AS soon as Representative Focht
gets back he probably will see
House leaders with a view to get
ting District legislation before that
body before this session ends.
IL was pointed out last week thai
the House could have a District day
and yet not interfere with Represen'

held in the House a ma ajority of the
members invariably fail TO show up
except members of the House Dis

There is one matter affecting the
District which is now receiving na

In Congress there seems to b.
a disposition to pass the matter up
The resolution is now before the

SUBSIDY IS
URGENT NEED, .
He SAYS
A. A. Shantz, Detroit Expert,
commends Hearst Papers
for Their Backing.
BY Universal Service.

DETROIT. Dec. 4.-If American
commerce is to expand through the
medium Of American ships this
country must develop q subsidized
merchant marine. Such is the opin.
ion of A. A. Schantz. president and
general manager Of the Detroit and
Cleveland Navigation Company.
Schantz is one of the most promi.
'nent vessel men in this part of the
country. He has made the question
of shipping and kindred maritime
problems a life study and has been
particularly ardent in his support Of
the shipping bill.
In my mind" said Schantz to.
day, there Is no question but that
the American merchant marine
must perish without an adequate
governmental subsidy, The handi.
caps ander which It now subsists
are SO hampering that until it re-
ceives substantial assistance 1t can.
not survive.
"The Hearst newspapers deserve
a national vote of thanks for the in
telligent and courageous manner In
which they have backed the ship.

JAPANESE ARE LOAFING

HONOLULU, Dec. 4.-Japan is
In the throes of a wild orgy of
spending and loafing. according to
s. Yamamoto, president of the MO
toshige Shoten, one of the largest
Japanese wholesale establishments
in Honolulu. who has just returned
from a business trip to the Orient.
Commodities have reached the
peak Of high prices, and the labor

orbitant pay. Carpenters in Toxic,
according to Yamamoto, receive
from four to five yen S2 to $3.50
a day and refuse to work over five
hours.
frofiteering on a huge scale Is
practiced by virtually every whole
sale establishment in the islands,
says Yamamoto, some houses re-
alizing from SO to 100 per cent
profit. Japan must economize or

Secretary Hughes and Newberry

Did President Hardngs brilliant secretary of state vol

into ii by the Old Guard certain and sundy sinister
reasons of the Old Guards own.
You see. premier of the Hading cabinet Mr. Hughes
has done really great work work which showed nm
head and shoulders above most of his party associates IN
the government out -
So there have been heard the beginnings of rumongS
sounding very much like Hughes for President on the
republican ticket in 1924 49,
Now frankly. the Old Guard does not like Hughes. lie
is too blamed independent They can't always tell what he
will do -
the Old Guard desired to get Mr. Hughes out OF the
way what better than TO link him up with Newberfy by
so doing they would kill two birds with one stone; Help
Newberry and thereby obtain abi for themselves ior
having voted him, and eliminate Mr. Hughes IRON
1924 considerations at and the same time.
But could they get Mr. Hughes to come to Newberrys
defense? Easily Had not Mr.. Hughes, as praetcing
attorney defended Newbeny? He had Could he refuse
TO NOW that his client Of yesterday was deserving
fellow? He could not. AT least not very well.
1t will be observed that Mr.. Hughes defense OF New
berry stuck very closely to the LEGAL phase OF the con-
troversy. II did not touch the MORAL side at all.
But just the the secretary has hurt himself
