SAYS FOREIGN
MONEY SPENT
AGAINST JONES
“I am satisfied that foreign money
is being spent to defeat Senator
Jones, upon the theory that by de
feating him they will discredit the
merchant marine act, and by dis
crediting the act they will probably
get it repealed, and by having it re
pealed they will prevent the success
of the American merchant marine
and leave the trade to the foreign
vessels,” said A. F. Haines, vice
president and general manager of the
Pacific Steamship company, in com
menting on the effort being made
to defeat Senator Wesley L. Jones
because of the latter’s authorship
and advocacy of the so-called ship
ping bill.
“The merchant marine act is a
classic,” said Mr. Haines. “It will be
the guide and precept of the Ameri
can shipping world for a generation
at least. Its champions include ev
ery American who follows the sea for
a livelihood, every man who has mon
ey invested, every man who operates
or manages American vessels, every
banker and prospective investor in
American shipping securities, every
shipyard in the country, in fact 99
per cent of the population of those
states west of the Rock mountains.
In the east one per cent have for
eign affiliations of some kind. Out
here on the Pacific there is also one
per cent of foreign interests and an
other one per cent of misguided in
dividuals consisting mostly of so
called rate experts whose whole life
and ambition in life has been to fight
transportation companies.
WOULD KEEP SHIPS BUSY
"Do we propose that our 2.000
new steel vessels shall rust at anch
or, or that they shall be sold to
foreigners at bargain counter prices,
or shall they be operated under the
American flag carrying our exports
and imports to and from all parts of
the globe? Everybody says, ‘Sure, the
last is what we want.’ Very well,
to accomplish this it is absolutely
necessary to have assistance and pro
tection to the full measure of the
merchant marine act or the Jones
bill. Otherwise it will be impossible
for either the government or private
owners to profitably operate the ves
sels.
"The ‘wilful few’ who are trying to
pull to pieces the merchant marine
act and Senator Jones are ‘giving
comfort to the enemy’ just as surely
as did the many who now languish
in jail for similar willfulness before
the armistice.
“Section 2S of the merchant ma
rine act is attacked by the one per
cent. This section provides that pre
ferencial export rates over our rail
ways shall be confined to the Amer
ican steamers, provided—now listen—
provided there is an adequate Amer
ican service to handle the business.
An adequate American service does
not mean merely some 8,800-ton car
go boats. An adequate service does
mean fast passenger boats, fast and
capable cargo liners augmented by
sufficient tramps or cargo boats to
handle all the business just as quick
ly and efficiently and safely to all
ports as could be done by foreign
steamers.
SECTION 28 WISE PROVISION
‘‘Personally I am doubtful whether
section 28 will ever be enforced, for
the simple reason that it will not be
necessary. By the time we have an
adequate and sufficient American
service our American shippers and
consign, es will be favoring American
steamers with their business to such
an extent that it will be carried by
the American vessels on an equal
basis with the foreign vessels. No
prefrenetial rates on our own cargo 1
will be necesary; nor should they
be. However, section 28 is a wise
provision and any number of facts
can already be pointed out to show I
where section 2S has resulted in i
benefit to American vessels.
“I am satisfied that foreign money
is being spent to defeat Senater Wes
ley Jones, upon the theory that by
defeating him they will discredit the
merchant marine act, and by discred
iting the marine act they will proba
bly get it repealed, and by having it
repealed they will prevent the suc
cess of the American merchant ma
rine and leave the trade to the for
eign vessels.
“If our characteristic ingratitude
should resulte in the failure to return
Senator Jones to Washington for
another term, he will still be the
wise far-seeing statesman who has
spent a good part of his life time
laboring for the people and building
solidly for the future of this great
nation; and our admiralty lawyers
will be interpreting his merchant ma
rine act after we are all dead. My
friends are all going to vote for
Jones.”
“HEARTSEASE” TONIGHT
AT EMPRESS THEATRE
An uncommonly appealing play is
“Heartsease,” which is the feature
for tonight’s program at the Empress
and uncommonly winning is handsome
Tom Moore as Eric Temple, a strug
gling composer who writes songs that
will sell for bread, -while he dreams
of his unfinished operas. He is in
love with Margaret (Helene Chad
wick) daughter of Lord Neville (Alec
B. Francis). Lady Neville (Rosemary
Thebv) is attracted to Eric, in spite
of his evident preference for her
step-daughter, and begins her flirta
tion by becoming his patroness at a
musicale in his honor. Sir Geoffrey
Pomfrat, one of the guests, jealuos
of Eric’s obvious love for Bargaret
and enraged because she responds,
steals the manuscript of the young
composer’s opera while it is in the
keeping of Lady Neville.
He places his name on it. arranges
for its production at Covent Garden,
and on the night that all London at
tends the premiere, imagines that
his fame is made. But Eric, in the
audience, recognises his music and
determines to prove to the world that
its applause is his. This is brought
about with tremendous effect—as
unexpected as it is dramatic.
MANY IN PRISON FOR
SELLING WAR STOCKS
PARIS, Sept. 29 (by Associated
Press).—Two thousand eight hundred
and eightv-two government employes
have been arrested or dismissed or
suspended in connection with the
sale of left-over American, British
and French war stocks, since the
appointment of Emmanuel Brousse
by Premier Millerand, as under sec
retary of state for the liquidation of
war stocks, an official note from that
department says.
The American stocks have proved
a great attraction to the employes
who were imbued with the idea that
liquidation began at home. Many of
them are now in La Sante prison.
The harbors of southeastern Alaska
are ice free the year round.
