Dear Sir:
Yours of Decc,nbcr 5 at hand and
carefully read You say that since
we last met you have been consult

Charleston concerning the subject of
fisheries. That is all very well, but
what will it be worth to the other
i've committeeman who are on tho
same work? We have not had the
opportunity Of hearing what they had
10 say, and how can we sign a report
rom what someone else heard
Again YOU say it is perfectly clear
20 you that our commission cannot

what is the cause Of the decline Of

say we are laymcn and any opinion

that you have SO little confidence
in yourself and the rest Of the COM

some of as good brain is on that com
mittee as the senate CT house affords.
And the trust has been plac I'd in
our hands. Why not do it and do it
right? and then we need not fear
the house or senate.
Now it is g pity you did not see
some Of this before you introduced
the bill that created this committee
at great cost to the state.
Again you say it is obvious that

MILK B|G AID IN WAR ON
 INFANT MORTALITY
[RepubIican A. p. Leased wlrel

LONDON, July 6.-A paper by Ma than Straus of New York dealing with the improvement of infant health conditions through the use of pasteurized milk was read by Dr. S. G. H. Moore, health officer of Hud- dersfield, at the conference on infant welfare held here today under the patronage of the king and queen.
 MT. Straus' paper stated that it was his original purpose, when the milk campaign was inaugurated in 1892, to check the ravages from summer com plaint which attacked infants in their second summer. At that time, Mir Straus asserted, a large percentage of children succumbed from inter- tinal trouble in their second sum : mer when the change was made from mothers milk to "the infected milk of the cow.''
 'As the germ tn @ry became the subject of extensive scientific re- search. it became evident that germs caused other diseases, in addition to tuberculosis and intestinal poison.
 Typhoid, scarlet, diphtheria, septic sore throat and measles, all these diseases were found to be caused by germs in milk.
 There are records of numerous | l tablished that the milk supply haG 1 been the carrier of the germs. The most striking of all was my expert ence during the ilffantile paralysi: l epidemic which secured New Yorl during the summer of 1916. Of 210' 1 children who were entirely fed or 1 pasteurized milk prepared at m, l laboratory not single case of tn disease developed. When this fac | became known I was besieged b, | frantic mothers for information" I MT. Straus told of the establish
 ment of his milk depots in variou
 parts of New York City, wher |, trained attendants advised the moth CTS in the caro of infants.
 MT. Straus told of the oppositio , which arose from the selfishness an , ignorance of dairymen and mil
 dealers and said it was an incessan fight to compel them to pasteuriz
 their milk.

 House Naval Bill
TRepubIIcan A. P. Leased WIre7

WASHINGTON. July 6.-Although agreeing to the bulk of the provisions in the $409. .000. 900 naval appropria ton bill as voted recently by the house in attempting to dispose of differ ences between the two bodies, the senate today refused to yield on 19 amendments and sent the measure back to the house with q request for further conferences. The amend ments on which the senate declined to recede include provisions for two airplane carriers. aviation stations and increased expenditures for battle ships under construction.
 Leaders had not determined tonight how to meet the technical deficit in funds for the navy resulting from the lapse of appropriations with the close of the fiscal year, June 30. It might be necessary, it was said. to adopt a resolution continuing last years ap- propriations temporarily until the pending bill is enacted.
 Among the major provisions of the bill disposed of-finally by the senate's s action on the conference report today were the Borah disarmament amend ment and that fixing the navy enlist ment personnel at 106.000 men.

 Gompertz and George were booked at the city prison and released on $50 bail each.
 Nelson said he was refused mate rial necessary to complete urgent contracts because she would not promise to construct his buildings on the open shop plan.

Would Have serious Effect

 In passing the bill the Alabama senator said the Republican majority would write in the country's his tory that men no longer sacrifice but measure their service in dollars" Re- plying briefly. Senator McCumber. Republican, North Dakota, in charge of the bill, denied that any attempt was being made to measure the serv- ices of soldiers Of the world war in dollars.
 Mir. Mellon estimated that the bill would cost the country between a billion and a half and five and a quarter billion dollars. that it would swell the cost of government and virtually defeat the adninistra tion's program of retrenchment and enom- omy." and that it would block .all re- funding operations on the national debt and depress further the prices on liberty bonds.r
 These. he said, would be inevitable direct financial consequences,r add ing that probable indirect results would be grave danger of renewed inflation- increased commodity prices and unsettled business conditions All of his estimates. the secretary explained. were devoted merely to the cash payment sections of the bill and took mo account of expenses of ad- ministration or possible cost of af- fording vocational training. farm or home aid. land settlement aid to vet erans who elect such benefits"
 T should be derelict in my duty to the country and to the veterans themselves if I failed to give this warning of the inevitable financial consequences of the pending bill," he concluded
 ''The result would be serious in- jury and loss to the whole community l and in the long run the veterans ! themselves would lose far more than they would gain. I cannot bring my self to believe that this would be adjusted compensation for a service that was performed as the highes, duty of citizenship and a sacrifice that can never be measured in terms 1 of money"
 l Would Increase War Burden
 Not the least disturbing feature, he continued was the bills plan to post pone actual distribution of funds un- til next year, which he said "tends to mislead the people into the belief that lin some way the proposed program I can be accomplished without impos- ing serious burden on the country
 "It must inevitably increase the war burden which the people have to l bear" he contended. 'It could be i financed only by addition to the bur 1 den of debt and taxes under which the country is now staggering How

 Cost of refunding the early maturi- ties of public debt. the secretary said, would be vastly increased. and the refunding operations themselves seriously embarrassed' Holders of liberty bonds. he added, would have to face the threat of further depres- sion"
 Tt seems particularly inappropri- ate" he said, "to give present consid- eration to the measure when we still have before us the pressing problem of revising the internal tax laws and finding sufficient revenues to meet the existing requirements of govern ment- This problem must be dealt with in the midst of extreme and widespread industrial depression. These conditions affect not only in- uustry in our own country, but are world wide. and our past experience furnishes no sure guide as to their duration.
 Our first concern. of course, should be to make full provision for the needs of disabled veterans To that object the country is pledged to give without stint of its resources It would be unfortunate in the extreme. while we are still struggling with that problem. Sto dissipate our re- sources in sweeping plan for cash payments to ablebodied sailors and soldiers"
 Challenges Republicans
 Senator Underwood described the bill as "politicaI camouflage-" The plan of "peddling out" cash payments of $50 quarterly. he said. would not aid the soldiers. He challenged the Republicans to propose lump sum payment, which he said he would support. and which he declared would provide a stake" which might enable soldiers to get into business or buy | a home

 continued. would be to bring the country back to stable financial busi- ness conditions. where men would get a fair wage"
