NAVAL PARITY HELD VITAL BY PRESIDENT Hoover Answers Legion Head’s Criticism of Cruiser Suspension. Pv T' nit rtf f'r. „„ WASHINGTON. Age I.—Great Britain's acceptance of the principle of parity was characterized by President. Hoover as "a forward step of the first importance'’ in efforts toward further naval disarmament In a. letter to Paul V. McNutt, commander of the American Legion. McNutt was among the first to protest. President Hoover’s order suspending the building of three American cruisers. In his letter to the White House the legion commander insisted that to reach parity with Great Britain the United States would have to Continue building, while Britain Vould have to stop construction. Problems Are Intricate Mr. Hoover pointed out in his letter the actual problems concerning disarmament are “far more intricate And far more difficult than can be Solved by the simple formula you suggest,” and expressed confidence the legion favored disarmament to Competitive building “with its continuous expansion and all its train tt world dangers.” “It seems to me that every person pf common sense will agree it is far better at least to try to establish euch a relation (naval parity) by Agreement before we resign oureelves to continued attempts to establish it by rival construction programs on both sides of the Atlantic,” the President’s letter said. Competition Is Dangerous “We need not disguise the fact that (aside from the capital ship limitations under the Washington treaty) competitive building has been in progress on both sides since the great war. and we have arrived only at disparity, not parity. It creates burdensome expenditure, a constant stream of suspicion, ill will and misunderstanding. ‘ Moreover, by constant expansion of naval strength we can not fail to stimulate fear and ill-will throughout the rest of the world toward both of us, and thus defeat the very purpose which you have so well expressed as being the object of the legion, when you say, ‘The legion stands uniformly for movements which will make permanent peace more certain and assure better understanding between nations.

LEGISLATOR TO GET OPINION Representative Asks Verdict on His Two Jobs. Representative Samuel J. Farrell <Rep.. Hartford City), has sent a letter to Attorney-General James M. Ogden requesting an opinion regarding his legal status as budget committee member. Farrell has been constantly criticised for serving on the budget committee and being a salesman for the Indiana Truck Company, Marion, which does a large business with the state highway department. The representative contends he does not handle this business personally, and therefore is not bound by the statute which states no legislator may be a member of the committee if he is interested “either directly or indirectly” in firms doing business with the state. Ogden gave Senator Luther O. Draper (Rep., Spiceland> a semiofficial opinion setting out this statutory requirement. Draper is also a member of the budget committee, but this did not interfere with his selling shades from his factory tc equip the statehouse annex. Ogden considers this correspondence as semi-official and rather private and refused to comment on the Farrell communication. Former G. A. R. Leader Dies Rh Times Special COLUMBUS, Ind., Aug.

Ralston, chief assessment clerk, said today. Appraisers have fixed the value oi property to be acquired between Northwestern avenue and Delaware street at ?452.000.

Moore estimated. A public hearing will be fixed by the board of works, probably some time in September. If there are no injunction suits to halt the project the city expects to acquire the property within sixty days. Construction work probably will be started in the spring, Moore said. Property owners in the benefited district, bounded by Northwestern avenue, Delaware, Fourteenth aftd Eighteenth streets, will be assessed for 40 per cent of the improvement costs. The remainder will be taken from the city thoroughfare fund, being the only major project under the fund in recent years.
