the code prepared 10y the Aero Club OF

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
AID AMERICAN sHIPsUiLDINe.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Your mail subveutiOn section OF
March % was great The bill 20 pay
American built steamships for carrying the
mails TO South America, China, Japan.
Australia and the Philippines will soon be
up for debate in the House. II this bill
becomes n law IL will cause the building
Of thirty-six steamships by our capitalists,
costing more than S500O0.CCO. This will mean
the entering wedge for the restoration Of
our Industries on the ocean
our ancestors left US a coastwise carry
ing trade which we still hold to-day. Cap
tains Of foreign steamships say 1t is the
best In the world to-day. our ancestors
left us q foreign carrying trade. and for
fifty years 90 per cent OF imports and ex-
ports vas carried in American built yes
sells. Columbia was gem OF the ocean"
Our ancestors protected our Industries of
the ocean by discriminating duties in favor
of American built vessels. Their descend
ants. by treaties with foreign countries,
repealed the discriminating duty law, so
we have free trade in our industries of the
ocean to-day. Foreign vessels now do 9S
per cent OF our carrying trade, for which
we pay them $500, O00000 a year in geld.
which gives us a panic every twenty years.
Can an American sing columbia. the
Gem of the Ocean" to-day and not feel
lump In his throat? We have given away
Our birthrisht, supremacy of our industries
Of the ocean. Our industries Oh the land
are protected from cheap labor products
OF foreign countries. and some OF our man
Ufacturers own big fleets of foreign YES
sells, with foreign register, built and main
tanned by cheap foreign labor, against
which their countrymen engaged in ship
building cannot compete without protection.

BRITISH L1BOR EyCHAyGrg

The government labor exchanges which
were opened in Great Britain a few
weeks ago do not seem altogether 10
have indicated their creation and their
existence. They have, il is true. registered
10000 unemployed persons, and have
now more than 10000 enrolled. while
there are 32.J00 vacancies 10 be filled
and nearly 10000 men have secured en-
ployment. This record fails 10 indicate.
however, anything like successful deal
ing with the problem of unemployment.
The complaint is made that the cX-
changes content themselves with regis
tering men who are out of work and do
little or nothing toward securing work
for them. To have his name written i'm a
book il not a great boon 10 a man who
is out work. 1t is also said that employ
ers are using the exchanges 10 get men
ar reduced wages, and that they are
dropping well paid trade union members
and filling their places with III paid non
unionisiS
Ii may be that these complaints are
well founded. though it would seem To he
rather soon 10 make them. \ new sys-
TEN. particularly when failure 90 enact
budget leaves il short of necessary
funds, can scarcely be- expected 10 work

application. What il most 10 the point
Is the conceded circumstance that 4 svS-
TEN which is Ia cost the government
SL0O0.O00 year is regarded by its an
thors and champions ~ nothing more
than n modest attempt to deal with the
first stage of the problem Of unemploy-
''ment. That provokes the natural in
qulry how much il viii cost 10 solve the
problem.
In addition 10 the Si.O00.OO0 wear
for labor exchanges. the government pro-
poses L. spend SJ,625,OU0 a year on insur-
ance against unemployment, $4,000 600
a wear for insurance against sickness
and death and a total of $SOOO0OOO a
year on social reforms. Such expenditures
ought surely To produce important re
suits, though there will be many who will
doubt the wisdom Of 50 costly paternal-
ism and who will think that il would be-
better 10 try the establishment of a lis
cal system which would promote employ
ment and sclf-reliant thrift 10 a greater
degree than now seems possible.

grceS may be allowed Ia vote in federal
elections only. But the so-c;llled fed
eral" elections are really state elections.
and the discrimination would only
amount To barring The negroes out of
some state elections ana allowing them
10 participate i'm Others. Moreover the
Fifteenth Amendment 10 the ConStitu-
ti0n of the United States said nothing
about distinctions between state, munic-
ipal and federal elections when il
provided that 1.-THE right of the citizens

ca which state may restrict it's suf-
rage, nut race, color and previous condi-
ton of Seryitude are not among the tests
which are consiitutionally available.
The promoters Of the new amendment
gre at least frank. They say that Mary
land is not bound by the provisions II
the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amend
ments 10 the federal Constitution, and
that they intend 10 assert the states
right 10 nulify Observation-Disclosures. Such
AN issue cannot fail 10 create some eN-
element i'm the federal courts. We don't
believe that the new Acknowledgement
scheme will strike. the federal bench as
a marvel OF legal ingenuity and consti-
tutional cunning. The Democratic lead

M Would R0USE THE STATE.

/ M WOULD ROUSE THE STiTE
The news that Governor Hughes is
! likely TO take the stump IA favor of
/ direct primaries legislation and Of "A
general investigation into legislative
corruption must nil the opposition with
/ alarm. IL the Governor goes 10 the
people again he will receive Il greater
response even than lac did i'm his anti
gambling campaign. There is a deep
feeling Of Indignation among the voters
of the state ~ the Ipactionary oppoSi-
ton 10 the Governor. and il needs only
few speeches from him to make il the
liveliest of political manifestations. q,
ON these Two topics-the need of di-
rect nominations and the nee.' of a thor
ough investigation-the mind OF the
public is made up. Toward the forma-
ton Of opinion faVorable 10 direct nom
nations every recent political event has
powerfully contributed. The revelation
Of the disregard for public opinion on
the part of political managers in the
election of Aids and the organization
of the Senate against the prevailing sen
timent of the party and i'm tho opposition
90 progressive legislation has shown con
clusively the necessity of ending the
present self-perpetuating methods OF
party organizations. And the legislative
scandals have brought home 10 the peo-
pie with equal force the need Of max
ing elected officers a. well as party
managers responsive 10 public and party
opinion. Every day. moreover. is adding
new reason for a thorough inquiry
into the traffic i'm legislation.
The people need no persuasion. need
no argument from the Governor. He
