BRITAIN WARNED OF U. S. STRIDES IN SHIPPING
HOOVER DECLINES TO COMMIT HIMSELF TO DEMOCRACY;
SENATE TO HECKLE WILSON OVER NEW APPOINTMENTS
Results of His Refusal to Line Up
With Democrats Waited With
Interest—Friends See Chance
Thevelopments 1n the agitation to
induce the subcommittee of the State
Democratic BExecutive Committee to
place the name of Herbert Hoover on
the ballot in the presidential primary
of April 20 were awaited eagerly by
Democratic leaders Thursday, follow
ing receipt by Secretary Hiram L.
Gardner of Eatonton of a telegram
from Mr. Hoover, that he “had. not
been identified with the Democratic
parity before the war.” and that *he
dig- not intend” to file his name in
the Georgia contest.
This mgssage from Mr. Hoover was
construed by Democrats generally to
mean he has put the fight squarely
up to his friends in this State, and
dez{ned to commit himself to the
D‘"., ocratic party. -
‘While no definite move had been
made Thursday, it was believed the
principal backers of the former food
administrator, including the Dem
ograts who filed the original petition
with the subcommittee for placing
his name on the ballot, would at once
renew their insistence that this name
go hefore the voters of Georgia in
the primary, It was pointed out that
Mr. Hoover did not place any ban,
whatever, on the activities of his
friends in Georgia, or elsewhere. He
Simply made it plain that, because of
the fact that he had not been a party
man, he personally would not agk the
Democratic committee to give him a
place on the Georgia ballot,
HOOVER’'S MESSAGE.
Mr. Hoover, in stating his pogition
as a non-party man, explained that
his connection with the government
in the war was ‘“solely a war serv
ice.” This telegram follows: .
New York, Feb. 26, 1920.
Hon. Hiram L. Gardner,
/S(\cre'mry State Democratic Execu
“ tive Committee.
Eatonton, Ga.
1 feel confident that it is not nec
essary to dwell at length upon my
gratitude to you for the ‘honor im
plied in your letter of February 22.
1 especially appreciate it, since I
was not identified with the Dem
ocratic party before the war, and my
éfficial connection with the govern
ment has been solely a war service,
and consequently not of a partisan
character.
I have not been able to persuade
myself at all that any vreal public
service will be performed by injecting
myself into the race for the nomina
tion to the greatest honor at the dis
posal of the American people,
Therefore, aside from any other
reason, 1 do not intend to fil¢ my
name.
HERBERT HOOVER.
‘ The telegram from Mr. Hoover
ecame in response to the letter of in
quiry written to him by Secretary
Gardner by direction of the subcom
mittee.. It was in answer to the
guestion as to whether he wished toi
gualify as a “Demoerat” and have hm‘
name placed on the Georgia ballot.
FLYNT SEES NO HOPE.
This action by the 'su!»-rummillw-'
followed published statements.of Mr.
Hoover, In which he declined to align |
himself® with either party. It wun'
based on a rule of the xubwnmmu-'
tee that provides “the name of uny;
Democrat may be placed on the pres
idential ballot on petition of 100 or
more citizens, or by his own appli
cation.” Members of the sub-com
mittee held that, unless Mr, Hoover
should qualify by declaring himself
a Democrat, his name could not go
on the ballot under the terms of this
rule. .
l¢ Chairman J. J. Flynt of Griffin,
chairman of the State Democratic
Kxecutive Committee, in a statement
on the situation, made it plain the
message of Mr. Hoover eliminates

IRepublican Leader Says He Will
Keep Document in Debate Un
til Vote—Democrats Wavering
By J. BART CAMPBELL,
Staff Correspondent of the, I. N, S,
WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.—Ratifi
lcation or rejection of the treaty of
peace with Germany was again put
‘squarely up to the Senate today
when Senator Lodge, the Republican
leader, called up the document for re
| consideration.
Until final® action was compelled
!on the Lodge reservations individual
jly and the resolution of ratification
Eembndying them en bloe, the treaty
‘ would be kept before the Senate con
;Linuuusly, Senator Lodge said.
f A week or more was expected to
elapse before the “last ditch” in the
? treaty fight was reached—that of ac
cepting or voting down: ratification
on the basis of the Lodge reservas:
tions, .
DEMOCRATS SWITCH,. \
A canvass of the Democratic side
fdisclosed many Democratic senators
keretofore counted as staunch admin
istration . adherents were ready to
support the Lodge ' reservations,
‘rather than stand any longer in the
way of ratification. |
\’ A “last ditch” conference of Demo
;cratlc senators to discuss the treaty
situation will be called by Senator
Hitchcock, the administration lead- :
er, but not until the Democratic side}
is again face to face with the alter
ndative of accepting or rejecting a
resolution of ratification embodyingl
the Lodge reservations. *}
TO COMPEL ACTION. 1
- It is Lodge's Jlntention to compel
final action on each of the romalningg
thirteen reservations, one by ono,s
with whatever changes are proposed, |
just as he forced a “showdown” on
the first, that involving the with-f
drawal of the United States from the |
League of Nations, on Saturday !uat.’
It was then the Democratic side be
gan to show a marked disposition to
“break” away from Hitcheock's lead
ership and toward Lodge's program.
The plan to which Hitchcock
agreed, is when thé *“last ditch” of
the treaty fight is reached—ratifica
tion or rejection—after each of the
Lodge reservations is acted on singly,
and it is up to the Senate to vote
on the mcollectively as part of thei
resolution of ratification, a confer
ence of Democratic senators will be
held.
At that conference it will be de
cided, if possible, what course the
Democratic side is to pursue with re
gard to the resolution of ratification
containing the IL.odge reservations,
amended or in the original form, as |
the Senate may again adopt them. ‘

IWorkers Send Resolution toPres
ident Saying Only This Action
| Can Solve Rail Labor Problem.
| e
(By International News Service.)
WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.—0n1y a
| presidential veto of the Cummmins
| Esch bill can solve the railroad prob
lem, declared a resdlution presented
to the President today by the fifteen
allied organizations of railroad work
ers.
“With a full sense of our respon
sibility we do now request that you
veto this bill,” declared the resolu
tion. “Only by such a course can an
orderly solution of the problem now
confronting the country be achieved.”
State Senator F. L. Lufton of Vir
ginia, representiny the American
Farm Bureau Federation and the Na
tional Grange, presented a 4 memorial
to -.the President urging that he sign
the railroad bill. Lufton said his
memorial represented the sentiment
of 2,000,000 farmers.
President Wilson has informed rep
resentatives of railroad labor that he
can not reply to their request for im
mediate appointment of a tribunal of
employees to adjust wage demands
until he has taken action on the
Cummins-Esch bill
This was announced at the White
House today. .
The President had drafted a note
to the representatives, but the text
of the note was affected by the pass
age of the Cumming-Esch bill by the
Senater. He asked Director General
Hines to inform the labor representa
tives he must first act upon the pend
ing bill, which has provisions for la
bor adjustment boards.
Representatives of the railroad
workers had not asked for an ap
pointment at the White House up to
just before noon. They were plan
ning to deliver a memorial to the,
President, stating their opposition to
the Cummins-Esch bill and urging it |
be vetoed. It was understood the
memorial was under criticism from
some of the representatives of L‘he‘
workers and it might be delayed. |
The Cummins-Esch bill is in the
hands of Attorney General Palmer
and it is expected the President wm!
take action on it as soon as the at
torney general has passed upon 1151
legality. \
The railroad labor situation today
apparently was unsettled. There was
little unanimity as to what w-ouldl
be' the result of favorable action by |
the President. Predictions of sporadic
wirikes were still frequent, 'dmplle
the fact leaders are doing all in their
power to check strike talk. ‘

He stated that he had not yet seen
the reported peace offer, which Lon

had forwarded to this country. White
House officials saild the peace offer
had not arrived there,
While there is every indication that
business relations will be established
with soviet Russia, the United States
will not develop much trade with
Russia, in the opinion of* Mr, Polk,
because Russia has little gold and
the exchange rate will be unfavorable.
The only trade that is likely to come
to this country is that which is by

' (By International News Service.)
' WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.—The
’qu:u-rel between President Wilson
lan antagonistic 'Congress is expected
; to break out in a new place as soon
as the name of Bainbridge Colby, the
newly appointed secretary of state,
comes up before the Senate for
confirmation.
It was predicted at ‘the capitol to
day the Senate not only may take
its own time to confirm the appointee
but the President’'s political enemies
would seize the opportunity to attack
him from a new angle.
The name of Charles R. Crane, re
cently announced at minister to
China, is' likewise before the Senate,
and in congressional ofrcles 1t 18
’sald his confirmation will not go
through any more smwoothly than
that of the new secretary,
Senator Philander Knox, Republi
ean of Pennsylvania, was secrotary
of state under Taft at the time of
Crane’s first appointment as United
States representative in the Orient
and was instrumental in having the
new minister recalled before he had
reached his post.
Now, in the Senate he will be
called upon, along with other Re
publicans, to pass upon Crane, ap
pointed again, this time by a Demo
cratic President.
Comment among Democrats is fav
orable and that both Colby and
Crane will ultimately be confirmed,
is nowhere seriously disputed, Never
theless, considerable bitterness is ex
pressed in the camp of the Presi
dent's political enemies and it be
lieved here that before confirmation
is finally voted there will be some

' England, Pushed for Lead, Sees

; By ROBERT J. PREW,
| Btaff Correspondent Universal Service
| LGNDON, Feb. 26.—England is i
tnlroarl lest America wrest from her
lth(- supreme position in world ship~
1 ping.
l England does not consider tha
| present policy of the United States
’Shippmg Board and of her own doe
| minions “fair competition.”
England also fears America may
ultimately capture the world's coal
l trade.
| These facts were brought out in an
| address by W. J. Noble before the
I(‘hamher of Shipping of the United
' Kingdom, of which he is president. He
’said:
“The rise of the American mercans
tile fleet 1s one of the world facts
arising from the war,
GROWING STRENGTH,
' “It would be a profound mistalke
Im underestimate its growing
strength. It probably will not com
tinye at its recent rate of progress,
but the shipbuilding potentlalities of
the United States justify the Ameri«
cans in hoping ultimately to occupy
the supreme position.
“They are now, as in the middle of
lthe last century, following closely
iupon Great Britain’s heels, *
“I have faith in my own countrye
lmen as shipbuilders and ship owne
ers. Britain is prepared to meet any
fair competition. But no one can re

In voicing his fear that Ameyrica
might capture the world's coal trade,
Mr. Noble said Ameérica was now
putting coal aboard steamers at 30
| shillings a ton, as against England's
figure of 100 shillings. The discrep
