Weeks ISSUES
HEATED REPLY
To HI SCR|I|CS
Secretary Of War Denies Con-
nsction With War Contract.
Welcomes House Probe.

Striking back at his Congress
sional critics. Secretary of War
Weeks late yesterday declared
that the War Department Is doing
everything in it's power TO correct
abuses in wartime contracts. and
that II Congress wants to investi-
gate things the War Department
Is entirely willing to cooperate.
Out Of Stock Firm.
As for the personal side Of the
attack made on him in the House
by Congressman Woodruff (Rep-)
of Michigan, Weeks said he had
severed his connection with the
firm of Hornblower q Weeks in
1918 and never renewed 1t.
There Ia one personal matter con-
nccted with the charges made In
more or less direct form, about which
ment," said Weeks. ut relates 70
the sale Of the American Bosch Mag-
neto Company stock. i am told that
this company was sold by the Alien
Property Custodian at public auction,
the purchase being made through the
firm OF Hornbiower q Weeks, with
which was at one time connected.
and the statement has been made In
the press that as q result of that
transaction received q block OF
stock. To that have this comment
to make:
Got No Stock.
"I retired from the firm of Horn
blower q Weeks when I entered the
Senate I'm 1919 and from all other
business matters with which I was
connected, and have never renew
ed any Of those connections or made
others.
at never had any interest finan.
ciaily or otherwise I'm any war con-
tracts; i never received y block of
stock In the American Bosch Magne-
to Company, or any other stock is
sued during the war.
"I think my relationship with my
old firm, in which I have every con-
fidence as to its honesty and busi-
nesslike conduct. has been gener-
ally known, and that any attempt to
connect me with it's business or any
other business Is purely malicious"

LLOYD GEORGE WILL
+. CONFER IN PARIS

PARIS, April 6.-(By the Associat-
ed Press. prime Minister Lloyd
George, Of Great Britain, who will
arrive in Paris tomorrow afternoon
on his way to Genoa, will have a
talk with Premier Poincare at the
foreign office. 1t is understood the
premiers will discuss matters con-
nected with the Genoa gathering,
the German attitude on The repara-
tons issue and the subject Of the
inter-allied debts. 49,. -.
The French delegates are going
to the Genoa conference without
full powers, it develops from reports
from Premier Poincare,s final in
structions to them. This decision
of the government is being much
discussed in political circles, where
it is looked upon as likely to develop
complications.
T. is remarked that the allied
premiers, when they met at Cannes
and decided to call the conference,
insisted that the Russian soviet gov
eminent must send delegates with
pO"Cl " 1lS5Ol4dbC' AA1O ANNoo1eAIA
delegation, therefore, it is declared,
would be justified in taking excep-
ton to the presence of the delega-
ton of an important state without
full powers.
The ruling is interpreted by a por-
ton Of the press as reducing the
French delegates to the role Of OBJ
servers, which it is declared is not
in tune with M. Poincare's increased
enthusiasm for the economic con-
ference and his expressed desire to
cooperate heartily in making it a
success.
It is explained by persons close to
the premier that he was obliged to
make strict reservations regarding
the powers of the French delegation
because of the sensitiVeness Of
parliament, which sharply criticised
the preceding cabinet. for binding
France on important questions, such
as reparations, without consulting
the chamber of deputies.
The necessity for ratification by
parliament of any decisions taken at
Genoa is generally accepted. Politi-
cal circles are still skepticaI of the
efficacy Of the conference in spite of
M. Poincare's change Of attitude,
while the press continues to refer to
it as likely to be little more than "a
tower Of Babel"

THE COUNTRY HOME
BY MRS. w. H. FELTON,

in bow-and-arrow warfare, in the
early times of human warfare. One
side had it's inscription, and the other
side was different. Two warriors
fought over the inscriptions, looking
each on their own side. When they
were bleeding to death, they saw
they were both honest and it was the
sides that differed-the inscriptions
were not the same.
So I take it, there are two sides
to trades unions and strikes, and as
a general proposition there are two
sides to every mooted question.
This controversy has been going
on for a long time, and it is likely
to continue a good while yet. 1t is
the dispute between capital and la
Dor, in it's concrete form. One con-
tends for a business profit in putting
up the cash to run it, the other side
contends that the labor is the ne
cessity to make the business a sue
cess and labor should get as much
in wages as the cash should recover
in profit.
When the strike eventuates it is
a state of industrial war. 1t requires
armies sometimes, and sometimes
courts must adjudicate the differ!
ences between the litigants. We keep
standing armies lin theory to pre-
serve peace, but big standing armies
invite war. Germany is an instance,
likewise an illustration of this are>
ment.
When a labor strike occurs the an
tagonism may easily invoke hostili.
ties, but arbitration is better than
strikes in any contest, great or
small.
1t is contended that the wage is
all the worker gets, and he must
join the unions to keep bread and
meat where his wife and children
live. This labor contention has
made thousands of laboring men join
trades unions, to force wages up.
On the other hand, capital has a
right to reasonable compensations.
Between the two is the place to ar.
bitrate, and there is an expensive
interstate commerce commission
which was authorized to settle all
such troubles. Why don't they do
it?
