[ Senator Fletcher said that the gov- arnment now owns 1,676 merciant vessels and t we are carry'ng in American bottoms 40 per cent of our overseas commerce—some months as much as 60 per cent.

" . ! President Preston Opens Convention. ! President Preston, in his address ssed the confront- jopening the convention, di | “tremendous responsibility jing the next administratio 1 “The country expects,” he declared, “immediate repeal of all war legi: {lation and the conclusion of peace without delay; it expects the United States to take a leading part in the laudable effort to make future wars improbable, if not impossible. The in- coming administration must drastical- ly retrench and continue to do so; to spend as we have been spending for the past two years invites bank- ruptcy. Sound and. efficient methods should be adopted in every depart- ment. Needless duplication, needless employes and needless expenditure should be at once diminished.” Above all, Mr. Preston continued, the { government must take its “blighting {hand’ off private business. He said: f it properly attends to its own af- fairs it will have no time for anything ! else. The broad proposition of whether {or not the government shall invade the irealm of private business has, it ap- pears to me, been answered in the { negative for all time by the manner {in which our railroad, airplane and | shipping interests have been conduct- jed. The flagrant waste and inefficiency show how incompetent and ill-prepared the government is to conduct private affairs. A few more years of such management as we have witnessed and the bottom of the taxpayers' pockets will have been reached.” { A resume of the mplishment of { M the Southern Commercial Congress was { presented by Dr. Clarence J. Owens, director general of the organization, at the beginning of the morning ses- sion. At the afternoon session of the con- vention addresses will be delivered by { Senators Owens of Oklahoma, Rans- dell of Louisiana and Edge of New Jersey. Tonight a reception und grand bail will be tendered the officers and | delegates at the New Willard Hotel. WOMEN TO FIGHT H. C. L.

Delegates to the Southern Commer- | cial Congress, which convened here today, expressed gratification over the acceptance by Mrs. Clarence Crittén- Calhoun of the office of president eral of the woman's board of the congress. The belief was expressed that the board will be able to do ef- fective work In reducing the cost of living. Mrs. Calhoun is understood to have iaade some definite plans for the woman's auxiliary, which will be di- rected toward bringing the producer directly to the consumer without the middleman. Mrs. Calhoun became the president of the Drama League of Washington last November. She is a member of the National Penwoman's League and vice president of theWomen's Welfare Association. —_— Among feats of slow smoking, the following would be hard to beat: That of M.
