Mr. Rees opposed the capturo of mer chant vessels In time of war and called It plrscy. Ho assailed what ho called tho "doublo standard" of British naval power. "Great Britain," h said, "keeps up a largo r.flAy ostensibly for the purpose of protecting her merchant ships and colonies The truth Is, however, that she does this to protect the very few, tho mone)ed class of Kngland. They alone benefit by a large fleet. The average Kngllshmnn does not benefit by the maintenance of this great fleet, which It takes an enormous amount. of taxes to keep up." Ho gave historical Incidents showing tho rivalry between Great Britain and Germany for naval supremac), nnd warned America ngalnst entering Into like competition with any nation. "If the United states .continues Its In sane desire to enlarge her naval pro gram," he went on, "It Is embarking on tho snmo program an Germany did be fore the war. As Secretary Daniels has pointed out, It takes twenty-flvo millions to build a dreadnought. What an cnor mouH amount of good might not such a turn of money do to Philadelphia In the way of tho Improvement of our city!" Mr. Rees advocates State monopoly of all munition plants, ship) arts, steel Industries, etc. "If tho State contiolbd these," he tnld, 'there would bo fewer battleships built, and less danger of war In consequence These battleships) nre largely built for private) benefit " he nld Lieutenant Harry C Mllsom. of the First Battalion Cnnadlans. expressed himself as optimistic as to the future, If only ' wc vjould, like the Lngllsh Tommy nnd tho American Sammy, Just 'carry on ' " Delk Held Under Bail on Libel Accusation Continue 1 from Puce One denial nnd said that Lee was still In the First District Cnptaln McCoach, of the First Police Division, of which the First District In n. nart. wns the next witness He said that he never had any complaint from nny one regarding vice In the (lis. trlct Mr Rorke then told Captain McCoach he was accused of sitting with tho mag istrate at the First District stntlon house and dictating ho should be held or discharged.

ARMOUR FAVORS MEAT AGENCY Tells House Probers Pack ers Desire to Maintain Reasonable Prices DEFENDS THEIR METHOD Admits Excess Profits Taxes Were Passed on to Consumer Bv iic l.tjociuict Prcst N Washington, Jan. 22. Appearing for the second dny before the House Inter stat Commerce Committee, J. Ogden Ar moui, president of Armour & Co., was questioned further today by members of tho committee as to operations of tho ment-paclng Industry. L'stabllshmcnt of a central ngency to control shipments of meat anlmnls, to market was advocated by Mr. Armtfur as a means of stabilizing prices and pre venting gluts In the market. Repl)lng to Representative Stephens, of Nebraska, Mr. Armour said the con sumer could protect himself In a meas ure against high prices by refralnlnjr from purchasing, hut that the producer of livestock, like the packer, had to take whatever the market wan pa) Ins at the time ho sold.fc To Maintain "Reasonable" Price "ffs are very much Interested In maintaining a reasonable price, much more so than In having a price too high to discourage tho eating of meat or too low to prevent the raising of cattle. "You might do away with tho glut on the market hy establishing a central agency to regulate shipments Tho food administration has established n zone svstcm at Chicago, working through the railroads, which had operated fairly well "If there was a little more liberal thought In the treatment of tho pack ers It would be one hundred times better for the general public The packers have been afraid even to talk together because of charges of collusion. There ought to be some way for the packers, producers and consumers to get to gether for tho advantage of each." Consumer I'ajs Rxfcsh Prodis Tax Bringing out that the $15,000,i00 earn ings shown In Armour's annual state ment did not Include $0,800,000 set aside for Income and excess profits taxes, Mr. Stephens asked- 'Then )ou are passing that on to the consumer?" "That may be so," Mr Armour re plied ' Representative Hamilton, of Michigan, attempted to develop the possible effect on tho packers of the food relief appro priation of 1100,000,000 requested by President Wilson. "Thev s.av that the fund will enable the packers to sell In southeastern Kurnpe a gnat surplus of salt porlc which Ins been accumu'iited In Hngland and which the people there won't eat now that the war crisis Is past," Mr. Hamilton said Mi. Amour leplled that the packers perhaps had larger stocks of salt pork than ordinarily, hut he thought there wns going to be a demand for It Questions iih to tho effect on prices hero of the removal of the duty on hides caused a flit between .Mr Hamil ton and Representative Dewalt, of Penn rjlvanln, who snld the Republican mem i rs were going outside the' hill before I! e committee to drag In the tariff. Mr. Armour said ho did not know what the effect 1 ad been. tthv Parkers Advertise Asked as to the Armour advei Using campaign, the witness rep'led that he regretted It had been necessary to do a great deal more advertising than usual since tne Federal Trade Commission stnrted Us crusade, or whatever )ou call It. against the packing Industr)." He suld th,e packers had to Inform the public of their side of the question be cause they hnd had no chance until now to make other reph to tho commission's charges Mr Armour'H statement )esterday that the bill pending to license the pack. Ing Industry and to permit the govern ment to take over s"tock)ards and re frigerator cars was unconstitutional was touched on by Rcprcumtative Hamilton. The witness said he thought the bill was to "ridiculous" that he had not In tended to go Into detail regarding It, but that his counsel would give the constitutional objections If the commit, teo desired.
