JONES To OPPOSE
CONF F|R|uAT|ON SHIP
BOARD APPOINTMENTS
Washington Senator Accuses
Some Members of Being
inexperienced.

Washington, Nov. 23.-Announcement
that he would oppose confirmation OF all
appointments to the shipping board made
recently by President Wilson was made
Tuesday by Senator Jones. of Washing
ton, chairman of the senate commerce
committee.
Il shall do Ill in my jower to prevent
their confirmation" he said. ''When the
shipping bill was passed it was my
hope and desire that the president would
appoint the board Immediately and start
its important work Instead Of doing
that. the president waited four or five
months. antil after election. and appoint
ed some men who are inexperienced and
unfit although some Of the appointees
are good men.
Under the circumstances: ] think
President Harding should have free
fand in naming the board and for he
direction of its policy
In addition to the shipping board nom
nations many other appointments Of
President Wilson probably will be held
up. according to Republican senate lead
ers who are returning here for the ses-
sion next month. Some expressed doubt
that any nominations would get thr ough
the senate. The practice Of refusing
to appointments by retir-
ing presidents has been general in the
past by both parties, it was stated.

chamber Of deputies in the vatican de-

not go to London until settlement is
reached respecting Frances representa-
ton at the vatican
NJ. Leagues, in asking for postpone
ment of further interpretations so that
he might be free to act, said:
France does not wish to intervene in
Greece's foreign affairs, but, after a war
which imperled civilization, If power
puts at its head a sovereign who show
ed marked and constant hostility towards
the allies and had been the accomplice
of our enemies, that power ought to be
warned that she can no longer have our
cooperation nor expect the same feeling
from us as formerly
Further than that the treaties give
US the right as protecting power to
proffer well-founded advice upon the
gravity Of an act which might give Ger
many occasion to intervene directly or
indirectly in Oriental affairs"
The premier said he wished to con-
slider definite course in the matter in
complete accord with Great Britain.

HoovER,s ANNOUNCEMENT

Chicago, Nov. c3-Eormal snnounce-
ment Of the organization Of European
relief council. composed Of eight Amer
lean organizations, was made by Herbert
Hoover. former United States food ad-
ministrator, at q dinner Tuesday night.
Continuation Of American support In
feeding the undernourished peoples of
Europe was urged BY Mr.. Hoover, who
will act as chairman Of the council The
dinner, rendered by Howard B. Jackson,
formerly vice president of the United
States grain corporation. was attended
by 500 Chicagoans.
This council, after fun investigation.
has decided that complete priority should
be given to American relief in Europe to
support 100000 children who have,
since the armistioe. been dependant on
American charity, until the children are
secure over the winter" said Mr.. Hoo
yer.
Here is an issue in our foreign rela-
tons which is neither race, politics nor
religion. 1t is just the preservation Of
the lives of children.
''The war has collapsed, among both
allies and enemy, in the face of the
greatest famine in 500 years. In the first
stage Of famine the human animals eat
the food of their cattle and thus under
mine the production Of milk. In the
second stage. they consume the cattle
themselves. The children of the white
races are dependent upon cattle for their
very existence, thus famine bears hardest
upon the children
To-day there are 3,5000OO waits who
live by virtue of the 5000 asylums, hos
pitals clinics, and canteens whose doors
would close but for American charity. At
the time of the armistice, Americans
were carrying the burden of 100000
children in Belgium and 6o0, 600 in north
eru France. This system was spread
over Finland, Esthonia, Letvia, Iithuan-
ia. Poland. Germany, Austria, Czecho-
Slovakia, Serbia. Rumania, Hungary aud
Armenia
with the harvests of 1919 and 1920,
and the gradual economic recuperation,
the burden has grown less and the har-
vest of next summer will greatly tighten
the burden. 1t is not perpetual charge
On American charity. 1t is an emer-
gency demand. 1t will cost $4,000, 900,
about one dollar month child until
next harvest.
ITO me it is glory to the United
States that 3,5o0eo0 hungry waits
should sit every day at our table. ]
would rather have the American flag
implanted in the hearts of the children
If Europe than flying over any citadel
# victory. Twenty years from now they
will form the basis of civilization in
Europe. If we are to preserve the
foundations of society in the east. If
We are to keep open the love of human
ty in the west, our duty is cleal be-
ore us"

New York, Nov, 23-An appeal for
contributions to make up a deficit of
81 $4,000 in the campaign fund Of the
Republican national committee. was sent
out Tuesday night by Will FL. Hays, its
chairman.
The appeal, addressed to the Repub-

aided them, called attention to the re-

$1,000 Limit Popular
"It is my firm belief that the $40
contributions in the 1916 campaign, and
the $1,000 limit of 1920 have finally
placed the popular collection OF political
funds On permanent and certainly on
most healthy basis. We are all very
anxious that this is an achieved fact"
Addressing editors Of Republican
newspapers, the statement declared that
the national committee would have been
gratified. naturally, had it been possible
to raise all the money necessary by the
small gift method. This, however was
hardly to be expected as this has been
the first real effort in that direction
II know the method is right" Mr.. |
Hays added. 'and / am convinced that

was declared to be in danger of repeal

Organized Marketing

London, Nov. 23.-The opening of the
debate on the Irish home rule bill in the
house Of lords Tuesday afforded a no.
table contrast to the apathy displayed
when the measure was under considera-
ton in the house of commons. The
upper house was crowded and many of
the members Of the commons, including
Premier Lloyd George, Andrew Bonar
Law and Sir Edward Carson, listened to
Lord Birkenhead's speech introducing
the bill. Many peeresses were in the
side galleries and the strangers gallery
was crowded
Explaining the provisions of the bill,
Lord Birkenhead read a letter from Sir
Edward Carson in which the unionist
leader declared he and his colleagues
had made up their minds to accept the
bill and work under the measure Loyalty
Lord Birkenhead suggested that a
secondary motive for the murder of
British officers in Dublin last Sunday
was the influence it would have on this
debate, and declared there was evidence
that the Sim Fein extremists were being
beaten.
