correspondence )-Congressman Geo.
w. Edmonds. of Pennsylvania, a men,
ber of the Merchant Marine Commit
tee of the House, has introduced a
bill to deny the use of American ports
to foreign ships whose owners give
deferred rebates or make contracts

relieve our merchant marine from a
severe handicap placed upon it by the
methods employed by foreign ship
owners.

under the league of nations. 1t now
develops that the resolution has new
er even been acknowledged by the
President. 1t is said that the State
Department desires to supply the in
formation but cannot do so without
Executive sanction, although Senator
Wadsworth and perhaps other Sena-
tors have been permitted to read the
report. Senator Poindexter of Wash
ington says that he is informed that
Gen. Harbord estimated it would re-
quire the sending to Turkey of
quarter of million American troops,
and a levy on the American people
of a billion dollars to make such a
mandate effective. If such is fact
it is apparent why Mr.. Wilson pre-
ferred to keep the report secret.
