CALL JAPAN'S BLUFF.
Senators RidieuIe Threat of Shipa to
Desert Pacific Coast

Washington, July 7.-Threats of
Japanese shipping companies to de-
sert Pacific ports because of pro-
visions of the new merchant marine
act were ridiculed by Senator Jones
OF Washington. chairman of the sem
ate committee on commerce.
Senator Jones said he had received
assurances from the shipping board
that American ships would be i'm
mediately allocated in sufficient num-
bers to'rcplace any foreign ships which
might be withdrawn. and to insure
uninterrupted movement thru Pacific
ports of oriental exports and imports
'The quantity Of business moving
thru Pacific ports will not he per-
mitted to be reduced thru the opera
ton OF the new law" Senator Jones
said. The threats Of foreign car
riers to withdraw their ships have
been noted. but will not be permitted
TO divert business from ports thru
which 1t now moves.
There is full authority In the
transportation act to control abso-
lutely all import and export ship
ments in trans Pacific trades. SO
that the interstate commerce COM
mission may require them to move
under permit thus making effective an
absolute ebarso, which would prevent
diversion Of such cargo now moving
thru Puget>Sound to either Canadian,
Atlantic, or gulf ports"

For more than a year the contest

Senator Johr sons statement said.
1T has been the all-engrossinR and
paramount issue. OF necessity this
issue came tc the convention Of the
two great political parties, and both
republicans and democrats in their
platforms, have indulged in the usual
political verb osity, but nevertheless
these platforms, In the direct oppo-
sition to eacfI other. sharply define
and clearly present the question for
decision in the November election
Thus the issue finally comes from
the forum Of congress to the arbitra-
ment of the american people. The
overshawowing question in the cam
paign, therefore, is whether we enter
the maelstram Of Europeap and As
iatic politics and diplomacy and be-
come part cf the cynical imperial
ism of the old world, or whether
America shall live her life in her
own way, vita Independence unshat-
tered, mindful always Of her obliga-
tions to humanity .and civilization,
but free to act as each crisis shall
arise and maintaining always the
policy Of Warrington, Jefferson, and
Monroe. Of friendship with all ma
tons, entangling alliances with
none"
with a candidate standing four
square upon the platform, the issue
leaves those who believe in safe
guarding, protecting stnd preserving
our Americanism but one choice, and
that is to support the republican
party" !.

British Press Comment.

London, July F.-Newspapers of
London, in commenting on the Chi
cago and San Francisco conventions
this morning, devote more attention
to future relations between the
United~fStates and Great Britain than
upon the bearing the conventions will
have upon the domestic affairs of
America.
There is nothing in the declared
policy Of either Mr.. Cox or Mr.. Hard
ing to disturb the most cordial rela-
tions between the two countries" !"
says the Morning Post.
The Times, recognizing affairs of
Europe, will be mucn discussed dur
ing the campaign, saysk TT would be
wise to frankly ask ourselves wheth-
er it is strange If the progress Of
European affairs since the Armistice
should have induced in American
minds a feeling of bewilderment
bordering on alarm"
Most newspapers touch very light
ly, or ignore, the Irish plank adopted
at San Francisco.

When asked If he would have any

Dayton. July. I.-Governor James
NJ. Cox. the democratic. candidate for
president, believes that the democra-
tic vice presidential nominee, Frank
lin d. Roosevelt, assistant secretary
Of the navy, will be a good running
mate.
Cox and Roosevelt, that's catchy,
isn't it? commented the governor
as he first learned who his associate
on the ticket would be.
He was sitting in a reclining chair
IN his library, enjoying his pipe and
chatting with some newspaper rep
resentatives when informed Of Mr..
Roosevelts nomination. He appeared
we'll pleased with the selection made
by the convention and dictated to
the newspaper men the congratula-
tory telegram sent to Mr.. Roosevelt.
also the one sent to his campaign
manager, E. II. Moore.
The governor admitted that he was
not intimately acquainted with Mr.
Roosevelt. but declared him to be a
vigorous. outstanding. courageous
u.
mented particularly upon two ad-
dresses made by the vice presidential
nominee, one before the national
democratic committee in Chicago last
winter. and the other on American
ization In Dayton. He said Mr..
Roosevelts service in Washington
has given him a wide experience and
wide acquaintanceship.
First Public Address.
In his first public address after
nomination. in Middletown last night,
Governor Cox declared in comment
ing upon the Industrial unrest of the
world that, ANY attempt to exploit
class hatred is equally as dangerous
as bolshevism in Europe"
He asserted that the golden rule
works much better than the bullet OF
the bayonet and that all industrial
disputes must contain middle ground
which must be followed in order that
justice be done to all.
Those in public places must guard
the freedom Of the many from the ex-
ploits Of the few" he said.
Governor Cox said he will make nc
plans for the campaign until he has
had an opportunity to confer with
party. leaders.
He says he may go to the executive
office in Columbus today or tomorrow
to clean up his work there.

few politicians who, if they had
ideas. dared not offend Wall Street
by expressing them. 1t goes on the
theory that the public's appetite for
buncombe was not fully satisfied by
the republican performance, and so it
offers another full meal"
"As to Mr.. Cox, like Mr.. Harding,
he was chosen because he is medi-

Utah. Colorado Wyoming. and Ne
vada as sources of Oil supply for the
future according to Martin ]. CAL
vim, refinery engineer Of the bureau
OF mines.
These states contain enormous de-
posis's which by proper treatment
yield gas, oil. and also, IL desired,
ammonia, of value as fertilizer"
said Mr.. Calvin. The oil in many re-
|spects is similar to oil we'll petrol
cum and yields products similar to
those OF petroleum.
The development Of an oil shale
industry to one of considerable i'm
portance in this country will require
the expenditure of many millions of
dollars and take a period Of many
years.
"Our immense oil sfale deposits
practically assure us, that. come what
may, this country will still have it's
own sources of petroleum products.
We should never have to be wholly
dependent on foreign countries In
this respect"
