Portland, Ore.--TheF American Fed
Grafton of Labor in annual convention
here, resumed today with delegates
knowing exactly the strength of the
conservative element because of the
developments late yesterday when it
came TO grips with the radicals. The
latter were routed in the unseating of
William Dunno Of Butte, Mont, for
communistic activities by the vote of
27,93s yes. to 1870 no. When the ''one
big union" proposal for amalgama-
tion of unions came up there was not

classed as a party questin. But if
any party, repeatedly advocating a
world court is to be rended by the
suggestion of an effort to perform in

Home Comes First.
Our problems at home invariably
call for first consideration. Our own
house must be kept in order; our own
good fortune must be assured before
we can be large contributors to world
progress or measurably helpful to hui
mainly. ! have little patience with
the contention of those who believe
large commercial advantages will at
tend our larger assumption of world
responsibility. Nations are not cngag-
ed in bartering their trade advantages
for larger fellowships. We need do
1t ourselves and we need not ask what
we do not give. Commerce is the very
likelihood of every peoples existence,
and nations commercial opportuni-
ties are valued little less than the Sc
curity of its citizenship.
"A restored Europe with less con-
in conflict and more produc-
ton and consumption in hopeful peace
and banished hate, would add to the
solume of world commerce. We would

| II made aIlusion in the beginning
to political charts and the good faith
or political parties. Sometimes there
must be a variation from the charted
course because of the unexpected
development of impassionable souls.
This administration pledged by n
sponsoring party for quarter OF a
century to the building up OF mer-
chant marine was unable to secure
the enactment which was believed to
be the way to fufillment but 1t would
be small administration which would
surrender the aspiration for an Amer
lean merchant marine and scrap or
sacrifice our great merchant fleet In
pique of disappointment over the SEN
ate's failure to give approval.
For security of defense for the
avoidance of a like extravaganza and
Intellectual outlay in case of future

merce and our eminence on the seas

be an outstanding American require

propose to do our best to organize

we cannot sell, we will operate. and
operate aggressively, until congress
inhibits.
."Confessedly this is contradiction
of the proposal to have less govern
ment in business and more business in

of the shipping business in practical

it is the business of the government
to conserve our shipping assets and
