arms conference and to put the cruiser building pro-
gram through Congress.
All this has been known for many months and
published by the press But it did not become official
information apparently until read into the Senate
hearing record Saturday
That having been done, Chairman Shortridge
intimates that the investigation finished and
the committee has adjourned without plans for
further hearings.
We are grateful to the committee for giving the
country good laugh But we had not supposed the
committee considered that easy task the extent of its
duties, in the face of the dangerous big Navy propa-
ganda and lobby denounced by President Hoover
When the investigation started, we pointed out
that the cruiser companies and naval officers i'm
picaed we're trying to make their agent Shearer the
sole goat. They have succeeded-f the investigation
is to stop now.
1t is clearly the committees job to go on until
it forces the armament companies and naval officers
to reveal these things:
Who ordered the naval intelligence officers named
by Shearer to give him the fake document as genuine
and for propaganda purposes?
Is it true, as appears from the testimony of
Shearer and newspaper men, stated by Admiral
FlSke that Shearers views and activities were in &C
cord with those of the high naval officers cooperating
with him?
VINO lied in the conflicting testimony of Shearer
and Charles M Schwab the responsibility for the
three shipbuildng companies sending shearer as a
secret paid agent to the Geneva conference?
Who forged the signature of Sir William Wiseman,
former British intelligence service chief in this coun-
try, in the fake Navy Department "document?"
Why should ship building companies, guilty of the
propaganda activities, denounced by President Hoo
ver continue to receive cruiser construction contracts
from the government?

Shearer's Bomb Is bud

That naval bomb exploded by the propaganda
shearer turns out to be dud. 1t rocks the country
all right-but with laughter.
The country will recall that this self-styled big
bass drum OF the miitalistic lobby did lot of boom
booming on the subject of a secret British plot to
take over the United States. His proof" was an
alleged official British document slipped to him, he
said by United States naval intelligence officers.
OF course the document fake the face
OF it. And no one was surprised when it was re-
vealed to be merely amusing burlesque Of British
wartime propaganda, written and distributed by Dr.
William NJ. j. Maloney Of New York and barred from
the mails more than ten years ago.
Testifying before the Senate investigation
mittee Saturday, Maloney reminded the committee
that the obvious hoax had been widely carried by the
Canadian press Joke and had been reprinted,
gether with statement by him, in a New York news
