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.

Senator Jones Sees Benefit
in Pending Measure.
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,
