URGES AMERICAN
 CONTROL OF SEAS
Homer l.. Ferguson Delivers Stirring Address at c. of
 c. Luncheon.

Before one of the largest crowds ever attending a Chamber of Com nlerce luncheon in this city, Homer L. Ferguson, of the Newport News Shipbuildir,g and Dry Dock company, and president of the United States Chamber of Commerce, deplored the condition Of the American Merchant marine at the time the United States entered the World War. and urged it's maintenanc and uplift until the con- trol of the seas once more rested in American hands.
 MT. Ferguson pointed out that while America paid about S4,O00,- 100000 for its present merchant ma rine, it was only about half the size of that of Great Britain which cost about S1,000,00o. This of course was due to the fact that England's merchant marine was ready when the war started and that country did not have to pay prices to build ships.
 Legislation which gave foreign countries more right of way in the Panama canal and equal rights in the Philippine trade was condemned by the speaker.
 Foreign trade and it's value to the economic success of the country was pointed out as well as the advisa bility of carrying imports and experts in America built, American manned, and ships sailing under the American flag.
 F. J. Kingsbury presided at the luncheon and introduced Mir. Fergu- son as a real American. Practically every factory head in Bridgeport was present, in addition to bank and mercantile officials.

'I didn't notice anything which I though especially important which was not in the summary" replied Mir. Root
 The copy he saw was dated April 90 and bore the imprint of home labor organization
 Do you think" asked Senator Brandegee, any damage was done to the negotiations of the treaty by it's publication in the Congressional Record ?"
 T think no damage could have been done," replied Mr. Root unless 1t was through withdrawing the at tention of the Senate from the var fous other important matters await ing action.
 When MT. Root was asked if he thought President Wilson has acted properly in not consulting the Sonata more closely, he said:
 The President exercised his con. stitutfonal power and I do not want to criticize him. It would have fa- cilitated public business and made progress toward a solution of a treaty sufficiently to the American"
 But it was not his duty?'' asked Senator Williams
 ''No.''

"I should be inclined to resent any suggestion from anybody that I am not entitled to it and to use it as I see fit, which I propose to do.
 MT. Davison's publication was no matter of idle curiosity but official on the part of one who is abandoning his great business and giving his great powers to organization and explana- ton of the great Red Cross activities"
 Then I gather" Senator Knox in- terjected, that you do not consider yourself in possession of stolen goods. obtained by bribery, has been charged on the senate fioor?"
 T feel a. sense of strong resentment to repel such a suggestion from any source,'' MT. Root answered. Moth ing could be more baseless than such a suggestion
 MT. Root thought the United States had 1,40O men on the payroll at Paris and of those probably 200 or 300 had copies of the treaty.
 We have contended that the senate is entitled to a copy" said Senator Borah. Do you regard that as cor rect position?''
 T do. I think every American citi- zen was entitled to see a copy of the paper made public by the German government"
 There was nothing material in the copy I had not seen in the papers" MT. Root added.
 He said he believed secrecy was not imposed until after MT. Davison left Paris.
 'I think you will find that the men who left Paris before May 1 , all brought their copies with them" he said.
 Probably two or three thousand men. he added, were engaged in drawing the complete terms
 Mir. Root said he was obliged to MT. Davison because he was deeply interested in a topic it was more convenient to study from the printed copy.
 Senator Harding remarked that some newspapers were saying the treaty text did not correspond in some respects with the summary.
