BIRKENHEAD FIRES BROADSIDE AT COOK British Cabinet Member Ac- cuses Miners’ Chief of Taking Soviet Cue. By the Associated Press LONDON, June 23 Following closely upon a decision of the Labor party offer strenuous opposition to the government's new bills, which have as their purpose a reorganization of the mining industry, the Barl of Rirkenhead, secretary for In has delivered a verbal broadside A. J. Cook, secretary of the Federation. Cook was charged by Lord head, in a speech last night. of aim- ing at the destruction of the coal- iining industry and nationalization of the mines. He virtually accused Mr. Cook and his followers of taking .Hwh‘ cue in the labor situation from Soviet Russia. Lord Birkenhead said he and his colleagues were fully determined that if they were driven to it “by this attempt to blackmail society by men who declare they have a strangle hold on the vital chords of industry we shall once again, sorrowfully but resolutely, gird ourselves for a great struggle. We shall not permit the nation to be destroyed. “We who have broken down every despot in Europe will not be broken iown by men who take their biddings from a discredited revolutionary junta in the most poverty-stricken country in Europe.

BYRD SPENDS NIGHT ON SHIP. the others, Stays Off Ambrose Light to Avold Disrupting Reception Plans. NEW YORK, June 23 (#).—Back from the sub-Arctic wastes of Spitz- _| bergen, the stanch little ship Chan- tier rode the waves outside of quar- antine this morning, while New York and the Nation waited to hail another hero, Lieut. Comdr. Richard E. Byrd, the first man to fly over the North Pole. Unhearlded, save by a lone tug, the Chantier with its hero and crew ar- rived in sight of New York last night and dropped anchor 2 miles off Am- brose Light and 30 miles from the Battery. Shouting from the bridge, Comdr. Byrd explained that the early arrival was due to some unexpected good weather. “We have been moving around here just walting to go in, but we did not want to get in ahead of time” he added.. “We have decided to stay here for the night. Decldes Not to Break Plans. Anxious as he was to see his wife, his mother and his brother, Gov. Harry F. Byrd of Virginia, who were in New York waiting to greet him, the explorer decided not to break up the arranged plans for his welcome by a committee of 300 notables of New York, Virginia and the Nation. More than New York's rousing homecoming awalts Comdr. Byrd. After the celebration here is over, he will fly to Washington in a Navy plane. There, both he and Floyd Ben- net, the pilot who accompanied him in his flight over the Pole, will re- ceive the Hubbard medal, an honor of the National Geographic Soclety bestowed on only seven other men. President Coolidge will make the | presentation at a gathering which { will be attended by members of the | cabinet, Assistant Secretary of the Navy Robinson, Anthony Fokker, Supreme Court justices, members of Congress, diplomats and other not- ables. Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, Mrs. Robert E. Peary, widow of the explor- er, and Comdr. Byrd's mother, wife and brother also will be present. Comdr. Byrd and Pilot Bennett will {return to New York Friday and re- {ceive platinum watches from Argonauts, an organization of world 'amous aviators. Senator Praises Navy. The Byrd polar flight “adds addi- tional luster to the history of the | American Navy which has been from | { the beginning one blaze of glory with- {out a single blot of shame,” Senator Swanson of Virginla declared in con- veying to Comdr. Byrd the congratu- lations of his native State. “We have assembled to pay tribute to brave effort in_exploring the un- ! known,” Senator Swanson said. “The | task assigned to me partakes of this | character—that of a United States | Senator being directed to confine his | remarks within a limit of 10 minutes. | If T shall succeed in this achievement, {1 will have accomplished what has been unknown in the history of Amer- lica. A 10-minute speech from a | United States Senator is as rare as | discoverers of the North Pole.” | Senator Swanson reviewed Comdr. | Byrd's early life in Virginia, his gradu- |ation from Annapolis, his subsequent retirement from active service because of physical disabilities and the “new career of usefulness and achieve- ment” which grew from his “‘mastery of aviation in every phase. Recalled to Active Duty. “His attainments became so marked and so thorough,” he continued, “‘that he was recalled to active duty and was assigned to aviation.” In 22 records of superior officers on Comdr. Byrd's ability, he added, are citations for services per- formed over and above the call of duty. Four of these are for bravery. two of which are for extraordinar heroism in saving lives. His last won- derful feat in flying over the North Pole only adds additional renown to a record already replete with splendid achievements.” Senator Swanson also paid high tribute to Comdr. Byrd's ‘‘modest: his self-control and his sensible heai ing,” declaring his modesty “has been equal to his merit. Cites Tribute to Subordinates. ““His generosity in sharing his fame with his subordinates,” Senator Swan- son continued, “in giving just tribute to the achievements of others and especially to his brave and skillful pi- lot, Floyd Bennett, bear testimony to the noble traits of his mind and heart that measure up to the best traditions of Virginia. “Virginia rejoices to have in y worthy descendant of vour illustrious forebears who have contributed so much to the honor and glory of Vir- £inia and the progress of our Nation. Virginia rejoices that in these times, noted for the worship of material wealth, for zealous pursuit of social pleasures and dissipations, she has among her sons one possessed of the old ploneer spirit, daring to venture into the unknown, enduring privation and hardship almost unspeakable, fac- ing trials and dangers without trepida- tion, making all these sacrifices to prove the limitless possibilities of air- craft in peace and war.” Col.

Fletcher Dobyns, former assistant general counsel of the United States Shipping Board, and Sylvester Rush of the Department of Justice will have charge of the prosectuion on behalf of the Government. The approaching proceedings have been pending for four years. The law's delays, for one reason or an- other, have during all that time frus- trated attempts to bring Morse to trial. A complaint on his part, with which the Federal authorities have long been familiar, is that he is too ill to stand trial. Morse for some time has been at his home, in Maine. The Department of Justice's investiga tion having established that he is well enough to come into court, it has been determined that he shall be brought there, even though it become necessary to produce him on a stretcher or in a wheelchair. Released From Prison. In this connection, all official Washington recalls the scandal as- soclated with Morse's release from the Federal prison in Atlanta 14 or 15 years ago. Senator Caraway. Democrat, of Arkansas, brought the affair to congressional attention in 1922 by openly charging that Harry M. Daugherty—acting for Morse several years before Daugherty be- came Attorney General—had brought political influence to bear to secure Morse's liberation.

LEAGUE OF AMERICAN NATIONS PROPOSED Congress in Panama Urged to Form Alliance Against Possible Aggressors. By the Associated Press. PANAMA, June 23.—A resolution recommending common action by the Pan-American states against any ag- gressor state has been unanimously adopted by the Pan-American Con- gress here. The resolution drafted by Senor Arias of Uruguay recommends “The nations of the new world to adopt as a policy of International relations the principle that every act carried out against any of them in violation of precepts universally recognized by international law be considered an offense to all these states and, there tore, to provoke uniform and com- mon reaction by all.” Senor Puig of Ecuador recom- mended action on a suggestion made at the congrt leading to the for- mation of a “League of American | Nations,” Ricardo Alfaro of Panama | urged careful consideration of his proposal before action in view of the efficient work done by the Pan- American Unfon. He suggested that if the new union would attempt to convert the present bond of commer- cial co-operation and cultural prog- ress into political bonds the invita- tion to the union to co-operate in the work would be tantamount to invit- ing it to destroy itself. Senor Puig replied that the nection with Caraway’'s allegations. Daugherty later denied the charge and produced letters from President Taft and Attorney General Wicker- sham (as they then were) exonerat- ing Morse's counsel from improper activities, . There was also much discussion over the methods employed to secure “medical testimony" regard- ing Morse's incapacity to serve out his term at Atlanta. He was sen- tenced to 15 years' imprisonment there for violation of the natlonal king laws. b‘;‘-lav:m retrieved his fortunes, Morse during the World War en- gaged in extensive shipbuilding activ. ities in Virginia and Connecticut. But these were destined to bring him into fresh contact with the Depart- ment of Justice. In 1923 he was in- dioted and tried in the Federal Court at Washington, together with his sons and other associates, for con- spiracy to defraud the United States Shipping Board and Emergency Fleet Corporation. The trial reaulted in an acquittal. Report Favored Morse. According to information reaching this writer from an informed quar- ter in New York, United States At- torney Buchner of that Federal furis- diction put one of his assistants on the Morse indictment, now to be sent to trial, several months ago. This assistant is understood to have recommended a nolle prosequi (non- prosecution) to the Attorney Gen- sral at Washington. Accountants in the Shipping Board, among others, objected to this disposition of the case. Thereupon Oscar R. Luhring, one of the assistants to the Attorney General, took charge of proceedings, and eventually associated with him in the action Fletcher Dobyns and Sylvester Rush. Rush is an oldtime Omaha lawyer, who has tried many cases for the Government. Doby! functioned in the previous prosecu tion of Morse. Nobody knows just how much Uncle Sam has spent trying to send (harles W. Morse to prison and keep- ing him behind the bars. The pres- ent proceedings (the indictment charg- Ing fraudulent use of the mails) have cost in law expenses alone $120.000 while awalting trial, that sum rep- resenting an annual cost of $30,000 for four vears covering the pay of certain legal “‘experts’ in possession of facts necessary for Morse's pros- ecution. The expense aspect is one of the reasons behind the insistence of the Shipping Board legal force that Morse now be put in the dock. The Department of Justice is fully con- vinced that it has a sound indictment and can expect a conviction under it. Morse is 70 years old. F. W.W. (Copsright. 1926.)

By the Associated Press. Adoption by the Panama conference of a resclution favoring joint action by the pan-American countries against any aggressor state is regarded in Washington as an evidence of the good will prevailing at the Panama meeting, rather than as an indication of impending political developments. The conference met on invitation of the Panaman government to com memorate the centennial of the call- ing by Simon Bolivar, in 1826, of the first general gathering of representa s of the pan-American nations. Minister John South, at Panama heads the American delegation, which also includes Prof. Charles W Hackett of the University of Texas and Willlam Jennings Price. The invitation extended by Pana- ma covered only the commemorative | aspects of the conference and the delegates have no plenary powers to commit their governments to any course of action. The resolutions of the conference, therefore, express merely the views of the delegates. It is considered prob- able here that those who supported the resolution recognize fully the dif- ficulties that would be encountered in any attempt to actually secure a binding agreement for aggressive action or set up a “League of Amer- ican Nations,” patterned after the league at Geneva.
