BUSY SH|PYARDS
AMERICAS NEED
Lasker Says Adequate Mer-
chant Marine Means Sea
Prestige
INLAND STATES ADVISED
BY the Associated Press

Milwaukee, Wis, Dec. 13.-1n the
prairie towns, cities, villages, towns and
farms of our inland States the future of
America on the seas will be decided
Albert d. Lasker, chairman of the
United States Shipping Board, told the
Milwaukee Chamber of Commerce here
today. The points farthest from the
ocean will decide the fate of American
shipping on salt water, he said.
THE dwellers of our coastal cities
are naturally for permanently estab..,
lishcd American merchant marine,
continued Mr.. Lasker. ''1t is the in
land dweller, removed from direct con :
tact with ships, who has felt disin-
terestedness in American shipping that
has almost amounted to an adverse pref
udice If American shipping required ma
tional aid to insure its life.
Granting that the 5-5-3 naval pro-
gram, or some equivalent, be adopted,
and that we have naval holiday for
n term of years, the question of naval
equality is not solved because If in ad-
dition to the equalized navies any one
nation possesses n merchant marine OF
convertible strength vastly beyond that
of another nation, the nation possess :
ing that added convertible merchant
tonnage has the preponderance of naval
power.
1--WE should remember that II we en-
ter en-year naval holiday. and If we
fail to establish merchant marine,
American shipyards will be largely
closed, and the art of shipbuilding
will virtually be lost TO us. Should
again the day come when in the national
defense we must make use of our navy.
we would be lacking in the yards and
the trained workers to renew its
strength; and the nations which during
the holiday period had kept their yards
alive with merchant. marine work would
have an unmatchable advantage over us.
''But the proponents Of an American
merchant marine must rest their case
far beyond the grounds of national de-
fense.
Stability and restored normal pros
perity must be based on development
of foreign trade and foreign markets in
n measure never before rcalizd by Amer
leans.
''As important as the railroads were
in the Wrestling Of the empire, so now,
in the cycle of events, transportation on
the sea becomes a paramount issue Of
the day. unless American statesman

IRISH BISHOPS FAIL
TO APPROVE TREATY
Prelates Issue Non-CommittaI
Statement After Conference
With Cardinal Logue
WANT DAHL TO ACT FIRST
Ey the Associated Press

Dublin, Dec. 13.-The Irish Bishops,
following a meeting presided over by
Cardinal Logue to consider their at
titude as to the Anglo Irish agreement.
issued this afternoon n statement of a
non -Committal character. 1t implorcd
the divine blessing upon the delibera
tionS Of the Dali Eireann. aud said
that body would be sure to have the
best interests of the country in mind.
Preliminary conversations among the
prclatcs disclosed that there was n
strong party opposed to Cardinal
Logue's views that they should make
prOnOunCement on the subject at the
present, on the ground that the Dali
Eireann should be allowed to come to a
decision without an attempt being made
to influence it.
In addition many of the Bishops eX-
pressed belief that whatever action they
might take would have little influence
upon the Dali, and that they should re-
serve any expression of views until the
question was put up to the people,
which they thought probable would be
the case.
The Executive Committee Of the
Gaelic League, also met, but any action
by this body, it is thought. will have
little actual effect on the vote in the
Dali.
The Dali session tomorrow will be
held in the council chamber of the
National University. 1t is believed
newspaper correspondents will be ad-
mitted.

Special Cab'- DiSpd'ch. Copyright, 1891
Dublin, Dec. 13.-So sure Is the
British Government Of the ratification
of the Anglo Irish peace treaty that it
is pushing forward with all haste prep
arations for the military evacuation of
Ireland. The Dublin Castle military
administration has warned AldershOt,
the great English military center, to
prepare Immediately to receive the
British troops now in Ireland, which
may arrive before Christmas.
There are about 100000 members of
fighting forces now in Ireland, includ-
ing troops, special police, auxiliaries
and black and tans. The old Royal
Irish Constabulnry, of course. will re-
main and will be either taken over OF
pensioncd by the Irish Free State.
Immediately after ratifying the
treaty, Dali Eireann will go out of ex-
istcnce, and will rcassembe at once as
a provisional Parliament, dropping one
or two Ulster members and taking in
four university members. The new
Parliament will then elect ministers,
who will simply walk into Dublin
Castle, taking over the various depart
ments from the British chiefs. although
retaining the administrative Staffs
pending reorganization. The Irish will
take over the barracks as the British
troops move out.
