president OF the Great Northern Rail-

commerce before the Minneapolis Club
last night Mr. Hill attacked ship sub

I'VE must count ourselves out of the

the game and play the same kind OF
chips that mother nations play. What
we need Is business and not a bonus
NO one wants 10 own and operate
ships in this country now unless he
can connect with the United States
Treasury. but we must create bust
ness. and then there will be those
who will be willing to own and operate
ships without a subsidy"
Speaking OF the Chinese Mr. Hill SAID;
THE Chinese as a mercantile people
are far ahead of the Japanese, and the
Chinese as judges of commodities are
without equals in the world. They are
the only people on earth who can trade
