LACK OF SUBSIDY
Schwerin was guest at the dinner
at the Waldorf Astoria and the society
of naval architects and marine en-

that his name be omitted from the list
of speakers, but as this had not been
done he felt it incumbent upon him to
tell the truth about what he termed
.'the most deplorable state of affairs in
American shipping.
Schwerin's subject was What the
United States is Doing for Its Merchant
Marine on the Pacific Coast He re-
ferred to the liberal subsidies which
are granted on the Pacific to British,
German and Japanese vessels. and said
that two magnificent vessels were to be
added to one Japanese line. which had
already increased its feet by three ad-
ditional ships in comparatively recent
times.
But a subsidy alone will not make a
line a success, he said. Let the
United States government pass a bill
like the Chinese prohibitive immigra-
ton enactment or the discouraginx Il
measure now in force with regard to
the Japanese. Let these companies
suffer the loss of their emigrant traf-

Meyer Admits Ruling May
Be Made to Prevent Work
for Roosevelt
BY Ira f. Bennett

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22-For the
past "a hours a number of interested
persons have been hunting diligently
for copy of the much advertised
executive order intended to suppress
federal Office holders who want to
elect Roosevelt third term delegates
TO the national convention. Not a
trace of the order has been found, and
it is asserted by cabinet officers that
there is no such order. Others describe
the incident merely as another
game of hide and seek" No news
from the White House of the past six
weeks created more of a commotion
than the direct intimation-so direct
that it amounted to an official state
ment-that the president intended to
put a stop to the use of his name for a
third term by federal office holders. The
news came so straight and so emphatic
that it was generally accepted as the
best evidence yet produced that the
presidents mind was fully made up on
the third term.
NO KNOWLEDGE OF ORDER
Two cabinet ohicers said fatty this
morning that they had heard of no such
order, that, they had not issued any
and did not expect to. One of the cabi-
net men volunteered the information
that he thought the whole thing was
newspaper talk.
AS the news was first received the
order was TO be directed particularly

of the ukase there. where it was as
serted today that the presidents order
would be carried out by the several
cabinet officers in the way they thought
most effective.
