Gentlemen:
The Conference will be in order.
The Del-Mar-Va Eastern Shore AssoA
citation is now in session. AS acting
chairman it is my privilege to extend
welcome to the Associations guests
and to congratulate its membrs. This
gathering is unprecedented in the Pc
ninsula's history. All our fourteen
counties are, l believe, represented.
Norfolk, Baltimore and Philadelphia
are present with US in the persons of
their accredited commercial ambassa-
dors. We have in this room the visi-
BILE evidence of the inspiring business
fellowship which is the very soul of
our Organization.
Five months ago today, $50 men
representing eleven counties gathered
in this city for the purpose Of discuss
ing whether an organization such as
ours could be established and wheth-
er, if established, it could be main
tanned The decision arrived at on
December %, 1925 was for action. The
counsel of those who prevailed mas
couched in terms of opportunity. The
conference did not ignore difficulties.
It determind to overcome them. The
decision to proceed was based upon
facts too long ignored-facts which
were in themselves bond of union.
The Peninsula was an economic uit.
God made it so. The trade routes and
trade practices of two centuries had
recognized and confirmed the divine
decree.
The Conference of December 28th
recognized that our economic unity
was a gift. It was ours without eff
fort. Conscious union, however was
something to be achieved. And there
was need for union. The Peninsula
was an empire which was thinking in
terms of province. 1t had fertile
lands which were not intensively till
ed and it held those lands out of use
at time when northern and western
states were tilling from Is to 95 per-
cent of their available farm acreage.
The Peninsula stood at the threshold
of expanding markets. 1t was one
of the few desirable, accessible agri-
cultural reserves to be found any
where in the northern half of the
Western Hemisphere. We had story
to tell the world-and we had been
telling it only to ourselves. Money
talks, but only through organization
can money be obtained with which to
sing the praises of any particular dis
trict. We were faced by the cold, hard
fact that no where among us was there
q community in position to tell the
Peninsula's story to a national audi
ence. If we were to reach national
audience, it was necessary that we
operate through single agency which
could become our common spokesman
and which could serve as pathfinder
and the trailbreaker for those COM
munities which might desire to call
their particular communities to the at
tention of those whose gaze had been
centered upon the Peninsula as
whole.
When we met on December %, we
realized that we needed more than ad-
vertising and publicity outreach.
There was need for a service organi-
zation which through it's varied de- I
partments would be designed to en-
courage industry, promote agricul-
ture, foster education, stimulate the
increased use of our reactional and re-

organization and future program.
There are, therefore, three major
matters of business before us.
1. Acquaint the membership with
what has happened since December
18th.
z. Effect permanent organization.
8. Agree upon the outlines OF. the
Associations program for the re-
mainder Of the current year.
We speak with confidence today
concerning the necessity of effecting
permanent organization. The reports
of the Executive director, Of your
temporary treasurer, of the chairmen
of your committees will reassure you
upon that point. Five months ago we
wer not so certain. There were few
who believed that the Association
could secure pledges of financial sup
port totalling 100000 year for two
years. Many felt that $4,000 a
year budget represented maximum
achievement. Five months ago, more
over, there was little to indicate that
the Association idea would actually
find favor throughout the length and
breadth of the Peninsula. Today the
Association is practically assured Of
an annual income of 100000 a year
and the counties which have been
weighing their course have recently
given evidence of their intention to
join in the procession and march with
the Association The results achieved
have not been attained without effort.
And it is fitting that I express brief
word of appreciation to those who
by their vision and leadership have
made the Association possible. We
have first to thank the bankers OF The
Peninsula. For it Is literally -EeAO
that they made the Association move
ment possible. They first approved

CHANGE EXPECTED
ON D. c. COMMITTEE
One Democratic Senator
Likely to Resign Place in
Near Future.

A change in the Democratic mem
bership on the Senate District com,
mittee is expected to take place in the
near future, it was learned at the
Capitol yesterday.
Senator Robinson of Arkansas
minority leader, said in answer to a
query that he understood a vacancy
might occur on the District committee
soon through the resignation from the
committee of one of the present Demo
cratic members. He could not disclose
the name of the member.
Senator Robinson also stated he
could not say at this time who would
be assigned to the committee in the
event a vacancy occurs.
IT is understood Senator William
Cabell Bruce of Maryland has been
suggested by some local citizens for
consideration in making an assign
ment to the District committee. Com
ing from one of the States bordering
on the District Of Columbia, Senator
Bruce would be familiar with condi-
lions in the National Capital should
he be given a place on the District
committee.

Thomas f Woodlock of New York
who was given q recess appointment
70 the Interstate Commerce Commits
soin by President Coolidge after the
Senate had failed to confirm him, ex-
planned his qualifications yesterday
before the Senate interstate com
merce committee, where his nomina-
ton is again pending
Under questioning by Senator
Wheeler. Democrat, Montana, Wood
lock said he had been editor of the
Wall Street Journal, partner in q
brokerage firm. adviser 10 officials of
the company which built the Hog
Island shipyard during the war and
an independent writer on financial
subjects.
Railroad Director.
He was a director of the Frisco
system and the Pere Marquette, he
said, before he was appointed to the
Commerce Commission, and he con-
coded that he had written articles
saying railroad consolidation should
not be permitted to undo the work of
James j. Hill. Asked about railroad
valuation. he opposed any suggestion
that rates should be fixed on a total
valuation Of $4,000 000, 600.
This being time of price storms"
1t Is not a time to Ak railroad valu-
atoms, Commissioner Woodlock de-
clared.
If we are forced to follow the rules
as they are being laid down more and
more clearly by the courts" he said
we will produce results which the
public mind will reject and which no.
body in his right senses would pro-
pose as basis for rates"
Wheeler's Purpose.
Senator Wheeler explained at the
outset that it would be his purpose
to show that Mr.. Woodlock repre-
scented one school of thought on rate
making as exempnfed by the big
business interests as opposed to the
other school Of thought represented
by farmers and small shippers
He read from a number of ratings
and statements by Mr.. Woodlock over
a period Of years from 1901. The
commissioner declared that, like most
other people, he had changed many
Of his views regarding railroad con-
troll since he had given voice to the
expressions quoted.
