Declares Govt.
Ownership Ships
Costly Venture

New York. Feb. 2-Government
ownership and operation of shipping
was called a costly and wasteful"
experiment which should be brought
to an early end. by Alfred Hilbert
Smith, in an address before the AM
erican Steamship Owners Associa- :
ton, of which he was e-elected
president today. He said that ship
ping is a highly technical enterprise
and that the best shipping methods
are practiced only by private enter
ests.
The concentration of public inter-
est on political matters and a ma
tional election has precluded private
interests from crying out for the re-
tirement of the government from the
business Mr.. Smith declared. An
opportlne time for the private own
ers to be heard has yet to present
itself. he said.
"The time has come when MEM
bers Of the association must take
up the program in a serious endeav-
or to work out plan by which gov
ernment operation can be brought to
an early end" he said.
Other officers of the association
elected today were William New
come. United Fruit Co. Boston. first
vice president; Paul Fl. Harwood,
Pan American Petroleum and Trans
port Co, second vice president; and
J. Howland Gardiner, New England

Little Hope Progress
At Opium Conference

Geneva. Feb. 2 (By A. Po-With
the Geneva opium parleys now en-
tering their fourth month, the gen.
eral situation tonight still remains
hazy and from the standpoint of the
American delegation, critical. Repre-
senta tive Stephen G. Porter ex-
pressed keen disappointment today
when one country. India. rejected
and four others made reservations
on the American proposal that the
production Of opium be limited to
medical and scientific needs.
The Americans seem to feel that
they are far from obtaining the re-
lsults that they had hoped for on one
of the cardinal items of their pro-
gramme. They made reservations
today when the Subcommittee was
giving final touches to the draft ar
ticles for the creation and function
ing of an anti-narcotic board.
The object of these reservations
was to keep the anti-narcotic board
divorced as far as possible from the
league of nations as an institution
One point reserved was that the
council of the league shall in con-
sultation with the board make all
necessary arrangements for its Or
ganization and operation SO as to
assure technical independence of the
board, while providing for control of
the staff in administration matters

CONSERVATION KEY
NOTE CANADA'S PULP
TAX, REPLIES BECK

Montreal. Feb. edward Beck.
secretary of the Canadian Pulp and
Paper Association. today defended a
proposed special tax on all pulpwood
exported and branded as "propagan-
da" the recent protest filed with
eign relations committee at Washing
ton by the National Publishers AS
ISOLATION.
The American publishers. he said
at a luncheon of the Canadian Pulp
wood Association. had with their
protest. taken the initial step to
stampede the public Of the United
States and Canada by brandishing
the bogey of international hostility
should the Canada government un-
dertake to restrict the expectation of
manufactured pulpwood." Domin-
ion paper manufacturers have no ul-
innate motive in their campaign to
have the Canadian government place
"a tax on all expectations, he said.
adding:
"The last thing in the world they
desire is to bring ruin upon the
American paper manufacturers and
to make it more difficult for their
American customers to obtain paper
o: to prevent the owners Of freehold
pulpwood in Canada from obtaining
q fair American price for their wood.
"On the other hand they view with
great alarm the rapid depletion of
the pulpwood resources of Canada
and believe that the time has arrived
when these should be conserved for
the benefit of the Canadian people
and the continued existence of the
paper industries Of this country"
Ralph Bell of Halifax and Angus
Mclean Of Amherst. N. B.. said they
did not favor an embargo. The move,
Mr.. Bell said. would impair the mar
ket for the small holder of wood
lands. while benefitting no one ex-
cept Canadian pulp and paper inter-
estg. (which would be able to buy in
a non competitive market at their
own prices"
Mr.. Mclean contended that impo-
sition Of an import tax would be. In
effect. an embargo (which would
work an Injustice to the maritime
provinces. and private owners would
be at a great disadvantage If deprived

that in addition to the amount above

IN HERRIN, ILL,

Herrin, Ills, Feb 2.-(By A. P.)--
Nothing but sincere cooperation be-
tween all officials in Williamson
County can prevent more "butchery
in Herrin."" Sheriff George Galligan,
States Attorney Arlie Boswell. and
the county board of supervisors
agreed at a meeting today and they
decided to go down the line to-
ge:,:cr" in one more attempt to re-
store order in the county.
Attorney Boswell. elected with the
endorsement of the Klan, stated
that martial law is the only thing
that will prevent more shootings un-
less caution is taken by all factions.
Sheriff Galligan declared, THE
county is bigger than I am" and Of
fered to arbitrate differences be-
tween the board and himself as to
personnel of his staff of deputies if
the board agreed to do 'everything
within it's rower to influence the JUS
tice OF the peace not to issue any
more permits to carry arms
Whether the meeting will actually
calm the situation is "n open ques-
ton.
The board could give no assur-
ance. having no authority over the
justice of the peace, that it could
stop the issue of permits to carry
arms, and it is not certain that the
sheriff and the board can agree on
a deputy to replace Adron Smith,
who. with the slain Ora Thomas,
was under fire for some time.
The meeting did develop q spirit
of cooperation between the sheriff
and the board, which was largely
made up of Klansmeh, fact which
had not been apparent up to this
time.
