New-York tribune., 1920-02-20

promotinr machinery through enor-
rnously Increased appropriations, this
bill proposes to scrap the American
machine, the most effective and smooth
eat running that any government mas
ever been able to assemble.
"At the very time when our rivals
have an almost overwhe Inning trade
advantare in exchange rates this bill
nronosas to handicap American manu-
facturers by practically withdrawing
the helping hand of the government.
Almost on the day when our merchant
marine becomes fact it is virtually
announced that foreign trade is not
worth supporting"
Funds or the promotion Of trade IN
the Far East are cut in half, he added,
stating that this means great slack
ening of effort" in a district where
Japan, Germany and England are re-
doubling their efforts.
"The great markets of the East will
return thousandfold every dollar
this government spends there, he said.
The effect of the bill, the Secretary
Inserted. is the abolition Of the depart
ment's commercial attaches and the
reduction in the number Of foreign
trade commissioners despite the rap
idly changing conditions in Europe and
the critical reconstruction develop
ments with which they have kept Amer
lean manufacturers in touch. AS a re-
suit of the cut in appropriations, he
stated, district Offices must be abol-
ished in New York, Boston, Chicago,
St. Louis, New Orleans, San Francisco,
Seattle, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Pitts
burgh, Cincinnati, Dayton, Los Ange-
les and Portland, Ore.

Vatican Repudiates
Report ON Divorces
Statement That Remariages Are
To Be Sanctioned Is De-
clared Baseless

ROME, Feb. 19.-The authorities at
the Vatican after careful inquiry state
they are unable to find that any COM
munications or exchanges have oc-
Cured to warrant the publication by u
journal Of Vienna that marriage OF
Divorces was about to be inaugurated
in Austrian Catholic churches, accord
ing to an announcement authorized by
the Pope No such authorization has
bee ngiven, it is stated, nor is there
any trace of ggestions warranting
such statement, which is said to be
canonically impossible.
The statement as to marriage OF d.
vorcces was cabled from Vienna on
February 2. Later is was said the
statement, first appearing in Der
Morgen" of Vienna, was inaccurate and
grew out of the fact that certain d.
vorcees had been advised to apply to
the registrar for remarriagc, with the
expectation uthat the remarriage might
later be regularized by Rome. Inquiry
Of the Vatican now develops the state
ments are without foundation, rs there
have been no communications or ex-
changes ON this subject.

in Settlement of the Turk
Question, President Says
Message Urges Frankness
''Make Plain Country's Situ-
atio11,'' Is Keynote of Plea
for Citizens Cooperation

PARIS, Feb. 19.-Paul Deschanel.
Frances new President, in his message
to the Senate and Chamber of Deputies
this afternoon, laid stress upon the
necessity of making plain the country's
situation to the people and the duty
of her own citizens to give in return
their full share Of economic support
to the nation.
"Our first duty is to establish clearly
before the country our diplomatic,
military, economic and financial stu
ton" he said Later, in referring to the
duties of the citizen. the President de-
clared:
"The Frenchman who shirks the pav-
ment Of his share or taxation commits
an act analogous to that Of soldier
who deserts his trench or fees the
battlefield"
Referring to the situation in Russia.
president Deschanel said: "The Russian
people fought on our side for three
years for liberty. May that people
soon be master of itself and resume
Its c1vlllzing mission in the plenitude
OF its genius"
Safeguard Interests in Orient
M. Deschanel asserted that the in
terests, rights and time -honored tradi
safeguarded in the settlement of the
Turkish question. After explaining the
lmmensity of the task to be accom-
pashed within France, he said: eve
will accomplish it il we keep within
our souls the sacred fire which made
the French Republic invincible and
saved the world.'
In conclusion, M. Deschanel eulo-
gized former President Poincare and
the French soldiers and sailors. who. he
declared, had earned the country's
eternal gratitude.
M. Poincare took his seat in the SEN
ate 1or the first time to-day since his
election to that boGy. When Prcsi.
dent Deschanel's tribute to him was
read the Senators rendered an ovation
10 the former Pres dent.
President Deschanel paid his first
Gfilclal visit to Bagneux Cemetery to-
DAY, dedlcating it to dead French SOL
dlers, and laying palm on the monu-
ment erected there to men who fell
curing the war in the service of
france. He then visited Val de Grace
hospital, where wounded soldiers are
under treatment.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1e.--Prospects
of legal battle to complicate the con-

senger liners loomed large to-day when
Associate Justice Bailey. in the District

awe get $3.50 month per vessel and
III per cent of the gross freight reve-
nue." Mr.. Potter said, with the Ship
ping Board furnishing the freight.
These terms are being changed, how
ever. Operators will get only 5000 a
vessel hereafter and rustic the freight
themselves"
Loss Often Results
Potter expressed the opinion that tho
Shipping Board tonnage was only about
30 per cent efficient, advocating scrap
ping Of much Of the wood tonnage. On
the nine wood vessels assigned to his
concern, he said, the operation had re-
suited in q loss.
Operators are not allowed to make
freight rates, land this results in oc-
casional loss Of business" he added,
"whcn a British or Norwegian vessel
cuts under the rate and we have to
wait for authority from Washington
to meet competition"
Justice Bailey's decision sustained
contentious of counsel for Mr.. Hearst
that the German ships were seized
under distinct legislation. and that the
apply to them.
Assistant Attorney General Ames,
representing the government, contended
that the law of 1917 was broad enough
to cover the ships in question, in that
it authorized sale of vessels acquired
previously or thereafter.
Soon after the court decision was
rendered Chairman Payne issued the
following sta atement:
The language of the American ship
ping act, giving the board the right to
sell all ships of whatever kind, also
whatever sources, and the proclamation
of the act of June Is, 1917, 'all ships
constructed, purchased or requisitioned
under authority herein, or heretofore,
or hereafter, acquired by the United
States shall be managed, operated and
disposed of as the President may d.
rect
Appeal to Come at Once
"The case is in charge of the De-
partment of Justice and that depart
ment, of course, will manage it. NV
Recommendation will be that an appeal
be at once prosecuted, and an early
hearing asked.
The daily expense of taking care
of the vessels as they now lie in the
harbor is some $4,000. The complain
ant should be required to give bond to
pay this sum and such damage as NAV
result from our failure to sell the
ships"
Commissioner Stevens, testifying be-
fore the Senate committee Investigate
ing the proposed sale, said to- day tha,
the value Of tine thirty German ships
offered for sale was two to three times
the amount Of the bids received. Mr..
Stevens said their real value was be-
tween S6S,ooo,o0o and s79,ooO.0o0.
The fundamental question involved
in. the sale of the ships, Mr.. Stevens
said, was whether they could be oper-
atod as cheaply under the Amc rican
flag as are foreign ships.
"The only way we can find that out
is for the Shipping Board to reft the
ships and operate them for while,'
he said. "To sell the ships to Ameri-
can concerns for the amounts offered
would be to give an indirect subsidy
OF millions of dollars, and if the same
policy were followed with the cargo
ships the subsidy would reach billions" ;"

Government Recommendations

STOCKHOLM, Feb. 19. Proposals
that Sweden join the league of nations
have been submitted to the Riksdag
by the government, which has sent
arguments for and against such a step.
These include apprehcnsions caused
by the failure Of the United States to
ratify the treaty of peace, but hopes
are expressed that this soon will be
done at Washington.
Sweden's position. it is declared. is
based on consideration Of her urgent
duty to the civilized world to attempt
to prevent future wars, and it is as
