BRITISH AMBASSADOR
CALLED "IMPERTINENT"
Senator Knox Comes to Defense
of Sir Cecil Spring-Rice
Against King, of Utah
By a StdG Correspondent


Because Senator King, Of Utah. branded
as "impertnent" the action of Sir Cecil
Spring Rice, British Ambassador to the
United States. in writing letter advocating
a deeper channel in the harbor at Portland,
Maine. Senator Knox, of Pennsylvania,
called upon the western Senator to with
draw his statement. Senator King did not
do so.
at seems an impertinence on the part OF
the British Ambassador to intrude in this
matter. even though he does represent one
Of our Allies" said Senator King.
'"rhe Senator from Utah." said Senator
Knox, used the word without justification,
| think | suggest that he withdraw it."
Senator Hale. of Maine, explained that
the British Ambassador wrote the letter
recommending "A deeper channel in Portland
harbor at his suggestion. He said that the
United States army engineers had declined
to put the Portland harbor improvement in
the war emergency class unless England
said the deeper channel was necessary for
her shipping
Senator Hale said he submitted his letter
to the British Ambassador to the Ameri.
can State Department before sending it,,
and that 1t was approved.
Then the letter from the British Am
bassador was invited?" asked Senator
Knox,
Yes" replied Senator Hale.
The letter from the British Ambassador
said that if the harbor were deepened 1t
would be used extensively to accommodate
Canadian shipping
Senator King argued that. If the British
Ambassador wants improvements made in
our harbors, he should make his recommen-
dations through our State Department.

PLANS BIG CHANGE
IN DEFENSE COUNCH
President to Announce ReorL
ganization That May Not \
Please Labor
GoMPERS MAY PROTEST.
Personnel of Committees to Be
Revised and Some Will
Be Dropped
WASHINGTON. July 20.


Complete reorganization Of the commit-
tees of the Council of National Defense will
be announced by President Wilson in the
near future possibly today. This reorgan-
tzation will result In revolutionary Changes
In those subdivisions which have much to
do with the successful conduct Of the war.
Already. however. It is apparent that
organized labor will not be entirely salts
fed with the proposed changes While Sam
uel Gompers, head Of the American Feder-
alton OF Labor. and men closely associated
with him In the labor movement have re.
quested that labor be fully recognized on
every committee. the best information now
available is that part Of these demands will
not be met. II they are not, there will be
little surprise should Mr.. Gompers father
a movement In his organization to insist
on further representation for labor under
threat that otherwise labor cannot be ex-
pected to give its best efforts TO the work
of the council.
In this connection a high official source
today authorized the following statement:
Generally speaking, the legitimate de-
mands Of labor for representation on the
committees of the Council OF National De-
fense will be met in the reorganization Of
the council"
That was as far as any official would 60
pending the Presidents announcement, II
was explained that the President and Cab
met fully realized that the existing COM
mittee system is extremely cumbersome
Each committee has many more members
than are needed. As n result there has
been bitter criticism Of their work and cer-
tain Senators and Representatives have al
legged that members of these committees
were more interested in obtaining Govern-
ment contracts than they were in seeing
that war preparations were pushed or that
excess profits were taken out Of Govern
ment contracts
Under the proposed reorganization, all
this will be changed. The various COM
mittees will be pruned so that most of them
will have only a few members. Many COM
mittees will be entirely abolished. The en-
tire work Of the advisory committees will be
readjusted so that men will not be in the
position of seeming to have made pur-
chases from themselves or from corpora
| tions in which they are interested
The revised plans, together with recon-
| mendations from members of the council
| itself, now are before the President and Will
be put into effect as soon as he 20. k.'s'
| them.
