SAN FRANCISCO. May i4-The United States must apply itself inten- sively to the development of foreign trade in preparation for the time when dependence must be placed on imports rather than natural resources, accord ing to speakers who today addressed the third session of the seventh annual National Foreign Trade Council.
 More than 2,00o leaders Of American industry and commerce heard inter national experts declare that primary steps in this connection are develop ment of communications. cable, mail and shipping, provision for control of shipping by private enterprise unham- pered by government control and es- tablishment of a governmental foreign policy to protect American rights.
 The discussion of the American ner- chant marine was opened by Welding Ring of the New York chamber of commerce, who read a report of the merchant marines committee of the council. He declared it the opinion of the council that the merchants and manufacturers of the United States should be enabled to compete with their rivals in other countries without governmental intervention or supervi- sion. Shipping board vessels should be sold to Americans at prices based upon present construction costs. and under payment plan extending over sufficient time to permit active oper- ation, he said
 A. c. Bedford. chairman Of the board of the Standard Oil company of New Jersey, scored the failure of the state department to protect American in terests abroad.
 Need of adequate cable communica- tion across the Pacific was dwelt upon in the group session devoted to Pa cific Problems" Several speakers re- ferred to instances where letters of confirmation reached trans Pacific points before the original cable, and one case where a special representa- tive was sent to Japan from the Pa cific coast to conclude deal because of lack of cable communication.

NEW YORK May 1.-The issue now confronting the nation was defined as a question whether labor and capital shall be subject to the control of the law when vital Iublic interests are in- volved by Senator Poindexter of Wash ington, a candidate for the Repu ublican presidential nomination. in an address tonight before the National Manufac- turers' association.
 "The freedom of the 1aboring man and rule by the people are at stake. said Senator Poindexter. "A man should be protected in his right to work in or out of a union. And the govern ment must protect with all the force of the nation, if need be, the movement of food supplies and the conduct of in dustries which are essential to the life of the people.
 'The influence of the labor union within it's proIer sphere and conducted on sound and reasonable principles. is valuable aid to industry and govern ment; carried to the excess of coercing all workmen to become it's members whether they wish to or not levying compulsory taxation upon them, dic- taung when they shall work and when they shall not. and directing the government itself it is then carrying a good thing to excess.

 Democratic estimates were that the resolution would have a majority of from five to seven votes, depending on whether another Republican joins Senator McCunber of North Dakota in opposition. At least four Democrats are expected to be with Republicans for adoption.
 The presidents veto message is ex- pected to define more clearly the cam paign issue on the question of peace and the treaty of Versailles. Demo- cratic leaders tonight predicted that the treaty would not be returned to the senate with the veto message. but that the president would outline more extensively his position in the veto message and thus let matters go ~to the country"
 The president position, given in his telegram to Oregon Democrats, was attacked by Senator Reed (Democrat) of Missouri, who spoke for more than two hours inbehalf of the peace resolu- ton. Senator Reed indicated that strong opposition would develop at the San Francisco convention against the presidents demands. Referring to Re publican division on the treaty issue. Mir.

SEES NJ IND TO
 SUGAR SHORTAGE FOR Z OR [ YEARS
IRepubIioan A. p. Leased Wlrel

WASHINGTON, May 14-Herbert Hoover, former food administrator and candidate for the Republican nomina- ton for the presidency, gave his views to congress today on the sugar and industrial situations. Appearing be- fore a house committee investigating the sugar situation, MT. Hoover de- clared that the world shortage was likely to continue two or three years. said, with immediate government ac- ton to control the supply through commercial, not legalistic methods.
 Although the hearing related pri- marily to the action of Attorney Gen eraI Palmer in approving a maximum price for the Louisiana crop, it reached out into a broader field after Mr. Hoover said he could give only an .off hand opinion as to that proceeding. Mir. Hoover said. however. that the government should have bought the Louisiana crop last year, pocketing the loss or else selling to the luxury trade at an advance.
 Earlier in the day MT. Hoover, who was a member of the President Will sons second industrial conference. told the senate labor committee he did not believe that the relationship between employers and employees could be settled by any form of legal repression. whether it be by injunction. compul- sorry arbitration, or industrial courts. He said labor had uuquestionably been affected by reports of the exorbitant profits of some employers although he was emphatic in asserting that unlike Europe, the United States had not been threatened by an attempt by labor leaders to use the strike as q political weapon.

CLAIMS SIMS ROBBED l. S. NAVY IF CREDIT FOR SINKING U-BOATS
[RepubIIoan A. P. Leased wirel


 WASHINGTON, May 14-Rear Ad- rafral Sims robbed American destroyer crews of credit due them by leaving the investigation of combats with subma- rines to the British admiralty, Sec retary Daniels today told the senate naval Investigating committee. Had he known that American officers were not reviewing the circumstances of battles between American vessels and TT-boats. he would have ordered the admiral to adopt that course, the sec retary said.
 Admiralty reports and awards of credit to the Americans were accepted by Admiral Sims, Mir. Daniels said, all though the British demanded absolute conclusive proof before giving credit for the sinking of a submarine in the case of an American vessel, while us- ing a less rigorous standard in the case of British ships
 out of 256 attacks on submarines bv American vessels, the British gave the United States forces credit for but 24 successful attacks, most of which were listed as possibly slightly dam aged" said Secretary Daniels. In only one case was full credit for the sinking of q U-boat given an American ship, this being the destroyer Tanning which sunk the U-5S and captured the crew.
 Tn explaining why so few credits were given for known sinkings, the summary compiled by Admiral Sims states that " Unless prisoners or un- 1listakable wreckage were obtained following an attack, it was practically impossible to definitely determine the results said MT. Daniels. That prisoners or Wreckage were not abso- lutely required before vessel was credited with sinking q submarine is shown by the reports from the British admiralty records of eases classed as known sunk.

NEED MUCH NEW EQUIPMENT TO
 BREAK FREIGHT
 PILE UP. CLAIM
Rail Executives Urge Use of Government Revolving Fund to Purchase Neces- sary Rolling Stock
IRepublican A. P. Leased wirel


 WASHINGTON. May 14-Immediate use of a part of the governments re- volving fund for the purchase of rail equipment was suggested to the inter state commerce committee today by the Association of Railway Executives. to aid in relieving the present acute freight congestion. At the same time, the senate adopted resolution by Senator Reed. Missouri, calling upon the commission for information as to what steps it had taken toward break ing the traffic jam.
 The executives recommended that s12. .000. .o00 be set aside for purchase of equipment and urged the commission to act at the earliest opportunity be- cause of the car shortage
 Outline Spending Program
 The executives offered also the fol- lowing program for disposition of the remainder of the $300.000.000:
 A temporary reserve for judgnen and claims against the railroad ad- ministration on the roads account, $40,000.000.
 Appropriation for the short line ;, A reserve to meet maturing obliga- tions $50,000, 900.
 Appropriation for additions and bet terments which will promote the move ment of cars $37, 100000.
 If maturing obligations of the var ious roads do not require full use of the $50 LOGO, 900, set aside for that pur- pose, the remainder should be turned into the fund for the purchase of equipment 1t was added
 The commission should adopt a more liberal policy with respect to weaker roads" in the matter of securities ac- cepted by the government, the execu- tiyes urged.
 Uroe Passaqe of Cunlnains Act
 The commission was asked to join in urging enactment of the Cummins amendment to the transportation act because of the effect 1t would have in aiding the corporations to expend greater sums for equipment. It was said that if the five year limitation were removed and extended to 10 years for refunding loans, the roads would be in better position to develop 2 complete program of equipment buying
 As viewed by some of the executives the Cummins amendment would mean that the railroads would have approxi- mately $500, 900, 900 more in cash than under original provisions of the trans portation act The roads would be given 10 years to pay back $765, 5,0o00o9 expended on their properties during federal control. Director General Hines had proposed to reduce this amount by withholding S495, 900. 900, which the government owes the roads, in rentals This, 1t was asserted would accomp- lish the object sought by Western ship pers who urged congress last week to increase the loan fund to enable the roads to buy more cars at this time
