In connection with the symposium
that was held on Senator Galllnger's
elghtv-erst birthday there was a heart
felt tribute from Senator Mark Smith
Of Arizona. He took up a phase Of
Gallinger's public service which has
made a deep impression throughout
the entire West. The Arizona senator
pointed out how Gallinger had always
been a friend Of the West, had worked
for the admission of territories as new
states, and had always sought to find
out what the Western people wanted
and had done everything he could to
help them. Speaking for the people
of several Western states, Smith said:
st desire to express here publicly the
thanks of the people Of the West for
the warm, broad-mlnded, c~onslderate
manner in which he has constantly
treated the struggling populations Of
the West"

Of the activities Of German spies
Senator 0verman of North Carolina,
who has at all times been very anx-
lous to have rel espionage laws en-
acted. told the senate not long ago
that he at one time asserted that there
were 100000 German spies in this
country. He stated that he is now
prepared to say, and did assert, that
there we're 100000 active German
spies working against the interests OF
the United States and In the interests
Of Germany. This rather startled the
United States senate, and 1t has set
quite a lot Of people thinking. The
probabilities are that the activities OF
the spies will result in much more
drastic Legislation IN order to secure
convictions, and also TO make the pen
alties much more severe 20 as to dis
courage those who are trying to be-
tray the United States government. or
at least secure the longtime impris-

Any legislator who has a pet appro-

state that the appropriation win In

the country. In fact. many Of the
fearful pleas that r put forward
hint that without this $4,000 for ir-
rieation or that 100000 FOR seed.
winning the war Is impossible. A sen
ator was recently urging a larger APP
p~ropriation FOR some irrigation project
on the ground that II would enable the
farmers In that section to increase
their acreage and so produce more
food. He vas asked by a senator from
a nelghboring state II II would not be
better for the farmer. instead Of In
creasIng his acreage. to put his strong
est efforts into increasing the yield
per acre, since II this were done the
same result would be accomplished,
the farmer would save the cost OF en-
fra labor to work an increased acreage.
and the government would save the
half.mllHon dollar appropriation. The
senator desiring the appropriation
shied az the Inquiry. However, It Is
/. nroblem which the United States
wonld do well to solve.

there remains the job OF capturing or
wiping out the German control of the

that our sh.pyards will be kept 60
ing to their capacity and they must
not let up. The inefficient plants
which have been permitted to oper-
ate because Of the emergency need
of ships will. as a matter of business
expediency. drop out when the en-
Urgency is removed.
Efficient yards will be encouraged.
and supported, because We can de-
pend upon them to carry out their
promises and produce ships econom-
ically. The work efficient yards can
not do will fail to other plants. We
will look to the west coast to con-
tinue the pace it has maintained and
to the yards of The East and South
anc of the Great Lakes region to in
crease their output.
IL every competent shipworker,
every technical expert and every
trained executive in the yards owes
it to the nation to remain at his post
where his services will count most
until the program Is complete. There
is no ground for uneasiness OF either
labor or capital now efficiently en-
ployed in producing ships. For many
years to come ships, their construc-
tior and operation, are to be OF alb
sorbing national interes:. Mr.. Schwab
in his statement said: Until peace Is
concluded and until all Of our boys
have returned to America it is vital
that we keep on building ships with
every ounce Of our strength and en-
ergy. After that we can consider the
future. But to permit enthusiasm to
lag now might be fatal 10 our great
cause. Shipbuiiding from the very
start of the war has been the essen
tial work that would make victory
possible. That is as true today as 1t
was a year ago and win continue to
be so until the last battle is fought

Criminal prosecutions of three

the ground that they transacted

they were financially interested.
These officers are Lieut.. Col. J. G.

mendations with respec. to adninistrd-
under the direction Of Mr.. Ryan ana
under the direction of Mr.. Rryan AMI
Mr.. Potter there has been improvement

{. Potter, to waom Mr.. Hughes referred.

ton One of the most regrettabie in"i-
dents of the delay in production. says
The report. is that on account of Ihe
scarcity Of training planes hundreds CT
cadets were held at concentration cam IS

The report Is supplemented by 11.G'3
pages of testimony taken from go VIII
nesses. NJ Hughes In his report re-
ferred 10 the retention by Henry Ford
of man Of pronounced pro-German u:-
terances as superin tendent Of the draft
ing department, and added that there
was ''laxity at the Ford plant with ,e-
spect to those Of German sympa,h,es
which is not all compat ible with the in
terests Of the government" Among The
principal charges which Mr.. Hughes le-
port declared substantiated in part we're
that there was delay IN getting model
frames from the Allies. and in preparing
specifications for their reproduction
that plans were frequently changed both
on airplane types and on the Liberty
motors: that some manufacturers v ell
qualified for production failed to receive
contracts, while others poorly prepa red
were given orders: that many plants
engaged in airplane manufacture lacked
knowledge and experience; and that in
pushing ior speed in production confu.
son and waste occurred in plants.
As for actual results the report states
that UP to Oct. II es7i airplane. were
built, o. which 51S7 were for elemeu.a-
~ training. :ls7 were for advanced
training. and 1850 were observation and
bombing service. In the same time e.
