WASHINGTON, May 31.-Secretary
McAdoo has called upon Representative

floor leader in the House to retract his
assertion in q recent speech that, q
publishers lobby workirs. for repeal of
The zone system of increased postage
rates influenced the Administration to
insist upon revenue legislation at this

Mr.. Kitchn told the House in the
speech he did not believe Secretary
McAdoo thought about the newspapers
and magazines one way or the other
but believed lobby had made itself
felt with some in whose Judgment the
Secretary had great faith.
From White sulphur Springs, ". Va,
where he is recuperaung from an ILL
ness, Mr.. McAdoo wrote in letter
made public tonight:

one near me or In whose judgment

eeptional loyalty industry and patri-
otism in trying to solve the colossal
problems of the Treasury successfully
and in the interest of the whole coun
try that could not respect myself if
permitted them to suffer from any
implications whatever of so unjust a
character.

The Secretary added that he hac
hoped revenue legislation at this ses-
sior would not be necessary, but that
with actual expenditures exceeding

100000 T Tons of Ships

WASHINGTON, May 31.-More than

the United States and the Allies by
Sweden under the terms of the com.
mercial agreement signed at Stockh olr

fed to-day.
News of the signing of the agree
ment reached here first in news dis
patches giving no details. Dispatches
from Sweden recently have said re-
duction in the bread ration soon would
become necessary, which would place
the country in real distress. The State
stores of grain, it was SAID, would last
only until August 8. The country needs
$1,000 tons of grain to get along until
the new harvest.
The full terms of the agreement have
not been made public, but the Amer
lean government, in return for the
ships, will give liberal treatment to
Sweden in supplying food rations, raw
materials and manufactured products
including so-called lesser essentials.

". S. in May Built
$4,000 0 Tons of
Ships, Says Schwab
Equivalent of Two the Size
of Agawam Each Day, He
Tells Steel Men

Charles M. Schwab last night told
LOO members of the American Iron
and Steel Institute, at their fourteenth
annual dinner at the Waldorf-As
that the United States had produced
and placed ready for service 100000
tons deadweight of ships in May. This
he said, was the equivalent of two ships
the size of tho Agawam, which was
launched Thursday. every day in the
month.
The leaders of the steel industry
yelled with unbrid)ed enthusiasm when
Mr.. Schwab for the first time gave pre-
cise figures of accomplishments since
he became director of shipbulding.
they cheercd the most popular man
in the steel fraternity" when Ebert H.
Gary, chairman of the institute, intro
duced Mr.. Schwab as "a man who is
competent and man who is brilliant,
one OF the ablest in our midst and a
man who has been selected because of
his efficiency"
After mathematically picturing what
had been done in the month of May Mr..
Schwab said: II am sure that the
month of May is going to be the least
producing month until our programme
is reailzed. with the same spirit as we
have seen in the month which ends to-
night this government will within a
reasonable amount of time have in
ships that which it requires. And the
amount and number of ships required
is stupendous.
Recently we have contracted for
new plants for building ships aggregat-
ing $3.50, 100000, and have increased the
total producing capacity by 100000
tons year. have been informed that
from the lake district yards alone the
production of ships will reach 100000
tons a year.
"1n January we had $4,000 workers in
the shipyards. To-day we have 100000.
