British Shipping
Declared in Worse
Condition Than 1914
Foreign Owners obtoin
Advantage, Mercantile
Marine Chamber Told
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
LONDON, Feb. 29.-Sir Phillip
Haldin, president Of the Chamber
of Shipping, told that organization
today that British merchant Ship
ping is in a far worse position than
in the last war.
He blamed government "indiffer-
ence," asserting that 1t il "as plain
as a pikestaff" that Great Britain's s
shrunken mercantile marine will be
inadequate at the end of the war
without greater government aid.
This country cannot exist with
out strong mercantile marine" Sir
Phillip warned.
Noting that Britain is paying
higher rates. for neutral tonnage
than for controlled British ships,
thus enabling foreign ship owners
to build reserves, he said increased
government aid is imperative now
and in the future" or "our mercantile
marine will sink to the level of a
third-rate power"
LORD Essendon, chairman OF Fur
ness, Witty & Co.. Ltd, and other
British shipping firms. said the con-
trolled rate for British ships from
the River Plate was 43 shillings
(about $500 ton. while Britain
was paying l30 shillngs (about $26)
to neutral owners for the same serv-
ice.
These figures provide some indi-
cation of the benefits which foreign
ship owners are obtaining and OF
the strength Of the rod which is
being created with which to beat
British tramp ship owners in the
future" he said.

the killing Of DR.. Walter Engelberg,
secretary Of the German Con-

II am sorry he has requested me to
stay outside" said Mrs. Kehler, an

Engelberg's body was found De-

crushed head were withheld from
the jury when Judge Peter J. Bran
cato said he would decide whether
the jury should see them.

that an attache in the German Con-
sulate killed DR.. Engelberg"
1T wouldn't be the first bloody
purge of Hitler" Mr.. Healy replied.
He has purged many men BEFORE"

Warns Of PeriIs in
Defense Program
Must Be Alert to
Debt and Higher
Toxes, 1t Declares

The United States Chamber of
Commerce Council on National
Policy warned yesterday against per-
mitting defense preparation ito OBJ
scure the growing peril to our
institutions, our forms of life and,
in fact, our individual liberties"
It's statement called for prompt
action in rearming the Nation but
added 1--WE must be alert to the effect
of greater debt, heavier taxation
and increasing propaganda both
from within and without"
Hard work, self denial and sac
rifce, by and for all, are indis-
pensable to both national defense
and national prosperity. Laws,
rules and propaganda which actually
interfere with production must be
modified and eliminated"
Because of the unusual problems
which industry must overcome in
providing war material, it must not
be expected that the speed of Con-
gress in providing appropriations
will be matched with similar speed
al pIoooSeAoll VI Su1lo, OH pidllCo dll4
battleships, the report declared.
There is urgent need of legisla-
ton to permit companies undertak-
ing such expansion to make adequate
recovery under the income tax laws
of the cost incurred for facilities
over their possible value for other
than defense production" it added
Amortization legislation should be
enacted Immediately and as sep
arate measure.
In legislative provisions for ex-
cess profits taxes, business should
be assured of greater fairness and
certainty as to tax liabilities than
appeared in earlier taxes of this type
and their administration. If the in
tegrity of the industrial structure
of the country is to be maintained,
the development of such a tax
should be unhurried and there
should be opportunity for considera-
ton in adequate hearings after
there has been widespread under
standing of the proposals"

dent of the United States chamber,

Glass Defends Draft
And Believes Measure
Will Be Passed Soon
Senator, in Radio Talk,
Rebukes Colleagues for
Delaying Enuetment
HY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LYNCHBURG, Va, Aug. 10
Senator Glass tonight defended the
principle of conscription and COM
pulsory training and said that he
had every reason to believe that the
Burke Wadsworth bill now pending
in Congress would be passed with
out further delay.
Speaking over Nation wide radio
some of his Senate colleagues for
delaying passage of the bill and ex-
pressed hope that there would be
no more hot air speeches" like
those in the past few days.
Il have been i'll and unable to be
present in the debate" he said.
when I leave for Washington to-
morrow I shall do all can to bring
about immediate action on COM
pulsory military training"
Says Hitler Will Take Colonies.
Senator Glass warned that should
England be beaten in the present
war Hitler will try to undertake to
control its colonies in the Americas.
Describing the German Fuehrer
as that Central European assassin"
he declared that ever since the de-
bacle of Munich Hitler has lost the
confidence of the world. He said
he was incapable of telling the
truth" had violated every pledge to
Chamberlain. and any one who is
credulous enough to think that Hit
Ter will not try to violate the Mon
roe Doctrine is too simple to repre-
sent the people in the Congress of
the United States.
Senator Glass said he believed
that compulsory military training is
the most democratic method that
can be devised; it makes every in
dividual, young and old, realize his
duty, he said.
Cites Unnamed Senator.
He referred to an unnamed Sem
etor, a most violent pacifSt," who
attacked President Wilson for not
going into the World War sooner.
and then got out Of the war himself
by claiming he was a notary public.
Such a spirit as that is delaying
passage of the Burke -Wadsworth
bill today, he said.
Senator Glass spoke eXtemporane-
ously. He was introduced by B.
Powell Harrison, jr., of Leesburg,
president of the Virginia State Jun
ior Chamber of Commerce, who said
that this organization of 25 clubs
and 5000 members had gone on
record as strongly in favor of COM
pulsory military training.
