LONDON, March 6.—Statement by Secretary Henry L. Stimson that the United States is willing to reduce its sea grmament by more than 200,000 tons—if the fleets of the other naval powers are reduced also—was the prin- cipal topic of discussion in naval eonference circles today. In a surprise announcement, Col. Stimson said: “There seems to be an impres- sion that the work of the Ameri- can delegation at this conference is likely to result in an increase instead of a reduction in the ton- nage of the navies of the world. The surest way to answer that is to give such results as seem to be within reach up to date. “A plan which, in its essentials, appears to be acceptable to Amer- ica and Great Britain provides for net reduction in tonnage of the American fleet, in capital ships, cruisers, destroyers and submarines, built, building or ap- propriated for, of over 200,000 tons and an even larger reduction on the part of the British fleet. “If the authorized but not n.l _ flu\: greater, ductions are contingent upon some. re- Quctions being made in the fieets of the Anglb-American desi French demand for 724,000 naval tons Secretary Stimson refused to dlfilce the d the American there was one with the suggestion ted the S - |in the Senate than they Rooms AHotted to Him. By the Assoclated Press. Subjected to a cross-examination in the Senate today, Senator Grundy, Re- publican of Pennsylvania, insisted that no one “directly or indirectly” con- nected with the American Tariff League occupied his offices in the Senate Office Building. Senator Grundy declared that the persons in his extra office in the Senate Office Building were employed by him to assist him in tariff revision after Senator Harrison, Democrat, of Missis- sippi, had demanded an explanation of a newspaper story stating that officers of the American Tariff League were using the Grundy offices. After Grundy’s explanation Senator Caraway, Democrat, of Arkansas, chair- man of the Senate lobby committee, sharply examined him.

NORTH DAKOTAN AVERS STATE HAS PROSPERED Representative Burtness Denies Law Has Worked Hard- ship on Farmers. By the Associated Press. Patrick H. Callahan, a prominent Catholic layman from Louisville, Ky., to- day took up defense of the eighteenth amendment before the House judiciary committee with a challenge to any one who sought to align the prohibition movement with Protestantism alone. He said the charge had been made and still was heard that prohibition was Protestantism and purposely planned to interfere with Catholic services by “ultimately making it impossible to offer up the sacraments of the mass.” This he denied as untrue and said that as a Catholic layman he held the same influence as other leaders in the dry movement. Callahan was the second witness of the day. He took the stand after Rep- Dakota, had appeared to reply to testi mony that prohibition was hardship on the farmer by cu grain markets.

She intimated neither English food nor climate agreed with her, besides which she was lonesome in consequence of her first separation from her husband, Seth De Maret, employe of the account- ing division of the Post Office Depart- ment, and their 6-year-old child. Secretary Stimson was reluctant to lose Mrs. De Maret's expert services, but gave her the necessary credentials for her return, including a letter saying she was ordered back at her own request.
