WASHINGTON, Feb. 15

(U. P.).—National defense

costs actual or projected since the 1922 Washington Arms Conference aggregate 14 billion dollars and the cost is going

up today.

é 1

In the 16 years since naval® powers first undertook naval limitation our national defense expenditure has risen from $596,847,000 in the fis-

cal year 1923 to the billion |i

dollar budget estimate submitted by President Roosevelt to Congress for the fiscal year 1939. Well more than half our national defense spending is. for the Navy. Approximately $570,000,000 will go for the Navy in the next fiseal

ear,= And to that Mr. Roosevelt on Jan.|"

28 added a new building program to cost $800,000,000 for construction of three battleships, two aircraft carriers, eight cruisers, nine /destroyers, nine submarines and’ 40odd auxiliary vessels. Construction probably will begih next year. ‘The vessels could be completed in five years in an emergency.

65 Ships Being Built Already building are two battle-

cruisers, destroyers, submarines and smaller vessels. In his regular budget in the first week of January Mr. Roosevelt asked funds to begin two battleships and 18 smaller vessels, All the foregoing, building and proposed, aggregate 800,232 tons and the figure probably will be larger unless the Navy decides not to match th 43,000 ton vessels Japan is sus; of having under way. By accident or design the seven battlesh now building or ‘ proposed for Mr. Roosevelt's new “defense Navy” exactly match the number of American superdreadnaughts {scrapped under’ the Washington {Arms agreement. -But building pro-

'It was agreed that the rules should call for retrenchment and a 10-year holiday in construction of capital ships. Under that agreement the thpee major naval powers scrapped vessels built or building, as follows: 1. United ‘ States—One battleship 7 ‘32, 600 tons; six battleships of 43,200 tons; four battle cruisers of 43,500 tons. Two 43,500-ton battle cruisers, the Lexington and Saratoga, were converted into aircraft carriers. Twenty obsolete vessels ranging from 10,288 to 20,000 tons were scrapped or "otherwise disposed

principally because

| tablished the principle of equal capital ship power between the United States and Britain; fixed Japan’s rating at 60 per cent of that parity; and limited France and Italy to approximately 35 per cent roportion either to the United States or Great Britain. The ratio was expressed 5-5-3-1.75-1.75 which, translated, meant that of capital ships the powers were to possess: United States, 525,000 tons; Britain, 525,000 tons; Japan, 315,000 tons; Italy, 175,000 fons, and France, 193,000: tons. : ,U. S.-British _Pafity Fixed Japan, Great Britain ‘and the United States, in a separate treaty, bound themselves not to expand their .fortifications in outlying Pacific possessions, which meant that our Government could not increase Philippine Island" fortifications or fortify the Aleutians Islands at- all. The conferees, including Japan, signed-a treaty guaranteeing the independence, territorial integrity and sovereignty of - China. Of arms limitation agreed upon at Washington nothing tangible remains. The nonfortification pledges for Pacific possessions expired on Dec. 31, 1936. The treaty guaranteeing China’s territorial integrity was supposed to be in perpetuity, but little remained of it after Japan seized Manchuria in 1931 and it is merely an historical document in view of Japan’s current invasion of Central China.

1927 Was High Point

The Washington conference was ste

the high point of -arms limitation. President Coolidge in 1927 sponsored a conference at Geneva to limit auxiliary craft of 10,000 tons or less which had not been dealt with at Washington, That conference failed the United States and Great Britain could not agree on type and number of cruisers. Britain and France in 1928 agreed upon a basis of arms limitation intending to summon a general conference for its discussion. That proposal was\blasted by American refusal to accept Anglo-French stipulations that proposed naval limitation deal only with big submarines and eight-inch gun cruisers—types in which the United States. was much interested — while leaving

smaller submarines up to 600 tons |limit

and siX-inch gun cruisers unlimited. The smaller submarines were strategically important to France and the lighter-armed cruiser generally is regarded by the British as

‘the bulwark - of their * s¢condary

naval defense, When the Ghost Was Buried

In 1930 the naval powers met in London. The United: States and Great Britain composed their cruiser differences, agreeihg upon tonnage each should have of the type of craft best suited to individual needs. Japan, preparing for the Manchurian adventure, negotiated an improved naval ratio of 70 per cent instead of 60 per cent of the Anglo-American parity figure. Japan, furthermore, proposed at London the outright abolition ef capital ships and airplane carriers

and indicated if that were agreed to she would propose abolition of ‘the ~ heavy ° cruiser—all on the grounds that such craft are “offensive. weapons. Dom, London again in 1936 the powers buried the ghost Of: naval limitation. The Washington Treaty of ' 1922 and the London Treaty of 1930 expired on Dec. 31, 1936. So in that year in London the United States, Great Britain and France agreed upon the types of vessels tobe built—none between 10,000 and 17,500 tons; capital ships not to. exceed 35,000 tons. There was no limit on the number of vessels any nation might construct.

Up to 18-Inch Guns

Japan sat in for a while and withdrew = when refused nayail equality in principle with the United States and Great Britain. But by separate treaty with Great in the 1936 agreement was extended to

Dp. One of the 1936 agreements was that battleship armament should be limited to (14 inches, provided no nonsignato power built larger guns, Japan\declined to accept the 14-inch limitation and battleship guns - automatjcally went 8 inches. In the first week of February the Unifed States, Great Britain and Frghce asked Japan for assurance that she would not build battleships b : limit agreed on in London in 1936. Japan refused to agree and it is probable that the three new haiti ships to ‘be laid down under M Roosevelt's latest building program will be 40,000 tons or better. With scrapping of the 35,000-ton limitation the international effort to reduce naval armaments is ended for the time being. The sky is now the

Ariny Craft to|

Powerful Travel 6000 Miles for - Ortiz Inaugural.

a

LANGLEY FIELD, Va, Feb. 15]

(U. P). — Six Army “flying fortresses,” largest and most powerful fighting ships in the Army Air

1 Corps, roared away. today on the

first leg of a 6000-mile flight to Buenos Aires. The six ships, which will make the flight to the Argentine capital for the inauguration of President-Elect Roberto Ortiz, were accompanied by a seventh plane. The extra ship

{will accompany the formation to {Mi

i for use in event one of the re r flight is not prepared when the giant planes head south on the major section of the flight.

Itinerary Kept Secret The last of the seven planes, each manned with a crew of four officers and four enlisted men, roared into the air here at 8:56 a. m.

Heading southward in formation, |

the flight was due to arrive at Miami about 2:30 p. m. (Indianapolis Time). ; Off on the Army’s most adventurous air expedition, Lieut. Col. Robert Olds, in command, kept plans for the itinerary secret. As ‘the planes took off, however, it was reported that the bombers will attempt a nonstop flight from Miami to Lima, Peru—about 2500 nautical miles. Officials at the air base here pointed out that the flight to Lima would be less than distances flown nonstop by the “fortresses” in transcontinental test flights. It “also was reported that the planes, after a long jump to Lima, may make the final leg of their flight to Buenos Aires without stop. Such a flight would include transit of the Andes Mountains, where the minimum pass elevation is around 15,000 feet. The most modern of the Army's general headquarters fighting force, the bombers have a ceiling of about 25,000 feet. . No difficulty was anticipated in their flight over the high South American peaks.

Congress, Like ‘Old 97, Is ‘Way Behind Time’ By HERBERT LITTLE Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, Feb. 15 ~Con= gress, like the locomotive “Old 97” of the mountaineer song, is “Way behind time” if it is going to finish its assigned tasks and adjourn in time for this year’s electioneering. The decision of Senate leaders to force another cloture vote in an attempt to end the Antilynching Bill filibuster indicates growing impatience. The Senate’s piled-up legislation now includes, in addition to the Antilynching Bil], the first five annual appropriation bills, the Government reorganization Bill, and the House-approved conference report on amendments to the Fed-

‘eral Trade Commission Act.

The real size ‘of the job ahead, however, .is indicated -by the major

| bills which both houses have yet to

act on. These include the tax bill, the 800 million dollar big-Navy bill, the war-profits bills, and the 250 million dollar relief bill. The relief measure is to.be taken up in the House tomorrow, and probably passed on the same day. The Sheppard-Hill War-Profits Bill, giving great war-. time powers to "the President, ‘was

and as Red Cross executive, Admiral Grayson touched life at many angles and did outstanding work in every field of his endeavor,” MF. Roosevelt said. “Whether directing relief at home or co-operating in the alleviation of human misery in ‘foreign lands, his tact, industry and genius for getting things done, made his work outstanding.” Funeral services for Admiral Grayson will be held at’ 11 a. 1m. Thursday at St. Church here, of vestryman, Admiral Grayson, who was a friend: as well as doctor to PresiWilliam Howard Taft and Woodrow Wilson, died at his residence here a few hours after President Roosevelt, ha made a personal visit: to his home. He is survived by his wife, the former Alice Gertrude Gordon, and three sons, James Gordon, Cary Travers and William Cabell.

Entered Navy in 1904 .

Cary Travers Grayson was born at the home of his father, a Virginia physician, on Oct. 11, 1878. He was educated at william and Mary College and the University of the South at Sewanee, Tenn., where he received his M. D. in 1902. Two years later he was graduated from’ the U. S. Nayal Medical School and entered .the Navy as an acting assistant surgeon. President ‘Theodore made him assistant to the regular White House physician. When Mr. Taft became President,

-Grayson’s popularity continued, and

he was assigned to duty on the “Mayflower,” Presidential yacht. In March, 1913, Woodrow Wilson chose Grayson to be White House physician. Not long after, Mr. Wilson made Dr. Grayson, then only 38, a rear admiral, The Admiral retired from the Navy in 1928. Thereafter he was, at one time .or the other, member of the public health committee of the National Fogd Administration; medical member of the Council on National Defense; medical director of the Washington Gas Light Co. In 1933, Franklin D. Roosevelt selected Admiral Grayson to be chairman of his first inaugural committee. He served in a similar capacity four years later. When John Barton Payne died in 1935, Admiral Grayson became head of the Red Cross. Directors voted him a $17,000 salary, but he refused it, accepting ‘instead the income from a trust fund, which yielded about $4300 annually. *
