FOR AID TO SHIPPING

Would Have Passed.

Senator Gallinger. Of New Hampshire,
made strong speech In New York last
night In favor Of restoring our merchant
marine by Government aid 10 the posi-
tion Il once held.
He was a guest at the banquet given
oy the Society OF Naval Architects and
Marine Engineers Senator GaIlinger
had been the chairman OF the Merchant
Marine Commission and hfs rerna ~ .
therefore carried with them the weight
of authority.
The Senator said it was a matter of
shame when one recalls the old condi-
ton OF the American merchant marine
II was sad commentary on American
Industry, be said, to know that the
American flag had been driven from the
seas.
Senator GalIinRer said that when the
commission was hearing those interested
In the subject the commission was sur
prised one day 70 hear a witness say
that three times he had been around
the world and had never seen an Ame-t-
can flag in any foreign port unless IL
was on an American warship, or the
yacht OF an American millionaire.
Would Have Passed.

drawn by the commission. expressed the
opinion that IL would have passed al
the last Congress had IL been reached
on the calendar
The Senator stated that the United
States was behind every maritime ma
ton III the world.
Only Thing Unprotected.
II Is a remarkable fact that shipping
is the only industry IN this country :ha
receives no protection from the Gov
eminent. The Federal Government. h
said, protects our coastwise and Grea
Lakes trade but Il doesn't help our ship
ping on the high seas
In concluding his speech. Senate
Gallinger said that unless there wa
some legislation, such as recommends,
BY the Merchant Marine Commission
