It was learned today also that the
army has been aiding the Emergency
Fleet Corporation In finding labor.
The corporation was unable to obtain
1000 men, skilled and unskilled, for
work in the shipyards. The army
found that II had at Camp Greene, n.
C.. several thousand men rejected for
overseas service on account Of some
physical defect. Among these were
found the 200 the fleet corporation
needed and they are now at work n
the shipyards. Their pay. however,

workers at the yards. They are mere

they have recovered from their dis

The number OF rejected men Is
quite large. running well into thou

some OF these men turned over to
them by the army.
Some rather serious mistakes were
made. in the way OF taking into the
military service men who were more
valuable in the industries, but the
remedy is being supplied rapidly now.

opinions Mr.. Sherley expressed on
the shipping program is that hulls
may be built much faster than the
machinery can be supplied for them.

Senator Borah's resolution against
secret diplomacy" calling for the
discussion Of all treaties in open ses-
sion OF the Senate, was voted down,
so to -. The most remarkable de-
velopment OF the day was a letter
from the President to Secretary
Lansing, which, as read by Senator
Hitchcock, must have undeceived
Senator Bofah completely. 1t was, in
fact, in the nature Of q shock.
Throughout the debate, Senator Borah
has taken a strong stand in support
Of the Presidents views on conduct
ing public business publicly, and has
quoted for the inspiration Of the
Senate the passage in which the
President denounced secret diplom-
acy." In his letter to Mr.. Lansing,
the President asked HIM to "formu-
late q careful and conclusive memo
randum" for the use Of the Senate

Mr.. Borah prescribed. And GER
tainIy," continued the President,
when I pronounced for open dipIom-
acy. I meant not that there should
be no private discussion Of delicate
matters" The President explained
further that he meant there should
be no secret agreements OF any kind"
etc.-using language OF an eloquent
character, from which II seems that
Senator Borah was inspired with the
belief that the President fully agreed
with him and hence was entirely
right
The Vice President laid before the
Senate two letters from Director Gen
eral McAdoo in response to Senate
requests for information. In one he
said he would forward data on profit
eerinE as soon as it could be care
fully compiled from the recordA In
the other, IN relation to contracts
made with railroads and railroad sys-
TENS, he said no contracts have been
made so far. though consultations
were being held with railroad repre-
sentatiYes, by his representatives,
including members OF the Inter
state Commerce Commission He
expressed a doubt whether there
would be sufficient time under the
law, setting July l. 1918, as the limit
for deciding what systems or roads
would not be needed. Senator Smith
OF South Carolina accordingly intro
dueed a bill extending the time limit
to January l. 1919.

1T was being discovered, he was glad
TO see. that the whole country is not
confined to the seaboard. When other
States had men OF genius and when
they were sacrificing their sons for
victory. Mr.. Madden was convinced
they have a right to expect that they
will be allowed to participate" In
the activities necessary for. the sue
cessful conduct Of the war. But are
contracts in Chicago to go only to
men who have sons sacrificed?
The most important question be-
fore Congress yesterday developed
before the House Ways and Means
Committee. 1t is OF whether indi-
viduals are made for corporations or
corporations for individuals. Mr..
Robert B. Reed. Of New York. devel-
oped it from the corporation stand
point in his deposition on Income
and Excess Profits" made as attorney
for the Investment Bankers Asso-
citation" On behalf OF manufactur-
ing and of business in general. Mr..
A F. Thomas had explained to the
committee on Monday that when
business is taxed. 1t is business" to
transfer the taxes to somebody else.
that business could go on 50 long as
IL could do this, and that when it
could not, it must stop. Without
touching on this theory. Mr.. Reed
explained to the committee that the
tax on the incomes OF corporations
should be considerably adjusted. He
disagreed with what he understood
as Mr.. Gamers views. He thought
it unsound as to corporations to md
out how much they could get along
on and take the rest. though as ap-
piled to individuals, he thought the
principle absolutely sound" When
individuals appear as stockholders OF
corporations. it would seem that he
wished the Government. taxing all
corporations as lightly as possible.
to wait until their corporation has
paid them their dividends-then tax
ing them as 1t would other indlvidu-
ais, you should get every last dollar
you can out OF them" he said

Approving the Presidents reference
to prohteers. Mr.. Reed divided them
into two classes. In the FIRST class
he put those engaged in going bust
ness" who are using the war and the
situation it creates to take all they
can. In the second class he puts con-
tractors who are making huge
profits out of war contracts." He
considered each OF these contracts az
a venture. distinct from going bust
ness" After the capital secured for
it had been repaid. he thought the
Government should take all it could
out Of the rest In conclusion. Chair
man Kitchin expressed regret that
while the witness had given valuable
suggestions for getting as much a
possible out OF others. he had out
lined no plan which would apply to
the peculiar case Of the Investment
bankers" he represented. Mr.. Kitchin
thought 1t remarkable that experts
show EXPERIENCES chiefly In showing
how TO TAX some one else.

complete control Of a political ''si;Ca

and compel others to do as we please;
when we have the absolute drop,
so that we can make 1t a crime even
to protest against what we do; still,
we will have to answer for every
thing done somehow, somewhere, and
at some time. In that case there is
no such thing possible in politics as
responsibility.

In the Senate yesterday, though he
did not use this language in his
argument, Senator Johnson an
nounced his conclusion that there is
"a Day coming when what is being
nov done, will have to be answered
for" When that Day does come, he
said that the people will make their
stand "in spite Of a cowed press and
a cowed Congress" Just before max
ing this remarkable announcement,
Senator Johnson had been referring
to Hon. William Gibbs McAdoo in
several OF his various capacities, but
more especially in his capacity as
director general OF railroads, with
what Senator Johnson called peculiar
autocratic powers" illustrated by or
dering up railroad rates. According
to Senator Johnson's California ad-
vices. the new rates were demonstrat-
ing a range of between IS and 400 per
per cent in that vicinity.

nous agreement to vote today, not

The advantages Of New Orleans as a
port were emphasized In the opening
of canning factory for the distribu-
ton of real green-sea turtles. With the
exception of small factory at Key
West, 1t will be the only establishment
of Its kind in America. The factory has
been situated at Miami, Fla, but the
excessive freight rates and lack of
steamer service to Central American
ports led to its removal to Bay st.
Louis. It will handle nothing but green
sea turtles caught In Central American
waters, and these will be put up in
four different forms-clear green turtle
soup, thick green turtle soup. turtle
beef In Creole style, and "callipee."
which is the meat Of the turtle taken
from the breast, back and flippers. The
factory will turn out about $4,000 cans
day. or a total of 100000 pounds a
year, including all products. There is
also q by-product called turtle oil,
used medicinally.-Fishing Gazette.
