Harrison Says All Testimony Has Not Been Taken-Be- Iieves Bid Might Be Put

 BnO nnytdeOu HutIdinC


 Washington, May 7.-(special)-- Conclusions based on testimony taken by tho Senate committee on agricul- ture. respecting the various offers for Muscle Shoals. which comprised the subject matter of press association dispatch out of Washington last night, were conclusions of Senator George W Norris, chairman of the committee. and not the committee it. self. according to . statement to- night by Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi, who Is a member of the committee.
 we have not concluded the task of taking testimony" said Senator Har- rison The committee has not even met for formal conference much less reached decision. Of course. there fore it would be inaccurate for one to state that neither Of the offers will be accepted.
 T am strongly supporting the offer of Henry Ford, with or without amendment and believe that were 1t amended in certain respects, we could put 1t through. The conclusions of Senator Norris were reached and Aid0o bOAic NcchA d6O. 4ht stands for government ownership and operation of the nitrate plants, and holds that on account of the conges- ton of senatorial business, 1t will be impossible for the Senate to take action relative to either of the pri- vate offers for Muscle Shoals before the beginning of another session. In this latter view, great many other senators agree. It is regarded as an almost self evident fact.''
 Like the House committee on mili- tary afairs. the Senate committee on agriculture, k dissa tisfied that Ford would acquire Gorgas. on which the Alabama Power company has an op- ton, that he insists on a lease of 100 rather than 50 years, and that he has not as yet agreed to produce a definite number of tons of finished fertilizer during the life of the con- tract.
 Despite obvfqts N tndicaps to bs en- counts red in tho Senate, however. Ford supporters in the House are working to the end that the House act quickly so that the Senate will have no excuse to procrastinate.
 Thomas W. Martin, of Birmingham, president. and S. H. Dent, Jr., of Montgomery. counsel, for the Ala bama Power company, are expected to return to Washington Monday or Tuesday.

LANSING DEFENDS POLICY OF U. s. ON
 ISLAND OF HAITI
America Sought to Terminate Savage Conditions and to Defend Monroe Doctrine,
 Former Secretary Says
By Associated Press

Washington, May 7.--Amerlean in- stervention and administration in Haiti were defended by Robert Ian sing, former secretary of state, in . letter to Senator Mccormick, repub- lican, Illinois, chairman of the Sem ate committee investigating Haitian matters made public today Estab- lishment of peace and prosperity In Haiti and blocking of German de- signs and aggression threatening the United States and the Monroe doc Urine were declared by Mir. Lansing to be the motives behind the Amer ican policy The two dominating ideas of the American procedure. Mir. Lansing said, were:
 "f. To terminate the appalling con ditions of anarchy, savagery and op- pression which had been prevalent in Haiti for decades, and to undertake the establishment of domestic peace in the republic in order that the great bulk of the population which had been downtrodden by dictators and the innocent victims of repeated revolutions. should enjoy prosper ity and an economic and industrial development to which every people of an American nation are entitled.
 ForestalI Foreign Powers
 "2. A desire to forestall any att tempt by foreign power to obtain foothold in the territory of an American nation which. if seizure of customs control by such power had occurred, or if grant of coal ing station or naval base had been obtained, would have most certainly been a menace to the peace Of the western hemisphere, and In fragrant defiance of tho Monroe doctrine"
 Landing of American naval forces in Haiti in 1915, MT. Lansing stated, was an "urgent necessity" as' he said, anarchy and revolution" was in full sway, with Americans im- periIed and the French legation vio- lated by mob which captured and murdered former President Sam. IT the United States had not intervened, other foreign nations would nave done so. MT. Lansing said. and 10 have permitted such foreign inter vcntion would have meant abandon ment of the Monroe doctrine.
 The United States had to act ana to act with vigor," said MT. Lansing
 German aggression in Haiti also was a serious factor and one nor generally known, Secretary Lansing continued, stating that Germany sought a naval base concession rom the Hatians at the Mole St. Nicholas. a base which would have threatened the American position in the Car : ibbean and also would have Vioia'eu the Monroe doctrine.
