JAPANESES NAVAL EXPANSION TO BE EMPHASIZED FOR NEXT EIGHT YEARS By Ralph H. Tumor (United Press Staff Correspondent.) TOKIO, Fob. 5. Expansion of tho Japanese navy today is considered more important by tho government than reduction of tho country's na tional debt. This vlow was oxpresBed horo by Kazuye Shoda, minister of finance. Shoda's atatoment came na on ex planation and defence ot the Torau chl ministry's announcement that be ginning with the fiscal year of 1918 19 and continuing until Japan's sovon-year naval program is finished, 110.000,000 ot the $25,000,000, which the government had set aside for the annual redemption ot tho na tional dobt will be used in the con struction of warshlpB. This doclslon moans 'that tho re cent restoration ot the sinking fund to its former figure of $25,000,000 Is to be for one year only and is con tradictory to tho principle by which the Torauchl ministry Increased the fund from $16,000,000 to $25,000, 000. The rocont poace talk and Its de moralization of tho Tokio stock ex change hnB just glvon Japan a taste of what hor condition will be after tho war, Jnpau'B now naval construction program calls for an appropriation ot $130,320,085. It Is proposed to build three battleships ot tho supor-drendnought-type, two battle-cruls-ors and soveral light cruUorB, des troyers, auxiliary vossols and subma rines In tho sovon fiscal years begin ning 1917-18. With tho conclusion of this program tho Japanese naval authorities will havo roallzed tholr long-chorlshod ambition of establish ing eight battleships and tour battle orutsers as the unit ot the nation's tloet. MILLS OPPOSED TOESCHPLAN WHITE PINE WOULD SUFFER, IS PLEA. Mliter Wood are Ilcrlmliuited Agttlnut, Declare Ilnd Mill Of ficial Postponement of Rate Increase Aid. Both of the big lumber companies In Bend are unalterably opposed to the Each plan of fixing lumber frloght rates, according to state ments made this morning by T. A. McCann, of The Bhevlln-Hlxon Com pany, and Harry K. Brooks, ofj the Brooks-Bcsnlon Lumber Co. Their objections have been filed with the Western Pine Manufacturers Assoc iation, to be presented to the Inter state Commerce Commission through that organization. Would Hit Bend Mills. The basis of the Esch plan is the fixing of 50,000 pounds as the aver age car load of lumber, and making no distinction between kinds, giving a reduced rate on carloads above that weight, and exacting a higher rate on loads ot less than that amount. The sponsor ot the plan Is Fred Escb, ot Washington, D. C, exam Iner for the commission. Mr. Brooks declared this morning that the chief objection to the plan is the fact that it would discriminate between heavy and light woods, plac ing the advantage with the producer of the heavier lumber. "The plan Isn't practical, and wouldn't work out," be said. "The shipper of light lumber might have a carload ot 48,- 000 pounds, and would be charged the 40,000 pound high rate for it, while the manufacturer shipping a 62,000 pound load would get the benefit of the lower rate." Old Rate to Hold. Mr. McCann'a objections were based on virtually the same grounds. "The Bend white pine manufacturers would be discriminated against in favor of the fir producers. We are certainly opposed to the Esch plan, but our objections are being handled through the association," he said. Both mills will benefit by the post ponement ot the rate Increase In the Central Freight Association terri tory from February 1 to Juno 1. Be cause ot the shortage of cars, much lumber was sold In that section, based on the old rate, and has not yet been delivered. By virtue of the extra time given, it Is felt that the contracts can be filled before the tariff advance goes into effect. Tho total appropriation ot $130. 320, 805 will be apportioned as fol lows: 1917- 18 $ 7.164,604 1918- 19 11,596,919 1919- 20 20,869,713 1920- 21 25,655,348 1921- 22 27,570.224 1922- 23 12,466,429 1823-24 12,497,153 Announcement ot this program, coming on the heels of the bill which will double the fighting capacity ot the American fleet, has created much Interest here. This interost has been considerably heightened by the con tention of a large section of the Jap anese press that the naval expan sion ot the United States Is directed at Japan. . As for Japan's determination to strengthen her sea power, even if hor national debt must suffer, there are arguments aplenty both for those who would Justify hor move and oth ers who insist It Is an aggressive action. Constder Japan's position In the world, say members ot the latter class. She Is Lord of the Orient. Al ready equipped with a mighty army ond nn efflciont navy, she enjoys a position of unparallelqd security. She Is firmly unltod In alliance with Groat Britain, the strongest sen power, and has joined In a close ngreomont with hor near and power ful neighbor, Russia. There are many factors In dofonse ot Japan's naval policy. Tho etid of the war will bob a readjustment ot power all ovor the world. In the British and German navies come out of tho struggle approximately In taot, Japan will occupy a humble place in the naval hlerachy, made all the more humblo by America's groat expansion plans, HUNDREDS OF AMERICANS HOW III GERMANY MAY BE STRANDED IF 1 COMES CONCESSIONS MAY BE MADE AS MOVE TO AVOID WARFARE Hubmarlne Campaign Hay Be Modi fied, Intimation Received by London Page Confers.
