XPANSION CLAIM
Department's Policy Statement
Emphasizes Importance of
Rapid Mobilization.
PLANS FOR EMERGENCY
Fleet Should Be Strong Enough
to Support National Policy,
Adams Believes.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.-(A)-
Maintenance of the Naval estab-
lishment In such a state as to per-
mit rapid expansion in the event of
war was emphasized in a new state-
ment of the United Statesnaval
policy made public today by the
Navy department.
The principal change In the
statement, which bore the signature
of Secretary Charles Frances Ad-
ams, from that enunciated in 1928
under Secretary Wilbur was a call
for organization of the navy "as
far as possible so that only expan-
sion will be necessary in the event
of war."
In line with this principle was an
addition to the operating policy
which would provide for operating
"Naval dstricts, yards, stations and
bases for the maintenance of the
fleet and their operation in peace
so that these actiiities can be ex-
panded for war."
Prepare for Emergency.
Industrial mobilization in time of
war was contemplated under anoth-
er new provision. This said a part
of the policy was "to determine
emergency materialneeds; to plan
for their procurement and1 to co-
ordinate these plans with those of
the War Department."
It was described as fundamental
that "the Navy should be main-
tained in sufficient strength to sup-
port the national policies in com-
merce, and to guard the continental
and over-seas possessions of the
United States."
It repeated the statement from
the previous policy that it was the
intention to "create, maintain and
operate a Navy second to none and
In conformity with treaty provi-
sions," changing the phraseology to
provide for conformance to the
London treaty as well as the Wash-
ington agreement.
Would Build to Limit.
Whereas the cruiser building pol-
icy of two years ago definitely de-
clared against building any more
small cruisers, the new statement
specified simply that it was the in-
tention "to build and maintain
cruiser tonnage as allowed by treaty
provisions."
The scope of the heavier-than-
air policy was considerably enlarged
to provide for operating airplanes
"from air-craft carrier, battleships,
cruisers and with marine expedi-
tionary forces to their full author-
ised complement" for developing
the types of airplanes best suited
for "increasing the effectiveness of
naval vessels, destructive attacks on
all classes of naval objectives, and
for scouting and patrol."
War Secretary to Make Philippine Survey
Patrick J. Hurley (left), Secretary of War, is shown here with
Manuel Quezon, leader of the Philippine senate, with whom it is be-
lieved he has been conferring on the question of Philippine independ-
ence. Speculation is rife at Washington as to the significance of Secre-
tary Hurley's visit to the islands, during which he will study their status
on behalf of President Hoover.
CENSUS INDICATES
CAIN FOR NEGROES
Slight Decline in White Growth
Rate Shown in Government's
Racial Classification.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.-(/P)--
Racial classiffication of the Unitedl
States population was announced
today by the Census Bureau, show-
ing marked gain in Negro growth
rate and a slight loss in White
growth rate.
Duringthe last decade, the Ne-
groes increased by 13.6 per cent
as compared with 6.5 per cent in
the 10 years previous. The White
race increased 14.8 per cent as com-
pared with 16 per cent the decade
before.
Even when adjustment was made
for the approximately 700,000 Mexi-
can population counted as "white"
in 1920, the percentage of increase
for the white population was but
15.7 per cent in 1930.
Blames Lower Birth Rate.
The Census Bureau said the
white decline obviously was due to
the falling of the birth rate and the
restriction of immigration.
Nearly two-thirds of the entire
Negro increase took place in the
north, and the census bureau as-
sumed that large numbers of south-
ern negroes migrated northward.
However, the negroes in the south-
ern states increased by five per
cent.
Georgia, only state with more
than a million Negroes in 1920 de-
creased by 11.2 per cent, and Vir-
ginia and South Carolina also lost.
Mississippi gained by 8 per cent
and became second state with more
than a million Negro population-
1,009,718.
Negroes Gain in East.
New York state gained by 108 per
cent, making-the Negro population
412,814; New Jersey by 78.3 per cent
to 208,828; Pennsylvania by 51.5 per
,cent, to 431, 257.
Highest in percentage of Negro
gain was Michigan, 182 per cent,
with a present Negro population of
169,453. Illinois, gaining 80 per cent,
now has 328,972 Negroes; Ohio with
66.1 per cent has 309,304.
Because of the growing import-
ance of the Mexican population, the
Census Bureau said, it was given a
separate classification for 1930.
