POWERS SEEK SHOWDOWN ON NAVY STRENGTH

U. S. Policy in Balance: Discussion to Start Tomorrow. Mlowlni it th* ttrond of a trriot of article* fniini with dliroMton* to be keM In tendon hr rrprrtrnlatitn of the power* aeekinr a haul* for the arbedaled world disarmament conference neit rear. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Senppa-Honard Foreign Editor WASHINGTON. Oct. 17 —United States naval policy is in the balance as Japanese. British and Americans at London prepare for a showdown. Discussions begin this week, probably tomorrow. The British gqyemment. alarmed for the security of the empire, plans to strengthen both its fleet and its naval bases. Nippon, rejecting the 3-to-5 ratio, claims the right to a fleet as big as any. United States Ambassador Norman H. Davis and Admiral Standley apparently will be confronted by a take-lt-or-leave-it proposition when they arrive in England today. Uncle Sam's hope is for reduction and limitation within the spirit of the treaties of Washington and London. If London and Tokio insist on laying down more ships, however, he will follow the axiom that a second-best navy, like a secondbest poker hand, is worse than none at all. Japan's stand alone, it persisted in, will not only upset world naval policy but dangerously throw out of plumb the balance of the Pacific and the Far East. The treaties which Japan now threatens to toss into the discard constitute the very foundation of naval limitation. Upon them to a large degree rest Pacific and Far Eastern peace and security. Washington Conference In 1921 world chancelleries were openly predicting war in the Pacific. A world naval race was getting under way. To stop it, the United States called a doubleheader conference—a parley on naval limitation and Pacific and Far Eastern problems. America then had, built and building, the greatest war fleet ever laid down. If the interested powers would come to some sane understanding with regard to Chinese and other dangerous oriental problems, it would scrap more than 800,000 tons of these dreaanaughts and limit future construction. Thus were born the Washington naval and Far Eastern treaties. Japan agreed to evacuate Shantung and Siberia. She agreed, with others, to respect China's territorial integrity. She agreed to limit her fleet. America and Britain agreed, among other things, not to build any new fortifications roughly west of Hawaii or east of Singapore, and not to strengthen existing bases. Treaties Are Endangered Denunciation of these treaties will throw the problem right back W’here it was. The United States will regain a free hand to build a navy of whatever size it can pay for, and it can construct military, naval and air bases wherever it pleases. Without relishing this turn of affairs. the United States faces the necessity of keeping up with Japan and Britain, else seeing itself dangerously outclassed. Once again the Pacific threatens to become a powder magazine. Should it do so, it seems inevitable that Uncle Sam will seek to protect himself against an explosion. Alaska and the Aleutian islands will almost certainly be added to his outposts of national defense. Military, naval and air bases may be set up there, approximately half way between the west coast and Japan—perhaps also in Guam and elsewhere in that region. (Tomorrow —"Will Britain and Nippon Combine Against America?’’> RELIEF MUSICIANS TO PLAY FOR TRANSIENTS Concerts to Be Given Each Night at Center Here, concerts each night in the transient center at 309 East Ohio street will be given by twenty musicians of the Marion County Federal Employment Relief Association band, sponsored by the Indianapolis police department safety division. Arrangements for the concerts have been made by the band and the transient service bureau of the Governor's commission on unemployment relief. They will begin this week.

know that Schiff s shoes set new standards of value. The three Schiff Outlet Shoe Stores already established have proved conclusively that good looking, long wearing shoes can be sold for an unusually low price. The rapidly growing public demand that has built the three Schiff stores now in existence, and which now necessitates the opening of a fourth, show that Schiff s policy of honest value at low prices is appreciated by the people of Indianapolis and the surrounding territory. The big. new store will be conducted along the exact lines that have governed the present Outlet Shoe Stores. Thus you may shop in any one of the four Schiff stores and be sure that you are getting good, honest shoes at the lowest price possible. Not only will the shoes you buy be an exceptional value, but you can choose from a remarkably wide range of styles in either men’s, women's or children’s shoes. Watch for the large announcement I that will give you complete details ; of the new Schiff store. It will ap- : pear in Friday's Times.—Advertise- | ment. ,

Geckler Is Speaker “Forty-three cents of each tax dollar goes to pay debts and interest on debts created by previous Republican county administrations,” Juvenile Judge John F. Geckler said last night at a Franklin township meeting at the home of Sam Pfendler on state Road 29. Judge Geckler said the Democratic city and county administrations have been debt-paying administrations despite the fact 30 cents of each dollar goes for poor relief. “The Democratic county administration has paid off more than $2,000,000 indebtedness saddled on the people by the Republican administration,” he said, “and the city administration under Mayor Reginald H.

Robinson last night attacked both the state and national administrations. Commenting on state affairs, the senator said, “The Two Per Cent Club of the McNutt-Greenlee political machine is the most notorious club in the state. It collects money from state employes for the purpose of controlling elections. The practice is demoralizing and indefensible.” Turning to the national administration, Senator Robinson said that the Reconstruction Finance Corporation as established under a Republican administration, was the backbone of the recovery efforts. il I I Hnir • I With Cool Air Con- £SS? 11l 2050 E.
