The $800,000 bond issue would be floated to take advantage of the Cram. ton act which provides a Federal ap- propriation for park development in the county. In addition the Federal Government will loan up to $800,000 without interest in order that the de- velopment program might be started. An act of the last Legislature author- izes the Prince Georges County com- missioners to iake advantage of the of- fer at any time.

The Maryland Representative offered this idea for a solution of the Nation's unemployment problem at a luncheon of the Frederick Kiwanis Club. lewis returned last week from a tour of England, Germany, France and other European countries. While abroad he studied unemployment problems there and methods fcr relief. Mr. Lewis termed his solution for absorbirg the country’s 6,000,000 un- employed ‘“equipartition of ~existent employment” By that, he said, he meant “a fair divislon of the employ- ment available among all the workers willing to work.” Would Make It Compulsory. Many industries are retaining all their workers on & four or five day week. The Lewis plan differed from the program now being tried in that the Marylander would make such ac- tion compulsory on industry by law Advisory councils similarly constituted in each industry periodically should determine the number of work days a week available to employes within the industry, Mr. Lewis said. An excise tax equivalent to the money value of the excessive time granted an em- ploye, to compensate the unemployed, should be imposed on any employer granting & favored employe more than his share of such available employment, | he added. Alternative to Dole. Mr. Lewis offered this scheme as an ! alternative to the dole, contending it retained the basis of the dole system without any of its bad features. He held that “even four days' work a week would be much better than any dole now paid or that could be col. lected and would be quite equivalent to six days' wages in Europe. ANNE ARUNDEL AIDS D. C.

Commission, six ships of the line should be in service and two ships of the line in reserve—in other words, twice as many.” There were many blank spaces in the German statement under captions prescribed by the League Council. These showed the lack of land armed forces overseas, of armed air forces stationed in Germany and abroad, of cruisers of more than 6.1-inch guns diameter, and of submarines On the other hand, Germany has four ships of the line more than 20 years old and two vest pocket battleships under construction as well as the re- cently launched Deutschland. No air- craft carriers were shown, but five light cruisers and one under construction were revealed. She has 26 destroyers and torpedo boats and 113 auxiliaries, such as tugs and mine sweepers, The total naval tonnage is 125,780. . Storm warnings are displayed by the | Weather Bureau at more than 400 | points along the Atlantic, Pacific and Guif coasts and the shores of the Great Lakes.
