stood that common ground is indicated
on which the United States and Aus
trfa might come to an understanding.
Think Austrian Reply Is Mild.
Those who are conversant with the
contents of the reply express the con-
viction that the American government
cannot fail to realize the justice and
moderation of the Austrian govern
ment's attitude and they. view the re-
ply as fair and open-minded docu-

The White House at Washington is

MAY OPPOSE NAVY BILL
TO HIT ''ARM0R TRUST
Must Take Private Profit Out of
War, Is Latest Cry of Democrats.
Plan Of Mr.. Van Dyke.

The latest move on the part of the
House democrats who have been be-
laboring the "armor plate trust" is to
attempt to form combination that
will beat the naval appropriation bill
unless private profit is taken out of
war" This latter expression will be-
come war cry around the Capitol if
the anti-armor-trust clan thrives. Its
plan is to put through legislation for
government owned armor plants and
powder plants, and unless successful.
threatens to block the whole bill.
The entire situation and the plans for
a combine are outlined by Representa-
tive Van Dyke. new Minnesota demo-
crat, who has take ma bitter dislike to
the specter Of the armor trust Says
Representative Van Dyke:
Up to Democratic Party.
While it appears that the prepared
ness program will be carried as nom
partisan measure. still the odium at
tached to the raising of revenues for
putting into effect the proposition will
be attached to the democratic party
because the responsibility of passing
the money necesBary will necessarily
fall on the shoulders Of the party of
the administration.
Il believe that IL the government
undertakes to spend hundreds of mil
lions of dollars for the building of
battleships and the manufacture OF
munitions that we should receive a
dollars worth of-geods for every doll
lar expended. 1t has been stated, and
rightly SO. that the government can
manufacture armor plate and other
munitions of war at less cost than it
Is paying at the present time for the
identical articles"
Saving to Country, He Says.
Representative Van Dyke presents
figures which claim that $4,000, 900
would have been saved to the country
had armor plate been made by the
government since 1887.
IF We desire to determine as to the
exact size OF an army and navy neces-
sary for Defense" continued Represent
atfve Van Dyke, "the first step Is to
eliminate all agitation prompted by
selfish interests, and this can be done
only by taking the private profit out of
war
II believe there will be a sufficient
number of democrats who are willing to
refuse to vote for any plan for increas-
ing the navy and army to defeat the ad-
ministration preparedness" plans unless
provision is made for procuring govern
ment-owned ammunition plants, armor
plate factories and for government build
ing OF our battleships."
