PLANNING FOR DISPOSAL OF SHIPPING BOARDFLEET| 5 The Shipping Board is making good ——————— polioy of the board, which will be de- signed to turn the government fleet over to private ownership as rapidly as possible. Comsultations may be had within the next ten days with financial and operating groups that necessarily would be vital factors in whatever plan is adopted: While - the board has announced formally that there is no present pect of sale of, ships to foreign- it was learned today that this ect is one of the phases being considered by the policy committee, eaded by Commissioner Lissner. The ¢ the committe study, however, progress, it was officially stated last | ti night, in the preparation of the new Statés and an equalization in the rank ! SN of diplomats of all nations were advo- cated by, Dr. James Brown Bcott, di- rector of the Carnegle Foundation and. rmer United States. repre- sentitive at the Versailles peace con- feronce, at a meeting of the Wash- ington Btudy yesterday at the High- lands apartments. Dr. Scott also volced his objectton to secret treaties between nations and geve a brief outline of diplomacy. At a luncheon which followed the meet- ing he spoke on the life of John Hay, describing him as a graet student of diplomacy. ¥ He defined & nation as a corporation ot which all of its citizens are mom- bers and stockholders, and stated that as thiy wag the case, every nation has the same legal rights. “We are too prone to judge the rights of states by power.” he said. “A dwarf has the same rights as a giant, a small state has the same rights as the most pow- erful empire.” Dr. Scott deplored secret treatles between nations, but explained that he did not object to treaties being made in secret. He sald, however, that, “after a treaty has been made that it should be made public before Look over some time in its activities to the this list of D limitations fixed in existing law. The valuation eommittee, headed by Commissioner O'Connor, also reported progress when a questionnalre was completed for submittal to operators and agents which will give the com- mittee the minute detalis of the pres- ent condition of every ship in the board's possession, The government fleet embraces a total of 1,385 vesseis- of all types, Wwhile about 346 steel cargo ships gre in operation. Probably about one- fourth of the total ship posscssions of the board will be sold. S Brazilian government plans to irri- gate several of its states having a total population of 2,600,000.

The speaker said that In the twelve ‘words, “general welfare, lay and col- lect taxes, regulate commerce In the several states” lles the power of the instrument that has been frequently re- ferred to as the greatest work of the human brain, He sald that historfans had over- looked the psychological fact Im- posed upon people that the federal government could do things, which brought the civil war to a successful termination and was the beginning of the realization that federal protec- tion Is above all states’ rights. He pointed to the “untold benefits €0 apparent” resuiting from federal legislation, and said the easlest way to securc it was by constitutional amendment, as proved by the women ©of the country. “There have been approximately 3.000 amendments offered to the Con- stitution,” said Mr. West, “but not one seeks to enlarge the powers of states, while &ll propose to enlarge the power of the federal government.” Outlining the dangers lying in the path of centralized power, such as paternalism, state soclalism and au- tocracy, Mr. West sald “we must seek the middle way and reconcile a strong centralized system with a democratic form of government.” White House Is Pivot. In conclusion Mr. West said that the time had come when the pivot of governmental power was no longer in the Capitol, as was set forth by the framers of the Constitution, but in the White House. He declared that cabinet officers should be given a place In the halls of Congress and be compelled to answer the representa- tives of the people. Claude W. Owen presided, and with George H. Winslow, secretary of the club, was chosen to represent the do- cal club at the forthcoming interna- tional convention of Kiwanis at At- lanta In May. Frank L. Wagner and Franc. Sheiry were chosen as alter- nates. _Announcement was made that the Kiwanis Club of Winchester, Va. be entertained by local Kiwa lans next Thursday. A committee, headed by Max Cunningham and T. W. Barrett, was appointed to meet the visitors at Union station. On motion of Roe Fulkerson, the club unanimously voted to extend an invitation to International Kiwanis to hold its 1325 convention In Washing- on. $3.50 Philadelphia $3.25 Chester $3.00 Wilmington AND RETURN Sunday, March 25 SPBCIAL TRAIN Teaves ‘;l;nuton (Colon Station) Arrives evimington 10:05 A, ester 10:25 A.M., Philadel, 10:30 A M. i Returning, leaves Broad Street Station BN\ 7:30 .M, West Philadelphia 7:35 PO, ‘Chester 7:58 P.M., Wil- mington 8:15 P.M.
