Senator Johnson, of California, in the Senate and Representative Sauthoff, of Wis consin, in the House, calling for the disclosure to Congress of any agreement or understanding in volving naval cooperation with Great Britain or other nations. Previously, Admiral William D. Leahy. Chief of Naval Operations, had informed the House Na^val Affairs Committee that in the event of war in the Pacific or in any. other part of the world, the United States Navy has no under standing involving “assistance to be given or received.” In previous testimony before the Committee, the Admiral had not discussed the nature of several conferences be tween British and American of ficials. This led to some specu lation on the part of congressmen and the Admiral’s statement was made to remove any misunder standing. LEAHY’S TESTIMONY The Admiral declared that the navy expects to solve its defense problems without alliances and to stand on its own feet in provid ing protection to the United Stat es. He insisted that a battleship is “the bulwark of defense or of fense” and that while such a ,ves sel could be sunk by concentrated airplane fire, it was less vulner able than any other type of sur face vessel. JAPAN QUESTIONED Previously, the United States, Great Britain and France, in practically identical notes, asked Japan to make known, by Febru ary 20, whether she is building or 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 naival treaty of 1930 which fell apart when Tokyo advised that Japan would no longer her bound by its terms. The three governments declared their will ingness to begin fresh discussions of limitation for naval armament but warned Japan that unless satisfactory information and as surances were received, 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 evidently sent in older to place upon Japan the onus of precipitating the greatest na>val building race in the world’s his tory. The Japanese Admirality is apparently convinced that the Japanese policy in China requires a navy impregnable in the China Sea and strong enough to keep out of these waters any combi nation of fleets which might seek to enter them. In fact, officials in Washington and London are convinced that Japan is building, or planning, battleships of 43,000 tons and a number of fast, heav ily-aimed “pocket battleships” in the form of cruisers such as the German navy has developed. WHY JOINT NOTES? Explanation of the joint action of the three countries is to be found in the agreement between them to observe the old treaty limits, subject to an “escalator clause” which permits them to be disregarded if other powers fail to limit the size of their war ships. The three-powers agreed to consult each other before tak ing any such step. The February 20 deadline is not in the nature of an ultimatum but, for practical reasons, the powers want the in formation in order to make their naval plans. Certainly, the form al notes place the blame for in creased building upon Japan. The State Department pointed out that it had endeavored to persuade Japan to adhere to fourteen-inch guns on capital ships but that the Japanese refusal had obliged other governments to install sixteen-inch guns. HOUSING PROGRAM The new Federal Housing Ad ministration’.- program got under way when lending institutions throughout the United States were, advised to resume making insur ed loan- for modernization and repair under Title 1 of the recent ly amended National Housing Act. Authorized in 1934, these loans expired April 1st. The section permits insurance of loans up to $2,500 and ten years for the erection of new houses on prem ises in rural areas, or in the mar ginal zones surrounding large cities. Insured loans must be secured by mortgages' and the houses built in conformance to necessary requirements. Moderni zation and repair loans up to $10,000 may be made if a bor rower can demonstrate ability to repay the loan. In previous ex perience with these loans, the FHA insured 1,450,000 loans, amounting to more than $560, 000,000. Claims paid to lenders on defaulted loans amounted to $13,416,420 but the FHA recov ered $6,556,826 through rein statement and the seizure of equipment. The net loss was only 1.22 per cent. MENACE U. S. SALMON Japanese-Amexican commercial rivalry came to the front recently when representatives of West Coast and Alaskan fisheries urg ed Congress to close waters ad jacent to Alaska to Japanese fish ermen in order to protect the sal mon fishing industry. Anthony J. Dimond, delegate from Alaska, proposes that the United States assert its exclusive right to take salmon in an area bounded by the Alaska. This region consists of international boundary between the United States’ and the Soviet Union, the Aleutian Islands and several thousand square miles, with its western boundary a thousand miles from the Alaskan Coast. Such an extension of American jurisdiction would be an extra ordinary step in international law but Mr. Dimond believes that a FLOWERS For AH Occasions At B & T Drug Co. SPARTA, N. C.

He asserts that fish hatch ed in American waters which re turn exclusively to American waters to spawn should be under our conservation laws. This theory has been asserted by Scandinavian countries. Japanese fish processing steamers operating near the Alaskan coast are accus ed of taking salmon tvithout re striction and without regard to conservation laws which are rigid ly enforced against American fishermen. Japanese nets, miles in length, are strung along shal low bottoms about the mouths of fresh water streams and take huge catches as the fish return to spawn. HOW TO END (Continued from page one) er Commission. 6. BUILDING: This is the key log in the jam of the capital goods industries. Words can hardly express my feelings over the tactics and wage demands of skilled building mechanics. New building, under current labor' and material conditions', is almost im possible. Here are suggestions to lower costs: a. Cut financing costs even further than in the New Housing Act by allowing 90 per cent mort gage money at 3 per cent inter est amortized over 25 years on houses under $5,000. b. Cut labor costs by govern ment offer to building workers to make up any drop in annual in come from April 1, 1938 to April 1, 1939 over their 1936 earnings provided they cut their pay rates 20 per cent. c. Ask . material concerns to re duce prices to equal reduced costs. 7. LABOR: Forces have been started here that will be har'd to stop. But a few kind words for employers will make them fee? . that the dice are not all Loaded against them. I have in mind: a. Make labor unions liable to suit as are business corporations. Require them to file annual finan- i cial infoirmation as do employers. ' b. Give employers equal rights and responsibilities under the Wagner Labor Act with labor organizers. c. Do not interfere with wage scales. Let them rise or fall as economic conditions demand. 8. AGRICULTURE: Take Sec retary Wallace’s advice as to agri cultural legislation. Basically, however> solution of these cur rent business problems wH help farmers more than anything that government legislation can do for them. There are other changes need ed, but these are essential now. No other president has had the tremendous opportunity for na tional service which Mr. Roose velt possesses. This entire sched ule could be put into effect very quickly. Just the announcement that such a program IS to be adopted would snap the nation out of the current morass in one , lightning jump. These proposals ■ are logical, .and practical. So here is one businessman’s answer to Mr. Kennedy’s suggestion!
