NEW SHIPPING BILL
 SOON IS TO BE
 FILED IN CONGRESS

NEW YORK. Jan. l5.-The New York Herald says today that the ad. ministrat.on's new shipping bill will be introduced in Congress soon and will be the center of more controversy than any other measure this winter. except the national defense program. The final draft of tho blll is not com. pleted, but the changes will be of minor importance, with the possible exception of the ownership by the government of stocks in corporations which lease new ships rom tho gov ernment. The underlying idea of the bill is to borrow money at percent and build ships nnd lease them. or aciais have been informed that prl- yate interests would be willing to lease at an annual rental of percent of the value of the ships, lessors pay. ing the charges for repairs and in- surance. This would leave the gov ernment 8 profit of 5 percent a year. Estimating tho life of q null at 25 years the government would get its money back in twenty years and have in addition a hull of more or less value.

 MT. Ford's plan deserves unQuali- fled praise and admiration. be. lieve all efforts, however fanatic. which spread peace sentiment, should be encouraged. Ford started upon the right principle.

BUNGLED
 DECLARES DALTON

"Jack" Dalton. famous Alaska path finder" passed through Juneau on the Northwestern. bound for Cordoya He expects to visit Seward. and perhaps Anchorage before returning. His son. Jack Dalton, Jr. is employed by the Alaska Railroad Engineering commis- sion at Anchorage.
 Mr. Dalton believes that the Alaska Railroad Engineering commission has bungled the work on the railroad. He said last night: "The commission has spent two and one-half million dollars. and they have only six miles of track laid. Experience has taught railroad men that in countries where transpor- tation ,s difficult a mile of railroad should be built over tho rockiest kind of a right-of-way for S26.OOO"
 Mr. Dalton declares that Thomas Riggs. Jry whom he characterizes as the "ablest man on the commission. D has been too much in the background. "They have put Riggs on the survey end in the interior: they haven't given h'm a chance, and he is in high stand ing in Alaska. as an engineer"

PREPAREDNESS IS ABSORBING THEME
 L. T. ERWIN SAYS

Preparedness Is the absorbing theme of every Congressman in Wash. Ington." said United States Marshal r.. T. Erwin yesterday. He has been visiting in the city and left on the Northwestern for Cordova enroute to Fairbanks.
 While l was in Washington only a short time" continued Mr. Erwin ",he whole talk surrounded the Pres ident's plan for national defense There will be a fight and a bitter one on this issue. The result. one can hardly predict. although I believe the plans will go through, to what extent, [ cannot say. The fight started im- mediately Congress assembled. It Is not a partisan fight. as We expected, but both democrats and republicans have their decided views absolutely disregarding their political affilia- tions
 'It Is also surprising the attitude many of the congressman have taken on the issue. For instance. Senator Jones Of the State of Washington. is opposed to the defense plan. and he comes from a state where the people have been urging Qualifications for the.r own safety. Senator Jones has recieved scores Of letters from Wash ington state citizens protesting against preparedness as outlined.
 "The alignment throughout is most peculiar and it has every member of congress wondering just what side his colleague is going to take. The preparedness proposition is foremost and that is one reason why l believe the people of Alaska will be disap- pointed in many of the appropriations asked. Take for instance Secretary Lanes request for a certain sum for the Alaska Railroad Commission An appropriation will be made. but hor- estly believe the people will be dis appointed In the amount"

 REPRISALS

BERLIN, Dec. 15.-eermany Is be- ileyed to be planning to violate all rules of submarine warfare as laid down by the United States. It was In- dieated today when the German gov ernment's reply to the British govern ment In the saralons case was made public.
 In It's reply published today, the German government takes the ground that Great Britain no longer desires to observe the requirements of inter national law In regard to submarines, as Interpreted by the State Depart ment of the United States, and breaks off negotiations on this subject.
 Germany charged several months ago that the British ship Baralong ran down a German submarine, while the British ship flew the United States colors. The Germans alleged further that the marines from the submarine were shot to death as they were trying to save their lives.
 Great Britain's reply, the German government says. was an expression of willingness to have the question de- cided by U. S. naval officers.
 Newspapers In Berlin contain veil cd hints that stern reprisals will be undertaken.
