OPEN FILIBUSTER ON SHIP PURCHASE BILL UNDER WAY
tconti.ued from Page One,

much the unwilling victims declared William c. Redfield, Secretary of Com merce. in an address tonight before the Louisville Transportation club
 Tt is shocking at this time, when the door of opportunity Is so widely open before us.' Mir. Redneld said, ''to have our ocean shipping facilities. on which the free movement of our foreign com merce depends, so fully in the hands of aliens who do not hesitate to exact their pound of flesh.
 'The cynical disregard that foreign steamship companies show for their con tracts and for the interests of Ameri- can commerce at large, is such as to make the attitude of robber baron look respectable. Wonderful as is the growth of our foreign commerce in these recent months. it Is but small part of that which it would be if our commerce were not throttled at it's source by the exac- tions of foreign owned steamship com panies''
