Mr. Mccormick, who succeeds Sem

house, declares that President Wilson
Is attempting "coun d'etat' in def
ance of American public opinion, as ex-
pressed at the last election. He de-
plores the anti-British sentiment en-
gendered in America by the coopera-
ton of Lloyd George and President
Wilson in attempting to force the
league of nations ideas as proposed.
He says:

THE American people defeated Mr..
Wilson's candidates for Congress by a
decisive majority and gave the Repub-
licans control of both houses. AS Colo
mel Roosevelt said not long before his
death: Ten days before the election
Mr.. Wilson issued an appeal to the
American people. The Americans re-
fused to sustain Mr.. Wilson.
In no other free country in the world
to-day would Mr.. Wilson be in Office
Now it appears that Mr.. Lloyd
George, who achieved a political tri-
umph shortly after Mr.. Wilson met
his humiliating defeat, has Joined with
the President to force upon America
the constitution of an international
confederacy by linking it to the peace
treaty so that one may be inextricably
bound to the other.
Trying Coup D'Etat
Europe must come to understand
that Mr.. Wilson is attempting coup
d'etat in defiance of the decision of the
common people of America, uttered
at the last election. Despite the in
junction of Lord Shaw that we ought
to rewrite our constitution and mend
our ways, the American people cherish
their constitution as they do the Mon
roe Doctrine. They will neither vitiate
the one nor yield up the other; they
VIII not guarantee the territorial in
tegrity OF the turbulent Balkan states
or the great heterogeneous empires of
France and Britain; they will not un-
dertake to pcrpetuate British domin-
ION OF the seas against their future

"Sixty Senator's, out of total of
ninety-six, Democrats as we'll as Re-
publicans among them, share the
opinion expressed by tho thirty-nine
signatories to the Knox-Lodge rcso-
luton. Mr.. Hughes, Mr.. Bryan and
even Mr.. Taft say that the constitu-
ton as proposed requires amendment.
During Mr.. Wilson's hurried visit to
America he uttered nothing but ele-
CANT nebulosities and contemptuous
threats.
"A few weeks ago it seemed impos-
sible that the new cordiality and
friendly candor between allied Europe
and America might be broken by a
growing suspicion and sudden ami
mostly which we must frankly say is
chiefly directed against Great Britain.
THAT suspicion and animosity will
grow apace if Mr.. Lloyd George and
Mr.. Wilson continue in their present
course. The gentlemen in Paris ought
to make peace with Germany. Then
the President ought to put aside his
pride to invite Senator Lodge and
Senator Knox, Republicans. and Ser

conference to draft convention which

Argentina Wants Changes

BUENOS AYRES, March 15.-The
Foreign Minister held long conference
with ministers of neutral powers this
afternoon.
The neutral ministers We're informed
that Argentina will answer the invita-
ton from Paris to join the league of
nations, which Foreign Minister Pueyr-
redon said was accepted in principle by
this country. He said, however, that
some changes would be Suggested.
Senior Alvear, the Argentine Minister at
Paris, has been instructed to sound the
delegates to the conference, and espe-
cially neutral observers. regarding these
changes. No details of the suggestions
will be made known until Senior Alvear
acts. After the conference the For
eign Minister cabled instructions to
Senior Alvear
1t is understood that the object Of
the conference was to seek the support
of other South American neutrals for
Argentina's proposals.
Latin Americans Resentful
A dispatch to "La Prensa" from
Paris to-day says that the Latin Amer
lean delegates to the peace conference
are resentful over the small representa-
ton given them upon the financial and
economic commissions.
These delegates, the dispatch declares,
make the charge that the small nations
of Europe have been favored at their
expense. They assert that the Ameri-
can nations broke relations with Ger
many or entered into hostihties against
her in sympathy with Allied ideals and
not because they were directly threat
ened, as were the small European ma
tions which entered the war.

Uncertainty in Washington Situation Having Effect. Production of Iron for
 Recent Years

Inactivity continues the dominant fea- ture of the iron market with no indica- tions of a change for the better in sight. Fewer inquiries were noted during the past week than in other recent weeks consumers evidently not needing any me- tai at present or having supplies on hand sufficient to meet all immediate needs.
 Uncertainty growing out of the differ ence that have developed between the rail- road administration, the industries board and manufacturers has tended further to eomplicate matters, and delay the adjust ment which seemed in a fair way to be
The Birmingham age-herald., 1919-04-12
REASON FOR INACTIVITY

One operator explaining the low rate or production that has maintained since the beginning of the year, stated that 1t Is due in large part to the fact that great many of the larger consumers stocked Up as far as possible during the fall ana early winter when an acute shortage serl- ously threatened not only the territory supplied by the Alabama mines, but the whole country. Some of these consumers have been carrying stock sufficient to last them from two to four months and they are now drawing on this instead o- buying as they need it, as was formerly the case
 According to this operator there will De a noticeable increase in the demand Just as soon as the stocks are reduced to the tonnage usually carried by the consumers. He also pointed out that during the war when everything was running at hlgh pressure and labor was scarce, a large percentage of the fuel coal mined was dirty and of inferior quality. The con sumers are now trying to get rid or lhls before laying in further stocks.
 THE COAL MARKET
 There is a fair demand for domestic grades of coal, the production not yet having exceeded the demand, and it IS nos believed that there will be any surplus during the preesnt year. It is stated thar dealers are buying domestic grades or coal for their next winters needs contrary to their usual custom of waiting until summer to place their orders

PASSENGER TRAFFIC
 BREAKING RECORDS
 FOR THIS PERIOD

Passenger traffic on the railroads in this part Of the south is unusually heavy for this season of the year. Hugh F. Latimer, agent in charge of the joint ticket office of the United states railroad administration, said yesterday. This IS the off-season in travel, he said, the win ter tourists having for the most part re- turned to their homes and the summer travel not yet having set in.
 It is estimated that the passenger traf- fife of the railroads centering in Birming ham is at least % per cfnt greater than usual at this season of the year, with the commercial travellers furnishing proo- ably 60 per cent of the total
 While a great many soldiers discharge from the service are returning home they constitute only a very small part oi the passenger business.
 The passenger traffic departments are getting ready for the heavy summer busi ness that is almost sure to follow the in troduction of low rates. which Director General Hines announced a few days ago would be put in effect an early date.

IN rent LAWS
Salisbury Act Not to Be
Void Until Ball Bill Is
Effective.

The Salisbury act, which has
protected tenants from being
elected during the war emergency
and still is in force. will not be
stricken from the books until the
Ball bill creating a fair-rent COM
mission to prevent profiteering in
the District has become a law. 1t
is probable that the former will
overlap the latter by at least thirty
days
This fact was made clear by
members of the Senate subcommit-
tee who conducted the rent-profi-
teering hearings here a few weeks
ago.
1t is probable that the Ball bin,
which has already been passed by
the Senate, will be put through the
House this week as a rider to the
House food-control bill through the
good offices OF Chairman Haugen Of
the House Agriculture Committee.
Senators expect the food bill and
the rent rider. which passed the
Upper House Friday. will be sent
