Spains interference with the ship

ships now in American ports ready

a clearing OF the situation. although
the war trade board in formal

The American government is par
ticularly concerned in the situation
because Of large orders placed in
Spain by General Pershing for sup
plies for the American army. 1t holds.
too, the chief weapon to force a
lifting of an embargo placed by

Secretary McAdoo went to the
capitol to discuss many phases of
the war financial situation, meeting
Democratic Leader Martin OF the
senate, Senator Simmons and Chair
man Owen of the senate banking and

The secretary advised Senator Sim

fore March or Ap-il to present any

not be known before then how much
of the war appropriations congress
has authorized will be expended.

Simmons said 1t probably will
deal with three principal subjects
