VIEWS OF ROOT.
Senator Gives PreSident-EleCt
His Conclusions on General
World Conditions.
BY JACK ROYLE
international News Service.

MARION, Dec. 10. - Another
brief in the case to settle definitely
the international policy of the
United States was presented to
Senator Harding today. Elihu Root
brought to the President-elect his
conclusions as to world conditions,
gathered at first hand from the
dominating minds of Europe.
TAKE DIFFERENT ANGLES.
Unlike the arguments made yester-
day by Herbert Hoover, Senator Root
while it is understood he also ad-
Vocated the present league with GER
tain sweeping changes as ground
work for American foreign relation
ship, dealt almost entirely with the
legal, diplomatic, and political angles
of the situation. Hoover, he himself
announced, went moro deeply into
economic, financial, and industrial
conditions OF America and Europe
than into the political range OF dis
cussion.
Concerning the functioning of the
present league. its formation, its pro-
yusions, and the processes by which
they were reached, probably none is
better qualified to speak than Senator
Root. on the invitation of the
league, he acted as one of the council
which outlined the scope, orGaniza-
ton, and procedure of the interDa-
tional tribunal
Hoover, in his interview with Sem
ator Harding, il became known to-
day, brought to the latter accurate
conclusions as to the stand OF labor
in the present industrial crisis and
the attitude Of the employers. 1t IL
known the executive council of the
American Federation Of Labor out
lined to Hoover recently their de-
termination to fight desperately any
reduction of wages or extension OF
hours. They sought his help TO
work out a plan whereby. through
increased efficiency. production
might be specded up and plants kept
open. thus avoiding danger Of uncm-
ployment. Hoover. II is understood.
has sounded out employers on THE
subject and brought their views also
to Senator HardinE's attention.
The intimate relationship OF Hoover
with both employers and employees
has caused increased speculation here
az TO the possibility of his appoint
ment ms Secretary of Labor in the
Harding Cabinet.
The proponents Of an amended or
reconstructed League are having
their day In court at Marion Just now
and will continue TO be represented
throughout tho week.

nent OF tho League. continues, how

ments. The public has treated him
unfairly.
The United States can balance its
fleet only by adding, or converting
from steam, at least a million tons OF
motor ships. We should stimulate
the building OF Diesel factories ana
produce more than our BRUSH anu
Scandinavian competitors.
..If we do not, We have lost the
hattie for N sxttine supremacy, ana

commercial value of the Diesel motor
shin. 1t was then beyond either
practical or scientific question or
doubt.
at the present rate OF consunp-
ton, IL has been estimated by geolo-
gists and practical oil men, the Amer
lean oil supply will be consumed In
side of twenty-five years. This Is
the occasion of Secretary Colbys note
TO the British on their mandate over
the Mesopotamian oil fields. Can we
waste two-thirds OF our fuel oil
through steam boiler tubes and up the
smokestacks in view of this world oil
condition.
Our wasteful steamships built for
the war emergency are hopeless in
competition with these Diesel vessels.
Motorships carry no boilers or con-
densers, and but one-third the fuel
AS q consequence they have over IL
per cent more cargo capacity. This
in itself means a handsome profit in
snip operation"
Returning to the question of tho
Diesel engine, chairman Walsh Re
publican, of Massachusetts,, asked
Denman if he had any ships under
Contract in which that type of engine
was to be used.
"we did not" Denman replied. we
planned to construct these engines 81
the earliest possible time and to build
as many steamships as possible until
plants for the Diesel engines could be
completed"
ONE DIESEL SHIP BUILT.
Were contracts signed by your
successor for the Diesel engine con-
struction?" Walsh asked.
TNot one There has been but one
ship built with the Diesel engine. It
will have trial trip in few
months" Denman replied,

You for carrying out the Diesel pro-
ject?" Walsh asked.
