Matter.

Washington, April administration
officials have practically abandoned the
expectation that the senate will at this
session of congress authorize the president
to take punitive measures against Nene-
Zuela for her refusal to refer to arbitra-
ton the disputed claims of American citi-
zens and corporations against that cOun-
try. All the papers in the case are be-
fore the senate committee on foreign rela-
tions. and ample time has been given for
a thorough consideration of the matter.
Public opinion as to the merits of the
controversy has not developed to any
great extent the officials say. as a re-
suit of the publication of this correspond
ence and for this reason the senate COM
mttee probably does not feel justified in

cial interests in Venezuela which would

while no sentiment has developed in favor
of drastic action.

ROOSEVELT
THREATENS
: TO USE VETO
Naval Bill Passed by the House
Has No Appropriation
for BattleShipS.
AIR BLUE IN VICINITY
OF EXECUTIVE MANSION
THINKS CONGRESS is TRYING TO
MAKE HIM APPEAR RI.
DlCULOUS.

Washington, April 22-President
Roosevelt will veto the naval appropri-
alton bill should the senate, as did the
house. fail to make any appropriation
for the two battleships which are au-
thOrized in the measure. The prompt
announcement of this fact to the SEN
ate leaders today is regarded as re-
spOnsible for the announcement by Mr.
Hale that he would propose an amend
ment appropriating $7.00O.O0O toward
the construction of those ships.
, Roosevelt Was Emphatic.
The president stated his position on
this point with his usual emphasis and
suddenness today, upon learning that
the bill as passed by the house was
increase. Authorization of the ships
was made. but no money carried TO
make the provision effective. Such leg
islation as this, the president made
known to his numerous congressional
callers, was a travesty as to effective
ness. as we'll as bearing all the ear
marks of legislative legerdemain in
tended to make ridiculous his campaign
for the greater navy.
Threat of Veto Effective.
That the presidents quick and vigor-
Gus action is to be effective is evidenced
by the action of Chairman Hale of the
senate naval committee in announcing
THAT at the proper time he will propose
the S7O00,000 amendment. As to his
threat of veto, the president made it
plain that should the wisdom of con-
gress result in the passage of a bill
providing for no naval increase what
ever. he would have no ground what
ever upon which TO veto the measure.
Any attempt at what he regards as
travesty on legislation by authorizing
and not apprOpriating for ships he de-
clares he will defeat by the exercise of
his constitutional power to veto.
Fighting for Four BattIeships.
There is not the slightest indication
that the president has ceased his fight
for four new battleships, according to
the evidence of senators who talked
'~.ith him today. Senators who are with
the president in his fight on this propo-
sitiOn admit tonight that a careful sur
Vey of their strength in the senate
gives but vote of twenty-siX in that
body in favor of the presidents naval
program for four ships.
Lodge Has Quit the Fight.
Significance is attached to this poll
of the senate in that it is said TO show
a loss to the president of some of his
heretofore stanchest supporters in that
body. Senator Lodge is understood to
have quit the fight for the full naval
program advocated by the president,
and to have given his reasons PERSONAL
~ to the president for so doing. The
loss of the influence of the Massachu-
sets senator is regarded as responsible
for the weakness shown by the poll, as
it Is believed by those favoring the pro-
gram that had the presidents senatorial
supporters entered the fight with the
VigOr he has evidenced his desire in
this direction might have been realized.

issue on the floor of the house We are
now amazed to find that Messrs. Cannon,
Payne and DalZell have changed their tao
ties and avow a desire to study the tariff
phases of this paper question. They say
they want the whole matter investigated
thoroughly, though they know that such
inquiry will carry over the entire prop
Osition to the next session OF congress.
They now pose as champions who have
been eagerly asking for that which for
months they had the power to refuse and
which they did refuse.

succeeded in side-tracking the Stevens

tage of accumulation Of paper makers
who. in desperate effort to maintain arti-
fetal prices on a declining market, have
shut down nearly 30 per cent of their mills
and who by throwing into idleness a con-
siderable number of their employees have
shown the insincerity of their professions
that the tariff duty on paper was needed
to protect that paper.

try in general. and to report on re-

AN EPoCH-MAKING EVENT.

As is well said by writer In the
current issue Of American Industries,
the conference OF governors Of the
states and territories which Presl-
dent Roosevelt has called to meet at
the White House Is an assembly
unique alike In object and in con-
stitution.
Never before have the executive
heads OF all the commonwealth OF
the union met in Washington or else
where for any purpose, and never be-
fore has a conference representing
every section OF the country as this
does. been officially called together
for the purpose OF arriving at COM
prehenslve program for the conserva-
ton OF the national resources. Thus
the conference will be an epoch
making event in a double sense and
doubtless the proceedings OF the ses-
sions heidi n the historic east room,
are being watched, as they should be
with keen interest py Americans of
all degrees and sections. The scene
should be worth concentrating
when the chief executive OF the
worlds greatest federation faces for
the first time in history the chief ex-
ecutives OF the forty-six constituent
states, all met to consult together of
waysof keeping for future Amer!-
cans the heritage OF natural re-
sources, which has lifted America to
her present place OF wealth and
power. There are other distinguish
ed men present, among them repre-
sentatives OF all the important ma
tioual organizations of one kind and
another. the welfare of which de-
ponds upon natural resources.
