''HYPHENATED POLITICS"
BLAMED FOR PACT DELAY
Secretary Daniels in New York Ad-
dress Says Foreign-Controlled
Vote Is American Menace.

NEW YORK, January 16.-Charging
that ''hyphenated and un-American
influences have dominated the Senate
in its consideration of the peace
treaty and the league of nations cove
nant, Secretary Daniels, in an address
last night at the Holland Society din
ner here, declared the nation faces
the danger of having the fate of the
covenant decided, not upon. considera-
tions of merit, but through fear of a
foreign controlled vote"
Voicing a plea for an expression of
solid. Independent Americanism in
the determination of all political is
sues, Mr.. Daniels asserted that reap
pearance of "hyphenated politics"
when the league covenant was laid
before the Senate was the first time
this snake has crawled out of it's
hole since the armistice was signed"
He continued:
Cultivated. hyphenated politics is
the menace today of American life.
The country must be purged of it be-
fore we can be a truly American ma
tion dominated by American ideas as
to national and international duties
and responsibilities. The duty of the
hour is to cry aloud against this
crime threatening national unity and
national honor and spare not until no
public man or party will dare to cul-
tivate any race or class vote or to en-
courage political action based upon
foreign loves or aims, or to daily
with disloya] or half-hearted allie
glance"

|SHOE DEALERS TO OFFER VIGILANCE
COMMITTEE IN WAR ON PROFITEERS

not as yet drafted finally its PROPOSE :
ton to the Department Of Justice, but
it was described as follows:
TT is impossible to outline any gen
eral percentage of profit, either net
or gross, that can be made by all
retail shoe stores in America. Your
committee in it's resolutions will go
definitely on record against the pos
sibility of any such law. and they
will deny absolutely and unequivo-
cally that there is profiteering in the
shoe business in the United States,
except in the l per cent that Attor-
ney General Palmer mentioned.
'"The plan of your committee IS that
we will organize a vigilance COM
mittee with one man in every state
preferably associated as closely as
possible with ,$or number of. the
various price fixing or fair price COM
mittees, who will operate as the vigi-
lance officer of that state and who
will appoint under him representa-
tive sh6e men throughout the state.
ANY case of profiteering that may
come to our notice may be directed
to that vigilance officer, and the Ma
tional Shoe Retailers Association of
America will go on record as going
the limit to stamp out that man who
profiteers. 1t is inconceivable that
the government will not accept our

Investigation Ordered.

Department of Justice officials ad-
mitted today an investigation or
financial transactions in Pacific coast
shipbuilding had been ordered, but
declined to indicate the nature of the
evidence obtained. Officials of the
shipping board likewise were silent
on the reported disclosures of fraud.
The investigation, it was recalled,
was instigated by former Chairman
Hurley of the shipping board. 1t was
the intention of the board. about eight
months ago, to go into the books of
the shipbuilding companies ITSELF but
plans later were changed and the
whole matter turned over to Attorney
General Palmer. There was no init
nation at that time, however, that
the alleged fraud would attain any
such proportions as government
agents now believe they have uncov-
cred
Seven Corporations Concerned.
Information which came out piece
meal here tended to show that at
least seven large shipbuilding corpo-
rations We're involved in the alleged
fraud. Their identity was not dis
closed and probably viii not be until
federal indictments have been OBJ
tanned and executed. The government
was said to be preparing it's case with
a view to avoiding certain legal tech
nicalities which have led to long
drawn-out fights in attempts to re-
cover illegally paid funds on certain
other wartime contracts.
The opinion among officials here
seemed to be that the alleged fraudu-
lent transactions were limited to
yards on the Pacific coast. 1t was
said that no reasons for investigating
Atlantic and gulf coast yards had been
presented thus far. Although several
illegal transactions were discovered
in some of the eastern yards shortly
after the signing of the armstice
they were cleared up without resort
to courts.
