WORDS OF WARNING.

April, 1928, In the course of the debate
In congress upon the pending tariff
bill. Mr.. Sprague. of Maine, represent
ing a constituency of shipbuildersy
used some words of prophecy and OF
warning which have close applica-
ton TO the conditions Of to-day. He
said:
Our shipping Is essential 10 our navy
Without civil marine you cannot have q
military marine. Without commerce and
navigation you cannot have n navy. You
may build ships OF war. and put on board OF
them officers and men. but II you have not
seamen, you have not a navy. ~. Ma
poleon had every material but the seamen.
and these even the creative genius OF Ma
poleon could not make a.. :. Sir, n we
have one just conception OF what belongs
to the interests, the honor. the security OF
our country, we shall throughout our pub

our navigation and our navy; and when
political life shall be drawing 10 close.
and we are about to depart forever from
our country's service. let our last advice 10
those who shall survive us be the exhorta-
ton which trembled on the tongue or de-
parting hero-"never. never give up your
ships"
These words are to-day as true az
they were 10 years ago, and current
events have verified them In striking
manner. There Is to-day a lack OF
American seamen TO man the ships or
the American navy. In the case OF
several merchant steamers chartered
or purchased outright by our govern
ment for war purposes, the crews or
foreign sailors refused TO serve on
board these ships, and some embar-
RAISING delays In the movement OF
auxiliary cruisers and transport YES
sells occurred In consequence. Foreign
seamen are an uncertain reliance In
time of war. Then II Is that we need
American born sailors who glory In
the privilege of fighting under their
own flag.
The breeding place of the native
born American sailor Is the merchant
marine. Once the United States shall
have resumed it's rightful place and OBJ
tanned It's rightful share In the oversee
commerce of the world, there will ba

ships and fire our guns. Mr.. Sprague
OF Maine could not have spoken more
TO the purpose II he had In 1928 dis
tinctly foreseen the great naval events
Of 1898. His wise words should be heed
ed now more than ever before In the
country's history: "Never, never. give
up your ships!"
