|DICTATION OF US. If

Shipping Board Commits
sioner Says 1872 War
Questions Face Nation.

Foreign dictation to America is
foreseen by former Senator George E.
Chamberlain, of Oregon, now a COM
missioner of the Shipping Board.
if America fails to insure a mer-
chant marine. both by subsidy and
by every other means found neces-
sary."
An inadequate merchant marine
will place the United States at dis
advantage, and even at the mercy
of foreign powers, Chamberlain de-
clared here yesterday in an address
before the City Club forum.
Wars are not going to cease as
long a human greed continues" he
asserted. land not even the four
power pact is a guarantee of peace"
Chamberlain quickly followed this
comment with a seriss of startling
statements in which he declared:
l. That Great Britain might well
offer its island possessions which
menace" the American coast in
exchange for its debt to the United d
States.
2. That the same questions that
caused the war of 1912 are up again
in relation to enforcing the Vol
stead Act on the water.
3. Civilization will be wiped out
in the next war unless the nations
engaged observe existing agree
ments pertaining to the newest
methods of warfare.
In connection with his reference
to Britain's strategic group of is
land possessions off the Atlantic
Coast of the United States, Cham
berlain assured has audience that II
did not come from unfrie endliness
to our cousins of the same blood y
But America must guard herself
against every power on earth" he
continued For these reasons. II
for none other. America must have
