 to Foreigners WILL GIVE AID TO PIONEER COMPANIES Aims to Restrict Petroleum Business to Nationals in
 Protectorates

WASHINGTON, May 17-Exclusion of aliens from control of oil resources within the empire, government aid in developing new supplies in other countries and restrictions against dis Posal of oil stocks held by British na- petroleum policy, the senate was in- forlaed today by President Wilson.
 The information, given in a special report from the state department. was in answer to senate resolution ask ing what disabilities attached to American participation in world petro- leum reSOu1 ces. The governmental policy of Great Britain, the report added, also contemplated financial and technical aid to pioneer companies.
 The senate resolution, introduced by Senator Gore, democrat, Oklahoma, re- questec the president also to say what diplomatic efforts had been made to remove the restrictions upon partici- latiOn ir oil development by Americans elsewhere than Tn the United States. Representations had been made to Great Britain concerning restrictions upon oil development in the occupied sections of Turkey, the report said and had beer met with assurances that nc discI animation against Ameri- cans would be allowed With regard to Mexico, the department reported the last note of warning which said I,n Init quiesce" in any procedure resulting in confiscatiOn of American oil holdings
 Observing that all regulations in England and her possessions were aimed at restricting oil operations to control of their nationals, the report said, this form would seem to be justified in the viewpoint of interna- tional law. however impolitic it might be as regards reciprocity and interna- tional controversies"
 Citing many consular reports. the report said that the British policy ap- deterring foreigners from owning or operating oil property in the British Isles, colonies or protectorates, by di- rect participation of the government in financing larger exploiting companies

NEW YORK, May IT. - Repeal of a national bankruptcy act, establish ment of a system of general indus trial education and voluntary curtail- ment by individuals in consumptions and expenditures 10 eliminate the need for governmental loans, are urged in reports presented by com mittees today at the 18th annual con vention of the National Manufactur- CTS association.

 Tn asking for the repeal of the eX- cess profits tax, the taxation com mittee suggested a satisfactory sub stitute be found
 The report declared "a carefully de yised gross sales tax" might meet the situation, but suggested that the most reasonable form would be a limited tax on turnovers of wares

 produce an annual revenue ranging from s2,OOO, ,OOO, 900 to $6,0O0,OO0, ,001. ' The committee asserted the present tax discourages new ventures and cen firms old ventures in their monopo flies.

NAVY MEN TRIED TO MAKE IF HIM 'RUBbER q AMP SAYS SECRETARY
Daniels Complains Officers Want to "Prussianize
 the Service
CHADGES SIMS WITH
 PERSONAL MOTIVES
Whole Criticism Due to an Effort to Discredit Him,
 Says Navy Head

WASHINGTON, May 17.-Desire ito Prussianize the navy department" was ascribed by Secretary Daniels today as one of Rear Admiral Sims under lying motives in criticising the de- partment's corduct of the war. The secretary. testifying before the senate naval Investigating committee. also charged most of the testimony sup porting Admiral Sims. position was from officers who wished to remove civilian control of the department and make the secretary a''rubber stamp"
 The original charge showed hosti- ity to certain officers and a desire to damage the ranking officers who di- rected the operations during the var" said MT. Dsniels, speaking of Admiral Sims critical letter of January ?, and the evidence has disclosed a desire to misrepresent the secretary or the navy because he was not rubber stamp secretary. But deeper than egotism and prejudice you will find a Geep seated determination to organize the navy department upon the ap- proved Prussian plan by giving all power to the military and taking all away from the civilian"
 MT. Daniels said if the committee desired to raise tho general staff issue he was willing to go to the country with it. If congress approves the plan, he declared, it should "create a general staff on the German model and name some Won TirpitZ to rule the ravy," make an admiral secretary and member of the cabinet and civilians ineligible foY the post but should not put some Sims in control Of the navy with nominal civilian secretary as his clerk, messenger and rubber stamp"
 Most of those who advocate this radical departure seek to camouflage their Prussian ideas" he said. They say they dc favor a civilian secretary and have no thought of a naval officer for secretary. What they desire Is a civilian rubber stamp secretary with no power except to draw his salary and sign here when the military chiefs tell him to af1iX his name.
 Mir. Daniels asserted that all recent secretaries had been confronted witt |, struggle to keep the navy under civilian control and quoted former Secretaries Welles, Long and Meyer and former assistant Secretary Darl ing to show the strenuous efforts the! found necessary to put forth to keeI authority in the hands of the civilian secretary.

Shippers and Railroads Clamor for Gouernment
 Aid in Mouing Freight
Interstate Commerce Commission Sends Out Army of Its Inspectors to Relieve Tieup Caused by Strikes and Car Shortage; Fuel Situation in East Is at Danger
 Point Cars Started for Coal

WASHINGTON. May 17. - The h. terstate Commerce Commission took it's first step today toward breaking the freight blockade
 Photographic appeals were sent to all state railway and public service com missions, urging them to join with the government in lifting the burden, while the commissions inspectors were assigned to aid in surveying traffic conditions at important gate ways where the flow of freight traf- fic was clogged. The commission also expected to be fully informed on the terminal situation by tomorrow night.
 Members of the commission recog- nized that the crisis would provide a real test for the new transportation act and likewise, that the emergency clauses must measure up to the claims of their staunchest supporters if freight is again set to moving smoothly
 With increasing complaints from shippers and requests for assistnce from railroads the commission is un- derstood to have determined to go into the freight tieup with hammer and tongs. Officials, however, urged patience by those watching the i'm mediate results since it may require days, and even weeks, to start any thing like a resumption of normal transportation.
 Tn it's first attempts, the commits sion probably will deal with local sit nations through individual roads. This was expected to last, however, only until a general scheme can be worked out by which priorities and embarGoes can be employed.
 Further suggestions of the roads were given the commission at con ferences with representatives of the railroads and shippers organization officials. The fuel situation has slowly developed to the dagger point, representatives said, and they pro posed that the commission establish a general. although counter movement of coal cars eastward.

 According to Winter, total demands of the rail employees, including new demands of approximately 9 per cent would, if granted by the labor board. not only absorb the revenues expected from the increase i'll freight rates asked of the Interstate Commerce Commission, but would force the car riers to ask for additional rate in 'creases. ~Asri
