Speaker Champ Clark of the house of

here today at the opening Of the an

''The one problem resulting from
the war with which the Southern
Commercial Congress ls most con-
cerned is what arrangement will be
made touching tho freedom OF the
seas" said the, speaker. When but
handful, FOR the freedom of the seas,
we ought the most powerful nation on
earth. Last year and this we fought
the Central Powers for the freedom
of the seas, for after all Is said and
done, that is the chief reason why we
participated in the war
Can Depend On Wilson.
I'VE car depend on President Will
son to secure freedom of the seas at
"the congress of Versailles. The prin-
@.pa! question with which this COM
merciaI congress should wrestle is
how to increase our foreign trade,
for upon that rests in largest measure
the future prosperity of this republic.
Merchant Marine Must Stay.
Our merchant marines, built up
during the war should be maintained
forever. Mr.. Clark declared and add
ed that the only way to do it is to
modernize our navigation laws, make
our seamen the most efficient and
above all things increase our foreign
trade"
1--WE have no time to lose in the
preparation for the trade war which
comes simultaneously with peace"
warned Speaker Clark. Great Brit
ain and France have been busily and
scientifically preparing for it even
within the sound of the roar Of the
great guns
