No Peace in Europe
Without q. S., Says Gibbs
Aid as Essential Now as i'm Win
ming the War, He Tells
BROOKLYN Audience

Painting a black picture of condi-
tions in Europe, Sir Philip Gibbs, Brit
ish journalist, in lecture at the
Brooklyn Academy of Music last night,
declared America could decide the des-
tiny Of the world and answer the ques-
tion Of whether Europe is to live, or
to die, from the "rayishing disease now
affecting it,"
Sir Philips subject vas "What Amer
ica Means to the World" In expecta-
tion Of a possible repetition Of the in
terruption on the part II Sim FoIn
sympathizers of the Englishman's dis
course at Carnegie Hall last week, q
Gordon Of police was present, but it had
nothing to do but cool its heels in the
foyer.
Only once was there sign of hos
tility and that was when lone voice
from the gallery shouted "three cheers
for De Valerai" as Sir Philip touched
on the Irish question, saying he be-
ieved the reported actions of the Black
and Tans were disgrace to England
and these Of the Sim Fein a blot on
the soul Of Ireland, The shout was
drowned in Kisses.
Sir Philip said Europe could not
achieve peace without the aid of Amer
ica any more than it could have won
the war without the participation Of
the United States.

Senate Report
To Favor Coal
Bill of Calder
Committee Approves am
Amended Measure, Say
ing That Fuel Is Charged
with a Public Use"
Provides for Publicity
Declaration M a de Public
Has Been Subjected TO
''Deplorable Conditions
From The Tribune's 1yashtnoton Bureau

From The Tribuno'8 WASHINGTON Bureau
WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-The Senate
Committee on Manufactures to-day or
dered favorable report on the Calder
coal bill. 1t was amended, and, as
changed, provides chiefly for publicity
1t carries declaration that coal is
charged with a public use because a
basic necessity and essential TO the
public health.
Senator Calder will endeavor to have
the bill passed by the Senate. 1t can
not be enacted this session, but will
be taken up again next session and
pressed on the ground that it is emer-
gency legislation.
Senator La Toilette, chairman of the
Manufactures Committee, made a re-
port on the bill. In the report he said
the measure proposed these two things:
FIRST, Aornial ec.aratlon ana ca.
actment by Congress that coal is L
basic necessity, essential to the public
health, and therefore charged with the
public use;
Second, it provides for the procure
ment, assembling and publication of
the essential facts relating to the in
dustry, and the doing of this current
y, when it is of value, and it provides
governmental agencies under proper
over TO compel the furnishing of ac-
,urate statistics, with penalty for fail
ure to furnish same or the furnish
ing Of misleading or false statistics"
The report further says:
The committee does not offer this
bill as complete legislative solution
TO prevent the recurrence Of the de-
plorable conditions to which the con-
suming public was subjec during the
year. The problem is so vital that
comprehensive, final legislation should
be attempted only after Peterborough
and complete study of oil the facts and
factors.
"The evidence taken proves beyond
dispute that there was serious danger
of absolute cutting off Of supply in
substantial portions Of the country and
uncomfortable profiteering with the
resulting suffering, This situation be-
gan almost Immediately upon the re
lease of control by the Federal Fuel
Administration on April / and grew
more acute throughout the season
until well into December.
There is conflicting evidence and
great divergence of opinion as to the
cause of the shortage and disturbance
If supply, but whatever the facts as to
the cause, the committee finds that no
3ause constituted either justification or
legitimate excuse for the great en-
aancement of prices which occurred
most largely in the stock market, and
which enhancement the evidence
clearly shows was participated in by
operators, wholesalers and retailers,
md aggravated by the entrance into
the field Of quick and easy profits eff a
.orde of speculators who have had no
defenders before the committee.
ut would be a gross dereliction OF
duty for Congress TO shut it's eyes to
IA possibilities or probabilities and
20 fail to take steps to prevent the
,ontrol in such recurring emergencies
from being left in the hands Of those
whose conduct during the last year
amounted to a national disgrace"
