would apply aelf-hquidatang test to
future construction projects. -,, While
Chief Executive ' was -not repre-
hted as urging any immediate pro
gram, his present ;: . thought is that
epending projects' should create "new
wealth" and eventually return to the
Tieasury any money advanced by the
Governments He specifically mention
ed as meritorious . projects, the build
ing Vof toll -1: bridges and highways,
rural electrification and other poten
tial revenue producers. Among those
"ailing tormeet - hto f objective were
diool houses and other public build
ings land battleships. ; Warships, in
particular, ne said,, should not be
constructed as re-employment objec
tives, r
Among the most' ambitious pro
posals in the category of "pump
priming" is that of Senator Bulkley,
of Ohio, who would construct an
;3,0OO,000,00O system of trans-continental
toll highways, to be financed
hj bonds issued by a new. Federal
Highway Corporation. The Ohioan Ib
drafting a bill now along this line,
with the help of engineering and fl
incial experts. While the details of
he proposal are to be determined,
Senator Bulkley . . thinks the system'
could be constructed in three years.
It would include at least three super
highways crossing the continent
East and West and six Nbrth and
South.
- The Bulkley plan would provide for
the elimination of all grade crossings,
a neutral strip to divide traffic so that
vehicles on each pavement would
. love in. only one direction. Freight
-d nsssenser vehicles ' would use
jarate pavOTactsr.i'. Tfc:righwyBmiralty .is- apparently convinced that
. ould be built on a 800-foot-right-of-v.-ay
at a cost of between . $300,000
rnd SSOOjOOO a mile, with a total of
iout 20000 miles.
! Highway officials who have discuss
ed the proposal with Senator Bulkley
raei certain that a way could be
f ound to finance the system, guaran
teeing the Government against loss
and assuring Investors of a fair re-
tam and at the same time providing
a "fill-in' program r of mad building
uinng curtailment of regular high
way appropriatione and thus assist in
caving the unemployment problem.
Senator, Bulkley estimates that inter
est and amortization at two per cent
r lus the cost of maintenance, polic
i -g and administration - would cost
xrat 122MOOJoa annually. If ten
r er cent of the motor vehicle traffic
- sea the -highway system, he figures

1'aturally, these have not been work-

oses,' the toll used has been twenty
ire and fifty cents On passenger and
eight vehicles, respectively, plus one
id a half mills ' passenger mile on
isenger vehicles and four mills a

the Rouse, calling for the disclosure
to Congress of any agreement or un
derstanding involving naval coopera
tion with Great Britain or other na
tions. . . . . . , ' -
Previously, Admiral' William D.
Leahy, Chief of Naval 'Operations,
had. informed the Hoom Naval Af
fairs Committee that in the event of
war in the Pacific . or in any other
part of the world, the United States
Navy has no understanding involving
"assistance to be given or received?"
In- previous testimony .'before . the
Committee, the 'Admiral had not dis
cussed the nature of several confer-
i x . r i . v ,. ... a -a i
ences Between nusn ano Araerjcaii
officials. This led to some- specula
' .-lin ,
tioa-On the part of congressmen and
the Admiral's statement was made to
remove any misunderstanding.
The Admiral declared that the navy
expects, to solve its defense problems
without alliances and to stand On its
own feet in providing protection to
the United' States. He insisted that
a battleship is "the bulwark of de
fense or offense" and that while such
a Vessel could be sunk by concen
trated airplane fire; it was less ' vul
nerable than any other type of sur
face vessel. - ,
Previously, the Uiiiyted -'.'States,
Great Britain . and France, , in prac
ticaUyj identical notes, asked 'Japan
to, make known, by February 20,
whether she is building pr intends to
build, battleships in excess of the
35,000-ton limit or cruisers greater
than 10,000 tons. These limits are
those prescribed by the naval treaty
of 1930 .which fell apart when Tokyo
advised that Japan would no longer
be bound by its terms. The three
governments declared their : willing
ness to begin fresh discussions of
limitation for naval armament but
warned Japan that unless satisfactory
information and assurance were re
ceived, they would feel free to resume
liberty of action in regard to naval
building.
There is little reason to expect that
the Japanese government will discuss
limitation and the notes were evi
dently sent in order to place upon
Japan the onus of precipitating the
greatest naval building race in the
world's history v The Japanese Ad
the Japanese policy in China requires
a navy impregnable in the China Sea
and strong enough to keep out of
those waters any combination of fleet:;
which might seek to enter them; In
fact, officials in Washington and Lon
don are convinced that Japan is
building, or planning battleships of
43,000 tons and ; a number of fast,
heavily-armed "pocket battleships" m
the form of cruisers such as the Ger
man navy has developed.
Explanation of the joint action of
the three countries is to be found in
the agreement between them to ob
serve the old treaty limits, subject to
an "escalator clause" which permits
them to be disregarded if other pow
ers fail to limit the sise of their war
ships. ? The three - powers agreed to
consult each other before taking any
such step. The February 20 deadline
is not in the nature of an ultimatum
but, for practical reasons, the powers
want the information in order' tj
make their naval plans. ; Certainly,
the formal notes place the blame for
Increased, building upon Japan: The
State Department pointed out that it
had endeavored to persuade Japan to
adhere to fdurteen-inch guns on capi
tal, ships, but that Japanese refusal
had Obliged other governments to in
stall sixteen-inch guns." - : ;"
The hew Federal Housing Adminis
tration's program got underway when
lending institutions throughout the
United States were advised to resume
making insurance loans for moderni
sation and repair under Title I of the
recently amended j National Housing
Act Authorized in 1984, these loans
expired April 1st. The section per
mits insurance of loans, up to $2600
and ten years for the erection of new
houses on premises in rural areas, or
in the marginal ' sones surrounding
large cities, . Insured loans ':. must be
secured by, mortgages and the houses
built in conf ormance to necessary re
quirements. Modernization and re
pair loans up to f 10.0C9 may be made
if a borrower can demonstrate ability
to repay the loan; In previous ex
periencei with these loans, the FHA
insured 1,450,000 loans, amounting to
more than $560,000,000. Claims paU
to lenders on defaulted loans amount
ed to 113,416,420, but the FHA re
covered $6,55623 through reinstate

STAIR-STEP FARMS
CLIMBING many ot the lotty moun
tains of Peru are strange "stair
step farms" which archeologlsts
believe were built two or three
thousand years ago, even before the
days ot the Inca Empire. Hundreds
of terraces supported by shallow
stone walls are built up the sides
of the steepest mountains and are
the marvel of modern engineers. In
fact they were the object of study
by experts from the U. S. Depart
ment ot Agriculture who went to
South America last year to look into
the methods employed so success
fully in Bolivia and Peru tor the
control ot soil erosion.
The stair-step farms of Peru fed
the pre-Inca races, after them the
Inca peoples, and they are still pro

miles from the Alaskan Coast.
Such an extension of American
jurisdiction would be an extraordi
nary step in international law but
Mr. Dimond believes that a treaty
with Japan would prove futile. He
asserts that fish hatched in American I
waters which return exclusively to '
American waters to spawn should be
under our conservation laws. This
theory has been asserted by Scandi-j
navian countries. Japanese fish pro-1
ceasing steamers operating near the1
Alaskan coast are accused of taking 1
salmon without restriction and with-j
out regard to conservation laws which ;
are rigidly enforced against American
fishermen. Japanese nets, miles in
length, are strung along shallow bot
toms about the mouths of fresh water
streams and take huge catches as the
fish retuni to spawn. .
