Failure to Confirm Bainbridge
Colby Leaves State Depart
ment Without a Head.

Washington, Mar. ia virtual en-
barge on foreign travel by Americans
was in effect today with the expira-
tion of the 30-day period during which
Under Secretary Polk acted as secre-
tary of state. ada interim. No an
nouncement was made which indicated
that no more passports will be issued
until the senate acts on the nomina-
tion of Bainbridge Colby as secretary
of state. Officials held that no one
else was competent to sign passports
of which about six hundred to eight
hundred have been issued daily.
Twenty per cent. of these are travel
ers going to Cuba.
The state department was techni-
cally without a head. Frank Ii Polk,
who has acted as secretary since the
resignation of Robert Lansing resumed
his duties as under secretary, law Of
ficers of the department having held
that he could not serve as secretary
ad interim for more than thirty days.
The senate foreign relations COM
mittee had planned to give further
consideration today to the nomination
of Bainbridge Colby to be head of the
state department, but postponed its
meeting because witnesses called were
unable to appear.
Members of the COMMITTEES take the
position that under the wartime Over
man act President Wilson can assign
to some other official the duties of
the secretary of state and consequent
ly that delay in acting on Mr.. Colby's
nomination should not embarrass the
department.
The president had not designated
an acting secretary today and it was
said at the department that passports
were not being issued as there was no
one to sign them. Passports recently
have been issued at the rate of from
500 to 500 a day, mostly to persons
going to Europe, Cuba and South
America.
Administration officials, it is learned
officially, hold that the Overman act
does not apply in the present situation.
1t was indicated that there would be
no designation of a head of the de-
partment pending senate action on Mr..
Colby's nomination.
Meantime the issuing of passports
will be held up, it was said.

What are the wild wireless wave:

There are scores of wireless bugs
in West Florida who can tell Every
one of them, from the kid next door te
the business man with hobby, is a
pioneer adventurer in the invisible
ether world above our heads and all
around US.
There isn't radio amateur in West
Florida who hasn't a chance to win
prizes in one, two or three events of the
$1,000 National Amateur Wireless con-
test being conducted here by the Jour-

paper Enterprise Association.
The essays written by radio anna
teurs in this great contest are going
to reveal a whole new chapter of radio
achievement.
Along the Pacific coast these young
fellows are listening every night to the
talk of the ships far out at sea. They
hear the news of the world go flash
ing from the great navy stations TO
the Orient and Honolulu.
Atlantic Coast amateurs are grab

that tell, if one could decipher them,

common codes most of them can read

There's jazz music in the air.
Many a time some patient amateur
in the long watches of the night has
noted a sudden lull in the buzz talk

clear has heard a hymn or the short

amateurs have the apparatus for send

Seattle, Butte and Denver have
heard the nightly concerts in the lobby

BRITISH Want
TRADE CONTROL
Start Strong Campaign to Re.
gain Lost Ascendency in
South American Markets

Buenos Aires, March l5.-Some
British interests here have undertaken
publicity campaign in what has been
referred to as Athe great struggle" be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain for the markets of South
America. Special kilograms" from
London purporting to show that the
United States is losing her South
American markets, or otherwise dis
paraging the United States, have been
gratuitously distributed by British
advertising agency and have been
widely published by Argentine news
papers.
One of the kilograms was a criti-
cism of Herbert Hoover, saying that
European countries should work more
and ask less of the United States"
The Telegram made a comparison be-
tween the losses sustained by the
European allies in the war, particu-
larly the British dominions, as COM
pared with those of the United States,
and pointed out that the losses of the
European countries had reduced their
productive capacity, whereas the Uni
ted States had not suffered at all
economically.
Another of these special kilograms"
quoted the president of the British
board of trade in London as saying:
II. believe that the United States IS
gradually losing the markets gained
when Germany was wiped off the
seas and while Britain was fighting
in the war. Britain is not only regain
ing, but is enlarging her markets in
South America and the Orient. We
are replacing Germany in Latin
America and supplanting the United
States in war markets"
The truth of this statement as far
as it concerned Argentina was immedi-
ately challenged by the River Plate
American, a weekly commercial maya
zine, which has published an interview
from DR. Julius Klein, United States
commercial attaehe.
Cranky said DIR. Klein. I'D like
to know in what lines the British are
enlarging their South American trade
at our expense. The latest available
figures showed anything but loss
so far as our business in these mar
kets is concerned. Perhaps the presi-
dent of the board of trade is referring
to prospects for 1920 for which, how
ever, no figures are as yet available
so far as l know.
Speaking in the light of the latest
statistics that we have on hano-
statistics which showed that we are
selling to Argentina approximately
one third of all the goods she buys
abroad-and from personal observa-
ton since then, there has been no m
dication of losses to American trade
[ have no doubt that we are going to
meet with good, strong competition
from the British, but the inclination
Of the American exporter seems to be
to say: Come on, we are ready for it.
