WILL WOOD 1$ DORAH BACKER ON NAVY PLAN Indiana Representative Is Flatly Against Heavy Sea Expenditure. (Continued from Page 1)

the ‘big navy’ people, that seems to be more practical program, u is sensible from the standpoint of international ideals, domestic economy, and naval and military efficiency." Will Head People’s Plea No mater what the official program for constructing new ships and enlarging the army may be, the veteran legislator predicted if the people support a movement for reducing the costs of armaments, congress will refuse to appropriate tremendous sums for war-like purposes. The state department showed great interest in the Borah proposal, and has said it was sympathetic to the plea of Dino Grandi, Mussolini’s foreign minister, for an immediate naval truce. It also was learned in authoritative quarters that a sharp reduction in the army-navy budget for ordinary expenses and new construction would not be displeasing to President Hoover. Both he and Secretary Mellon, as recent proposals for tax increases reveal, are concerned over a federal deficit which threatens to total $3,000,000,000 by the end of the current fiscal year. Secretary Stimson looks for substantial results from next February’s assemblage at Geneva, he has told Hoover. The reduction to the Borah demand for a five-year holiday by the five world powers, including cessation of construction of London treaty ships, was immediate.

Watson Would Disarm It ranged from a diplomatic desire to hear more at the state department and active opposition from Senator David A. Reed (Rep., Pa.), a delegate to the London naval conference, to the hearty support of Senate Leader James E. Watson (Rep., Ind.) and other members of both parties. "I am willing to disarm just as rapidly as the other nations will,” said Watson, who faces re-election next year. "I earnestly hope for the glad day when all will disarm. I shall support any world-wide naval holiday with the greatest happiness.” "If nothing comes of the Geneva conference, then, of course, we must build. But the nations will have an opportunity to express their opinion there/ It is also true that there can be no great naval reduction unless the nations with tremendous land forces agree to reduce them.” Senator Claude Swanson (Dem., Va.), a "big navy” man and ranking Democrat on the Senate naval affairs committee, preferred to withhold comment until Borah had developed his idea in more detail. Brockhart Gives Views Representing senate progressives, who will hold the balance of power in the next senate, Senator Smith W. Brookhart (Rep., la.) said: "With the people needing food, shelter and jobs, they hardly will favor spending millions of dollars for armies and navies. I predict there will, be no $200,000,000 appropriation for new. ships at the next congress.” Two southern Democrats, Senators Thaddeus H. Caraway of Arkansas and Morris * Sheppard of Texas, gave complete indorsement to Borah's appeal. Senator Reed, who helped to negotiate the London treaties and was especially active in smoothing out difficulties with Japan, said: “I think we ought to build v._ to the treaty limit. Then, if all the nations are willing to decide on a naval holiday, I am for it.” One northern hardwood tree of any variety, twenty-one inches in diameter five feet above the ground, will yield a cord of wood.

FAIR'S CROWDS DROP 40.000 —t Building Program Will Be Delayed by Slump. With a 40,000 drop in attendance at the Indiana state fair for 1931, a portion of the building program of the fair board will be delayed. But despite the break in attendance over 1930, fair board officials were pleased with the state’s response. "In comparison to other fairs, Indiana showed less decline in attendance." said Levi P. Moore, board member. "Sufficient profit accrued to defray all expenses, but the program to erect anew building for Indiana university, a state exhibit s ructure, and several race horse barns will be held off until times are better," Moore said. An aerial circus Saturday afternoon closed the fair program.
