House Naval Committee Lets Pass Opportunity to Reopen Controversy Be- tween White House an3 Navy League •Washington, Jan. 5—(AP)—The house naval committee today let pass an opportunity to reopen the controversy between the White House and the Navy League. It called many witnesses to dis- cuss the Vinson bill to build the navy up to treaty strength, nut despite urging by some members, the committee chairman, Vinson-of Georgia, persuaded the gruop to leave out William Howard Gardi- ner, president of the League.

The Demo- cratic chairman held it would be much easier to show the Navy's needs by testimony of experts in the Navy Department. So he called today upon Secretary Adams; Admiral William V. Pratt, the chief of operations and highest ranking officer, and heads of sev- eral navy- bureaus. Vinson hoped to develop from them arguments to induce Major- ity Leader Eainey to withdraw op- position to the legislation this year. The House Committee .hearings probably will last a week.

U,S.Position at Geneva Is Clear ly Outlined; Is Against Budgetary Plan American Officials Do Not .Consider it Feasible to Limit Arms on Basis of Their Cost , BY JOHN F. CHESTER Washinaton, Jan. 5—(AP)—Op- position of the H6o»er administra- tion to reduction of world arma- ments at the Geneva .conference on any purely budgetary basis to- day-became a certainty, This world awaited America's delegates ; to the approaching gen- •eral disarmament parley,, who gath- ered for consultation and instruc- tion. Informal^ talks at the state department were set for today and a formal meeting .planned tomor- row. Statements bearing on the Unt- ied States' position at Geneva, made in fully authoritative quart- ers sum up the position this way; American officials do not now consider it feasible to limit the number of men, airms or ships strictly on the basisi of their cost/ since wages and materials are higher here than abroad. Direct limitation, that is, cutting down the number od men or arms above those.needed to insure in- y temal order, remains m'pre in line with Americans ideas. Administration officials believe the TJnited States' land armament is less in proportion to population than that of almost any' country to attend the Geneva conference^— that America's land armament now is cut to the bone and\ can not Well be reduced f urfcher. President Hoover feels that Am- erica should go to Geneva in the role of a great \moral force\ rath- er than as a propounder of a defi- nite, technical scheme for reducing European arms. , , Secretary StimSon has had drawn what has heen • called a policy chart, hut it is to guide the delegation in meeting prob- lems, and possibly in wielding di- verging views of other countries during the discussions. Those, \within reach for the pre- sailing parleys are Ambassador- Charles G.
