WAGES AND HOURS AGAIN. GOLD STOCKS GO UP. By Hugo Sims, Washington Correspondent. a One of the questions soon to come before the people of the United States Will require a decision in re gards to the Navy. The world situa tion has been greatly changed by the steWly growth of the Italian, French, German, Italian and Russiain fleets and the recent announcement of the British plan to resume the construc tion of battleships on a -stupendous peace-time scale brings the problem to the United States. While the Administration prompt ly ordered the construction of the two battleships authorized by Con gress lest year, when it was known that the British planned to build two new dreadnaughtS, the news now is | that the British will start Work on not less than five battleships in 1937 and that before concluding its present program there will be not less than ten mammoth floating fortresses to show the world again that Brittania rules the waves. In facing this situation, the Amer ican people will first of all have to decide whether the much-prolonged insistence upon parity with Great Britain, now fully established as an agreement between the two powers, is worth the cost of new construction necessary to make it something be sides a paper program. Generally speaking there is hardly any suspi cion that the British government has the United States in mind in its new program and, in fact, most British writers insist that a decision from this country to build an equal fleet Would be hailed as a factor for world peace, particularly in the Pacific. The British decision to build a huge fleet means that in a few years that nation will have 25 battleships in stead of 15 and a fleet composed, for the most part, of modern crusiers, destroyers and submarines. Plainly the battleship will be the backbone of the British plan, which means, after all, that the insistence of Amer ican admirals that this country main tain its faith in battleships has been vindicated by the action of the Brit ish admiralty. The Italian fiasco of a few months ago has thrown quite a scare Into the British, who feel that, to be secure, they must b* able to handle any situation in that area, and, at the same time, maintain vigil ant guard around the North Sea and a fighting force in the far East, bas ed upon Singapore. This writer has little idea what the final decision of the United States will be in this regard but the Presi dent is a strong navy man. His course up to this time has indicated very positively a determination to build a fleet equal to that of the British. Our decision is influenced by the fact that Japan broke the re cent naval limitation pact and seems determined to build a greater fleet Whether the United States wishes to permit the Far Easterners to out build this country is a question that the voters of the nation will some day have to answer. ' Personally, the writer strongly be lieves in a powerful navy, the equal '? ?? *?- ??. of any, to oraer w provcvb um ntu>?> andterritory against nations which in aome future years may become ag gressive. Tim strength of the hungry nation*?Italy, Germany and Japan as well as their willingness to use force io accomplish international aims and seize territory for their own purpoies when possible advises us to be strong enough \to protect not only the United States but glso South America, as well, unless we wish to invite these nations to make an ex cursion in this hemisphere and set up trouble for us in other years. f ???"?'ve*?,????i? iv ??TV ? ?? ~ - T ??

President Roosevelt will provide funds to com plete the $25,000,000 Blue Ridge Parkway and when it is finished, it will "advertise itself," Representa tive Robert L. Doughton of the Ninth Congressional District assured a din ner audience, here on Tuesday night "It pays to advertise," followed-up United States Senator Robert R. Reynolds, also a speaker. "Since I kissed Jean Harlow, I've never kissed so many women in my life." Both speakers, with Governor Hoey, extolled the scenic wondera of the parkway. Representative Dough ton, called the originator of the parkway, and Senator Reynolds, who has support ed it vigorously, were invited here to address a banqquet given by citi zens interested in the parkway, Rep resentative D. F. Giles of McDowell announced. Both Vied with each other in de scribing the wonders of the project. "If Ponce de Leon, seeking the fountain of youth; had been told of the Mountains of Youth in Western North Carolina, he wouldn't have died in disappointment," declared Representative Doughton., "If 400 years ago, Ponce de Leon had wended his way to the fine liq uid inspiration the mountains later provided, I know he'd have lived longer than he did," joked Senator Reynolds. He compared the park way to the Capetown-Johannesburg highway, the French Alps, and the Sydney-Melbourne highway now un der construction?said it was su perior to all of them. Democratic National Committee man A. D. (Lon) Folger of Dodson introduced Representative Dough ton, Speaker Gregg Cherry intro duced Senator Reynolds, and Lieu tenant Governor W. P. Hoijton in troduced Governor Hoey, who car ried the comparison another step forward by Baying the parkway, when completed, would surpass even the Appian Way "the road to the Eternal City, over which the Caesars marched." Governor Hoey thanked the con gressional delegates for their efforts in urging completion of the high way and lauded the members of the General Assembly for their prog ress. "Your children and my chil dren and generations to come will be proud of the economic and social and educational advantages and prog ress which this Legislature has pro vided," he said. ? Capua M. Waynick, chairman of the Highway Commission, who spoke briefly at the opening of the dinner, described the parkway as strenching from Front Royal in Virginia to Swain County, connecting the Shen andoah and tha great Smoky Moun tains National Park, a distance of about 47b miles, About $5,000,000 has already been spent on it in North Carolina.

W. Bailey to carry out his campaign promises.

The directors expressed to the President "their wholehearted sup port and endorsement" of the court proposal. "Your farm program un der your first administration, which was invalidated by the Supreme Court, raised the national farm in come four billion dollars," the reso lution read. "We are making known to our Congressmen and Senators our desire that they support you in your reorganization plan, and in working out a new farm program fcn maintain the level secured in your first administration." The directors voiced "their last ing appreciation to Jonathan Dan iels (editor) and The New and Ob server for their brilliant defense of the President's court reorganization plan" and endorsed "every criticr ism contained in the said editorials with regard to Senator Bailey's stand on the court plan. . . .

Think Roosevelt to Launch Court Crusade Tonigfit ? -? Advisers Reveal That Judiciary WillBe Topic In 'Victory Dinner9 Speech ? Revelation Follows White House Parley Washington, March 3. ? Advisers of President Roosevelt intimated to night that he will make a major blow for reorganization of the . Su preme Court in a speech he will de liver tomorrow night The President called foremost Con gressional advisers to his study1 late today for a long conference. One of the conferees said after ward that Mr. Roosevelt would re- . fer to the proposed court reorgani zation indirectly in his talk tomor row at a Democratic "Victory Din ner." ' Others intimated they had gone over a rough draft of the entire address. "It will be important," a high ad ministration official advised report ers. The unheralded Presidential con ference was attend#*! hv dent Garner, Speaker Bankhead, Sen ator Robinson and Representative Rayburn, the Democratic floor cheif in the House. "We are going along just as we started," Bankhead said afterward. "There is no change in the pro gram." The dinner where Mr. Roosevelt will speak will be one of a number throughout the country, designed to help pay Democratic party expenses. Democratic leaders who dine with the President will pay $100 a plate. While administration- supporters counted on aid from the President's speech, Democratic Senators oppos ing the court legislation invited a group of prominent citizens to speak out against the plan at the coming hearings before the Senate judiciary committee. Acting as a unit after days of in formal meetings and discussions they asked certain leaders among the farmers, labor, the letral Dro fession and other groupB to appear, but pending the receipt of accept ance, without their names. At the same time, they received assurances from Senator Ashurst (D.-Ariz.), chairman of the judi ciary committee, that they may pro ceed with their witnesses on Mon day, March 15, as soon as the top spokesmen for the administration hava concluded their presentation. beyond that, it became apparent that no effort will be made for the present to limit the length of the hearings, a move that the oppo sition had been ready to battle to the utmost. "The hearings will continue as long as any coherent citizen wishes to talk about the bill and can do so coherently." Ashurst, with his customary affability, told Senator Burke (D.-Neb.), a leader among the op nents. tVhile supporters c|f the bill counted on speeches to be delivered i. i m j t n i tomorrow ana on iuesaay oy presi dent Roosevelt to increase their numerical strength, the opposition clung tightly to its countention that it commands a minimum of 43 Sen ate votes. The full membership is 96. During the day, the Pennsylvania House delegation began what ad ministration leaders said they hoped would be a "bandwagon move ment" The delegation held a cau cus, after which Rep.
