Measure in His Pitts
burgh Speech.

NEW YORK, February 6.-Republl- :
can speakers assailed the pending ship
purchase bill, and democratic speakers
defended it, at discussion of the

sentative Rufus Hardy Of Texas and
William E. Humphrey of Washington
made the principal addresses. Others
who spoke were former Representa-
tives William II. Douglass and James
T. McCleary and Edward N. Breitung,
owner of the steamship Dacia.
Mr.. Hardy, a member of the congress
sional committee on merchant marine,
asserted that while the ship purchase
bill would help a little toward future
greatness on the seas. "the real remedy
can be obtained only by fearless re-
sistance to the influence of the coast

Of ShipyardS.
The production of shipbuilding material
in America, he said, is better and cheaper
than in any other country, and as soon as
the seamens bill, now in conference be-
tween the houses of Congress, becomes a
American operation will become a myth.
Bill Termed Vital Danger.
Mr.. Humphrey characterized the ship
purchase bill as vital danger confront
ing the American people, and asserted
that Congress should defeat it. He ex-
pressed doubt that profits could accrue
from the purchase of ships. and attacked
the provision relating to the prospective
sale of the vessels to private capital as
soon as they should become profitable.

that it was IAN experiment in govern
ment ownership and to talk of success
full government ownership was to talk

The senator declared the plan of buy
ing interned ships. If carried out. would
incur grave dangers of war" Because
of this, he said. he believed the friends
|of the bill are convinced they had
better not buy these ships. and you
may accept it as an established fact
that these ships will not be bought by
this government.
"The government could not build
ships" the senator said, "in less than
twelve months. and in that time the
war will be over"
He advocated the regulation of for
eign shipping rates or a discriminatory
tariff as means to build up merchant
marine.
