' Washington, Sept. 1. -The right Of the United States to buy merchant ships - of any nationality for neutral . purposes cannot be disputed by any nation, declared- -Secretary McAdoo of the treasury department' today be- fore the house merchant marine committee, supporting the . adminis- tration merchant marine bill.. Mr. 1\lcitoo° refused, however, to discuss the diplomatic phases of the situation when asked if protests had been received from Great Britain or France against the possible govern- ment purchase of -German vessela.___ b Hearings on the bills were circulat- ed today, and it will be taken up to- morrow for immediate committee ac- tion. An early report . of the house is expected. Secretary McAdoo heartily endors. ed the Alexander bill, which provides for the organization of a $10,000,001) corporation, with power to buy, build and operate ships in- the -foreign trade, and the government majority stockholder. Ile said that as some of the lines to be established would probably be operated at a loas, private capital would not be attracted, the govern- ment probably Supplying the entire capital. \Do you understand,\ Representa- tive Sanders asked, \that there is grave objection on the part of Eng- land and France to our taking over the German bottoms which have been driven out of 'the foreign trade by war?\ \Of course, - I -eannot discuss -the diplomatic phases of the question,\ said Secretary McAdoo. \That is the business of the stet? department. It cannot•be successful- ly disputed, however, that this gov- ernment has the right to buy ships trom German companies, or anyone else, so long as it buys those ships for neutral uses.\ \It is stated that payment for the ships would be in the nature of sap - plying funds to a belligerent\ nation,\ observed kepresentative ,Sanders. \The ships are not owned by the government. They are owned by s ,pri- vote citizens, not the government,\ answered Mr. McAdoo. \But it is said that these lines are closely.eonnecte.d 'With the gov- ernment; that payment would virtual- ly be to the government,\ Mr. Sand- ers persisted. \I think there is nothing in that objection,\ said the secretary. \There is no more punctilious citi- zen of the United States with re- spect to neutrality,\ he continued, \than the president, who would be the chief representative of the gov- ernment in the 'Company to be form- ed under this bill. We can rest as- sured of absolute neutrality.\ The secretary answered that the government would he in the same position as a private stockholder, so far as international conditions were concerned, and that the question of sovereignty would never be raised in a. prize court. ARCHBISHOP OF BOLOGNA, IT- ALY, CHOSEN SUPREME PON- ... . TIFF OF CATHOLIC CHURCH The sacred college of cardinals yes- terday elected Cardinal Giacomo Del- la Chiesa, archbishop of Bologna, su- preme pontiff to succeed thp late Pope Piiix X. His coronation as Ben- edict XV. will take place Sepetember Immediately after his election the pontiff said he could not imagine how his frail being was capable of en- during the enormous weight of re- , sponsiblity thrown upon his shoulders, especially at a moment when all the countries of Europe were stained with blood; when the wounds inflicted up- on humanity also were inflicted upon the church, and when countless vic- tims of the war were being cut down. The war, he said, had armed faith- ful against faithful, priest against priest, while the bishops of each country offered prayers for the suc- cess of the army of his nation. But victory for one side meant slaughter to the other, the destruction of chil- dren equally dear to the heart of the pontiff. The conclave of the sacred college had been in session since the even- ing of Monday, August 31, and the final vote was not taken until this morning. When the -name of Cardinal Della Chiesa was . cried out by the cardinal scrutineers as having receiv- ed the prescribed two-thirds vote there was much excitement among the members of the conclave. Then followed the traditionalform- ula, the cardinal being asked as to' whether he accepted the election. Amid breathless silence he answered 'n the affirmakiVe, but his reply, ow- ing to profound emotion, was scarce- ly audible. Immediately all the car- dinals removed the canopies from abotre - tlittr ditaita, • this beinr-timit -tangible sign that the leadership of the church had passed from them to the newly elected pontiff. Later, during the course of a re- ception of -laymen, the pope spoke of America, which, he said, was espec- ially dear to him. He expressed great admiration for the genius of its peo- ple, which was comparable only to their religious zeal, and he added: \I am glad that my first apostolic benediction abroad will be forward- ed to America, where the American cardinals will at a later date impart it to the people directly.\ The pon4ftelso expressed the hope 6 ettunt Ciehinowsky, German amhao, ss,dor to England, leering the forelitvi office in London after the deelaratioq \ of war. .• that with America in favor of peace, together with the prayers raised to the 'Almighty tl)roughout the world, peace would cable soon, In the history of papal conchtliVS; the, present conclave was unique.ln- iismuch as theocratically the election of any cardinal was possible, while in previous canclaves there were spec- ial designations., On the election of Cardinal Della Chiesa, Mgr. Pooggiani, secretary to the conclave, with the master of cer- emonies, the deati of the cardivials and others high in th'e church, bowed be- fore the 'chair in which Cardinal Dal - (Continued on page Eig,ht.)
