WAYS AND MEANS
According to MIR. Hardinx's
Suggestions Ten Per Cent of
the Custom Receipts Would
Go to the Merchant Marine:
Not More Than Fifty Per
Cent of Immigrants Would
be Transported by Foreign
Ships.

Washington, Feb. 28.-The ad-
ministration plan for government aid
for the American merchant marine
was presented by President Harding.
today to congress with the declara-
tion that the influence of the United
States in world councils is sure to be-
measured by that unfailing standard
that is found in the nations uer-
chant marine"
Having failed at such enormous
cost I bring a proposal that, cpntem-
plates the return to a private, initia-
tive and private enterprise aided to
a conservative success wherein we
are safe guarded against promotion of
private greed and do not discourage.
the hope of profitable investment
which underlies all successful en-
deavor.''
The salient points of this proposal
embodied in the bills introduced in
each house Immediately after the
Presidents speech were as follows:
Aid estimated at $32,OOO,OO0 an
nually to be provided principally by
diversion of 10 per cent of the ma
tion's custom receipts
Requirement that not more than SO.
per cent of the immigrants be tran
sported in foreign ships;
Sale of tonnage now held by the
shipping board and use of funds as a
construction loan fund;
Authorization or induction of the
American merchant marine officers
and sailors into the naval reserve
with the attendant allowance in pay.
The President then detailed a num-
Der of probable means of aid men
tioning the following:
Amendment of the inter state COM
merce act to permit railways in the
state to own and operate steamship
lines engaged in other than coast
wise trade;
Making effect of the section of the
merchant marine act providing for
preferential rail and steamship rates
On through shipments;
Insurance available at no greater
cost than is afforded ships under for
eign flags.
Mr.. Harding emphasized the ap-
pearance of national merchant marine
in view of suspended naval construc-
tion declaring without it mo nation
may hope to hold a high place in thu
world of commerce and afford ade-
!quate Defense
"The merchant marine is uniyer

THAT story of a military convention
L signed by representatives of the
Russian soviet army and the German
general staff in Berlin April 3, first
sprung by the London Times and Wig
6fousiy denied, will not down. Now
the Paris Journal L'Eclair prints what
purports to be the text of the pact.
In it the Germans agree to furnish
the Red army with arms and material
for $50 regiments of infantry and
heavy field artillery for 20 infantry
divisions; to train 60 Russian instruct
ors in the latest developments of chem
zeal warfare and to send technical ex-
perts to Russia to speed up the NUM-
ton plants and open new ones. The
German general staff pledges to reor-
ganize the Russian Baltic and Black
seal fleets and to supply at the earli-
est possible date 500 new airplanes
together with a supply of spare parts,
and 100 field wireless outfits.
The Russian army staff guarantees
the establishment in Russia of three
German plants, one for the manufac-
ture of airplanes, n for poison gas
and n for arms, on condition that
the Russian army can use the output
when needed. German specialists would
be admitted to "the new arms factory
in Afghanistan." The two STATS, 1t
is agreed, will prepare a joint plan of
operations to give Russia access to
the Baltic sea.

al document.
wholly unsatisfactory" was the
verdict of the French and Belgians, but
M. Barthou and his colleagues awaited
word from Paris before withdrawing
from the conference.
On the other hand the British,
though far from satisfied with the an
swer of the soviet delegates, ~professed
to see in it a chance for further nego-
tiations which might well lead to an
amicable settlement. They called the
Russian note distinctly conciliatory.
Concerning the crucial clauses of the
allied note dealing with the restora-
ton of foreign property confiscated by
the ~soviets, the Russians made the gen.
eral proposition that all financial mat
ters between Russia and the powers be
placed in the hands of a mixed COM
mission of experts, but they rejected
the proposed mixed commission to de-
termine the payment for nationalized
property because it would make the
sovereignty of the Russian state a
plaything of chance" Since the other
powers refuse the immense loan the
Russians demanded, the latter with
drew their renunciation of counter
claims based on allied help given the
various anti-bolshevik leaders.
Lloyd George was hopeful that, if
the financial questions were turned
over to a mixed commission, the con-
ference might be carried along until
his nonaggression pact is made a
reality. The Italians are supporting
him, while Japan shows signs of stand
ing with France and Belgium in de-
handing immediate and definite reply
by Russia.

NAGGED by congress through a
~ resolution for an investigation of
Attorney General Daugherty'S failure
to proceed legally against those who
have been robbing the government in
wal contracts, that official made a
report to President Harding in which
he blamed the delay ON congress.
The attorney general laid the blame
for failure, to prosecute upon congress
and promised an energetic campaign
against war prof1teers as soon as nee
essary legislation is enacted. He
called for prompt action on the meas
ure creating twenty-three addition
al federal ~judgeships, the bill estab-
fishing a special grand jury in the
District of Columbia to grind out In
dictments against accused contractors,
and an additional appropriation of
100000 to enable the department of
justice to continue its inquiries.
Mr.. Daugherty called attention to
the fact that nearly all the transac-
lions III question took place during
the preceding administration and that
naturally little was done then to bring
them to light. He promised that he
would SOC make public the names of
influential %personages who had knowl-
edge of the transactions but were per-
sonally interested in c%oncealing them.

T EADERS of building trade unions
~ in the Chicago district who have
been fighting the Lands wage award
appear to have oyerreached themselves
at last. Not content with bomb throw
ing, incendiariSm and blackmail, some
of them or their hired gunner last
week killed two policemen who in
terrupted their operations, and wound
ed a third. The brutal murders
aroused Chicago to the determination
to wipe out the outlaw bands. Swift
police raids caught a large number of
labor leaders, including some who are
ex-convicts and others who are now
under conviction of crimes or awaiting
trial. Among the prisoners, asserted
the police, are the men really respon-
sible for the reign of labor terrorism
which has gripped Chicago for so
long a time.
Samuel Gompers of course always
has refused to c~ountenance violence in
labor disputes, but it is hard to see
how he came entirely avoid some moral
responsibility for these crimes in Chi
cago, in view of the open encourage
ment he recently gave the unions that
are seeking to %repudiate their agree
ment to accept the verdict which
might be rendered by Judge Lands,
