WASHINGTON. March S-An inter-
view given by Senator Lodge follow
ing the adjournment of Congress, in
which he felicitated the country upon
the defeat of the shipping bill. provok-
ed Secretary McAdOo TO reply today.
Mr.. McAdoO charges the Senator with
Inconsistency and with being in part
responsible through his activity
against the shipping measure for loss
OF employment to many shipyard
workers
Mr.. Lodge was quoted as saying
that il was the intention If the bill
had passed, 10 BUY German ships now
internod in American ports. He main
tanned that the refusal to put in a
clause prohibiting the purchase of bel
ligcrcnt-owned ships. which might
have passed it, demonstrated this fact
In reply the secretary says:
"Ihe shipping bill never did have
in view the purchase OF the interned
German ships or any specific ships.
The purpose of the bill was to give
the government authority to buy or
build any kinG Of suitable ships for
the purpose of American trade and
commerce. Had the bill passed, the
President would not have sanctioned
the purchase OF any ship that would
have caused complications with any
power. This assurance was given 10
every Senator who made inquiry. and
was conveyed to the Senators in the
chamber as coming from the Presi-
dent himself. Moreover as a conces
sion to the timid, the bill was amend
ed by the Democrats so as to provide
that the President should do nothing
TO disturb the conditions of neu-
trallty.' Even this was unnecessary,
because the country knows that the
President, more than any other citi-
zen of this country has stood strongly
for peace. and can be depended upon
TO use none of the powers OF his great
Office to involve the country in need
less war
Senator Lodge knows that thu
only reason the administration would
not agree to the Insertion of a clause
in the bin prohibiting the purchase
of belligerent-owned ships was that
this would have been a surrender oi
a vital American right, a right which
this nation has consistently ami in.
iieXibly uphelp since the foundation
OF the government To preserve this
vital right did not mean that Il mus
be asserted, hut it did mean that this
government felt kcenly IFS response
bilities as the chief representativ,
and trustee Of neItral rights.

with the enactment of such a law
(the La Toilette full crew law. which
the President has just signed) it will
be impossible for us TO compete with
the Japanese steamships employing
Oriental labor and subsidized by the

penses would be increased 20 per cent.

The Robert Dollar line announces
that IL will run, but under the Chin
ese flag, in order To avoid an increase
of expenses by 200 per cent As one
line after another is driven OF the

more complete, in the Secretary's
words, of the necessity for the crea-

The Hazel law became to all intents and purposes

for alien protection. These ships get
no aid to fly the flag OF their own
country. All they ask is permission
to make a living, not pecuniary as

WE'RE WITH YOU, UNCLE SAM.
BY Pat O'Connor. Seward, Alaska.

While all Europe is a shambles
And the whole world is at war,
And half the land the sun shines on
Is drcnchcd in human gore,
When every nation counts the men
II knows are tried and true,
We send this message TO you, Sam
Alaska stands with you!'
You've never treated us quite right;
You've grabbed away our coal
And reserved all our lfirewood,
And what we used we've stole;
You soaked us on our cable tolls,
But We don't give a damn
Even at twenty-eight cents per word
We're with you, Uncle Saml
We're quite unused 10 luXuries.
We've always played alone;
When we asked for help TO build our
trails
You handed us stone;
You four-hushed us on the railroad,
But we don't give damn
If they monkey with the Eagle,
We're with you, Uncle Saml
You gave us leave 10 make some laws,
Then tied our hands behind:
This gift to us was just the same
AS pictures to the blind.
Your laws all have some joker
Made to catch some sourdough,
And it's hard TO beat your game. Sam,
When It's framed up down below.
We've always been the dumping
ground
For your political misfits.
But. Sam. il you're in trouble,
We're willing to cry quits.
We've never had an even break,
But we don't give a damn
If the Lion growls, remember this
We're with you, Uncle Saml
We're used to meeting troubles.
And if you put us to the test,
You'll find Alaska loves you, Sam,
Far better than the rest
But Sam, when this is over,
As the morning follows night,
Pray give us some attention
And get some 9atters right.
We need some decent cable rates,
We need some decent mails.
We need some decent coast lights,
We need some decent trails.
You've given these to all the rest,
But we don't give damn
If it's grown men you're needing,
We're with you. Uncle sam!
