BY PAUL r. MALLON

United Press stan Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Jan. Ex-senator
Borah's frank discussion of relations
with Great Britain in his senate
speech has resulted in a general
agreement today among leaders to
include in the pending cruiser bill
his amendment authorizing the
President to call an international
conference for defining the neutral
rights of nations on the high seas.
The amendment will be adopted.
The chairman of the foreign rela-
tons committee astounded the sem
ate late Thursday with the state
ment that unless some agreement
is reached protecting the rights of
neutrals in ocean commerce there
will be real naval race with Great
Britain.
Sees Cataclysm Ahead
"I can see nothing for the future
in that event save a super-human
burden of taxation upon the people
and perhaps another cataclySm like
that of 1914" Borah told the senate.
Advocates of the naval bill agreed
with Borah's conclusion and were
ready Immediately to accept his
amendment although Borah is OPP
posed to the bill.
The provision merely would eX-
press the sense of congress that
some definition of neutral nations
right to carry anything but arms
and ammunitions in war times
should be guaranteed by interna-
tional agreement
Need for Big Navy
He recollected difficulties the
United States had in the late World
war when Britain declared nearly
everything in the human magma
ton as contraband." He read Brit
ish books indicating Great Britain
was planning to embark on a policy
of disregarding neutral shipping
rights in war times.
In such case, Borah said, the
United States would need more than
the fifteen cruisers provided in the
pending bill. A big navy would
have to be constructed to protect
our commerce, he argued.

of Senator Reed Smoot of Utah who spurned a

But as Smoot was raised amid the generous cir

1t can not be denied that an assured senatorial
career does prolong life than a barrel of
monkey glands as is evidenced by the aggregate
antiquity of the upper chamber some thirty years
ago when most of those who reached there stayed.
There were dozen ivy-clad solons either side
of the partisan aisle, the most ancient of them all
being Senator Morrill, of Vermont.
ONE day Senator Vest of Missouri who had been

Shearer Is a Side Show

been a tough customer the senate committee wit

him from turning the witness stand into platform
Of sef-propaganda and vcaton Of senators, college
presidents peace advocates reporters all and sundry
He has denied charges contained in an alleged
Scotland Yard dossier that he suspected thief,
gambler and spy. He has denied he was boot
logger, but admitted sacrificing $500 bond rather
than stand trial liquor charge in New Rochelle.
He confessed he lied at Geneva in denying his paid
connection with the cruiser companies.
Naturally the committee and the public can not
remain unprecedented against this man. whose tes-
timony makes him seem worse than he had
been painted.
But the sinister qualities of this paid war-monger
should not bind the committee and the public to
the fact that he was only the henchman of higher
ups He has enough to suffer for his account.
Justice can not be served by making him the goat
for the sins Of others
Let it not be forgotten that he employed to
do his miitaristc job at the Geneva arms conference
called by the United States. The three shipbuding
and armament companies confess to hiring him.
But they say they paid him merely observer"
These armament company officials, including
Charles M Schwab should be called to the stand to

any reading of the evidence would convict those

But are those companes-which are

That is the issue. Shearer is only side show

Carolina Justice On Trial

North Carolina slowly is coming to its senses.
Nine labor defendants, including three women
charged with murder of the Gastonia police chief,
have been freed Charges against the remaining
union defendants were reduced from first to second
degree murder at the resumption of the trial in
Charlotte Monday. Charges of assault against seven
others dropped.
After period of hysteria and intimidation, which
early neceSstaed change in from Gastonia, it
appears that the accused of murder will get
fair trial This is admitted by the defense counsel
who praise the rulings of Judge Barnhn.
The shooting of the police officer, who was trying
to force entrance into the union tent colony followed
long period of violence against the textile strikers
Since the trial began, there have been series of mob
outrages against union members, night-riding, fog
gngs and the murder of a woman striker.
To redeem its reputation the state must apprehend
and punish the murderers of the woman striker and
the leaders of the many mobs 1t must prevent repet
ton of this lawlessness against the strikers which
threatens again. now that the police murder trial is
being resumed
Even that will not solve North Cardinals problem.
Conditions in the textile mills are disgrace. The
workers will not and should not long submit to the
industrial slavery of low wages long hours, company
feudalism, and denial of civil liberties.
North Carolina may get rid of the Communists But
1t will not get rid of the widespread labor revolt until
American working conditions granted.
This is recognized in part by Governor Gardner,
who now is belatedly pleading for textile cleanup,
to include higher wages shorter hours, and abolition
Of the company housing system. But the Governor
still seems to be blind to the fundamental demand Of
the workers-the right to organize. Only through
collective bargaining can the workers get justice and
they know it.

century in the rest of the country and by labor
