j. s. TO SAVE MILLIONS
THROUGH SHIP SUBSIDY,
HARDING TELLS CONGRESS
Present Annual Expenditure of $5O,OOO,OOO a
Year Would Be Wiped Out by Merchant Ma
rine Legislation, Says President; Only Method
of Giving America Place on High Seas.

AS to present government operation
of the shipping board fleet, Mr.. Hard
ing said there was the unavoidable task
of wiping out a $5O,O00,O0O annual
loss, and losses aggregating many
hundreds of millions" in worn out, sac
rificed or scrapped shipping. He called
attention that the government ships
were being worn out without any pro-
vision for replacement and that pro-
gram of surrender and sacrifice and the
liquidation, which he declared would be
inevitable unless the proposed legisla-
ton were enacted, would cost scores Of
billions. The cost Of the proposed
legislation giving direct aid. he said,
with ocean carrying maintained at the
present average would not reach 500
100000 year and the maximum di-
rect aid if American shipping were so
promoted that it carried one-half the
nations deep sea commerce would not
exceed S3000O,000 annually.
The president followed his custom
Of reading from manuscript the mes
sage having been typed on small sheets.
At times he put great emphasis on
some of the statements in his speech.
He was applauded when he said he had
come to reassert an American 1--WE
will" but for the most part the SEN
ators and representatives heard him in
silence.
For the first time since the presi-
dent has visited the capitol to address
congress. Mrs. Harding was absent
Ambassador Jusserand of France was
with party in the diplomatic gallery.
A delegation of shipping board officers
headed by Chairman Lasker had seats
on the floor directly behind the repub-
lican group.

u. S. ENVOY SPEAKS

Lausanne, Nov. 21-tBy The Associ-
ated Press. THE United States played
q brief part in the Near Eastern peace
conference Tuesday, Richard Wasbburn
Child, American ambassador to Italy.
making declaration before the as
sembled delegates of the position of
the official observers representing
America
American participation in the con-
ference will consist of joining in the
discussions and safeguarding as far as
possible rights which the United States
feels must be protected in the inter
ests of America and the rest of the
world. The American observers will
not vote or act as members Of any
of the commissions.
Two sessions of the conference were
held Tuesday. At the first. the or
ganization of three commissions was
arranged, the first on political and
matters. with an English chair
man: the second. on economics. finance
man, and the third, on capitulations,
minority populations and similar ques
tons, under an Italian chairman.
The afternoon session was devoted
largely to a general discussion.
afCCtu ~ GNSStSt U iS0tSCIau
1t is learned that Greece probably
will oppose vigorously sny Tuskish
proposal at the conference to hold a
plebiscite in western Thrace to decide
the future of that territory and will
combat any claim of Turkey for in
demnity or reparations growing out of
the recent hoStiiities. Negotiations are
under way between Greece. Jugo- Sluvia
and Rumania. TO defend their common
in connection with the return
of the Turks to Europe. under the be-
lief that this may constitute menace
to them in the future.
Opposition to the western Thrace
plehiscite is based on the contention
that the Lausanne conference was not
summoned to revise all past treaties
affecting the Balkan territories. but
merely TO revise the treaty of Sevres.
Greece officially regards the recent war
in Asia Minor Us continuation of the
great war, i'll which Turkey, as the
ally of Germany. was an aggressor. and
considers that therefore any Turkish
claims for reparations are unacceptable
and iu-founded There is tendency
in Greek circles to consider that the
vital issues at Lausanne will be between
Turkey and the great powers, as Greece
already mas PAID the penalty OF defeat
by being forced out of Asia Minor and
,y losing eastern Thrace.
Greece also will resist Italian re-
pudiation of the treaty whereby Italy
agreed to cede the Dodecanez islands
in the Mediterranean 10 Greece. Adj
vices from Athens show the existence
of apprehension there that the alleged
Italian demands for greater extension
If Italian rights in the Mediterranean
nay be at the expense of the Greek ma
ion.
Another source of the greatest anx
ETY. to the Greeks is the future safety
md prosperity of Greek residents of
Nonstantinople, for which adequate
will be asked at Lausanne.

adding that the maritime nations of
the world were in complete accord

Opposed BY Other Nations
He declared those nations had
perfect right to such an attitude, but
that he wished to stress the Ameri-

be the viewpoint from which one
sees American carriers at sea, the de-
pendence Of American commerce and
American vessels for American reil-

j. Ramsey Macdonald Chosen
President of LabOrites
by Close Vote.

London, Nov, 21.-(By The Asso-
ciated Press 1t is a strange turn of
the political wheel which within four
years of the world war places james
Ramsay Macdonald. pronounced pa
cifist and opponent of that war, in the
position Of leader of his majesty's op-
position" in the British parliament,
and, in sense, the prospective prime
minister Of England in the event Of the
present conservative administration
suffering defeat in the house of com
mons on any weighty question during
the coming five years
1t is the custom when the govern
ment resigns or is defeated in parlia-
ment for the retiring prime minister
to advise the king to summon the
leader Of the opposition to form a
new government
Mr.. MacDonald's election was a
surprise, the re election of John Rob
ert Clynes having been expected. Mr..
Clynes is considered very able and
is highly thought of. but it is possible
that his close connection with the
coalition government as food control
Ter during the war may have had some
thing to do with the preference
Voting Very Close
The voting was exceedingly close,
G1 for Macdonald and IS for Clynes,
and it is understood 10 have been the
Scottish labor members who turned the
scales in favor of the former. These
Scottish members are for forcing the
pace in parliament on unemployment
and other questions of interest to the
party, on which it is supposed Mr..
Clynes would have counselled going
more slowly.
There is little doubt that the labor
party as whole favored Ramsay Mae
Donald, owing to his superior parlia-
mentiary skill, his gifts as n SPEAKER
and his extensive knowledge Of foreign
affairs, but there was a strong eIe-
ment in favor of rejecting Mr.. Clynes,
ut least for the first session of the
his services to the party during recent
years.
Twice Defeated for Pacificism
Mr. Macdonald, who thus for the
second time has been elected chair
man Of his party, is a strong social
ist as well as an anti militarist. He
has had stormy career. He was re-
jected by Il large majority at Leicester
IN the KHAKI election or 1919, oW-
ing. to his antiwar attitude. and was
again badly defeated when he con-
tested the Woolwich constituency in
the bye election of 1921. This he did
not sit in the parliament just dissolv-
ed.
He was elected for Aberavon by a
large majority despite the fact that
Mr.. Lloyd George made special jour-
ney to that constituency TO speak
against him and his war record, which
the former premier declared untitled
him for parliament.
Mr. CIynes, in an interview, pro
fessed his hearty dislike for party
quarrels and declared his intention
Loyalty to cooperate with Mr.. Mac
Donald for the advantage of the whole
party.
