JUST POLITICAL TALK,
IS WHITE HOUSE VIEW

Talk OF impeachment proceedings
against President Wilson in connec-
tion with failure to carry out the
provision of tho Jones Shipping law,
by Senator Sterling OF North Dakota
and Congressman Edmunds OF Phil
adelphiss Is for political effect, ac-
cording to close advisers of the Pres
ident at tho White House today.
They assert that the President In
his stand. has raised such . consti-
tutional Question as would bar any
impeachment action by Congress even
II such action were considered ser
iously.
At the white House, II was ex-
planned that tho President took the
ground. in announcing his refusal,
that Congress lacked the power to
initiate or abrogate treaties.
Behind this, IL was said, lie pos
sibilities of unpleasant disputes and
commercial complications, should the
provisions OF the new law be COM
piled with strictly.
No attention is being paid at the
White House to impeaohmcntts talk for
failure OF the President to give mo-
tice within ninety days OF the abro-
cation of such treaties as conflict
with the shipping law.
Secretary Tumulty will conforcw ith
President Wilson today on the lattor's
plsns for participation in the kcam-
pai&n for Governor Cox.

FOREIGN NATIONS BEGIN
ATTACK ON ship BOARD

Since President Wilson. by his re
fusal to obey the Jones shipping act
virtually removed all teeth from the
United States Shipping Board, for
eign nations have already begun at
tacks upon that struggling organiza-
tion.
At least one government with great
shipping interests, and probably two
ID now making representations against
the Harriman-HamburR American
deal, given official sanction by the
board, and hope ultimately TO de-
stroy 81.
Official objection to the deal Is
based upon two distinct grounds.
First. That II constitutes a dis.
crimination against allied commercial
interests In favor of Germany.
Second. That the United states IL
stilI at war with Germany. and there.
fore cannot legally enter into a bust.
ness combination with her.
KNEW DECISION IN ADVANCE.
These allegations are all the more
remarkable in that they come from
ono OF the nations first to sign the
treaty OF peace and to enter into
commercial relations with Germany

"The Merchant Marine Committee OF

gress IL adjourned. i am going ia
get into communication with the vari-
GUS members OF the committee 30
that we can hold a meeting some
time before Congress reconvenes. II
a meeting is held, we will be enabled
to lay the impeachment measures be-
fore the House of Representatives the
first thing when it reconvenes on the
first Monday in December.
Every provisi9l OF the Jones ac'

The measure was passed and then Il
WAS signed by the President himself
II there were any Of the provisions
that were Objectionable to him. h'
had the power to veto the en-
tire act or any Of it's provisions a,
that time. But he acquiesced. and
now is taking upon himself a power
that both he and the Secretary oi
State do not possess in refusing tc
carry out the instructions Of the act
He has no right to decide what parts
of the act he will carry out and to
ignore the remaining provisions.
when the La Toilette seamen's act
was passed the President anSiously
rushed into doing the very thing that
he is now refusing to do. He has nc
right to set himself up as a power to
censor existing legislation that he Is
bound to carry out because of hi;
oath of office.
PLANS SPECIAL SESSION.

during the coming week. Then, If II
can be arranged. we will hold a spe-
cial session to outline our action or
the impeachment OF the President
Just how soon the committee meet
ing can be held ] cannot say at this
time. as the members are scattered all
over the country.
II am hoping for an early meeting
Of the committee. or at least the hold
ing of one before the House recon
venes. so that il could take up the
impeachment at its first session. dc
not look for any trouble in the com
mittee, as the Democrats are in the
minority, and, therefore, cannot spike
any action on q strictly partisan basis
The impeachment proceedings are cer-
tainly justified and necessary because
OF the very irksome dictatorship that
the President has set up. The present
instance Is merely a flAgrant example
Of it's operation, and ] feel tho i'm

HUGE SEIZURES CHARGED.

the President far in advance. Great
Britain has established groups OF
semi-ofYiciaI representatives In New
York. San Francisco, New Orleans.
Galveston and Philadeiphia to com
bat the American merchant marine.
The first great activity. it was
learned, will be on the Pacihc Coast
where Great Britain has entered into
a combination with Japan.
Not content with defying the man
date of Congress by refusing to an
null thirty-two treaties affected by
the Jones Shipping act. President
Wilson probably will defy 1t further
by postponing appointment OF the
new Shipping Board as long as pos
sible.
ACTION DATE INDEFINITE.
1t had been understood that the
President would make the appoint
ments Immediately preceding the
elections. Now 1t appears he may not
act until after Congress convenes, II
then.
No cause more fatal to the inter-
ests of American shipping than this,
1t was pointed out by experts today,
could possibly be devised at this time.
The Jones law provides for the ap-
, pointment of q board consisting OF
seven members, "as soon as practica-
BILE after the passage OF the act
Only such acts as are approved by
majority shall be legal.
Ever since the law was signed. June
8 last, the board has consisted of only
two members, with Admiral Benson
officiating as chairman.
The most momentous questions that
have ever confronted American mari
time interests. such as a defense OF
American ships against discrimina-
tory foreign rates, the ALLEGATION of
ships to various companies. the or
ganization of new trade routes and
contracts between American and for
eign shipping concerns, are before the
board at this particular time.
HESITATE TO DECIDE.
So vital are these questions that
the chairman of the board and his
lone associate hesitate to assume sole
responsibility for decisions. whereas,
il they were backed by a full board
not a moment would be lost
1t is even contended that, owing to
lack Of a quorum, the legality OF all
acts Of the present members. includ
ing approval of the important Harri-
man -Hamburg-Am deal. are
open to doubt.
The Presidents decision to kill artl-
Gle "a of the Jones act was defeated
by a high official of the Government
today. Such representations had been
made to the United States by Eng
land, Japan France and the other
countries affected, he said. that Ions
and vicious trade war was the newt
able alternative.
1t was contended by this official
that in the event of such war the
United States would get the worst OF
1t and that our maritime interests
might even be wrecked.
This view is directly contrary to
public statement recently made by
Admiral Benson when the japanese
and other interests threatened to de-
clare a rate war on American ship
ping. The powers of the Shipping
Board under the Jones law we're such.
he said, that our maritime interests
had the backing OF the entire Ameri-
can treasury and were In a position
to withstand any onslaught from any
direction.
