A WASHINGTON.: Jan. 9. -Senator Calder, ot 'New York,, republican, speaking today in the senate, charg ed that the ahipplng board and tho TSmerRCticy Fleet corporation have operated in an unbusinesslike man ner with "apparent disregard for ex pense" and urged that congress de termine the board's general policies and limit the scope of its activities. 8enator Colder is a member of the senate commerce committee which baa been Investigating shipbuilding. Misdirected Kneray "The shipping board,", declared Senator Calder, "has at no time been made up ot men with a knowledge ot shipping or shipbuilding problems. A very large part of the time and the energies ot the fleet corporation has been given over to building up a great and cumbersome system ot supervision rather than to the build ing of ships. - ... "In the policy adopted towards la bor, there has been practically no of- fort to enforce ordinary discipline or to Indicate to the working men that they wore expected to render a fair return of work for the high wages paid." . Statistics show, the senator-declared, that the shipping program Is "progressing at approximately v 40 percent of "schedule speed," and that "the completion of the work ' will probably take nearly a year longer than-the time allowed In the contracts."- : . . ' ' . ' . t ... 4 Ships Out of S13 '-Contracts for 35 percent or 513 ships of the tout, steel tonnage planned -were awarded b the board, Senator Calder said to five shipbuild ing concerns only one of which had had experience in the work. M an estimated cost of S745.000.000.. but be said this cost would : approach nearer St. 000, 000. 000. At this rate the 'average cost per ton as $275, he estimated, exclusive of the costof supervision and control. '..!.!... . "' '. Of the 513 ships only four had been delivered up to November 11, out of 103-promised by that date. Senator Calder said.. The companies receiving the contracts were the Hog Island Ship Yard, Merchant Ship building corporation, Bristol, Penn.; Submarine Boat corporation, Newark, N.1 J.; Bethlehem Shipbuilding cor poration, and Carolina Shipbuilding: corporation of Wilmington, N.

NATIONS LEAGUE IS INITIAL MOVE STATES CECIL Lord Robert Cecil Declares Organiza tion of League of Nations Indis pensable as First Step in Peace Ne gotiations Not Only Necessary to Insure Peace but Also for Acatlon PARIS, Wednesday. Jan. 8. (By Associated Press.) Lord Robert Ce cil, who has arrived here with tho first section of the British peace dele gation, expressed tho opinion to tho Associated Press today that the def inite organization ot a League ot 'Na tions la indispensable as a first step toward conclusion ot enduring peace and a satisfactory settlement of in ternational problems. Lord Robert, making it clear that hia statements were personal views, said: "In my opinion, a Loague ot Na tions is necessary as the Initial step in the peace negotiations. It is not only necessary to insure peace but also tor the proper' treatment of many International Questions which must be considered by the peace con gress. Joint International action in an organtzod and recognised form Is necessary in order to relieve millions of people who are at this moment destitute ot necessaries of life; to regulate permanently many vital common interests such as Interna tional railways, posts, waterways, telegraph and wireless, .the use of the air; public health and the pro tection of women and juveniles in In dustry; and to discharge adequately and Justly responsibilities of the great civilized nations in such a great matter as the protection and guidance of backward peoples. It Is the sum of all these recognized activ ities that we call the 'League of Na tions.'-. - -: "It is our business to give this league definite form here and now. "This congress must regard itself as the first regular meeting of the nations forming the league," he said, 'but I think it would be a dangerous policy to let tho peaco congress drift along aimlessly without reaching a positive organization of a League ot Nations. I . .''This impresses , me as being the time tor the creation of a body which will be effectively organized and not allowed to drop into inaction."

At this point arises the auestion of bow Ions-the peace congress will wait for the .central powers to arrange their covernment.
