CUMMINGS URGES GOVERNMENT
MANUFACTURE MUNITIONS
A, P. A. Service.
Washington, Jan. 20.—senator
Cummings today strongly urged upon
the senate the necsaity for the govern
ment manufacturing its own war mu
nitions. The senator declared that one
u. the strongest influences against pre
patedness was the argument that pri
vate manufacture for profit was an
enormous Incentive to Influence for
war.
It was absolutely necessary to pre
pare, he said, as the nation could not
expect to remain wholly free from ag
igresslon In the future. Arms and sol
Idiers must be provided and the country
placed in a condition to repeal in
vasion. Even those who were not
wholly opposed to preparation recog
nized this, Cummings contended, but
at the same time they were convinced
that if the country was fully armed
the greed of the private munitions
makers would drive It to war upon the
slightest excuse.
This, Cummings said, was probably
All possibilities of this character
could be obviated, however, by the
simple process ol placing the manu
.:u:tuie of war munitions directly In
.he hands of the government. In ad
I lition, the government would be gftv
| lisnif the handsome profits of the
munition makers. “By the govern
I nent manufacturing its own war mu
l iilons. It will eliminate private profltj
as an influence for war." the senator
oi'cln red. *

WASHINGTON, Jo. 20.—The ap
propriation committee of the house of
representatives today reported favor
ably on the two million dollar appro
priation asked by the department of
tlie interior for the purpose of con
tinuing the work of construction on
the Alaska railroad.
The appropriation will be Included
in the urgent deficiency bill to be
presented next week. Intervention and
preparedness are lire two primary
topics In Washington and a large part
of the discussion going on In congress
borders on those topics and also form
the chief topic of conversation In pri
vate circles. The shipping bill which
formed the principal object of atten
tion at the last session is scarcely con
sidered at present. To all appearances
the modified bill fathered by the ad
ministration will receive no great
amount of opposition.

FORD EXPEDITION

' A. 8. A• Service.
THE HAGUE, Jan. 20.—To all ap
pearances tho Ford peace expedition
is lacing disruption owing to the dls
| nenslons said to have arisen among
the members since they have bean here.
* The latest cause of contention Is said
to be tho desire of a large number of
the members to transfer their activi
ties to Stockholm. Sweden, where, they
contend they will be In a better posi
tion to operate, owing to the greater
i freedom of movement than Is to be ob
tained here.
The Fordltes are also opposed to
tho activities of Mme. 8chwlmmer, who
Is It Is alleged has stirred up all kinds
of trouble in the party by bringing the
natonaiity question into the delibera
tions.
It is charged that Ford's expert has
tiled to line up those with pro-Ger
man leanings against the Americans
on all occasions. Mrs. Fela, the Phila
delphia woman is said to have become
disgusted with the methods of Mme.
Schwimmer and Is running out on a
pretext of going to England until Bry
an and Ford arrive. Mrs. Fels ;a very
outspoken In her charge that Mme.
Schwimmer has stirred up all kinds
of Intel national strife. From all ac
counts It appears that the party la on
the verge of going to pieces,
