AMERICAN GOLFERS
CAN'T HOLD UP NAVY

Washington, Oct. B President
Roosevelt will not permit American
owners of ships to exact excessive
prices from The government for carry
ing Goa for the big battlcship fleet
that will sail for the Pacific in Decem-
Der.
Unless they are prepared TO 10 the
work at reasonable cost. and will de-
liver With p%romptness and certainty at
h points selected as coaling sta
tions, the contracts will be given to for
eign ship owners.
The president permits this to be
known not as a threat to American
shipping interests, put 1Ierely that the
ship owners may know that they cam
not hold up the government because
it will need a large Goa supply and
will need it almos Immediately.
To Foreign Ships.
He discussed the situation with the
secretary of the nnNy. and the conclu-
sion reached was that if there is any
doubt regarding the reasonableness of
the American bids for carrying the
coal. or any question regarding the
promptness of its delivery. then the
contracts will be given to foreign ships.
The president is willing that the
American ships should charge more
than the foreign carriers. and he will
approve a proposition which makes the
cost of the coal supply in American bot
toms some thousands more than 1t
would cost in English ships. but he will
not tolerate any attempt at %extortion.
The indications are now that Amer
team ships will get the contracts to
carry GOA from the Atlantic coast to
United States ports on the Pacific COAST
and that foreign ships will do the cars
rying TO South American ports.
To Pacific, Sure.
The president reiterated his an
nouncement that the battleship fleet
is going to the Pacific. He said this
lest anyone SHOULD CUB his determine
alton in view of the criticism directed
against the project by democratic leads
ers and newspapers.
Not only is the feet going. but it is
well understood that. despite all de-
malls, its trip is intended to demonstrate
to Japan that if that country contem-
plates any trouble With the United
States the United States will he pre-
pared to defend itself.
In addition to such a demonstration,
1T is understood the president will ask
for a larger increase in the naval force
from the next congress-. '
