this city, made doflnlte declaration
that he holds Fred ,8. -Morris, his suc
cessor, responsible -for the plight of
the firm and the creditors, r. '
'Whatever happens' said Mr. Eth

lor for dollar. Nobody is going to lose
through transactions with, the-: firm.
They will be repaid to thp cent, for I
' nm -determined to take It out of Fred
Morris' financial hide." .
Etheridge declared that he dldj not
floe from Portland, but left only, upon
(he Insistent pressure of friends and
for the good of the firm, and that at
j,, the time of his departure he had every
reason to believe that the firm was sol-
vent and that it could 'be safely left
to the charge .of Mr. Morris, ho de
clared that Morris assured him that
I the Edmonton bond deal would be sat
isfactorily arranged, that all necessary
credits had been negotiated for and
that Morris himself, would advance
$100,000 calling upon- Ills frlonds for
y other large sums, If it developed that

the quiet flight of John L. Etheiddge,

' and thorny as a result of developments
that appear certainly destined to 'tie
Morris up with the Oregon blue sky
laws. -
Although considerable preliminary
investigation will be - necessary to
establish what now seeniB to be fact,
there Is a very pertinent possibility
that the Mortis company actually sold
preferred stock In the business with

America in 1927 Will-Exceed
British in Ships by Present
Plans Japan Keeps Stride
With Increase U. S. Lacks
Air Craft Move to Disarm:
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12. Secretary
Daniels today laid before the house
naval affairs committee what he de
scribed as approximately' complete
data on the relative seapower of tho
throe principal naval: powers, request
ed by tho commlttco In connection
with the, consideration of Its proposed
resolution for International disarma
ment '
Tables submitted by the secretary
show that whllo tho present effective
fighting strength of the British navy
includes 538 ships, of 1,588,412 tons, as
compared with 330 ships of 779,193
tons, for tho American navy, comple
tion of tho authorized building pro
gram of this country in 3925 will give
It a tonnage superiority in the ratio
of 1.35 to 1, with approximately" an
equal number of ships.
While tho present strength of the
American navy was shown to be more
than double that of Japan, should the
latter country' complete Its projected
program for 1927 In addition to' con:
struction already authorized, and this
country terminate construction with
Its present program, Its naval super
iority over Japan In that year, It was
shown, would be reduced to a ratio
of 1.4 to 1.
.In mnjor ships and. gun power the
American navy at the completion of
Its present program will have an act
ual" superiority over the .British fleet,
Secretary; Daniels said, but it will be
'considerably weaker' be added, In
light cruisers and other ships needed
to-protect the niain fleet and to carry
out blockading and other strategical
operations. - .,
'"We will be Slightly inferior In sub
marines and will .have no modern air
craft carriers 'suitable for oporntlng
with the fleet, the secretary said.
The data submitted showed that
with the cotnplotion of all present
authorized building the effective bat
tleship strength of the British navy
will be twenty-six ships, aggregating
635,050 tons; American navy 27 ships,
aggregating 867,650 tons; Japanese
navy nine ships, 290.370 tons.- The
battle cruiser figures will be: Great
Britain six, aggregating 175,400 tons
United States six, 261,000 tons; Japan
oight, 270,000 tons,
If Japan's projected program for
1927 Is authorized, however, It will
ralso her battleship strength In that
year, according to the figures, to thir
teen ships, aggregating 439,720 1 tons
and Increase her prospective superior
ity over the American navy In battle
cruisers, giving, her twelve ships of
that class aggregating 430,000 tons.
This program already has been ap
proved by the Japanese government
Secretary Daniels told the commlttoe
but there has boen no appropriation
for It. . .- - . .
Secretary Daniels declared one of
the most serious shortcomings of, the
American navy at the present time was
Its total lack of speedy aircraft car
riers. .,'

"I bdllevo I did with Italian repre

disarm an American soldier, nor lay
