New York, chairman of - the . military
committee,- yesterday estimated that
adoption of four months training fpr
all; yoqths 'betweeit ' eighteen - and
twenty-one, .inclusive.,, would enable
such a reduction Jn the regular, army
establishment as to- -cut the present
annual expediture of $1,100,000,000 to
approximately $500,000,000. Z,
: Representative Mondell estimated
that - 50,000- additional -.officers--; would
be required'; under, universal trainlng,
and that 1300,000,000 would be required
to put camps and. cantonments into
condition, ... and $60,000,000 would be
needed to maintain them. Clothing
an equipment for "each youth would
rurtner increase the cost, he said.
Chairman Wadsworth was unable to
report the . army reorganization bill
with Its universal training provision
to the senate today, but announced
tonight he would' attempt to do so
tomorrow, .'
The universal training- controversy
also was .brought to' the surface dur-
in' 'he day by declination, of Repre

Quardia, of New York, had brought
oojections ; from house r - republicans

solve the transportation needs of
their respective sections. Today,
ne aeciarea, men irom the same
parts of the country were en
deavoring to, complete the work
which had been beerun then.
Opportunities presented to Ameri
can trade in the near, east were dis
cussed by J. M." Haynes, 'of Galveston,
Texas, who declared; that no other na
tion in the world was at a better ad
vantage in entering the foreign trade
marketrtn -the Levant thaniithe United
State because of the great confidence
which' the people of the near east re
pose in America. Mri Haynes,. who said

by America of a vigorous world pol

Senator Hoke Smith, of Georgia, said

John W. Thomas, of Chicago, de
clared that the continuance of : "the
shipping board was the only practical
solution of the problem which was pos
sible if the policy of an American mer
chant marine was not to be abandoned,
for, he said, it would, not be possible
to find in this country the;private cap
ital of $3,000,000,000 which was neces
sary for the absorption of the shipping
board vessels by private interests.
Senator Gore, of Oklahoma, ' and
Chairman Payne, of the shipping
board, also made brief addresses. ;
During the day the delegates ap
peared before the senate committee to
urge retention of the shipping board
in order that trade routes , from Gulf

The delegation asked also that ths
board's shipbuilding program covering
vessels suitable for commercial U8e be.
continued until a well-balanced fleet
