PIEZ CONTRADICTS GILLEN CRITICISM OFSHIPPING BOARD WORK
(By Associate press) WASHINGTON, Jan. 22. Claims that the report of Martin J. Gillen to the ' committee was wholly wrong In ell vital questions, were made here today in a statement submitted to the Select committee on United States Shipping Board Operations by Charles Piez, former, director general. United States Shipping Board Emergency Fleet Corporation. - In this statement Mr. Pie claims that statements in Mr. Gillen's report do not square with the facts in a single vital case in which he indulged in criticism concerning the division of construction; that Mr. Gillen's statement that there was interference between management and trustees ' in placing of contracts is wholly untrue; that Mr. Gillen is guilty of gross misstatement of facts regarding the Fleet Corporation's $250,000,000 mortgages and securities and that Mr. Gillen's statement of lack of an accounting system is wholly wrong. Asserts Gillen Is Wrong. Mr. Piez's statement further claims that Mr. Gillen's report regarding the Fleet Corporation's check against authorizations and appropriations is absolutely wrong; that his statement on Control and Imprest fund has no foundation In fact and that the destructive effect of Mr. Gillen's testimony has seriously impaired public interest in the establishment of an American Merchant Marine, and practically destroyed the market for shipping securities. Mr. Piez's. statement says that ships were built to meet the necessities of war, not to establish a merchant marine; that, the emergency fleet corporation delivered 479 ships before the armistice was signed; that the task was to build ships faster than submarines conld sink them which was a war assignment and not a peace undertaking, and that the building of ships was conducted in a systematic and business-like manner. Mr. Piez contends in his statement they had to build wooden ships knowing they would be scrapped when-conditions got back to normal; that because of the demand , of the war department for more ships that Mr. E. N. Hurley. Bainbridge Colby and himself requested Charles M. Schwab to join the organization and that General George W. Goethals inaugurated the accounting system. Public Required Wood Ships. Mr. Piez's statement says that he suggested in December, 1917, that no further contacts for wood ships be let. but the board of trustees was obliged to keep on building when pressure for anything that would float became so intense in the early spring of 1918. The claim says that there was not a voice in or out of congress that was raised in protest at that time against a continuation of the wood ship biulding program. Wood ships represent a legitimate war expense, according to his statement, which adds: "They should-be junked and the cost written off. This nation can not expect to realize a salvage of 100 per cent on war construction. We must recognize that ships, like, merchandise, become shop worn when held too long." The statement says there was some pay-roll padding, some petty dishonesty, but no more than there would be in yards under private control. Mr. Piez's statement begins by addressing Mr. Joseph Walsh, chairman, and says : "The effect of the testimony thus far presented before your committee has been to seriously impair public interest in he establishment of an American merchant marine, to practically destroy the market for shipping securities, and to make the already difficult task of the United States Shipping board much more difficult. Admits Petty Graft. "This inference on the part of the public is in large measure the result of wild statements made by Mr.. Gillen concerning the methods of the fleet corporation and to the general statements of graft and corruption contained in the Fisher-Richardson report. The public does not dlfferentate the division of construction from that of operations, and concludes that because there was petty graft among minor ships' officers in the victualling and repairing of ships in operation that the entire structure of the corporation, from top to bottom, was honeycombed by a like condition. "Graft in ship operations has from time to time beennoaoveoinh cfi time immemorial been considered as one of the perquisites of the petty officers and is a difficult disease to eradicate. It .has no place in the operation of an American fleet, and should be treated with an iron hand. "But it is to be regretted that the Fisher-Richardson charges are couched in sluch general terms that they have besmeared the whole structure of the shipping board and fleet corporation with the slime of suspicion. Many of the charges should have been made in the police courts rather than in a repot t of such importance. Takes Up Diesel Engine. "Mr. Denman," said Mr. Piez, "in some recent utterances has dwelt on advantages of the Diesel engine. I need only say that Mr. Hurley, Mr. Schwab, Mr. Rossiter and all of the men in our technical department were as consolotous of that as Mr. Dennian. "Mr. Schwab's plants were completing a very large two-cycle engine about the time of the armistice, and expected to try it out in one of the Bethlehem ore ships. "It is well to bear in mind that only n very few engines of a size large enonsn tor even a t,uu'i ion carpo snip, had up to that time been built; that no ships in the United States were prepared to deliver anything over 750 horsepower at that time, and that we could neither wait or take the chances Involved. Mr. Murley bought two Burmeister and Wain engines immediately after the armistice for installation iii a fleet corporation ship. , . Expedite Time in Ports. "Mr. Denman's criticism as reported in the press, of the complexion of the frhlp control committee is unfounded. England had made enormous purchases on this side, of war materials. War hips at that time carried the major part' of the tonnage and ' she was mightily interested in expediting the turn around of vessels and relieving congestions at our ports. Merchandise for export was backed up for many miler behind our chief ports and Mr. Hurley's appointment of Messrs. Frank Raymond and Sir Cannop Guthrio. r.-crked order out of chaos, and re-

Another was contained in a story which seems incredible now, but may readily have been possible at that time, before the beginning of the great war. The story wa3 to the effect that Germany had approached Great Britain with a proposal that Great Britain, Germany and France insist upon their right to intervene in the disturbed and revolutionary state of affairs in Mexico. The story continued to the effect that Great Britain had refused to do anything which would seem unfriendly to the United States, and that President Wilson, in return, was eager to do the gracious thing which should show Great Britain our appreciation. Uses Device. In any event the bill for the repeal of the exemption to American ships was introduced and encountered much opposition in congress. To overcome this opposition President Wilson again fell back upon the device of requesting that his wishes be met for reasons that he did not feel willing to disclose. The significant sentences from President Wilson's request which made congress willing to take action to which its judgment was opposed were these: - "We ought to reverse our action without raising the question whether we were right or wrong, and so once more deserve our reputation for generosity and the redemption of every obligation without quibble or hesitation. 1 ask this of you in support of the foreign policy of the administration. I shall not know how to deal with matters of even greater delicacy and nearer consequence if you do not grant it to me in ungrudging measure." Bill Passed. In response to this cryptic urging the repeal bill was passed, and since

then American ships passing through the canal have been paying tolls the same as the ships of every other na
tion. But there was always much restlessness on the part of members of congress,- who were dubious over what had been' done. Undoubtedly, the matter would not have, rested so long as it has but for the fact that only a few weeks later the. great, war .began .and submerged this Issue. , s . ; Subject Omitted. ' When the two party platforms were written. In 1916 the war was still on, and he subject, was not mentioned but when the Republicans came together tor their convention last June the subject was again brought up. The Republican platform, when adopted, contained a plank, to the effect that the treaty,' if put in power; would repeal the. act and would exempt American ships, engaged In ' coastwise ' traffic from paying tolls. .-: Committee In Dark. It is an illuminating commentary on how; platforms are written and how things are done at party conventions that I asked nearly everyone of the 52 members of the committee on resolutions of the Republican convention' just how this plank happened to appear in the platform and who introduced it. Of the 52 members fully 40 were as surprised as any 'outsider was to find the plank In the platform which they themselves had drafted, and only four knew anything of its origin. The facts are that the plank was drafted by Senator Borah of Idaho, and put in the platform almost wholly through the activity of him and Senator Smoot of Utahl Senator Jones of Washington, was also instrumental. . Domestic Matter. In taking this action, Senator Smoot and Senator Borah, and Senator Jones had little thought of our foreign relations. With them it was wholly a domestic matter. - Not merely a domestic matter, but a local matter. It reflected the wish pn the part of shippers of lumber and other heavy commodities on the Pacific coast for an opportunity to send their goods to the markets" of the eastern coast with the smallest possible expense for freight. Incidentally, when the bill comes up for passage it will encounter a certain amount of opposition which will he hist as local and sectional in its motive as the advocacy of the bill is. The shippers and other business men of the Mississippi Valley, who are-compelled to iely on railroad transportation, feel that the passage of this act will give Pacific coast shippers an unfair advasre over them. "Exemption Unfair." A leading paper of the Middle West, the Chicago Tribune, has said: "It is not good judgment, good .diplomacy, good economics, or good politics to free American ships from the Panama canal tolls." . This argument is bas'ed on the ground that the exemption "would be unfair to inland cities, agricultural interests, and manufacturers, who helped to pay, and are still helping to pay for the construction of the canal." Sectional Problem. Which this Panama tolls bill comes up in congress the fight will be largely one of sectional interest. It will hang chiefly on freight rates and manufacturing costs. Of course, it will also have an international angle, for the thing cannot be done in honor without taking into consideration the old Hay-Pauncefote treaty. On this latter point Republican leaders themselves differ. Elihu Root believes that we cannot exempt our ships consistent with the treaty. On the other hand, ex-Senator George Sutherland of Utah, whom Senator Root holds to be as good a lawyer as himself, believes that a correct interpretation of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty does not forbid us to exempt American ships.

Artifacts have been , collected from every county in the state, and considerable interest has been manifested in thee archaeological discoveries in many localities. - The mounds of Knox county, near Vincennes, are perhaps the largest in Indiana. One of these earthworks was located in the town of Wortbington in Greene county and yielded a human skulL copper axe and other relics. Perhaps, the best known work are the . stone fortifications and mounds on the Ohio fiver, east of Charleston, Clark county. These are widely known and of such importance that a state park, in the opinion of Dr. Logan, should . be established to include these archaeological works.
