S e P L i3 (AP) A general naval confer ence to consider all elasfes of fighting craft from the battleship to the submarine la proposed for as early In December as possible. - Th eaiiinar of such a conference toiaa been ; made possible - byHtn - agreement In principle Deiween the United States and Great Brit ain on parity In cruiser strength, which has been a stumbling block to full naral limitation since the Washington arms conference of 1921. I Japan, France and Italy, the other powers signatory to the Washington treaty, will be. invited to the conference at which the American government will pro pose that the ten-year holiday In the construction of capital ships be extended from 1931 to. 193. Second Meet la 1936 Possible The view here Is that by 1938. . . ... the date of the expiration of the Washington treaty, there should be an opportunity for a second conference, at which It should be possible to take even greater steps looking to a reduction of fighting hips of all categories,' as by that time the navies of the world would have been stabilised. It was made known officially today that the discussion between the United States and Great Brit ain on the cruiser question has narrowed down to the proposition of whether some 30,000 tons of cruisers shall b e embodied i n three craft carrying 8-inch guns or four to five smaller ships car rying 8-lnch guns, the size of wea pon the British government long has favored for. practically all cruisers. ' w December Confab To Get Question This Question probably will be left for the December conference, Jt is explained, and there Is no present thought that President VTruwnr and Rrnnsav MacDonald will undertake to settle It during the forthcoming visit or the Brit ish premier to Washington. Obsolence in submarine and tonnaee Is expected to bring about enualitv in these categories be tween the United States and Great Britain by 193. The Am erican navy now has a preponder ance of both of these types of ships, but several in each class coon pass out of commission, the nan department having announ ro todav that at least 35 of the present active list destroyers would be decommissionea ana eventually disposed oi. American and British IWfctrovpr Produced Th nresent idea Is that by 1936 both the British and American de atrnvar fleets will have been re duced to between 125,000 and 150,000 tons. A lesser reduction in existing submarine tonnage Is anticipated.. National needs create a more difficult question in cruisers. The prittah Ti a widespread islands end coast lines to .police in peace .time by. light cruisers, the United RtatAa reauires cruisers of wide teaming range because of a lack of naval bases. Th national obligations of Great Britain place their require ment la the neighborhood of 340,- .000 tons of cruisers to cover po lice duty and to balance other na val equipment, this is 110,090 iinn tiAinw th minimum demand ed by Great Britain at the tripart-. tte naval conference at Geneva in 1.927.

LONDON, Sept. 13(AP) Cardinal Bourne, primate of the Roman Catholic church In Eng land, speaking tonight in Albert Hall at a celebration of the cen tenary of the Catholic emancipa- rT. on act, spoke strongly against so-called sexual reform ideas which are being discussed here at length this week hy the third world congress for sexual reform. The cardinal called such ideas "degrading to holy matrimony." He said that "analysis of all mo tives set forth by earnest, well meaning and, I believe, conscien tious men, of hard cases . which they quote with a view to exten sion of facilities for divorce, all come to the .same thing, a cry of instinct for self gratification and the proclaiming of the impossibil ity of self control. "So too with the Apostles of birth prevention in a still more dangerous degree. How can those f who deliberately interfere with the natural processes of life preach purity to women whom they have taught to avoid the con sequences which once reinforced the hesitating voice of a vacillat ing conscience? No silly prating about the ne cessity of elucidating problems or that to the pure all things are pure or that claims of art must be satisfied, which we frequently hear, can change the mortal law or alter the fundamental facts of human nature." Besides the cardinal, the- arch bishops 'of Liverpool, Birming ham and Cardiff, with 20 bishops, assembled for the national ca tholic congress tonight. During the day the Union Jack and. the papal colors flew over Westmin ister cathedral in celebration of the centenary. " NEW YORK. Sent. 13.

He said an Important function of the theatre in society is to educate people in matters of sex. "But no one calls in play wrights as experts in these mat ters," he went on. "They choose priests instead, who are celibate yet claim to be experts. Sex Appeal Created Only by Clothing "As an expert, I say the only method of creating sex appeal la by clothes. Women hare taken a very large step toward nudity and sex appeal has vanished. Bring back clothes and It will be In creased. The voluptuous woman of the 19th century was a master piece of sex appeal, from the crown of her head to the soles of her feet. Everything about her, except her cheeks and nose, was a guilty secret. Modern women will probably be shocked by pictures of those Victorian ladles with ev. ery contour emphasized and up holstered. The Victorian age was an exceedingly Immoral age af fected with the disease of exhib itionism. Class Morality Is Held Oat as Goal "To the mass of people today art and beauty are nothing but debauchery. We must fight for class morality. There must be a division of morality for distinct sections of the community. One section cannot impose Its Ideas on the nation." . The congress for sexual reform today declared Itself against "all kinds of censorship on sex sub jects in literature, scientific pub lications and pictures." It was decided that "impropriety Is too subjective and indefinite to serve ag the basis for laws. Human be ings should be so educated as to be able to meet knowledge and to decide for themselvs what to avoid and reject." Adoption of this resolution fol lowed an address by Bertrand Russell, who advocated removal of all censorship laws.

(AP) Because boilers and en gines of 57 destroyers now on ac tive service are unsatisfactory and Bhow signs of wearing out, the navy department announced today that at least 30 and possibly all of these ships would be recom missioned with a view to eventual disposal. These destroyers are 57 of the Fore river-type, a group of war built ships which Admiral Hughes, chief of operations,, said had al ways been troublesome and would be expensive to refit the navy s active destroyer force will not be reduced, however, as each destroy er taken out of line will be re placed from 159 which are now tied up in reserve at Philadelphia and San Diego. Should all 67 of the unsatisfac tory ships be disposed of, the great preponderance of destroyers which this country has held over Great Britain would; be greatly re duced, the department said. The present destroyer force is 262, compared with 184 for the British fleet. Admiral Hughes said this reduction of destroyers did not figure In recent arms lim itation discussions with the Brit ish government, although it was kept In mind by American experts during exchanges. ' Decommissioning Is to be ac complished gradually, as funds ap propriated for modernization of old ships become available for work the crew of each destroyer will lay up the ship it is leaving, and will place ' its successor in commission, as this method is found the most economical. For river-type destroyers were known to be unsatisfactory at the time 153 were laid up, and the navy deliberately chose to wear them out In service, keeping Its superior ships in reserve. Admiral Hughes said. Former Bearcat Coach Passes on At Moline, 111. Cyrus E.
