CONGRESS BY
MUCH SECRECY

Discussion of two interesting puzzles
of President Wilson's diplomacy at
the peace conference, affecting pro
foundly the interest? of the United
States, will figure prominently In the
debate on the administration's big
navy bill scheduled to open in the
house today.
The discussion will turn on these i
two incidents:
The receipt by the house commit i
tee on naval affairs of a mysterious
secret cablegram from the president
asserting that the failure of the bill to
create the greatest navy in the world
might prove fatal to his endeavors at
the peace conference.
The refusal of the president to per
mit the resumption of American ship
building for foreign account, as a re
sult of which European competitors of
England in foreign trade are shut out
of American shipyards and England
and Canada are getting all the for
eign shipbuilding contracts they can
handle, in addition to reviving their
own merchant marine.

lows: Q. Mogalizzl, Riverside, areag-

cate that there is a possibility of meet-
