SHE TWO PRoPOsITIoNs OF THE
SHIP SUBSIDY BILL.

The ship subsidy bill involves two dis
tinct and separate propositions 1t pro-
poses 20 build up merchant marine of
the heavy, freight carrying class, running
at a speed of from ten to fourteen knots
an hour, to develop and carry on a posi-
bly, vast export trade in farm products
and other goods, and open up for them
new markets in Asia, South America and
Africa. Incidentally, these ships could
also be chartered as transports and col
Hers in case of war.
Another object of the bill is to aid and
further develop a class of swift running
steamers, making twenty-one knots or
more per hour. These would be of but
little value to our commerce, devoted,
as they would be, chiefly to the mail and
passenger traffic; though, OF course, in
case of war. they might be fitted up and
used as auxiliary cruisers.
The distinction is plain. The people at
large are not interested in furnishing
high grade, swift and elegant liners for

people would just as lief see the Duke of
Manchester and similar dukelets and
countlets come in cattleships, if come

then. should be merely matter of mill
tary expediency.
On the other hand, anything that will
stimulate our commerce and help to find
and retain new markets for the products
Of our farms, mines and factories is
of vital interest to all. And let US make
sure that this will be the effect of any
legislation granting ship subsidies: that
the benefits will accrue to the whole
country and not merely drop into the
capacious maws of some few favored cor
porations.
A ship subsidy is of the same nature
as protective tariff-subsidizing the
manufactures by enabling him to charge
the consumer so much more for his goods
By this ship subsidy the government
would pay part of the freight on our
exports and imports In both cases the
arguments for and against are practically
the same. theoretically and fundamen-
tally both are equally Objectionable, yet.

A WONDERFUL rRoposA1.

The report of the outgoing bodv If

to considerable length in the columns Of
OF the G o e does not naturally pos

Is, however, SO exceptional in its general
purport and especially in certain of its
recommendations, as to entitIe il to CON
sideration when otherwise it might be
dismissed as have been the numberless
corresponding official utterances which,
have passed into the limbo of forgotten
compilation.
The general tone Of that portion of the
RAILROAD commissioners report, Which has
been reproduced in these columns. is.
naturally enough, -congra tulatory.
Whether either the commissioners OF the
public should be congratulated on the
accomplishments of that body is not now
matter of any moment, since the vot-
ing public of the state have not thought
1t advisable to confirm in their selection
of the new board the views or purposes
OF the outgoing commissioners.
The distinctive feature of the report is.
of course, its argument in favor Of the
ownership and operation of the railroads
by public authority. The language
chosen fer the embodiment of this idea
is worthy of reproduction here. It is
as follows:
Their (the commissioners every eff

AS TO CUBA.

AS early as 1909 there was some talk
of acquiring the island of Cuba through
the interposition of Napoleon. In 1923
John Quincy Adams declared that CUBA,
when forcibly disjoined from her unnat-
ural connection with Spain and incapa-
ble-of self government, can gravitate
only towards the North American
Union
In 1859 the senate committee on foreign
relations reported on "a bill making ap-
preparations to facilitate the acquisition
of Cuba by negotiation" The committee
recognized that, as Spain could not long
maintain her grasp on that distant col
ony, there were but three possible alter
natives in regard to the future of the
island: Cd Possession by one of the great
European powers; ~, Independence; 80,
Annexation to the United States.
In regard to the first the committee
said that it would be resisted 'by all the
means in our power" In regard to the
second the committee said: This indie
pendence can only be nominal. 1t can
never be maintained in fact 1t will
eventually faH under some protectorate,
either open or disguised If under ours,
annexation will soon follow as certainly
as the shadow follows the substance An
