's act, Read The Oreeronian classified adts.
