J. J. HILL ON OCEAN NEEDS.
Says United States Requires Intelligent
Legislation, not Ship Subsidies

st Paul, Mimi, July sl.-The announcement that
the Hill lines had abandoned the marine portion
Of their share in the trade with Japan and China,
while retaining affation with japanese steamship
lines, came as surprise TO many people of the
Northwest. According 10 James J. Hill Of the
Great Northern. chairman Of the board, i was TO
be expected.
Why" said Mr. Hill to-day, Our Pacific trade
has been gone for year. AS leng fifteen
months ago 1 told them what coming
tinentaI roads in withdrawing from the Pacific
carrying trade due to resentment at the action
of the Interstate Commerce Commission, Mr.. Hill
replied:
Resentment No The commission cannot be
blamed for enforcing the law. The Pacific trade
was given up because II did not pay America to-
day has flag the high seas, or might as
well not have, for we cannot compete with any
other country, and hand the load over to
anybody that asks for ii. The only way for US
TO continue the Pacific trade would be for the
railroads to own their steamers and run them
at heavy loss
I'VE are seafaring nation We have no
sailors, though under the law Americans must
constitute 5vFo-thirds three-fourths Of the
crews What we must have to make an ocean
carrying trade possible Is not subsidies. but in
teIgent egislation-legislation that helps instead
