Louisiana Senator Cites Con-

NEW YORK. Nov. 2.-American
railroads. supplied with funds from
the United States Treasury. have been
utilizing their resources to build up
the business and swell the profits OF
foreign competitors OF the Govern
ment's shipping" Senator Joseph e.
Ransdell of Louisiana declared today In
an address before the Advertising
Club.
Ransdell said some OF the biggest
railroads in the country had filed with
the Interstate Commerce Commission
copies OF contracts with foreign ship
ping lines by which the carriers
agreed TO secure freight for foreign
companies to the exclusion Of others.
You will doubtless be told" Rams.
dell said, that the majority OF these
contracts were entered into at a time
when there was no American mer-
chant marine worth mentioning. and
that the contracts are legal. Even
conceding this. the fact remains that
no such agreements have been made
for the benefit Of the Governmnt's
vessels. although we have had large
Government fleet on the seas tor
more than two years.
II TIC dic ioN
prepared to give the American mer-
chant marine the same aid they ex-
tend to foreigners steps should be
taken to end these conditions.
How are we to escape the conclu-
sion that the American merchant ma
rine has powerful enemies at home
working to destroy it?'
Ransdell summed up the American
shipping situation as follows:
Il. Our country owns over a billion
dollars worth Of Government ships.
2. 1t Is not possible for the Ship
ping Board TO dispose of this fleet
to private persons In the near future,
as there are no purchasers.
"3. Our exporters. importers and
travellers, and especially our big rail-
road systems, should patronize Ameri-
can vessels; and If any preference in
freight rates is to be given, 1t should
be to American ships.
-. Government officials and their
families. and Government commerce,
should never sail on foreign ships ex-
Cept in emergencies.
IS. Never again should our navy
and our commerce be at the mercy of
foreign vessels. as they were at the
outbreak of the world war.
"6. At least one acid test Of genu-
Inc American patriotism should be to
use our own ships. to stand by our
own bottoms"

Japan will not necessarily insist
upon completion of her "eight-
and-eight" program of naval con-
struction, now building, provided
that proper understanding"
concerning limitation Of armament

Furthermore, Japan has not for

nations toward Japan"
Friendly Aims, Says kato.
These and similar opinions were
expressed today by Vice Admiral
Kato. chief naval adviser TO the Jap
anese delegation. in an interview
with the International News Service,
in which he indicated Japan's COM
plete willingness to 'go along" with
the other nations at the conference

now building is designed to adj eight
of the most modern battleships and
eight latest type battle cruisers to
Japan's navy, bringing 1t up to a
point where 1t compares favorably
with the British and American fleets.
At latest accounts 1t Is about half
completed.
"Janan is looking forward to this
conference with high hopes and ex-

our people are eagerly waiting for
successful conclusion of some under.
standing or agreement which will
prove practicable and effective in en-
forcing limitation of armaments."

program, provided proper under
