(When conciliation of Tokio Intimates Cool Reception to U. S. Fleet Orders Spokesman Declares “We Must Accept Pratt’s 2 o Explanatio By the Assoclated Press. ‘TOKIO, February 11.—A Japanese navy spokesman, commenting on ad- vices from Washington that the United States Atlantic Fleet would remain in the Pacific, said: “If Admiral Pratt (chief of naval operations) says that economy is the reason, we must accept that as the true explanation. “Likewise, we must accept the state- ment that the decision is in no wise connected with the international situ- ation. “There is no reason why the Japan- ese navy should comment, take excep- tion or do anything concerning it. It remains to be seen, however, what the Japanese public reaction will be in these times of international strain. Little causes sometimes create big sen- sations.” Asked what the public likely would ink, the spokesman smiled and said, “see tomorrow’'s newspaper.” However, early editions of the Sunday news- papers lacked comment. ‘The spokesman, is discussing the American Navy's economies, mentioned that the American Navy appropriations for 1933-34 will be four times as great as those of Japan at present rates of exchange, despite the fact that the navy's share of the budget, 373,000,000 yen, being debated in the Diet, is ex- citing the criticism of Parliament.

Permanent and in- definite appropriations, which occur each year automatically without action of Congress, are estimated at $2,947,- 500, making & grand total of $37,3989,065. Of the decrease, $1,275,000 is in the Federal contribution for maintenance of the National Capital. The appropri- tions for the present fiscal year in- cluded $7,775,000 as a Federal contri- bution, which was a compromise agree- ment. The bill reported today carries $6,500,000, which is the recommenda- tion of the Mapes committee and the amount written into the bill as it passed the House last year, but which was increased to $9,500,000 in the Sen- ate and then decreased in the confer- ence between the two houses. There is a reduction of $4,885427 from the current appropriation and a decrease of $963,205 in the items pay- able from District revenues derived from taxes on resj estate, tangible and intangible property, public utilities, banks and from miscellaneous re- sources.

Holaday, Re- publican, Illinois, & member of the sub- committee which drafted the Distri appropriation bill, told the House that “necessary legislation should promptly enacted to authorize the pur- chase by the Federal Government of the present District Building at a price of approximately $5,000,000 and that the District Government should be per- mitted to occupy this building, rent free, until the new Municipal Building is ready for occupancy.” Minority Report Filed.

In many Rhine- land cities the people believed an earth- quake had shaken the district. Hardly a pane of glass remained in- tact in an area 10 miles in diameter surrounding the iron works. Three or four smaller blasts followed the first one. Many women and children were among the injured and every hospital in the city and nearby area was filled to capacity. Comparatively few men were at work at the time of the blast because of renovations being made in the iron works. In the surrounding area the streets were filled with the debris of homes and shops.
