SENA
QRCALDER
Boards Alleged to Have Operated In
Unbusinesslike Manner With Ad
parent Disregard for Expense
' Urges Connres sto Limit Scope ot
Activities and Determine Policies.
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. C.
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." V

The benefits tlmt Accrue to deal
ers, customers and the public itcner
nllv through - the two .wherever uos
sible, ot' products mude unj grown
in this vullev ore trronter than thev
ever were. It is itotxl economics nnil
rood business to sell a home product
instead of a product niado elsewhere.
This retains the money at home in
stead of sendius it away to other
communities.
Upon the denier, in ereat mens-,
urc. depends what people buv. You
can often Ruucost nnd sell a home
product, when your customer asks
for a foreian brand. You enn fill
orders with "made in the vallov"
mods in A majority of cases, with
comparatively littlo effort. -

CITY WITHOUT A
FLAG TO
FOR ROOSEVELT
' The city government ot Medford
has no American flag and that Is why
the Store and Stripes were not hung
at halt must on the city hull yester
day 1u tribute to the memory ot tho
late Presideut Roosevelt. The city
government has no proper tlug staff
either. This state ol affairs Is duo
to the neglect or forgottulness on the
part of the council, and the matter
hue aroused so much comment that
stops will at once be taken to get a
suitable flag and ting a(nff. ' - - :
Tho only tings flown at halt mast
in Mod ford yesterday, the day of the
Roosovolt funeral, were tho ones on
the federal building nnd on the Mo
tel Medford. In addition to this
tribute to the late former presldont.
Manager Em II Moltr also stoppod all
departments of tha Hotel Medford
tor one minuto after IS o'clock yes
terday noou, during the hour ot the
Roosevelt funeral.
The fact is thut tor some time past
there has been a dearth of flags on
buildings on the business Btreets, hut
general opinion Is that thore Is no
em'une whatever far (he city hull be
ing without a fluo.lnrKO flag flying
on high staff nil tho time, weather
VormttttiiK, exneclully as Medford has
been at the forefront patriotically In
other mutters.
As nunr us can be learned nionlhs
ago the ting thut hud been flying on
the dinky little flug staff on the city
hull was all torn to shred smoke
blackened threads, which were re
moved. Sluce thut time the pole hus
been bare.

treaties wit hthe central powers.
-The peace trieties mav be left to the
last because none of the agreements
ron bind the central powers unless in
" the ' meantime they have established
governments which satisfy the peace
oongTess.. . -. . ..
At this point arises the auestion of
bow Ions-the peace congress will wait
for the .central powers to arrange
their covernment. It is pointed out
bv some that neither German v nor
'Austria can complete its governmen
tal machinery until it is determined
niiul the two peoples desire. It is not
expected that the conaress will wait
indefinitely for the central empires to
prepare themselves for an nereeroenti
'tv'?."'. '.'"A Last Resort";:'rv.-i.,v,
There is always the possibihlv that
ft not. responsible Governments appear-the
nations represented at the
eonorrss ' could cive notice that it
would become necessary, at certain
points, to assist in the formation of
orderly eovemments. and at the same
time bcoih to colect revenues to apply
on tne bill of damases.
. -Such action would be only a last
resort, but if 'taken, the; Question
Would arise as to haw far the United
States would participate. -, Some of
those best informed as. to the lines
along which Mr. Wilson and) the peace
commissioners ore workine believe
that it is the purpose of the United
States to no no further into the rcad
uslment of European affairs than to
secure general adherence to the prin
ciples already laid down by President
Wilson., fltjd then expect: of course,
the; details to square with! the .prin
ciples, 'The execution of these details
Borne diplomats believe, mav extend
into a Wor kof vears. . ' " . . ,
