LAWRENCE SEES
AN ULTIMATUM
FROM HARDING
Ship Subsidy Speech
Is Warning to Re-
publicays.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.


Copyright, 1922, by The Argus.)
Washington. d. c.. Nov. I'll
President Harding today placed
squarely before congress an ulti-
matum-either pass the bill sal
vaging the American Merchant
fleet from further loss or take the
responsibility of destructive al
tentative. The message OF the
president is fraught with the most
dangerous consequences to the Re-
publican party. The party must
stand by its leader or wreck the
administrations chances of sue
ceeding itself.
Mr.. Harding is fully aware Of
the hostility of members of the
Republican party from the middle
west to the ship subsidy program.
Courageously he has chosen to
fight. And the bombardment of
facts which the president has start
ed will not end with a mere mes
sage. 1t will be followed by per-
sonal conferences in heat-to-
heart appeal to stand by the presi-
dent, by the administration and by
the people of a united Republican
party. Insurgents there are. Preju-
dices are numerous. But against
them all the president arrays the
facts.
Attacks Weakness.
Discreetly Mr.. Harding attacks
the weakness of the situation,
namely the name of the legislation,
ship subsidy He tries to
convert this weakness due to
prejudice into a point of
strength. He argues that gov
ernment appropriations for good
roads are a subsidy, the War Fin
ance corporation granted subsidies
the money spent for inland water
ways improvement is subsidy
and so on with dozens of other ex-
penditures which appear to benefit
a class but on behalf Of which il
is claimed that ultimately the
whole country benefits.
Mr.. Harding, it is conceded in
Washington, made out in his mes
sage the strongest case for his bill
that might have been made. He
epitomized and emphasized all the
arguments which for nearly year
have enyeloped the project of gov.
ernment aid to shipping. But the
keynote which will be taken up by
his party associates was the idea
Of reducing government expendi-
tures-the idea of economy rather
than further spending.
Lasker Approves Bill
, The president contends that the
government is spending fifty mil.
lions a year and wearing out its
own ships. He proposed by the
new legislation that the govern.
ment spend more than thirty mil.
lions, an economy of twenty mil.
lions. To overcome that argumen,
the opponents OF the bill must show
an alternative equally good if moi
better. Congress has permitted
the shipping situation to drift evel
since the war. Under Chairman
Lasker's guidance operations have
become more efficient and business
like but even Mr.. Lasker insists
that as a business proposition

burn ChiYd, American ambassador

ican minister to Switzerland, OBJ
servers at the near east conference,
conferred with Premier poincare
this morning.
Lausanne, Nov. 21.-(By the AS
sociated Press delegate to the
Lausanne conference, with prelim-
mary 0ratory concerning close re-
lations of Great Britain, France
and Italy behind them, faced today
the real test of the strength of ties
which spokesmen for the three
powers have insisted existed among
them.
Meet in Private.
The conference met in private
session today to organize and to
start actual work of making peace
with the Turks. For centuries
Turkey has protected herself by
getting European nations to quar-
rel among themselves over the
near eastern question. The rivalry
Of France, Italy and Great Britain
for supremacy there, has been the
protection of weak sultans and il
remains to be seen whether it will
also be of service to Mustapha ke-
NAL Pasha and his Angora associ-
ates.
Ismet Pasha and the Turkish
delegations appear less confident
than when they arrived and the
feeling is growing that they will re-
duce their program materially in
the hope Of restoring peace and re-
establishing trade relations.
1t is evident they are beginning
to realize it was Greece and not the
great powers which they defeated
recently in Smyrna.

At 2:15 this afternoon
the records in the office OF

jury summons was also
served upon Police Magis-
trate Cleland. The records
of the magistrates office are
said to be wanted to verify
fines witnesses have, stated
they have paid for different
offenses. 1t is expected by
the state to show that many
of the so-called fines were
only shakedowns by the
Rock Island vice ring. Wit
nesses have told of paying
large sums at police head
quarters with the UNDER
standing that the money
was to 60 to the city as fines.
1t is believed that the rec
-ords of the police magistrate
will not show entries to cor
respond with all of these re-
ported assessments.
The register of the New
Harper for a period extend
ing back two years was also
seized this afternoon by the
state. Ben VOTERS, clerk at
