''Grain dealers of Kansas City were

bullion was broken open at Dalhart,

sent up the line to reseal it and discov-

The officers suspect that some of it will
be missing, for several bonded cars

as none of them contained bullion the
contents were not molested. This time
the silver was found and the officers

FOR MERCHANT MARINE.
Commercial Club Urges Congress to
Take Action.

The Topeka Commercial club places
itself on record, by the adoption of a
committee report, as urging congress
toward legislation for the development
of the merchant marine of the United
States. The report of the committee on
state and national legislation was made
at the December monthly meeting of
the club last night upon the advisa biz
tty of the restoration of the prestige Of
the maritime interests of this country.
The report is self explanatory. 1t is as
follows:
Your committee on state and national
legislation, to whom was referred the
correspondence of the New York Board
of Trade, relative to the restoration of
the American merchant marine, in
struct me to submit the following re-
port:
An investigation shows that our mer-
chant marine instead of keeping pace
with our commercial development, has
actually declined. Our registered ocean
fleet in 1910 was 108, 600 tons larger than
1t is now. A comparison of the ton
mage of fleet registered for deepsea COM
merce of several nations shows the in
excusable weakness of our merchant
marine.

The United States has developed the
most marvellous foreign commerce of
any nation in the world. We are send
ing into other lands nearly five million
dollars worth of American products and
commodities every day, but it is sig
nificant fact that American ships carry
less than 8 per cent of our exports and
imports The tribute paid to foreign
ships for conveying merchandise to and
from the United States amounted to
over one hundred million dollars last
year. Our country is foremost in near
ly all lines of industrial and CONNER
cial development, but it is tagging be-
hind even the smaller foreign nations
in its merchant marine. The patriotic
praise and the commercial instinct of
our people suggest the Improvement of
our fleet commensurate with our COM
mercial needs.
Without committing ourselves to any
definite plan, We urge upon congress
the commercial necessity of prompt and
decisive action to the end that all
American commerce may be carried in
American vessels. A patriotic and self
reliant people will be satisfied with
nothing less than this.
