LOXDOX. May 20. Newspapers of
this city featured this morning the
address made last night by George
Harvey, the United States ambassa
dor to Great Britain, at a dinner given
by the Pilgrims. Announcement was
made by Mr. Harvey that he had been
directed by the state department in
Washington to represent America at
the proposed meeting of the supreme
council, at which the Silesian ques
tion is to be considered, and he de
clared that the United States under
no possible circumstances would be
led into participation in the league
of nations.
Only two or thrrj newspapers com
mented editorially upon the ambas
sador's speech, apparently because of
the late hour at which Mr. Harvey
spoke. These journals cordially wel
comed the ambassador's expressions
of friendship and his frankness and
commended his address in general.
The Evening Standard, comment
ing tonight, says that the decision
of the United States not to have any
thing to do with the league of na
tions obviously most seriously affects
the league's position. The newspaper
says it doubts whether without the
United States the league can con
tinue, which it regrets, declaring the
league might conceivably have ful
filled its functions had all (he great
powers energetically worked to per
fect it.
"Without that backing-." the Stand
ara says, "it must tend to. become a
useless and expensive nay, positive
ly a dangerous sham.
Meanwhile, says the newspaper, "It
is our duty to make efforts to
strengthen our understanding with
the United States, while accepting
the limits within which that under
standing is possible."

American Senator Declares Har

WASHINGTON, D. C, May 20. Am.
bassador Harvey's Pilgrims' dinner
address yesterday In London was de
scribed today by Senator Hitchcock
of Nebraska, leader in the fight for
the ratification of the treaty of Ver
sailles in the senate, as "a discredit
able performance."
oenator tiitcncocK went on to say
mat colonel Harvejrs flings at for
mer President Wilson were indecent,
and that Colonel Harvey's analysis
of the motives which led the United
states to enter the war Is a discredit
able performance."
"Colonel Harvey's description of an
Anglo-American alliance in the vision
of Britannia and Columbia hand-in-hand
for mutual benefit hardly ex
presses the aspirations of the Ameri
can people," he asserted.
senator McKellar. democrat, Ten
nessee, charged Mr. Harvey with h
lng made "remarkably conflicting
statements'- in declaring that this na
tion would not have anything to do
with the league of nations or its com-'-missions
while announcing that he
would represent this government in
consideration of the Silesia question."
"The supreme council," said Sen
ator McKellar, "is acting for It (the
league of nations) and appointed
by it."
Apparently some of those at the
dinner did not pay much attention to
Mr. Harvey's declarations, he added,
and quoted from the address of Pre
mier Lloyd George congratulating
America on "coming" to the European
councils. "And he frays he is not go

threatened, beaten and assaulted citi
sens of the United States who were
willing and desirous of manning and
operating plaintiff's vessels-, a prac
tice held to be in operation at the
time the injunction- was asked. -Americana
Held Favored.
The plaintiff, says the complaint
gave preference in the operation of
its vessels to native-born Americans
or citizens of the United States and
that the defendant sailors' union of
the Pacific is composed largely of
aliens and naturalized citizens of the
United States and that the union has
in effect a "list" system whereby the
plaintiff Is precluded from giving em
ployment to native-born American
citizens until after aliens who are
members of the union and who have
precedence on the list shall have been
employed. 1
The defendant, the Marine Firemen
Oilers' and Water-tenders' union of the
Pacific, is said to have refused appli
cations for membership during the
past year, with the result that many
qualified citizens of the United States
and many persons who were in the
military and naval service of the
United States during the war with
Germany are and have been unable
to obtain membership in the union.
The plaintiff, through the Columbia
Pacific Shipping company as manag
ing agent, is said to operate five
steamers which carry mall regularly
to ports in Asia. One of these liners
now in the harbor is the West Nivaria
and upwards of 700 sacks of mail -are
declared to be in the hold of the ves
sel awaiting dispatch, while at the
local postoffice there are said to be
more than 100 sacks of registered
mail waiting to be carried by, the
steamer to Asia. The vessel was due
to sail May 16 and her crew was com
plete with the exception of licensed
engineering officers and was pre
vented from sailing only because such
officers were members of the defen
dant marine engineers and the offi
cials of that organization are declared
to have ordered licensed engineering
officers not to accept employment on
the ships of the plaintiff and partlcu
larly tHe West Nivaria, and they in
duced and persuaded certain licensed
engineering officers willing to work
on said ship to remain away and not
to take employment thereon in viola
tion of section 201 of the penal code.
Pickets Held Impudent.
It is held in the complaint that the
defendants pickets are discourteous,
arrogant and impudent and are delib
erately attempting, upon instructions
of the defendants, to destroy the mer-

Benson Takes Firm Stand.
A telegram from Admiral Benson,
chairman of the shipping board, re
ceived late yesterday at the shipping
board's local office, reads as follows:
"Concerning the marine wage con
troversy the shipping board calls to
the attention of the. men again that
Its extremely Just and reasonable
position as stated at the conference
on April 27 was a purely compromise
measure. It was taken only after the
most careful study and with a genu
ine desire to deal Justly and to give
the men the benefit of any doubt, the
original proposition having involved
much greater wage cuts and working
conditions less favorable to the men.
It points out that the. compromise
wage scale now in effect Is the max
imum Bcale at which it can operate
ships and that any talk o a further
compromise is idle.
"The results which have been ob
tained In keeping in operation prafc
tically a normal number of ships dem
onstrates that a great percentage of
th men realize the fairness of the
position of the shipping board in
agreeing to only such wage reduc
tions and other changes as were abso
lutely imperative under the new eco.
nomic conditions.
"To the men who have accepted th
compromise and come to the assist'
