Vetoes By Gov Dunne On Harbor Bill And Engineer Board
Springfield July 5 Gov Dunne vetoed the Calumet harbor bill and signed Curran bill for state regulation of structural engineers. He accepted the resignation of J J O Rourke postmaster Harvey from the seventh senatorial district. The Olson measure creating a state board of moving picture censors remains. Dunne argues the harbor bill would allow a 99 year lease of Calumet lake land to Chicago, transferring state land to the city without state treasury gain. He calls the bill a dangerous gift to private interests and detrimental to public welfare. The governor’s action leaves one bill in his hands and his final decision will be announced after returning from Washington.

Washington July 5 German reply to the last American note on submarine warfare probably will not be received for at least another week Ambassador Gerard reports no fixed date but believes a week may be needed to finish the communication He notes Germany will make a counter proposal and the exact nature is being discussed by various elements in Berlin Officials view the delay as hopeful and likely to bring the two nations toward a mutual understanding Berlin aims to avoid attacks on passenger vessels while trying to prevent allies from shipping contraband and large quantities of ammunition A proposed approach suggested in Berlin would shield merchant ships from attack while having the United States interpret what constitutes a vessel engaged in passenger traffic The United States asserts the right under international law for citizens to travel on all ships Whether Americans should avoid passages on contraband ships is a moral obligation Germany hopes to create such a moral constraint A joint British American German American inspection of submarines is seen as a possible basis for a partial understanding
