in carrying the American flag and
American commodities into the world
trade.
This, at least, was the majority view
OF the conference between representa-
tives OF national organizations OF ship
ping, industrial, agricultural and imam
clal interests and members of the ship
ping board and the House ana senate
marine and commerce committees, be-
gun here yesterday TO discuss ways and
means Of maintaining and developing
the American fleet.

on the future control and operation OF
the American ships. II was called by
Edward n. HUXLEY. chairman Of the
shipping board. to assemble the diverse
views on the subject.
And while these diverse views were
freely aired, the speakers with the eX-
ceptien OF those representing certain
farmers organizations and the Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor, declared them
selves unequNocslly against govern
msnt ownership and In favor OF pri-
vate control and operation In some
form or other.
B. c. Marsh, representing the Far
mers' National Council. urged complete
government control and operation OF
the American fleets, the property OF
the people Of the United States. built
by the peoples money during the war,
while James O'Connell, speaking for the
American Federation OF Labor. said that
ne could not put the federation on rec
ord for or against government owner

Chairman Hurley did not touch upon
the question OF how the government
should dispose OF the ships, but he did
suggest three great national needs as
follows: ifT
Establishment and maintenance Of an
American ocean mail service capable
Of covering the world.
q 4 centrally controlled wireless tele-
graph service, for use in promoting
the safety Of life and property at sea,
and for giving TO American shipping

Editorial Opinion
DIsARMED. NOT ENsLAyED.

From the New York Tribune.
To German complaints Of the eco
nomic terms Of the peace treaty the Al
lies reply that they "had no intention to
destroy Germany's economic life"
The allegation Of German representa-
tives that her adversaries have coldly
determined 10 make Germany a land OF
slaves has no more basis than the as
sertion. psrroted in German documents
FOR four years. that she was forced"
into the war-that on her part it was
one OF necessary self-defence. As the
one has been refuted, so viii be the
other.
Germany is disarmed. and conditions
are prescribed under which she must
continue disarmed. Instead Of this be-
ing TO Germany's economic disadvan-
tage it Is 20 her advantage. in what
school have the Germans learned that
for a wOrkingman TO carry q soldier on
his back adds 10 the wOrkingman's pro-
duction2 10 is the Allied nations ac-
cepting the cost Of maintaining fleets
and armies to insure just peace TO all.
which will be under economic pressure
because Of the peace. Germany under
the peace will sustain the relations TO
the world that Canada bore to Great
Britain before the war. Canada was
assured OF protection, but bore no con-
siderable part Of the burden Of pay
ment. Germany is similarly TO enjoy
and not to pay.
German diligence will as much har-
vest the fruit OF its labor as diligence
elsewhere. There is no trade shackllng
In the peace All that is sought Is TO
prevent Germany from having undue
advantages. If her merchant ships had
been returned TO her while those OF
Great Britain were under the sea there
would have been no fair play. II Ger
many were not asked to bear part OF
he cost Of reparation she would be
busy making goods while Frenchmen
were putting up factories and install
ing machinery. 10 may not be forgotten
hat Germany is the one nation which
escsped from the war unrayaged.
Nations in their separate capacities
are 10 have economic self-determination
after the war. What they will do has
not vet been decided, but the peace
treaty. itself establishes no discrimina-
tion. Germany thus still is a formld-
able trade rival. None know this better
than German business men. who are
getting ready 20 compete There IS far
more likelihood Of unfair competition
from Germany than Of unfair competi-
lion against her.

WASHINGTON, May 23.-Glant flying
boats much larger than the NC planes
now on the transocean flight are being
designed by the Navy Department. They
will be capable Of carrying enough
fuel TO ny at least 5000 miles, or com
pletely across the Atlantic. without

In the creation Of a great aerial navy
maintained for use in war and peace.
They will carry, beside great guam
titles OF gasoline and oil, crews larger
than any yet assigned 10 an airship. In
a statement issued last night Secretary
Daniels said that the exact plans for
the big boats would be announced as
soon as the overseas flight had been
accomplished, in other words. when the
NC-i reaches Plymouth. England,
Mr.. Daniels added that new diri-
gible Is being tried out in Akron, Ohio,

1T is only a question Of time" said
Secretary Daniels, before the science
OF aviation will solve many OF the
problems which still puzzle the sci
entists and experts. In the future. in
stead OF landing with more or less OF a
crash. planes undoubtedly will come
down on land or sea as gently as a bird
alights. This and many other de-
velopments are certain.
"The navy will not stand still. only
today. ] was talking with Captain
Craven. the new head OF the Aviation
Division OF the Navy Department and
we agreed that for the immediate fu-
ture the wise thing 10 do is to spend
more money on experiments than on
the quantity production OF planes. That
shall be my policy"
He said that Just as the transatlsn-
tic voyage Is a big experiment so also

Department in IFS desire 10 arrive at
the zenith Of aerial prowess.
I'VE have been unable TO estimate the
cost Of the transocean flight" he said

ments, the cost Of which will be,worth
all the money we put into IL because
Of the developments that win result.
The biggest item, Of course. is the
cost Of constructing the seaplanes. The

The lessons learned by the United
states in the war have been embodied
in the departments plans for these
new craft, and both are OF special de-
sign, which make for greater safety
for their crews and for better service
in battle.
The two new vessels will carry
twelve i6-inch guns, four anti-aircraft
guns, two submerged torpedo tubes
and other smaller calibre guns. They
will be oil burners and have a cruising
radius Of 5000 miles and a speed Of %
knots an hour. Mine sweeping appar-
atus, which has proven successful dur
ing the war, is also on the list Of i'm
provements provided for in the design
OF these two dreadnoughts.
Particular attention will be paid to
bulkheads and docks on these ships,
and they will be subdivided so as 10

poisonous gases from exploding shells.
The ventilating systems are also laid
out so that this menace will not reach
the compartments where the crew are
stationed in battle and the air supply
in the vital battle stations will have
apparatus TO purify it. There are also
special flooding arrangements whereby
any list OF the vessels may be recti-
fed by flooding certain compartments.
There were but three bidders for the
construction Of these two ships and no

LABOR BULWARK
AGAINST REDS
Ole Hanson Warns Manu-
facturers of Continued
Bolshevist Menace
MORE SAFEGUARDS
ARE SUGGESTED

NEW YORK. May 23.-Referring TO
Bolsheyism as "a mass attack against
civilization" and asserting mat Lenne
and Trotzky had sent out their agents
20 overthrow the existing Governments
OF the world, Ole Hanson, Mayor OF
Seattle, told the National Association
OF Manufacturers at their annual ban
quet that American labor. true 10 its
traditions, would be the bulwark OF
the nation against the "Red" menace.
The banquet, which was held at the
waldorf-Astoris. and which brought 20
a close The twenty-ilfth annual con-
vention OF the association, was attend
ed by more than 500 men and women.
Mayor Hanson spoke on tho topic
"Bolshevism and Readiustment" and
reviewed the history OF the revolution
and the fall OF the kerensky govern
ment. Referring to insurance against
the spread Of Bolsheyism In this coun-
try, he said:
Labor VIII form the main guard
against tho red menace in this country,
II labor Is true TO its traditions. Some
BOlsheyik leaders such as a number In
Seattle and Tacoma, Wash. have
proved traitors TO the A. +. OF L., but
over the whole land. OF course. these
Judases are very few.
''rhe International reds saw the ne
cessiiy OF securing some already or

they chose the l. w. W's 20 do their
work and carry out their policies IN

"rhe l. w. WIS are not a labor
union The !. W. W's are opposed 20

destruction Of all industries and the
overthrow Of all government.
on the problems OF reconstruction,
Mayor Hanson advocated a policy that
would provide for the inauguration OF
a comprehensive programme OF public
works. development OF water power
and reforms in the immigration laws.
With respect 10 the latter. ne said:
"As 10 the immigration, 10 seems 20
