House Committee Report
Favors Measure Backed
by Administration
GIVES BOARD POWER
TO TAKE ANY VESSEL
Even Those Building Un-
der Foreign Contract May
Be Communicated
Prom The Tribune Bureau

Washington. Feb. 22.-The right TO 60
into American shipyards and com
mandeer everything under construc-
ton. even if it should be under con
tract for foreign purchasers, IS grant
ed the new Federal Shipping Board by
= bill favorably reported by the House
Committee on Merchant Marine to-day.
The Administration is strongly In favor
of this legislation, which has been
urged by members Of the new board
before both the Senate and House COM
mittees. ... ,.
"By far the most important pro-
visions of the BILL" declared Chairman
Alexander in his report to the house,
"are those contained IN the provision
for taking over foreign contracts. IL Is
estimated that more than 6fo,VOO TONS
gross of vessels are being built IN our
shipyards for aliens, for the most part
citizens Of Norway and other Scahol-
navian countries.
EVERY week vessels are launched
from our shipyards for foreign account:
In view OF our lamentable shortage OF
tonnage under the American flag, 70
cave our commerce in the domestic ana
overseas trade, and at time When we
NAV be compelled to take steps to en-
force our rights as neutral nation on
the high seas, il is of the utmost I'M
portance that Congress should take
steps TO hold these vessels now pelng
constructed under our flag. -.
"This committee fully realized the dr.
IL l.
time have due regard TO our shlpbulid..
ing industries, and the interests OF
aliens who are coming TO us for SHIPS.
Hence the committee has endeavored 70
draw the amendment so that IT will
meet a condition Of our shipbuilders
and impose the least possible burden
on their foreign customers.
"Representatives of both those inter
ests have held frequent conferences
with the Shipping Board. and they have
received the most careful consideration
by the committee, with the result that
the proposed amendment is understood
by the committee TO give reasonable
satisfaction to both interests, and at
the same time take care Of situation
that may become acute any day-a stu
alton that the Congress should take
necessary steps to meet before the end
of the session.
"The provisions of the bill are in
tended TO apply during any war or ma
tional emergency now or hereafter
proclaimed by the President, and not
otherwise.
"There may be circumstances under
which II may be desirable for the board
to have this power in the event Of war
or national emergency, and by limiting
the exercise Of that power TO those
circumstances, where the President
gives his express consent and approval,
there will be a safeguard against its
unwise exercise. We assume that the
President will withhold his consent in
cases that might involve our country
in serious international complications.

York. just before the final passage of
the measure tonight The bill carries
about $25O,OOO,OoO and was adopted
without a record vote.
Mr.. Caldwell himself admitted, when
questioned by Representative Heating,
Of Colorado, that he did not think war
was imminent. Mr.. Heating asked if
any one outside of newspaper Offices
thought So Apparently no one Of the
nearly 800 members in the House at
the time thought there was any signlil-
canoe in the recent break in diplomatic
relations between this country and
Germany.
The frank admissions recently made
bv Chairman Dent Of the Military
Committee as TO the utter inability OF
the regular army to recruit even as
many men as were authorized by the
Hay bill, thus showing the defenceless-
ness of the United States so far as
the present army establishment is con-
cerned, did not deter him from making
q point of order against the universal
training amendment, with the result
that discussion was cut off and the
proposal stricken from the bill.
1--WE ought to DO something to pre-
pare this country to defend its rights"
MIR. Caldwell declared in the few min.
utes allowed him before the point Of
order was enforced. "In the minds Of
many persons in this country, and in
the opinion of the majority Of the edi-
tors Of the country, war is imminent,
and it is obvious that we are unpre-
pared for it."
"Does the gentleman think that any
one in this broad land outside Of news
paper Offices thinks that war is imml-
nent ?" inquired Representative Keat-
/ ing. ..
II will say that am not myself OF
! the opinion that we are on the brink
{ Of war" said Mr.. Caldwell, "but a
/ great many persons are of that opin-
/ ion, and think We should do something
/ toward preparing the country"
! A few minutes later Mr.. Caldwell
| said the War College had prepared q
universal military training measure
and expected it to pass Congress at
this session.

N. Y. SUFFRAGISTS
WIN WAR ISSUE
Congressional Union De-
cides for Country First"
Despite National Head

Suffrage first or Our country
frst'-that is the question which has
split the New York branch OF the Con-
gressional Union for Woman Suffrage.
Two days after the break with Ger
many and the day after the woman
Suffrage Party voted TO offer its ser
vices TO the government in case OF war
q similar resolution was passed Oy
the executive committee OF the Ne"
York Congressional Union.
Miss Alice Carpenter is chairman OF
the New York branch, and 1t dldn
seem to worry her a bit that her WON
en- and war" resolution was directly
opposed TO the suffrage policy of MISS
Alice Paul, national chairman OF the
Union.
Miss Carpenter is the only person
on record who has dared defy Miss
Paul to the extent of offering resolu-
tions of which she did not approve, and
the suffrage world waited, open
mouthed, for the outcome. Ii came on
Tuesday.
Miss Carpenter was victorious. BY
a vote of 20 TO Miss Carpenter
resolution was permitted TO stand, al
though some of the most powerful OF
Miss Paul's adherents used all their
strength to crush it. Mrs. John
Rogers, ir., who wrote the hell
foolery" letter directed at Miss Car
penter's resolution and declaring II
must be rescinded, was at the meeting.
So was Miss Doris Stevens, Miss PauIs
personal representative from wash
inrton, but the New York women won.
The policy of the national board IN
Washington has been that even in the
war crisis suffrage must come hrst IN
the minds Of the women. They have
continued their pickets in front Of the
White House, and they have gone on
with their preparation for national
convention and demonstration at the
time of the Inauguration. To both OF
these acts many women are opposed,
and many. among them Mrs. Harriet
Stanton Blatch and Mrs. Ii. o. Have
never. have withdrawn from the ma
tional board.

Cheers for Preparedness
Mingle with Crisp

Four thousand Junior Patriots crowd
ed into the Hippodrome yesterday

A line of young citizens-all eager
10 serve America marched up the long
aisles. came to a halt in the centre of
the stage, saluted their flag and passed
on to give way to others. The fervor
of the old patriots Washington and
Lincoln and others-was in the shrill
young chorus as they sang the national
anthem,
Children of the Sums and children
of wealth rubbed elbows as they salut-
ed the flag. The boys of the Negro
Emergency and the debutantes OF Firth

Emergency Service Corps, were equally
ready for active service in wartime.

students, Brooklyn middies, Big Broth

his address.
"If anybody tells US that there is no

what he is speaking. If any man

ideals were the chief themes of Mr..
Malone's speech, and he was inter-
rupted constantly by the applause OF
the Junior Patriots.
Washington was for peace, but he
believed that all Of US should be pre-
pared to serve our country" he de-
clared. "The time has come for
solemn rededication TO his principles
