The followinr la the first of a short series of articles thereon.) BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Serippa-Howard Foreign Editor WASHINGTON. Oct. 15.—Without flourish or fanfare, the world's great sea powers are gathering in London this week to decide the fate of the epochal naval conference of 1035. Though the parley will lack the customary blaze of glory, it can hardly fail to be one of the most crucial in post-war disarmament history. World naval policy may be completely reorlenated. With the great powers on the eve of a naval race, the 1935 conference today is in the balance. The odds are against it ever being held. If the coming conversations at London reveal that the major powers—Britain, America and Japan—are so far apart that their views can not be reconciled more or less within existing treaties, the 1935 conference definitely will be abandoned. If. on the other hand, the delegates now gathering in London decide to hold the conference, it will mean the powers have already reached a pretty definite understanding. For they are in tacit agreement that it will be better not to hold the conference at all than hold it only to break up in a row. U. S. Policy Outlined President Roosevelt's decision to send Admiral William H. Standley, chief of naval operations, to assist Ambassador-at-large Norman H. Davis, indicates that Washington is fully aware of the portent of the conversations. Indeed United States naval policy hinges directly upon the turn of events In London. Our policy calls for reduction within the limitation treaties of Washington and London —treaties which stipulate a 3-5-3 ratio respectively for the fleets of Britain. America and Japan. If others build, America proposes to keep pace. But Japan has already served notice on the world that she is dissatisfied with the existing ratio. She demands what is generally described as parity. What she really seeks is “equality” with America and Britain. Japanese Stand Opposed Unless America and Britain agree to this “equality." Tokio has clearly indicated she intends to regain a

HAUPTMANN'S FRIEND

free hand by withdrawing from the limitation treaties. America and Britain are both opposed to the Japanese thesis. Nobody for a moment believes Nippon is bluffing. The indications arp that she is very definitely prepared to snap her fingers at the naval treaties, unless her demands are met, just as she did at the League of Nations when the league refused to okeh her virtual annexation of Manchuria. In fact the two are not unrelated. When Japan stalked out of the i league she served notice on the world that she intends to proceed with her policy of far eastern conquest. This policy requires a bigger navy, a navy powerful enough if necessary 1 to hold the world at bay while she i rounds out her empire in Asia. To sugar-coat her equality demand. Nippon may suggest that Britain and America scrap down to her level. That would have a triple I advantage. It would sound like disarmament. It would obtain parity without having to spend too much money. And, up to a certain point, lit would enlist British support. For Britain wishes the United States to I scrap its larger units and employ ! smaller ones. But that would not alter the fundamentals of Nippon’s objectives. These are. first, supremacy in Asia where half the total population of the' world is congretated, and, second, a navy with punch enough to make that policy stick. Tomorrow—Uncle Sam’s naval , policy in the balance.

By United Press WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.—Innocent bystanders wounded in the killing of John Dillinger have no claim upon the federal government under existing law, Controller-Generai J. R. McCarl has ruled. Mr. McCarl said that special legislation would be necessary before the government could pay the hospital expenses of persons wounded when Dillinger was shot down in Chicago two months ago, J Edgar Hoover, chief of the bureau of investigation of the department of justice, recommended a total disbursement of $625 for three persons wounded—Miss Etta Matalski at the Chicago shooting and John Morris and John Hoffman in the April 22 raid on the Little Bohemia lodge. Controller McCarl ruled that the government would have been able to provide for the wounded had they been criminals, but that there was no provision for innocent bystanders who happened within the line of fire.

SCHOOL MERGER 1 GAINS FAVOR AS ECONOMY MOVE State Committee Reports Many Opportunities for Consolidation. Survey of school consolidation conditions in Indiana has revealed possibility of combining numbers of. other schools which have not been affected by previous consolidation, reports from the Indiana State Committee on Governmental Economy show. Comparison of enrollments with; building capacities shows that in only eleven counties in the eighty- | one are elementary schools filled to j capacity. In this group there is an ! average excess building capacity over present enrollments of 19 per cent in elementary schools and 28 per cent in high schools. The reports show that great saving could be made in further combining of smaller schools. Many buildings are inadequate for school purposes, and should be abandoned, while there are a large number of modern buildings which could accommodate pupils now enrolled in unfit school buildings. The reports show that 50 per cent of the one-teacher elementary schools could be abandoned and pupils accommodated in other schools within transporting distance. In practically all suggested cases, i the additional enrollment could be ; cared for without additional teachers. This also was the case in the examination of higii schools having less than seventy-five pupils, where it was revealed that 66 per cent could be closed and pupils transferred to others without additional teachers.
