PRESIDENT PLEADS
FOR MARINE ACT
Establishment of Merchant Marine to
Make U. S. Real Power, Most
Vital Says Chief
Washington. The administration
merchant marine bill, with amend
ments agreed to recently by Repubican
members, was formally reported out
by the house merchant marine com
mlttee without a /ecord vote, while
President Harding was arranging to
go to the capita) and address a joint
session of congress in the interest of
the legislation.
Washington.—Enactment of the ad
ministration merchant marine bill was
urged on congress by President Hard
ing as necessary to relieve the govern
ment of present “staggering losses” in
operation of the war-built merchant
fleet, and to establish a program of
assured shipping to serve the nation in
war and give a guaranty of commer
cial independence in time of peace.
Personally addressing a joint session
of the senate and house, the executive
declared an actual monetary saving to
the government would result from the
proposed law. He challenged every
insinuation of favored interests and
the enriching of the special few at the
expense of the public treasury. The
legislation, he asserted, automatically
guarded against enrichment or perpet
ual bestowal.
“If success attend, as we hope it
will,” he added, “the government out
lay Is returned, the inspiration of op
portunity to earn remains and Ameri
can transportation by sea is main
tained.”
The president had concern about the
American merchant marine policy,
which Is not limited to “our own do
main,” adding that the maritime na
tions of the world “were in complete
accord with the opposition here to the
pending measure.”
ALLIED TIES FACE
FIRST PARLEY TEST
Lausanne.; —Delegates to the Laus
anne conference, with tfhe preliminary
oratory concerning the close relations
of England. France and Italy behind
them, faced the renl test of the
strength of the ties which spokesmen
for the three powers have insisted ex
isted between them.
The conference meets In private
session for the purpose of organizing
and to start the actual work of mak
ing peace with the Turks. For cen
turies. Turkey has been able to pro
tect herself by getting European na
tions to quarrel among themselves
over the near eastern questions. The
rivalry of France, Italy and England
for supremacy In the levant has been
the protection of weak sultans in the
past and It remains to be seen whether
it will also be of service to Mustapha
Kemal Pasha and his Angora associ
ates. Ismet Pasha and his associates
of the Turkish delegation to the con
ference appear less confident than
when they arrived and the feeling Is
growing that they will reduce their
program materially in the hope of re
storing peace and re-establishing trade
relations with the outside world. It Is
becoming evident that they are begin
ning to realize;that it was Greece and
not the great powers of Europe which
they defeated in their recent successful
campaign about Smyrna.

that the liquor question probably
would be the principal issue of the
1924 presidential election as a result of
claims being made that the wets won
a sweeping victory in the recent gen
eral election.
Cuno Picks German Cabinet
Berlin. —Chancellor Cuno is expect
ed to make known In the near future
the names.of the men he has selected
for ids “business cabinet.” Later the
ministry will make Its first appearance
before the relchstag, where, It is be
lieved, It will have the support of three
middle parties from whose ranks most
of the new ministers were chosen. The
united socialists refused to have a
part In the cabinet, and no support
from them Is looked for.

the superstructure and making it im
possible for rescue workers tn descent

welcoming shouts of rescue worker*
who had entered Mie remote man-ways
