SENATOR JONES SAYS SHIPBUILDING POLICY IS WRONG
SENATOR SCORES i
WILSON’S ACTION
ON SHIPBUILDING
Wilson’* Failure to Remove the
Shipbuilding Restrictions Is
Severely Criticized.
Associated Press
WASHINGTON, I). C„ Jan. 22
Senator Wesley L. Jones, of Wash
ington, in a speech delivered before
the Senate today, severely criticized
President Wilson’s failure to re
move the restrictions against con
struction, in American shipyards, of
steel ships for foreigners.
The senator said that the Presi
dent’s action in the matter was ab
solutely unjustifiable and almost
criminal. The policy adopted by
the President, he said, compelled
the shipyards to close, throwing
thousands out of work and causing
the building contracts to go to other
countries.
In conclusion, Senator Jones said
that American shipyards seek for
eign ship-building contracts, and
that President Wilson has no reason
to justify his action.

After the whistle is tested out

other means.
