Irani- ;«nd f-meful. I>*it hardly fit for pub
li&tioii. in uiom instances, even if per
mission to publish had been framed.
About the mildest < haructertzation given
<-onfidetitially was that the President h id
"rhetorically passed the buck."
■flie insouciant inaiiner in which the
I'resident Massed to the Republicans the
re*poimii»f*ii \ for fiudlng the proper solu-
tion lor problems seemed to be distinctly
irrttstlng t<» tliern If wan noted that he
staled the problems with t'oree and (h*ar-
leoss and with full appreciation of their
crinritv. but that when it came to suggest
t lis method* by which they could be worked
out the i'resideut in moat instances avoided
i definite commitment.
A»cording to the Republican view, the
j President was definite in his recooimenda
tions only on questions with which the
Republicans will find it troublesome
deal. His recommendation that Congress
remove the ban upon manufacture aud su.-e
of wines and beer was regarded bv the
Republicans as evasixe and designed to
embarrass them.
I There was no reason, they say. why tne
last Congress should not have passe 1 iegi-
' latum removing that restriction. T:ie lag-
T\SKS is,atK'n ' ol,bi have been made eff-« tivc at
1 a date when demobilisation, in the I'resi-
dent s judgment, was sufficiently fir *<1

icommendation of the President would pc
ignored.

>\ hile the President recommended the
return of the railroads and the telegiaph
lines to their owners, lie left to the Re-
publican majority the full responsibility
without spe. ifie suggestion from nim of the
• '■nditlons under which the,return is to be
made.
In dealing with the •inestion of labor
Ihe President expressed radical ricws*hut
the criticism was made bv the Republicans
that he did not commit himself to definite
recommendations. Speaking of the strife
that has i-'one on between capital aud
labor, the President said that was un os-
ential of industrial peace that there should
lie " a genuine eo operation and partner
ship based upon a real community of in-
terest and participation in control." The
Republicans would have liked the Preni
dent to have stated his Ideas for the
bringing about of this "participation of
control." ^
But the President did not see fit to
force his views on the Republican major
ity. lie modestly said: "The members
of the t omniittees on labor in the two
houses will hardly need suggestions from
me as to what means they shall Seek to
make the Federal (Jovernment the agent
of the whole Nation in pointing out, and
it' need be. guiding the process of reor-
ganization and reform."

INJURED AIRMAN ANNOUNCES
DAMAGED PLANE CAN
BE REPAIRED.
By Associated I>» 8*.
ST. .TOllNs. N. F.. May l'O.—Frederick
I*. Raynham, the British aviator, whose In-
tention to attempt the ocean flight simul-
taneously with Harry (J. Hawker, believed
to have been lost at sea, came to grief
when bis Martiusyde plane was wrecked
while running to the 'take-off." an-
nounced today that he was iu the race
again for the first non-stop ocean air
« rulse. Recovered sufficiently from injuries
suffered when bis plane collapsed, to leave
Ills bed, Raynham said that the machine
could be rebuilt with «pare parts at hand,
provided tho motor was in working condi-
tion.
While the Hand ley-I'age and Vimy me-
chanics are assembling their huge machines
for the Atlantic "hop" the little Martineyde
will be removed from the tent ou the
Quidl Vldl field to town for repairs.
Study of weather maps today showed the
growth of the storm which partially
wrecked two of the American seaplanes
near tho Assures and which may have sent
Hawker aud his navigator, Lieut. Com-
mander MacKenxle Grieve; to their deaths
off the Irish coast. The original limited
area of depression off the Azores moved
northeastward, mushrooming as it prog-
ressed. until It covered half the Atlantic,
reaching almost to the shores of Ireland.
Despite the possibility that the Sopwlth
expedition went to Its doom In this gale,
some aviation and wireless officials hebl
to the theory that Hawker had fallen Into
th« sea between Newfoundland and the
trans-Atlantic steamship lane, supporting
their contention with the knowledge that
none of the many vessel* steaming across
the Atlantic had reported sighting the
plaue or hearing its wireless.
Capt. F. W. Morgan, Raynham navigator,
will not be his partner In the new trans-
atlantic flight he is planning. Morgan's
physicians tonight told hiin hta flying days
were over and it might take him two or
three months to recover from the injuries
he suffered lu the wreck of the Martineyde
on Sunday. Raynham has uot* named a
substitute for him.

mately 15 per cent. Both cotton and

PHILADELPHIA, May 20.—Six thousand
employes of the Merchant Ship Building
Corporation, whose plant is at Harriiuan.
Pa.. 011 the Delaware. River, went on strike
today. The walkout is a protest against
uncertainty and delay in settling labor dis-
putes at the yard.
TO REVISE SHIPBUILDNG
PROGRAM TO PEACE BASIS
Br Associated Press,
WASHINGTON, I). C., May 20.—Revision
of the shipbuilding program to a peace-
time basis was put before the representa-
tives it\ Atlantic, Gulf and Luke yards bj
the Shipping Board at a series of con-
ferences concluding today, which were held
preliminary to submission to Congress of
estimates of money needed to finish the
great merchant marine.
The builders were asked if they were
prepared to accept flat prices in lieu of
the old cost plus system, involving a
lower margin of profit and no guarantee
against, increases in the prices of labor and
materials.
Industry Not On Normal Basis.
Chairman Hurley frankly told the yard
representatives that the industry developed
by the war emergency was not on a nor-
mal basis now that peace had come and
that reductions In building costs may be
made to enable American ships to compete
with the foreign product.
T'ntil flat prices can be quoted on ton-
nage the board does not expect to ask
Congress for an appropriation. Nearly
J70o.0U0.u00 will be needed to carry out
contracts which the board already has been
authorized io make. Approximately 750.000
ton? of small ships probably will be can-
celled to allow the substitution of larger
types in the same yards.
JURORS PLOW AS LAWYERS
PLEAD IN FORD CASE

true meaning the sentiment and the desire
to have Anariya and Americans stand for
America, and to uphold that which we rec-
ognise as public law and public order, and
la not open to us, your Honor, to present
to the jury su< h evidence as will enable
the jury to judge whether our motives were
patriotic or sordid? May we not show in
fairness the condition existing at the time
of the alleged libelous editorial and before
was a condition of such anarchy In Mex-
ico that force from the outside alone could
stop it, ami that therefore anyoue who
advocated the abolition of the only means
through which governmental forco could be
exercised. was contributing directly,
whether he understood it or intended It.
to the promotion and the continuance of
tb*t„c°ndltlon oi anarchy, and that thus a
public writer was justified in using com-
pactly the word aua re hist' to denote the
tendency of his doctrine?"
Mr. Lucking then addressed the court!
•I gather it is the desire of Tribune
counsel to try some case other than the
one at issue here." he said. "Some of their
arguments are persuasive, but unsound. It
seems to me that the issues as they havt>
outlined them haw been left in a confused
condition wb reus the law of libel is clear,
especially mm it covers u case like this one.
W e shni! rei, r liberally to Michigan deci-
sions to prove our contention. They claim
that the whole subject of preparedness
comes properly before this court. In other
words, that what must be decided by Con-
gress must t.rnt be decided here."
Mr. Lucking then read an editorial from
yesterday a Tribune, in which the case waa
ftxei-red 10, not as a personal affair between
Mr. Ford and the publishers, but ss a
great public Issue, with pacifists and inter-
nationalists on one side and nationalists
on the other—a contest between idealists
and realists.
'Counsel from Chicago would keep us
here a year if it could, until the jury would
have forgotten all about what was at is-
sue," he said. "It is a rule of law to get
to an issue and then try it. but the Tri-
bune would 11 ko to forestall Congress."

i The annoying "pull" of shaving
—how to correct it
PULLING occurs only when
the razor blade is dull.
You can avoid the discom-
fort of a pulling razor, and the
skin irritation that is sure to
follow, if you use the razor
that provides a keen edge for
every shave—the AutoStrop
Razor.
The AutoStrop Razor
Blades are made of the hard-
est and toughest steel pro-
duced for razor blades. They
provide the sharpest, finest
kind of cutting edge.
To keep these blades keen-
edged as when new, the
AutoStrop Razor is made with
a patented, self-contained
stropping feature.
A pressure of your thumb
adjusts the blade for close,
medium or light shaving.
In fact; the whole AutoStrop
Razor is so simply, so effici-
ently built that it sharpens,
shaves and cleans without
removing the blade.
Ask your dealer about, the
free trial plan.
