t Act Held Legal
He spoke at great length on the
provision in the. act of Jupe-14,
1920, under which congress gave
to the secretary of . the navy , the
right. t "develop, conserve, use
and ..operate," the naval reserves,
and argued that act made It man'
datory for the head of the nary
to proceed with that program.
"Every portion of the statutes
is replete with instructions to get
the oil from the. field and. there
are no contingencies- no 'If'."
Bids 'Not Necessary
. Mr. -lacey-argued -that-the
powers granted to'-, the -secretary
of the navy under the aet were so
broad that re was not required to
submit the project to competitive
bidding. "The government," he
said, "charges . that the policy, of
the administration was changed
overnight from conservation to
one of exploitation. t- We say that
the act of 1920 which made it
mandatory for the secretary of
the navy t.o develop, conserve, use
and operate' the reserves was the
chang In the policy. and. that the
law itself, caused, the change."
Mr.- Lacey argued that the pow
ers of congress were not overrid
den because under the. act it .was
self-enyldent that if .development
were ordered there must have fol
lowed provisions ..for"; 9U storage
and that the , government con ten
tipn that oil storage tanks could

seek to build permanent peace for

' ' This pact .would guarantee ' the

Germany would renounce all idea
of ever going to war . to bring
about alterations in her eastern

tions across the chancel "can deal
successfully , and expeditiously with
the remaining obligations of dis
armament and the , evacuation of

self with what traspired jn. regard
to those elements of naval arma
ment for which no formula of liti
gation was found.
Work to, Be Finished
The president feels there is op
portunity for a conference to take
up and complete the work of the
1921 meeting which laid down the
5-5-3 rule, as to capital ships a&d
also found it possible tp limit pro
portionately aircraft carrier ton-
page and to fix the maximum size
of auxiliary craft and.paval guns.
A decision as to extending an In
vitation or even as to inforjial
sounding out of sentiment at for
eign capitals with regard to a fur
ther conference , is unlikely until
the secretary; has completed th
preliminary urveyf .

discussions with the eecretari cl
war and naty and with the rtt:!
and- military experts of the gov
ernment so the. president riay t s
made fully aware f.the practical
nd technical aspects of ;thet eup-
piemeatal -conference proposal.;,,
mere is no doubt the aircraft
question occupies a large place in
administration consideration of
the arms limitation matter.
. There is a feeling in some quar
ters, that failure of the original
conference to reach an aircraft
limitation agreement does , not
foreclose, another effort to that
end. Whether this vjew reflects
to Jtny extent recent official
thought en the question In Lon
don, Paris, Toklo and Rome is not
known.: . ,. .
