Harding Would
Aid U. S. Ships
With Subsidies
Favors Adjustments in the
Form of Mail Contracts
to Assist Competition
With Foreign Vessels
Asks Justice for Crew?
Says Country Doesn't Seem
Alarmed at Cox Charges;
Ball Club at Marion To-day
From a xtaff Correapondent
MARION, Ohio, Sept. 1.?Senator
Wafren G. Harding would enable Amer?
ican shipping to meet foreign competi?
tion and at the same time live up to
the exactions of the La Follette sea?
man's act by granting ship subsidies
where these would not violate existing
commercial treaties. The nominee
favors making these adjustments
through favorable mail contracts with
American ship owners.
The nominee explained his position
to-day in commenting on dispatches
from Washington telling of the possi?
ble abrogation of certain commercial
treaties on September 30 because of
conflict with the shipping laws. Sena?
tor Harding said:
"This bill was passed while I was,
engaged in the pre-convention cam?
paign, and I am not entirely familiar
with it. ? voted for it, and have never
resisted favoring American bottoms. It
is my deliberate judgment that the way
to promote fairiy an American mer?
chant marine is to take cognizance of
the specific requirements of our ship?
ping which competing nations do not
require and adjust ourselves to that
situation.
"If the La Follette teaman's act rep?
resents the conscience of America, as
I believe it does, and that imposes un?
usual exactions on our shipping enter?
prise, American shipping, in order to
expand and at the same time be just
to the crews, must meet these require?
ments squarely and make necessary ad?
justments. You may call it subsidy,
subvention or what you will. 1 think
the best word is 'adjustment.' This
government should pay its shipping for
carrying its mails as other countries
pay. If we should pay our shipping as
much for carrying our mails as other
countries are willing to pay our ship?
ping for this service, it would be
enough."
Explains Shipping View
Illustrating this point, the Senator
told of an experience while returning
from Honolulu. He was traveling on
an American vessel. They passed a
sister ship of tho same line.
"The outbound vessel was going to
Australia and had 3,000 sacks of
British mail," said Senator Harding.
"The captain told me that the British
government would pay thirty times for
this service what tho American gov?
ernment would pay. The furthering
of American commerce demands that
this sort of thing be adjusted."
Senator Harding spent most of the
day putting the, finishing touches to
the ngricultural speech that he will
deliver at the Minnesota State Fair at
Minneapolis next Wednesday.
Requested to comment on the coun?
ter charges about campaign expendi?
tures that are^passing between Gov?
ernor Cox and Will H. Hays, chairman
of the Republican National Committee,
the Senator said:
"I haven't noticed that the country
is unduly alarmed about the Presi?
dency being bought."
On Labor Day Senator Harding will
deliver an address on industrial rela?
tions at a picnic to be given here by
the Central Labor Council of Marien.
Government Ownership Editorial
The Marion Star, his newspaper, to?
night published, under the heading,
"The Russian Way," this editorial:
"Describing the deplorable conditions
in Russia under the Bolshevik r?gime,
a writer, who interviewed hundreds of
refugees, says: 'For example, the
peasant will cultivate only as much
land as is necessary to supply his own
family, because anything above that
amount would be seized by the govern?
ment and paid for with Soviet money,
of which he has already more than he
knows what to do with.'
"There we have a succinct statement
of tho consequences that follow con?
fiscation of the rewards of energy and
thrift.
"Tho Plumb plan proposes that the
government sell bonds to raise money
Small Investors
There is no reason why the person
with only a few hundred dollars to in?
vest should be driven to mines or oils or
any other dangerous investment field.
The man of large means has the
whole field open to him and can take such
chances as he pleases. If he is cautious,
he will buy Guaranteed First Mortgages
or Mortgage Certificates and, in the long
run, be better off.
The small investor should choose only
this field, for he cannot afford to lose.

to bny the railroads and then torn the
properties over to a commission on
which the railroad employees would
have a dominating voice. The govern?
ment, under the Plumb plan, would
call upon the public to pay the in?
creased costs of operation, in the form
of taxes, and to that extent would con?
fiscate one man's property for another
[ man's benefit."
"There is more than one way to kill
1 the goose that lays golden eggs. Mr.
1 Cox, the Tammany nominee for the
Presidency, proposed a wholesale kill?
ing when he urged government owner
: ship of all utilities except agriculture.
Government owned utilities would find
some way to conscript the profits of
agriculture, and then Bolshevism
would be supreme."

Greetings From Governor Allen
Harding headquarters made public
to-day this message from Governor
Henry W. Allen of Kansas:
"Deeply regret meeting of our party
council prevents my presence at Mar?
ion on Governors' Day. Kansas will
break all records in the majority
given you in November. Kansas Re?
publicans are joined by thousands of
Democrats in sending you greetings
and good wishes. The dignified and
able manner in which you are inter?
preting the issues of the day is meet?
ing with the approval of American
people, without respect to partisan?
ship. It is a clear and courageous
leadership for which the country has
been waiting. With best wishes for
your success."

Minister Finds Woman
Dead From Gas
The Rev. Dr. Jabez T. Sunderland re?
turned from his vacation yesterday to
find his apartment at 432 West 120th
Street full of gas, and Mrs. Katherine
C. Myers, to whom he had sublet it,
dead in a chair in the kitchen with
three gas burners turned on and all
the windows and doors tightly closed.
Mrs. Myers was forty years old and a
rug designer and magazine w.riter.
Neighbors said that they had seen her
Tuesday. Her husband, Henry Myers,
is employed by the Dard?e Seed and
Milling Company of 825 Monterey
Street, San Antonio, Tex. She had
done some work for the Vacation Asso?
ciation here.
Girl's Hair Cut Off on "L"
Helen Bartsch, fourteen years old,
whose luxuriant copper-colored tresses
were the pride of her mother's heart,
felt them suddenly drop to her neck
and shoulders last night as she came
down the stairs of the elevated station
at Columbus Avenue and Eighty-sixth
Street. Some one had cut them as she
rode up from Thirty-eighth Street.
She and Mrs. Emily Bartsch, hei
mother, who was in tears, went to tht
West 100th Street police station to re
port the act. Mrs. Bartsch said thai
several days ago her daughter had fel
some one tug at her hair as she rod(
in a subway train. Only the fact tha
her hair was wound around her hea<
and pinned securely prevented th<
snipper from getting away with th<
braids that time, Mrs. Bartsch said
She and her daughter live at 101 Wes
Eighty-ninth Street.
Prof. Hall Dropped
By Democrats for
Slush Fund Letter
Scandinavian Bureau Head
Loses $125 Job After Note
to Senator New Telling of
$10,000 Offer as Speaker
Professor John 0. Hall, of Washing?
ton, head of the Scandinavian bureau
of the national Democratic headquar?
ters, was dismissed yesterday by Sena?
tor Pat Harrison, head of the speakers'
bureau, without the customary notice.
The salary of the Scandinavian bureau
chief was $125 a week.
Professor Hall's exit was due to
revelations concerning his activities as
a letter writer in the slush fund In?
vestigation under way before the Sen?
ate committee at Chicago. He had
written a letter to Senator New, head
of the Republican National Committee
speakers' bureau, offering his services.
According to Senator New, he wrote
that he would address Scandinavian
audiences, and said that the Democrats
were willing to pay him $10,000, but
that he would prefer to help the Re?
publicans. The professor, according to
Senator New, also wanted a good ap?
pointment of a non-political character
after tho election.
Senator Harrison said yesterday that
after he read the Republican exposure
of Professor Hall's offer, he sent for
the head of the Scandinavian bureau,
who admitted that he had written Sen?
ator New, but did not believe that the
phraseolgy of his letter was as re?
ported by the Republican Senator. He
admitted, according to Senator Harri?
son, that he had offered to work for
the Republicans.
Senator Harrison said that he had
been in charge of the speakers' bureau
for the Democrats since August 2, and
that no one was paid to speak for the
Democrats, beyond receiving their
actual expenses. j
"Nor do we intend to pay speakers
for their services," added the Senator. ;
"In the first place we haven't the
money; in the second, we don't care to :
carry on our campaign in that way, |
and in the third place we have more
men and wbmen than we can use who i
are willing to do it without pay."
Senator Harrison admitted that the ',
Democrats paid Professor Hall $126 a j
week, but that it was not for speaking, ;
but to conduct the Scandinavian
bureau.
"But in reply to Senator New," said
Senator Harrison, "I wish to say that
1 know men who have been paid by the
Republicans, and in at least one case,
an ex-Senator was employed."
A?ked to name the "ex-Senator,"
Senator Harrison said that if the name
was wanted by the Senate committee I
he would give it.

Quotation of Forum Article
Is Described as "Unlim?
ited Misrepresentation of
Well Known Facts"
Inconsistency Is Denied |
Views Expresssed in 1917
Defended as Justified by
Existing State of War
CONCORD, N. H., Sept. 1.?Senator
Henry Cabot Lodge, speaking here to?
day before the Merrimack County Re?
publican Club, accused the Democratic
party of "unlimited misrepresenta?
tion of well known facts" in its plat?
form reference to alleged inconsisten?
cies in his attitude on the making of
peace with Germany.
"I am charged with Inconsistency,"
said Senator Lodge, "because In an ad?
dress I disapproved of deserting our
allies and making a separate peace in
the midst of the war, and yet was will?
ing to make a separate peace with Ger?
many two years and a half after that
speech was made and when all our al?
lies had left us and had themselves
made peace with Germany. I was right
on both occasions and entirely con?
sistent.^
The Senator added that what was im- j
portant was not tho question of his j
personal consistency, but that one of I
the two great parties should have be?
gun the campaign with misrepresenta?
tion.
Senator Lodge explained that he was
led to make this personal reference to
himself because the situation was un?
usual and he had refrained from dis?
cussing it until he could do so in a
speech. "I think I am safe in saying,"
he continued, "that never before has
the declaration of the principles of a
great national party carried an attack
on any individual member of the oppo?
site party. But the Democrats at San
Francisco selected me by name for a
subject of attack in an effort apparent?
ly to prove that I had been inconsist?
ent.
Date of Article Misstated
"What they did exactly was this:
They quoted from what they called an
article of mine which they said ap?
peared in The Forum magazine of De- !
cember, 1918, in which I had denounced I
any attempt on the part of the United I
States to make a separate peace with !
Germany at that time. ... On the
publication, of this statement in the
Democratic platform many of the lead?
ing newspapers of the country imme?
diately pointed out that the article in
question was not published in The
Forum of December, 1918, but appeared
in The Forum of June, 1918?that is,
appeared while the war was at its
height and before the great advance
which resulted in victory. The false?
hood was so flagrant that the Demo?
crats admitted it themselves and
changed the date of the statement sev?
eral weeks later in the official publica?
tion of their platform, to June, 1918.
"This of course destroyed the main
point o- the attack and got rid of the
most obvious lie, bat It still remained
with a large burden of falsehood upon
it because in the article as published
by The Forum In June, 1918, there was
a note appended saying that this ar?
ticle was an address delivered by me
before the Massachusetts Historical
Society and was printed by them with
the permission of the society. This
note the author of the statement in
the Democratic platform must have
seen if he had looked at the copy of
The Forum from which he profesBeJ
to quote. As a matter of fact I de?
livered the address printed in The
Forum of June, 1918, on October 11,
1917, and it was printed in the Oc?
tober number of "The Proceedings" of
the Historical Society, only six months
after our declaration of war and when
the war was, of course, still raging.
Defends 1917 Statement
"At that time voices were heard, not '
only here but elsewhere, suggesting
that the United States should make" a
separate peace. A separate peace then
would have meant the desertion of our
allies in the midst of war. What I
then said in October, 1917, was right
and I am glad that I said it, and I am
glad that my address was reprinted
and I have not a word of what I said
to change or withdraw.
"The point of the Democratic charge
is that I was grossly inconsistent in
voting on May 15, 1920, for the Knox
resolution declaring peace, after hav?
ing denounced the making of a sep?
arate peace in 1917; that is, that I
was grossly inconsistent in voting to
declare a peace which actually existed,
a year and a half after hostilities had
ceased and after our allies had macie
a separate peace for themselves with
Germany, because I had denounced the
making of a separate peace in the very
midst of war.
"I know that I was absolutely right
in voting for the Knox resolution.
All the other countries had made
peace with Germany. We had declined
to ratify the Treaty of Versailles on
account of the covenant of the League
of Nations, except with reservations
which would have protected the United,
States. But all our allies had ratified
the treaty of peace in May, 1920, and j
it was then our duty, as it is our duty
now, to put an end to the technical
state of war between the United States
and Germany. It is wholly technical i
and it is not a little difficult to es-.
tabli.h that even a technical state of |
war exists."
