ment in the world can show. The de-
partment Of agriculture Is undoubted-

world. The banking legislation
OF the last two or three years has
given the farmers access to the great

Both by direct purchase Of nitrates
and by the establishment Of plants.
to produce nitrates the government is
doing its utmost to assist in the prob

or agriculture and other agencies are

adequate supply Of sound seed. The
department has $2,5O0,0O available
Tor this purpose now and has asked
the congress for $6,OO0,OO more.
The labor problem is one OF great
difficulty and some of the best
agencies OF the nation are addressing
themselves TO the task OF solving it
so far as 1t is possible to solve it "*'
Let me say that the stimulation

Washington, Jan. 31-New subma-
rine fighters Of a powerful type are
about to be turned out i'm the United
States in large numbers After testi-
flying today before the house naval
committee on the naval appropriation
bill Secretary Daniels authorized the
statement that contracts for 'seyeral
scores OF the new craft have been
placed with the Ford Motor Company
of Detroit. He described them as half
way between a destroyer and subma-
rine chaser. 200 feet long and euuip-
ped with latest discoveries for com
batting submarines.
All parts Of ships except the en-
gines are TO be fabricated in Detroit
and the parts shipped to seaboard
where they will be assembled. Changes
in the Ford plant to permit the han.
ding Of the work have progressed SC
swiftly, Mr.. Daniels said, that the de-
liveries during the coming summe,
are assured.
The new vessels are expected to
prove far superior to the chasers now
in use. They will have steam power
with n greater radius Of action, will
be more seaworthy and will be able
to carry heavier armament. 1t hal
developed that the latest German sub.
marines are equipped with guns
which outrange those Of small chas

SPAIN CAUSING TROUBLE.
INTERFERING WITH SHIPMENTS
OF GOODS TO FRANCE.
Some Ships i'm American Ports Dctain-
cd-Unitcd States and Cobelligcr-
ents Can Place Stor on Order ON
Food Shipments.

Washington, Jan. 31.-Qulck retail
iatory measures were forecast here
tonight as I'D the answer of the Unit
ed States and the allies to Spain's in
terference .th the shipment of goods
across her frontier to France In fact
certain Spanish ships now in Ameri-
can ports ready to sail are being held
up pending a clearing of the situation,
although the war trade board in a
formal statement tonight denied that
vessels under the Spanish flag gen.
orally were being kept in port
The American government is par
ticularly concerned in the situation
because of orders placed in Spain by
General Pershing for supplies for the
American army 1t holds, too, the
chief weapon to force a lifting Of an
embargo piaceo by Spain, since Spain
draws heavily on the United States for
foodstuffs
The war trade board, which issues
export licenses and licenses for bunk
er coal, in it's statement said:
1T is not correct that Spanish ships
are being generally held up by means
OF refusing bunkers or otherwise. 1t
is expected further clearances will
be granted. Each case is dealt with
on it's own facts, and in a few cases
bunker licenses have been withheld"
No comment other than this state
ment was 10 be had officially at the
war trade board Offices concerning
the Spanish situation. Allied officials
have been given no end Of perlexity
by Spain. Although not so situated
geographically as to ship supplies
readily into Germany, charges have
been made that goods from Spanish
Morocco have gone through the Swiss
port of entry in France into Switzer-
land and thence into Germany.
Charges also have been made that
the German spy system has used wire
less equipment in Spain to communi-
cate with The central powers.
A considerable element in the Span
ish government, it is well known, il
Il German in its leanings and officials
in Washington express no hesitation
in intimating that this element is in
large measure responsible for the
present trouble. The official reason
given for the blocking Of General Per-
shings order is said to be that the
Spanish railroad system has broken
down and that it is Impossible to ham
die goods destined for France.
Through their control of bunker
coal the allies are in position to stop
not only the shipment of goods to
Spain from the allied countries. but
from neutrals as well.
Adjustment of foreign exchange
rates with Spain to remove the pre-
MUM which American business men
are paying now in commercial trans
actions with that country is another
problem waiting to be solved.
treasury department officials have
been worried lately by the failure Sof
the Spanish exchange rate to d.
crease in spite of the fact that the
balance of trade amounts to $l60,o20.-

profits tax alone in the bill would cut
revenue considerably because many
firms while making large profits are
not making as much now as before
the war.
That the excess profits tax will
bring in S2,400, 100000 instead OF
81, 700, 100000 originally estimated,
was another development at commit
tee hearings today.
The lower estimate was made on
the basis of 1916 profits on the sup
position that 1918 profits would be
nearer 1916 than 1917.
Facts in the hands Of the commit
tee show that the 1918 profits will be
as high If not higher than those OF
a year ago.
