E TOO MUCH
IN PROPOSED
COAST BUILDINGS
_._
Paoifio News Service, Wash. Bureau.
WASHINGTON, D. C.—Assistant
Heoretary of the Treasury Byron U.
Newton, wUh tic backing of Presi
dent Wllsoi. Is making a strong fight
to prevent Congress enacting another
public buildings pork barrel measure.
Mr. Newton Is extorting every effort
to have appropriations contained In
the public buildings bill now before
the Congress thrown out on the plea
that too much money Is being appro
pi iated in comparison with the needs
of the towns. Most of the appropria
tions are for postofflce building's or
I sites—many of them for Pacific Coast
I points. Among the towns, approprtu
‘ tions for which Mr. Newton Is tight
; ing are:
Corvallis. Ore., Placervllle, Calif.,
| Itedlands, Calif., San Jose, San Mateo
and Santa Monica, Calif., Susanvillc
and Venice Calif.. Hood Klver, Ore.,
Hoqu'iam, Wash., Oregon City, Ore.,
Petaluma, Calif., Seattle, Long Beach,
Calif., Modesto, Oakland, San Bernar
dino, San Fruncisco, Calif., St. John's,
Oregon, Sacramento, Calif., and Jun
eau, Alaska. Mr. Newton's position
Is that these points do not now need
new sites or public buildings and that
It *18 extravagance to spend the peo
ples money for what he calls pork
i
when funds are needed for the nation
al defense. A hot fight over the quos- V
tlcn Is developing In Congress. Many |
members of both the House and the C
Senate are lining up on both sides of >
the question and it Is even stated 1
that if the bill Is Jammed through un- ■
der a gag rule President Wilson will ;
veto it.

JAP SILK INDUSTRY
WORRYING CHINESE
Pacific Niwi Service, Wash. Bureau
WASHINGTON, China is worried
her world-old silk industry. Japan
with newer processes of silk manufac
ture, has been out-distancing China
during the last few years in spite of
China’s reputation for silk manufac
ture which dates back almost indefi
nitely. he General Guild of tho silk
trade at Shanghai has appointed a
| special commission to go to Japan and
j the Chinese Government has in
structed its Minister at Tokyo to give
the commission every possible aid in
pursuing its investigation.
Japanese silk is generally held to be
interior in quality to Chinese silk, ac
cording to consular reports to the De
partment of Commerce which discuss
the Chinese and Japanese silk situa
tions. In spite of this difference, more
modern manufacturing and merchan
dising methods on the part of the Jap
anese is enabling the people of the
isle nd empire to encroach dangerously
on the Chinese trade.
SAN DIEGO TO HAVE

reu< htd in the near future.

facilities at the southernmost cltv in

ations of United States marines on the
Pacific Coast. With the cstabllshemnt
of this base an edcquate force will be
available at all times for expedition
ary duty Into southern and south
western waters without the delay oc
