POWERS FORCE U.S. TO PONDER BIGGEST NAVY Wilson Plan for Huge Fleet May Be Revived if ’35 Parley Fails. B'J Srnppx-ltnirarfl S'etrxpaprr Alliance WASHINGTON. June 28. British and Japanese demands for bigger navies wreck the 1935 conference. and anew building program is forced upon the United States, a return to the Wilson formula for an unexcelled fleet for this country is already practically assured Dnven against his will by a menacing world situation. President Wilson, in 1916. sponsored a navy "equal to the most powerful maintained.” a navy of titanic battleships and super battle cruisers, specially designed for a great power with adequate bases few and far between. Unless prolonged by agreement among the principal powers, the existing naval limitation agreements of Washington and London will come to an end in 1936. If this happens, each nation will be free to build as it pleases. This means the United States will be right back where it was in 1921. prior to the Washington conference, except to jay that its tremendous sacrifices to bring about world naval limitation will have gone for nothing. United States lias Ace in Hole Opinion on capitol hill and among naval experts, says Representative Fred A. Britten, ranking Republican member of the house naval affairs committee, is practically unanimous that battleships are still the backbone of the fleet, hence the building of new and bigger battleships is to be expected if the 1935 parley lails. The naval appopriations act of 1916. backed by President Wilson, called for ten first class battleships and battle cruisers. They were to average more than 48.000 tons each, carrying, some of them, monster guns throwing eighteen-inch shells. If forced to it by the other powers, observers here agree, the United .States will likely provide itself with up-to-the-minute capital ships almost certainly larger than the 35.000 tonners now permissible under existing treaties. 1921 Repeats Itself Not since the world war has the United States been in a better position to build, if it has too. than now. Billions of dollars are to be expended on public works in the next few years, and the President is already empowered to direct these expenditures pretty much as the executive may require. Warship construction comes under the heading of public works. This gives the American delegation an ace in the hole when the coming naval discussions begin. The United States manifestly can not offer any such price for naval limitation in 1935. But its delegates should not have much trouble convincing Europe and Japan that unless there Is agreement the Wilson program can be revived in modernized form and that the money with which to do it would not be hard to find.

Brain Trust Is Named to Aid, Treasury Chief

14 College Professors and Economists Will Study Monetary System. By United Press WASHINGTON, June 28.—A treasury department “brain trust” to study new monetary and taxation legislation for the next session of congress was appointed today by Secretary Henry Morgenthau Jr. The group, numbering fourteen, includes ten college professors and several economists. It will work under the direction of Dr. Jacob Viner, formerly of the university of Chicago, who recently was brought here as principal economic adviser of the treasury. Eight of the new members will comprise a revenue and taxation group; the remainder a currency and banking group. Findings of the two groups will be presented to Seccretary Morgenthau about midSeptember to be used as a basis for possible new legislation. Secretary Morgenthau said there was no “disappointment” over the past administration monetary policies but that it was desired to “look at the treasury fron-f the inside” to see whether improvement could be made. 4 He pointed out that the treasury was anxious to do some long-time planning nqw the rush of winter and spring was passed and that “the intelligent way to go about it was to challenge what has been done.” Few members of the treasury “brain trust” are natioaally known. They are to be paid an undetermined amount out of the $2,000,000 emergency banking act of 1933 appropriation. The monetary group comprises: Lachlin Currie, instructor of economics, Harvard university, and professor of international economics at the Fletcher school of law; Harry D. White, professor of economics, Lawrence college, Appleton, Wis.; Albert G. Hart, instructor in economics, University of Chicago; Benjamin Caplan, candidate for Ph. D„ University of Chicago; Virginius F. Coe. Brookings institution, Washington. D. C.; Edward C. Simmons, Brookings institution, Washington, D. C. The taxation study group is: Carl Shoup, assistant professor of business administration, Columbia university, New York; Roy G. Blak-

dren who claimed him as friend and companion. When the Montgomery Tent and Awning Company plant on Keystone avenue, across the street from the Carter home, caught fire several months ago. Pal saw the flames and spread the alarm, barking furiously. Mr. Carter had taught the dog to fight fire by. showing him the trick of extinguishing burning matches. Pal came to the Carter home as a stray dog a year ago. It was a bitterly cold day and Pal scratched at the door, begging for admittance.

e.v, professor of economics, University of Minnesota; Malcolm Bryan, associate professor of economics, University of Georgia; Reavis Cox, instructor in business administration, Columbia university, New York; Louis Shore, officer of instruction in the extension department, Columbia university, New York; Henry F. Walradt, professor of economics, Ohio State university; K. M. Williamson, professor of economics. Wesleyan college, Middletown, Conn.; Richard A. Lester, Princeton university. “The currency and banking study,” Mr. Morgenthau said, “is surveying the currency and credit situation in the United States, including the question of monetary standards, the various types of currency, the various types of credit institutions in the country, their inter-relationships and the existing methods of regulation and control therof, and the relation of credit and currency policy to business stability and maintenance of steady employment. “The revenue and taxation group is studying the federal tax system with special reference to need for administrative revision and simplification, to the distribution of tax burdens, to the relationship between the federal and the state and local revenue systems, and to the possibility of making use of revenue provisions as a business stabilizing device.” NEWSPAPERS GUARDED IN DOCK STRIKE AREA Action Follows Bomb Threat Over Editorial Policy.

CITY RESIDENTS DEPLORE TRAGIC START OF WAR Veterans Condemn Great Tragedy: Archduke Shot 20 Years Ago. Twenty years ago today, while all good Bosnians were celebrating Vidov Dan. the frast day of St. Vitus, and a great patriotic holiday among the Slavs, a match was thrown into the powder barrel which was Europe, armed to the teeth and suspicious, much as it is today. The Archduke Franz-Ferdinand of the now vanished Austro-Hunga-rian empire, and his consort. a princess of the Germanic house of Hohenberg, were assasinated at Sarajevo by a 19-year-old student, one Garbirle Princip—and the World war was started. That war cast 8.000.000 lives. It cost untold billions of dollars; still is costing billions. It, left broken and destitute veterans. It recast the map of Europe and left danger spots scattered over the new map. Cause of Depression It leveled some of the greatest architectural monuments to medieval culture. It ruined great portions of the European countryside. It was potent among the causes of the great depression. Today men who participated in that war looked back on it and, almost without exception, found it not good, as did organized peace workers. In Yugoslavia, one of the men who plotted the assassination, Bora Jeftic. said it never would have occurred had the war been foreseen. Some Indianapolis comments follow : Major H. Weir Cook, Indiana War Ace—The whole thing was tragically futile. That sums up my sentiments. There was no sense in it. Nobody profited by it. It was no good to anybody. Horrors of Conflict Frank E. Samuel, National Adjutana, American Legion—The tragedy that flung virtually the whole world into war, the horrors of that conflict and the abnormal economic conditions that have followed the war with increasing jealousies and suspicions between nations, all constitute a review on this anniversary that should make us stop and ffiink for a moment about the causes and prevention of war. We of the legion see in this whole picture the necessity of teaching our ( youth that war is not an attractive adventure, but, rather, is something to be avoided by every honorable means. We see the need of an adequate national defense and, above all, the enactment into law of the priciple of universal service, to be used only if war should be thrust upon us in the future. This principle, that would place the burden equally on every element of our national life, and upon all resources, would eliminate profit from war and prevent any desire on the part of munition makers, or any other group, to cause war. War Was Predicted Major-General Robert H. Tyndall —Although the war was a surprise to pacifists, we in the higher command expected a war to break between 1902 and 1920. The war wa3 predicted by “Teddy” Roosevelt’s preparedness program and by the fact that General Leonard Wood was in Europe surveying the situation. War is an evolution that must continue whether we desire it or not. Human nature never can be changed. E. E. Stacy, Executive Secretary of the Indiana World Peace Committee—What a twenty years! Unparalleled *in the history of this planet! Thank heavens, the peoples of this world are sick, and tired of war. More and more of us are apologizing to the unknown soldier and more and more of us are agreeing with Mrs. Franklin Roosevelt and other outspoken leaders as to “the stupidity of war.” More people are “thinking straight’’ and the peace forces of the world have come to grips with war as never before. Let’s have a host of Indiana people actively back of these peace forces this coming year.
