 WITH JAMES !. HiIl

 Hfl read a paper in which he assert- ed that Q goyernment-owned shipping line would almost certainly drag the United States sooner or later into op, en conflict with foreign Nations.
 Secretary of Commerce Red6eid re- piled. saying that Hin's paper was bas- ed on surmise and not facts. The Sec, retary said that it has been advertised over the world that We would meet trouble if we bought German ships. yet the government had been ap- preached to purchase British. French and Russian vessels He closed with the assertion that the "extortion Of the shipping interests is closing Amer ican factories" and the violation of written contracts by shipping conn panies makes the robbers of the mid de ages look like public beneiactors.
