The possible effect of the disappearance of so many lead- ing Republicans from the-dail is wide- ly discussed. ‘The Irish Times says “publication of the constitution has certainly not tended to promote a solid coalition. It is expected tt developments soon will arise which will reveal the situa- tion more clearly, not only on the political but also on the military side. “The Republican wing will probably endeavor to consolidate its forces pending the advent of adult suffrage upon which ft has slways pinned its faith and meantime confine itself to opposition to the constitution, which it regards as more pernicious than the treaty. + “In that event, the resumed pro- ceedings of the second dail, which is te meet again on June 30, are likely to prove highty interesting, but it is to the provisional parliament that the bulk of the people are looking for the lead.”* Later returns today showed that Commandant Dan Breen, a joint panel candidate, previously announced as elected for Waterford-Tipperary east, had been defeated.

Despite “every drive toward econ- “I don’t regard such ships as being|omy.” this loss, the président, pointed Kiwanis Will Entertain For out, amounted to more than fifty mil- lion dollars @uring the fiscal year now closing. Asserting the question was “not to be prejudiced by the old and worn wut cry against subsidy,» Harding urged that if that was used “to awaken public hostility,” it be emphasized that “we are subsidizing today by paying losses of lions a year for in- adequate service of mo permanence while the pending measure contem- plates no such outlay.” The two’ out- standing problema to be met in the legisiation, he said, are the handling of “onr shipping to the highest advantage” and establishmen of an efficient merchant marine as an egency of commerce and an “indis- penaible element of defense” as well. President Harding's letter to Mr. Mondell read in part as follows: “My Dear Mr. Mondell: “You have been advised by those who have discussed the matter with me in personal interview that I am in complete accord with the opinion of leaders amorg the majority in the house that the final consideration. of the merchant marine bill in the house, might well be postponed until approx- imately such tisne as house members will be called in active attendance to send the tarriff bill to conference. I am writing to give formal confirma- tion and to express the satisfaction with which I contemplate having this measure taken directly by members to ‘their constituencies for such reactions as will enable them to trensiate the jetiberate -preferen.s of the ‘sountry into a national policy fixed by law. If it were practical to secure final action on a measure of such import- ance in the sixty actual working days of the short term of congress, I would gladly postpone action until after the general elections and ask a renewed expression of the people at the polls. “Unfortunately for such a program the national interests will not admit of such postponement and I should feel myself remiss in a public duty if I did not ask a decision before the present session is finally ended. “In spite of every drive toward econ- omy the plain, blunt truth ts that government shipping has cost the treasury more than a fifty million dofar loss during the fiscal year now closing. This does not include depre- ciation br deterioration running into millions more, and we have a practi- cal problem which cannot be ignored by elther the executive or legislative branch of the government, or by the ‘American people of every section, who must supply the treasury funds. “We have two outsanding problems which must be met, in the solution of which congress rfiust share the res- ponsibility and regarding which there can be but one opinion when our people are acquainted with the facts, assets to the highest advantage witht out continued loss to the public treasury. The other is the establish- ment of an efficient merchant marine, when opportunity is beckoning as nev- er before as an agency of commerce and an evenue to influence in peace, and an indispensible element of de- fense if we are again involved in was, 0e 58 “ "The question is not to be pre- judiced by the old and worn out cry against subsidy. If there 1s insistent use of a term so long employed to awaken a public hostility, Jet it be known that we are subsidizing today by paying losses aggregating fifty million a year, for inadequate service of no permanence while the pending measure contemplates no such outlay. * © * Moreover, the term subsidy, implying bestowal upon special inter- ests can no longer be applied to a public service where the aid is ex earning is developed and must be returned after the earnings reach a ten per cent return on acual investment, cer- tified under government audits. All this the pending measure provides. “In the new order of the world we shall no longer be self-contained, but in shipping we-must become self-re- liant. We ask no favors, but we do believe in American genius and capa- city. One is the handling of our ship- ping under equal opportunity.” asiebacs ik i toNae Anne Martin to Make Race Again RENO, Nev., June 21.—Friends of Miss Anne Martin, who has twice been a candidate for the United States senate from Nevada, are of the ‘opinion that she will try the race again this year.

This upper. flood, the result of a ctendburst Saturday, is remarkable in the history of the river, not only be- cause it hds exceeded all previous rec- ords, but also because of its slow movement and sustained volume. From a stream normally 200 to 300 yards wide and 18 inches to six feet deep, the Rio Grande has become 50 feet deep at the flood crest and from three quarters to ® mile wide. The colume of water is so great that at Laredo, Texas, where an unofficial stage of 52 feet was reached at 11 o'clock yesterday morning, the river was still 50 feet deep at 6 o'clock last night. At Eagle Pass at 51 foot stage was reached at midnight Sunday and it had receded to six feet above nor. mal at 6 o'clock Tuesday evening. ‘The flood crest appears to be mov: ing at five miles an hour.

The union chiefs indicated that they expected to hold conferences here this week te be followed by a later meeting tn Chi- cago, where the raf leaders wil can- vass the strike vote next week. A unanimity of sentiment as to the necessity of the strike was shown by a joint statement of President Joha L. Lewis of the miners and B. MM.

A poli¢y of silence also was adopted by the union men who attend. ed last night's meeting, had disbanded Mr. Jewell went into conference with lawyers, The joint statement, which the union men said they regarded as tm- portant ot: account of its dual author- shtp, declared a “common crisis” faced both the railroad men and the miners, and added “it is ouly natural that these workers should decide to 4o everything necessary to protect their separate interests.” “Finding thomselves confronted with & common crisis,” said the statement, “it fs only natural that these workers should decide to do everything neces- sary to protect their separate inter- esta."
