IN Attack Embarrassing

sMooT REPLIES TO CRITICS
Defends ConceaIment OF Terms
of Settlement Until Accept

BY WINDER r. HARRIS.
Universal Service.


Neither Congress nor the coun-
try will be permitted to know the
terms of the proposal made by the
British for settlement of their
five thousand million-dollar war
debt to the United States until
the American debt funding COM
mission is ready to ask changes
IN the law permitting acceptances
Of the terms.
SMOOT REVEALS PURPOSE.
When the commission has con-
cluded, ian agreement with the Brit
ish delegation and submitted 1t to
Congress- for action. Democratic re-
presentation on the commission,
now composed exclusively OF Re-
publicans, likewise may be no long
or opposed by Administration
leaders.
These were the outstanding dis
closures yesterday during renewal
or debate in the Senate on the
secret negotiations now being carried
on by the American commission
and British delegation.
Senate on the Funding Commission,
revealed the purpose to withhold
Information of the British terms,
and also that appointment Of three
Democrats on the commission will
not be further resisted after the
British. debt Is disposed Of.
HEFLIN IN PROTEST.
Senator Heflin, Democrat, OF
Alabama, charged that the British
mission is being encouraged by
members Of the American commits
sion to baby this thing along
% that additional powers may be
granted by Congress for modifying
the conditions under which Great
Britain win be required to pay.
Senator Helm started the debate
by renewing the protest Of the
minority against being refused rep
resentation In the handling of the
eleven-thousand-mi llion-doIIar debts.
Senator Mcclellan, Democrat. of
Tennessee, asked Smoot If he
favored modification Of the present
law before the Senate and House
are told exactly what the British
position is. Smoot said:
why, no. At the very time
that 3 change IN the law IS pro
posed, the information certainly
viii be given to Congress"
Mcclellan retorted that It would
be far better for Congress and
the country to have the facts now,
rather than have the negotiations
30 on I'm the strictest secrecy. The
Democrats take the position that
IN the secret negotiations. the Gov.
eminent may be. involved in SO
many commitments that 1t win be

DEFENDS SECRECY.
The addition of Democrats t.
the commission after the British
transaction is closed would be like

smoot IL he would not concede
that there ought to be publicity foH
the British terms now.
NO." replied the Utah Senator
"I do not believe it would bt

was said in that negotiation were

SWIFT Under SAIL
Feat Of Clipper Ship Of a Gen.
GRAFTON Ago Recalled.
Sovereign of the Seas Averaged 1874
Knots an Hour, for Eleven Days,
Back in 1858.

The recent announcement that the
Leviathan, the worlds second largest
ship and the largest flying the Amer
lean flag, on her completion would
probably break all records for speed
!across the Atlantic, recalls the seven
tieth anniversary last month of rec
ord made by the great clipper ship
Sovereign of the Seas, flying before the
winds in the South Pacific, in which
she made run in IL days averaging
13% knots, or $50 miles, every "a
hours.
The Sovereign Of the Seas had been
built the year before in the East Bos-
ton yard of Donald Mckay, whose
famous brother, Lauchlan Mckay,
commanded the ship on her most
memorable passages. A lofty three
skysail yarder of 2,421 tons, the Sow
ereign of the Seas was then the
largest and unquestionably the swift
est and most powerful sail ship in the
world. She had gone out to the Pacific
on her maiden voyage, as most of the
clippers of that time were accustomed
to do, sailing from New York on
August A, 1852, for San Francisco. In
a squall in the South Pacific the huge
ship carried away her fore and main
topmasts and foreyard. But Captain
Mckay had a strong crew of 100 men,
so of them able seamen, and under his
skilled leadership the Sovereign was
completely remasted and re-rigged at
sea in IA days-arriving out at the
Golden Gate in a fine passage of 1903
days from Sandy Hook. But for the
dismasting she would have broken all
Cape Horn records for that season of
the year.
Instead of running across to China,
as the clippers often did, to reload for
the Atlantic coast, the Sovereign of
the Seas crossed only to Honolulu and
there obtained cargo of whale oil,
taken on the Pacific grounds by whale
ships from New England. 1t was on
this passage southwark for Cape Horn
that the Sovereign performed the
memorable feat of running 1852 miles
In IL days, in strong winds and gales,
continuing increasingly. In the four
days from March 16 to March 10 in,
elusive the mighty clipper ship sailed
1,47S miles, or, allowing for longitude
eastward and difference in time, an
average of 1914 knots. No ocean
steamer of that period could have done
this. On one day. March IS. the
Sovereign of the Seas is credited with
an average speed of 1913 knots fer
"a hours. In the Atlantic on this pas
sage light and moderate winds pre-
vailed, but the Sovereign of the Seas
passed Sandy Hook only 50 days out
from Honolulu.
Through those memorable IL March
days of 1853 in the South Pacific the
art Of sail-ship handling obtained it's
apotheosis in the work of Captain Nc
Kay, his four mates and his hundred
seamen. Never before had such sail
ing been seen; never again will it be
witnessed, because no such tall, keen
ships as those Yankee clippers will
ever again be constructed. Steam has
sounded their doom and the end of the
kind of crews that manned them.
