Bliss, declared today before the. house naval committee. The general gave to the committee the impressions he had gained through dis- cussions of the subject with European statesmen and soldiers while a member of the supreme wer council and later of the American peace commission. He said there was un immediate and sincere de- sire overseas for disarmament, but added that until @ definite agreement had been reached h4 would not “disarm one Amer- fean soldier or lay up one’ American hip.” ™ Gencral Bliss said also that the Unit- ed States should complete her present naval bullding program. In this con- nection the committee received from Secretary Daniels a full statement as to the relative naval strength of the world powers showing that of the United States fo be now midway between that of Great Britain and Japan. His figures indicated, however, that with thecom- pletions of the present authorized co struction of the three nations, the Ameri- zan capital ship power would be as great s that of Great Britain, bui with the ratio over Japan slightly reduced. The house committee concluded tem- porarily its disarmament hearing pend- ing discussion by the members of its tature program, but may examino otber witnesses later. Chairman Butler, who recently returned from a conference With President-elcct Harding, said that “with- in a very few months definite action will be taken along the lines we are discuss- Ing Nere.” The semato foreign relations comn; tee also concluded today its hearings on pending disarmament resolutions. Sena- lor Borah, republican, Idaho, a mem- ber- of the committee, predicted that his proposal for negotiations looking to an agreement between the United Sta‘es, Great Britain and Japan for a reduction of future naval construction would be fa- vorably reported in amended form.

Y., Jan. 12—Enforcement of prohibition by the state of New York was urged tonight by Governor Miller. This, he said in a message asking the legislature to take action in the matter, would “make it possible for law abiding communities to prevent the flagrant vio- lations of law mow oceurring in our midst.” “The honest enforcement of the law may lead to its modification ; the tolerat- ed disobedience of it can only breed a order. and create contempt for all law,’ said his message, referring to the eighteenth amendment and the Volstead act.

(By. a Staff Correspondent.) Hartford, Jan. 12.—The second day of the legislative session of 1921 has passed and the good old ship of state has been siven its biennial dip into the varied law- making sea. There are no political ob- structions and should the dear old craft drift from the/course selected by the party leaders it will not be due to the interference of democrats in the navigas tion. 1t is already evident that some important-measures Wwill now be fought to a finish and without. tendency to pasty disruption. The democrats, or perhdps one or two of the dozen in the house, may attempt to filibuster on some matters but it will be only an attempt, as there are not enough of them to cut any figure. The only democfat in the senate will content himself with Pickett duty for his party and let it go at that. He has al- ready shown disposition to avold promi- nence by his prominent loneliness. While of a different type than his predecessor, the veteran John Hurley of Waterbury, Who never spoke a dozen words at a sin- sle session of the many terms he served in the senate, and was without influence, Mr. "Pickett will be given courteous con- sideration. The several standing committees have been appointed, hoth in (he senate and house, and soon seats will be assigned to members. “Then t] e general acquairitance of members will vegin and each member will know each other and be able to lo- cate them when necessary. Until this is done there will be a sort of groping tow- ard constructive legislation. The governor in his message urged a short session, which he declared could be made effective by getting at business without delay. The speakef of the house declared the session ought to be sufficiently long to do the state business properly, and spoke against undue haste. The 1919 session closed May 8, a month ahead of the limit placed by law. Harry L. Peterson of Norwich, ap- pointed assistant clerk of the senate by Clerk W. Arthur Countryman, was at his desk when the senate opened on Wdenes- day. His experiences at the 1919 session as stenographer for the judiciary commit- tee wil} be of advantage in his new posi- tion. Speaker Huxford called the house to order at 11 and the initial prayer was offered by Rev. Edward D. Ayer, the “blind chanlain,” who Is yastor of the el Congregational church at Montville. The speaker then anounced the standing and specigl committees for the session as fol- love.

The fight between Licutenants Farrell and Hinton shortly after their arrival here yesterday afternoon was aseribed, in a statement issued before their de- parture tonight, to overwrought minds induced “by the!r hardships and grueil- ing struggles that had to be indured ou the trip over the trail from Moose Fac- tory. The statement, presented to newsnaper men by Lieutenant Kloor, was prepared, he_said, at the direction of Hinton ana Farrell. who had mended their differenc- es. The three officers were together in the private car of H. B. Way, divisional superintendent of the Canadian National Rallways whew the document was drawn. “On several occasions during the trip, the statement said,, “after @ long and tiresome walk one or two of us would secome grouchy and at the slightest prov- ocation would make a fuss.

Before thls vote was taken, the house, jumping from one ex- treme to the other, dcfeated count an amendment limiting the amount to_$100,000,000. There was a tinge of old-time prohibi- tion bitterness in the haif-hour debate preceding the final clearing away of the whole question as to how. far e-ngress should go in making the country “b:me dry. % Pleading for a larger gum than had been fixed by the approoriations commit- tee In framing the legisiative, executive and judicial bill, Mr. Volstead gave warning that th= country would be heard from if it was the poi‘ey of congress to cut down appropriati-ns and make the job of enforcement a foke. Mr. Vol- stead sald he merely proosel a fizure nearer that which the uttorney general had fequested. Ropresentative ~ Gallfvan, demoerat Massachusetts. gave the house fts first indication that a fight was brewing by pronosing to make the appropriation $100.000,000.

TO FEAME A WORKABLE PERMANENT TARIFF LAW Washington, Jan. 12.—Repubiican leaders in congress propos: to frame a workable permanent tardt law despite the chuotic foreign exchange situation and the uncertainties of foreign labor conai- tions, Chairman Fordney of the house ways and means committee declared to- day during discussion of a revision of the Underwood act. f Witnesses before the committee called attention to what they described as a concentrated effort on gaeir part of Eu- ropeans eapecially English and Germans, 1o rush their products to America as & means of bastening a readjustment of adverse exchange rates—the statemefits brought from Representative Garner. dem- ocrat, Texas, a question as to whether it were possible at present to draft a law which would meet future conditions. as- suming excrange rates would be restored 10 an equiibrium within a-year or two. “I think it will be impossible,” H. L. Henry, a Geneva, New York, manufact- urer, replied, “to draft a tariff biil that will be workable under the present con- dltions, future readjustments cannot be forecast and rates that may be good now will serve no purpose later on.” “You sfoke a parable there” eaid Mr. Garner, “But our republican friends in sist that we should go ahead. They will attempt the impossible.” Mr. Garner's statement was eut short by Mr. Fordney., wh ointerjected : We stand on our declaration. Tt is our plan to frame a new tariff and we are going to do ft. The exchanee' situa- tion, of course, presents difficulties, but we think (hos can be surmounted.” The colloquy ended, Mr. Foraney asked the witness concerning rates needed to block imports from KEurope. Mr. IHenry answered that none of the firms in h's trade had been able to compute the rates required becauss of the constant changzes in exchante. He added that nome in Amerlca could foretell what the Fnropean labor market of the future wou'd he or whether the icreizn cost of produvetn would continue to decrease, as now Indi- cated. 4 OPERATION OF EMERGENCY SHIPYARDS A FAILURE Washington.
