REAL TRADE BODY BACKS BUDGET ESTIMATES Committee Urges Adoption of | Schedules for School Land | and Buildings. f Additional support for the budget | estimates for schools for the fiscal year 1931, as submitted bv the Board of Education and on which the school au- | thorities are making a firm stand, eomes from _the public schools commit- tee of the Washington Board of Trade. The committee 2t a luncheon meeting held yesterday at the City Club record approving the budget “as s mitted by the Board of Education, par- ticularly stressing the items for land and buildings.” 1t was brought out in | the resoiution that “the committee fecls | that these estimates cover only urgent immediate needs” and that the commit- tee “believes that the total budget js not out of proportion to the present needs.” Needs Are Stressed. The meeting, presided over by Thomas | P. Littlepage, the chairman, was ad- dressed by Dr. Frank W. Ballou, su perintendent of schools, and Edwin C. Graham, former member of the Board of Education and a past president of the Board of Trade, both stressing the need for progress in the school building program. | Dr. Ballou declared that school au- | thorities are seriously concerned over continued operation of portable | #chools and sald that there was some | fear that they might collapse. He added that it might be necessary to ut some of the elementary schools on alf time in order to get the children out of the portables. This, he pointed out, would reduce the amount of edu- cation for the pupils affected. | Destroyed Three Roofs. Dr. Ballou reminded the committee that there are 75 portables still in use | here and that last vear a windstorm blew the roofs off three of them. Mr. Graham stressed the need for 1and and buildings, especially for: the elementary schools, and declar:d that the budgetary estimates for the schools was not out of proportion-to the actual needs. Among_guests at the meeting were: Stephen E. Kramer, assistant superin- tendent of schools; Hemry Gilligan, chairman of the legislative committee of the Board of Education; Harry O. Hine, secretary to the Board of Educa- tion, 'and Dr. William Knowles Cooper, post woncral secretary of the Y. M. A, which operates the District of Columbia College.

As_this type of craft is regarded by the United States as particularly im. portant in its scheme of national de fense, the American attitude, the ad- miral suggested, may decide the future progress of disarmament discussions. TInstead of considering the problem of | reducing or limiting the number of 10,000-ton cruisers as part of the gen- eral problem of limiting all types of naval armament not touched by the | Washington agreement, Admiral Okada argued that the only really essential thing was to reach an agreement with respect to 10,000-ton cruisers alone. For that reason, he said, the position of the United States becomes all-important, for at Geneva in 1927 and since it had taken the position that the large cruiser is a type of naval craft best suited to its needs. Numbers Are Important. ! “It takes from two to three years at | least to build a large cruiser,” Admiral | Okada explained to me. that the fighting strength of a nation, so far as 10,000-ton cruisers are con- gree on the number of ships rea | service when war breaks out. “Of course, if the war should last a long time & nation beginning an exten- sive program of cruiser building at its outset would change the balance after two or three years. But during these first two or ‘three critical years its strength in large cruisers equals the ‘renflh it. enjoyed before the war. “On the other hand, the time re- quired to construct smaller ships, light cruisers, submarines, etc, is not so at. A great industrial power, such the United States or Great Britain, could quickly and easily build a large fleet of such auxiliary ships. The im- portance of limitation in those cate- gories, therefore, is not as vital as in the case of cruisers. “Japan is not averse to any ment which would include them in l general limitation agreement. We favor any reasonable plan which would help reduce the burden of armaments weigh- ing down the world. But the most im- portant necessity, we feel, is an agree- ment concerning’ large cruisers.” “Would Japan be willing dmiral Okada was asked, “to extend the 5-5-3 nfln arrived at by the Washington Conference for .c:rlul ships down the line to smaller ips?” Thinks 5-5-3 Is Safeguard. “No” he replied. “For a number of argely technical, a & lobal tonnage of capital by the t powers was -ecephble to us in 1921.

We feel it necessary, therefore, to insist on an arrangement which would do Japan Justice.” In reply to & question regarding the official Japanese attitude on the project to abolish the submarine Admiral Okada said: “The submatine goes against tne spirit of bushido, the old code of chivalry in Japan. For that reason we Tegret its use. At the same time Japan is not a rich nation. In de- fense of the empire we must look to methods which do not further impov- erish us. The submarine, which can- not well be used as an instrument of aggression, but is primarily defensive, is the poor nation’s battleship. must therefore oppose its abolition.” Favors Early Conference. In Admiral Okada’s opinion it would be much wiser for the great naval pow- ers to have the meeting for the revision or extension of the Washington treaty in the near future rather than wait until 1931, when the treaty expires Before that time, he pointed out, the al powers, including Japan, will be faced with the necessity of replacing those of their capital ships which have become obsolete or worn out. In order protected properly in the event that the 1931 conference (if it is called at that time) ends in no agreement, the nations soon must actually begin laying the keels of capital ships intended for replacement. To avold that expense, ‘it would be wise were the Washington conference to be called within the next year. ‘The admiral also expressed the thought that there or at some other international conference the general problem of neutral rights and freedom of the seas might well be considered in connection with the problem of naval limitation. “I want to say,” said Admiral Okada, “that I am not pessimistic about the ul- have been going on among the powers on this great problem of limiting arma- ments. I am, on the whole, optimistic. It s s problem for statesmen, and statesmen everywhere are agreed that lome'.hlng should be done. Japan now, ‘Washington and at Geneva, is al 'lyl ready to do its share to brin to a successful conclusion any negoti: tions having that gre object in view.

General reading was urged upon the group, as “there is no field of knowledge s lawyer does not come in contact with.” Calling atten- tion to the large number of women to receive degrees, he sald that he be- lieved the proportion of woman gradu- | ates was greater than that of any other | law college in America.
