Comes Out Strongly as the
Champion of Free Wool
and Free Sugar in Three
Years as Provided for in
House Measure
WILL NOT PERMIT
ANY COMPROMISES T.
Says of Course He Expects
Some Minor Amendments
by the Senate. But None
in the Two Sections
Mentioned
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1spA7cHl


WASHINGTON. May 15.-President
Wilson came out strongly tonight as
champion of free wool and free sugar
in three years as provided for in the
tariff bill recently passed by the house.
He announced emphatically he is not
considering compromises of any sort
and stood squarely behind the meas
ure as passed by the house and re-
garded it the duty of the democratic
majority in the senate to fulfill its
platform pledge by enacting the house
bill into law.
Il am not the kind" said the presi-
dent, that considers compromises.
when I once take position. L have
taken a stand with the house leaders
for the present bill. Enough said. I
am not looking for or accepting COM
promises
The presidents utterances We're
made to half a hundred newspaper cor
respondents who gathered as usual to-
day at the White House for the semi
weekly conference At the same time
the senate engaged in a protracted de
bate at the end of which an agree
ment was reached tonight to Vote to-
morrow on the question of public hear
lnSs on the tariff bill
While the president smilingly let it
be known that he is expressing no
opinion whatever for the hearings and
that this is a question for the senate
to dispose Of his statement Of unquaii-
fled support of the house bill is taken
generally to mean that Wilson consid-
cred that argumets from special inter
ests on the tariff schedules have been
closed when the measure passed the
house and regards the efforts to obtain
hearings as a filibustering device.
The correspondents were about to
leave the office when the president
asked if it were true that reports had
been circulated of compromises on the
wool and sugar schedules All day
there had been rumors that conces-
sions of some kind were to be made in
the principal schedules in order to sat
isfy the opposition in the senate. The
president had been told by friends that
some sources We're confident in the eX-
pectation that a duty would be put on
raw wool or that the provision for free
sugar after three years would be
dropped. To counteract these state
NETS he took occasion to make his po-
sition clear. OF course it is expected
at the White House that there will be
minor changes in the bill made by the
finance committee and certain equali-
cations and corrections which have
been approved by the house leaders
since the bill left it's hands, but in the
pricipal schedules. such as wool >nd
sugar, the president is determined
there will be no change if he can pre-
vent them. There We're even intinla
tions that he might veto the bill if it
came from the senate with amend
ments on wool and sugar.

SUGAR AGAIN
UNDER DEBATE
IN THE SENATE
Ransdell Of Louisiana and
Thomas Of Colorado Are
Divided Over Just What
Democrats Are Really
Pledged to
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1spArcHl

WASHINGTON, May 15.-The sugar
schedule was again the subject of an
enlivened debate, Senator Ransdell of
Louisiana, answering the claim OF
James of Kentucky, that the democrat
ic platform had warned Louisiana to
expect free sugar. Ransdell submitted
the records in an effort to show that
the party was not committed to free
sugar. Senator Thomas of Colorado
discussed the threats of business de-
pressions if the Underwood bill became
law. No panic history in this com
try was ever caused by an attempt to
revise the tariff he said. The sena-
tyr aroused the republican side by
reading a magazine article which al
legged that the panic of eighteen and
ninety three was manufactured by the
banking interests who desired repeal
of the Sherman silver purchase act.
According to the article circulars were
sent out from New York to the banks
demanding that they retire part of the
circulation, and call in a large part of
the loans with the object of forcing
! congress to pass the legislation. Sen
/ ators Norris and Root expressed sur
| prise that such a circular had been
sent and asked if it had been signed
Il didn't give the name because none

name. AS a result of the circular

BUILD RAILWAY
ACROSS ALASKA
Secretary Lane of Interior
Department Says That
Only in This Way Can
Resources of TERRITORY BE
Developed
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATCH1


WASHINGTON, May 15.-Secretary
himself on record today of favoring a
railway system in Alaska constructed,
owned and operated by the govern
ment.
Government ownership of rail
ways in Alaska" he said seems to me
to be the only policy that. would most
certainly make for our lasting welfare"
The secretary expressed the views of
the latter in responding to inquiries
from Senator Pittmann, chairman of
the committee on territories, which
now has under constellation bills pro-
viding for the construction of a ma
tional government railway system in
Alaska.
But there is one way to make any
country a real part of the world the
secretary wrote and that is by the
construction of railroads into it. This
has been the heart of England's policy
in Africa and Russia's policy in West
erni Asia. Prompting the hope of q
new movement in China
L am convinced we should think of
Alaska a land not only of mines and
fisheries but of towns, farms, mills
and factories, supporting millions of
people, the hardest and most whole
some of our race. If this conception
of a possible Alaska is a true one our
legislation should be such as most
surely to bring about this possibility.
| 1t seems to me less hazardous to Alas
ka's future if the government owns the
| railroads which make its fertile inter
| ior accessible from the coast and bring
| its coal. iron, copper and other mineral
resources within the reach of the
world.
! This is a new policy in the United
! States. Property changes with new
| conditions. One determining question
| in all matters of the government should
/ be what is the wise thing to DO
! '"The ancient method in the opening
of a country was to build wagon roads
| the modern way is to build railroads
/ To build these railroads ourselves and
control them may be an experiment

daIs more shameful, or political condi-
tions more unhealthy than many we
have known in portions of our country
under private ownership.
and in the end we will be free to
establish and maintain our chosen re-
lationship between Alaska and the rest
of the United States unhampered by
threats of confiscation or the restrain
ing hand of any merely selfish influ-
ences. We can only secure the high
est and fullest use of Alaska by max
ing her railways wholly subordinate to
her industrial and social life needs,
, through public utilities.
Il favor the adoption of this policy
I believe it to be that under which
Alaska will develop most safely and
most speedily and under which the
resources of that territory will most
certainly become available to the whole
people"
