What course the state department .will' take on the request of the senate foreign relations committee for a copy of the "agree ment"3 reached between Tloland S.

There must be Increased port facilities. In .the port of New York, In order to provide facill tier to take caTe of the present volume of business, the authorities estimate that at least $200,000,000 must be spent. Probably half that sum would create, and equip at least six of the chief lake ports, "and when the St. Lawrence is open, we will get larger Increase of terminal capacity for. less money, by developing lake ports4 than we possibly edny confining ourselevs to the sea "board. ;"6ut" what will the railroads do When the next advance in production comes? There is no more slack in the yStem, no reserve capacity. We must wai,t tilf the rkflroads can expand? Ac the California anti-alien land legisla tion, which the latter is understood to contend is discriminatory against the Japanese as a race. - The action of the senate committee today was taken in executive session at the instance of Senator Johnson, of California, who previously had" called upon Secretary Colby to malie public the result of Ambassador Morris's dis cussions. The secretary has refused to accede to the. previous demands for publication and it has been intimated that final action pn- the subject. In volving as it does probably the amend ment of existing treaties or the draft ing of entirely new agreements, would be left for the Harding administration. "Senator Johnson has attacked the proposed agreement because of his un derstanding that it would involve a gentleman's agreement which in prac tice would not operate to exclude Jap anese from thi country. Mi tually. we can get the St. Lawrence 1 - . , open, and the. lake ports running in ONE DEAD, ELEVEN, HURT IN GEORGIA RA1JL WRECK less time and at less cost, then the port of . New York alone can rebuild and newly equip its terminal system. "The delivery of farm products from the., far west has been pretty well dis couraged. It doesn't pay to ship a long distance. The rate advance is reducmg the "railroad system to hauling com modities from twenty-five miles, say up 4o"5ft0, with an extreme range of about a thousand miles. If you have to go more than a, thousand miles by rail, unless your product is highly concen trated, look out. "Let -me remind you that nowhere else in. the world is there an attempt to carry on extensive production more than' a thousand miles from "the, water base. If this country is not to be ma rooned, .we must have the short road to the sea, and that will be ours when, following nature's hint, the way of the St. Lawrence is opened." , Box-Cars Strike Seaboard Pas senger Coach RAILROAD LABOR BOARD RECESSES UNTIL THURSDAY CHICAGO, Feb. 8.

Wim 1111 , Jane Burr says: "I have heard many a girl in an office say: 'There is no way out of here except through the church door. Which proves that to many women matrimony Is simply an easier way of earning a living than working in an office." ' "In some thtngs I am willing to let a man be head. He could take care of such enterprises as crossing the street, helping a woman through, crowds, and paying the subway fare." "Once, inside the doors of his home, though, his power should end. Then he Is hers." 1 "A woman wants to mother a man like- a baby only if she respects what he has been doing in the day time- If he is a baby twenty-four hours a day a woman gets sick of mothering him:" "After all, there is only one way to get on with a man cultivate a soapy vocabulary' "This minister, says women tn their dress are not as modest as men. Does he know that all women's clothes are designed by men?" WASHINGTON, Feb. 8. The senate naval committee has concluded from testimony of -naval experta that it would be unwise and inadvisable to stop work for six months on capital ships building for the navy while ex perts 'study the question of best types based on the lessons of- the World war. In response to Senator Borah's reso lution of inquiry as to the adyisability of such a move, the committee will re port Its conclusions to the senate, probably tomorrow. Its report! will be prepared by Senator Poindexter, Re publican, Washington, who was in structed to draft it after final commit tee action on the proposal today. The committee acted in executive session, but so far as could be learned there was no division of opinion, at least as expressed In the vote cast. Action was taken soon after members of the naval general board appeared to oppose the proposal. Previous to that the committee had heard Secretary Daniels and Rear Admiral 'W. S. Sims, president of the naval war college at Newport, R. I., and Admiral Fiskc, former aid for operations. The house naval committee contin ued today its study of the disarmament question, hearing Sir Prilllp Grbbs, British war correspondent, who said Great Britain would not enter a race with 'the United StateB for sea power. England, he said, did not nave the money, and he added, most English men' do not regard an American navy as a menace.
