mission. WASHINGTON. Feb. 24. Th? con- j
gressiontl sse now hanging over army '
and navy appropriations is threaten
ing tha existence of more than half ,
of the nnvy yarda of the country, itj
was said today by nava lofticlals. j
Should the axe fall on naval appro-1
priations ss heavily as some congres- j
sional leaders are threatening the
navy department, it Is said, will bei
forced to virtually close ail but the
few absolutely vital establishments.
The ilaph in personnel at the yards
will nd70 unwail in 7 r, rftr font nf
.... -
the complement of each yard affected,
it is understood. This will maan even
more thousand or workers suspended
from employment than the recent or-
der stopping construction. !
Shouli the already well defined plan
of cutting the navy appropriations of!
$400,000,000 in haU materialize, onlv
four of the existing nine yards will b?
retained in commission. The o'hers
will be forced to gradually suspend
activity.
The yards likely to be retained are
the so-called '"strategic" establish
ments located at Brooklyn and Nor
folk, on the Atlantic, and Mare Island
and Pu?e' Sound on the Pacific. Both
Pacific yards are necessary, it is sa;d.
' ..... at...'.,, ii' k"... ,
hUftiwnt of itself lo rare for the pow-
urftil fleet now stationed in that re
gion, ihe yards HKeiy ro suner are
the Portsmouth, where a total of 2,322
i-ivilian workers are employed; Bos
ton, with 2,853 workers: Philadelphia.
4.952 workers; Washington, 6,1 S5
workers, an. I Charleston, 1.217 work-e-s.
The-iP complements are already
reduced and at each of the yard which
may be arretted deep cuts ranging up
ward to 75 per cent will occur, accord
ing to present estimates.
The navy department takes the po
sition --hat it cannot be responsible
for any such action, as the flatter is
now up to Congress, although thiy
hope to avoid any actually drastic
move, making any necessary cuts as
gradual as possible.

Subsequent events, it was .said to
day, would determine finally the ex-
tent of America's paiticlpation in the;
parley at some future date to be '.
agreed upon by the French and British ;
premiers in their meeting tomorrow. !
In' some Quarters, it was nredlcted '
today that the whole Genoa Drolect 1
j may be called off following the Lloyd- j
ucorge-foincare conference, it ii a ;
question whether the Genoa meeting
could accomplish a great deal without
American participation. It is known
that Lloyd -George Is keenly disap
pointed at the turn of events.
It is likely that many more reasons
will be found by the admin'stration
for non -participation In coming weeks.
The government's attention will be
riveted shortly upon the refunding of
foreign loans, negotiations for which
are soon to begin with all countries
indebted to the I'nited States. ;
In addition, the difficulties which i
the administration is experiencing in
getting the conference treaties through
the Senate Is to militate against the
undertaking of any further Interna -Honal
conference at this time.
