No today without its morrow,

Why the Ship Subsidy
Hs Undesirable.

Afker practically driving the Ameri-
can nag from the across-ocean ships
and almost destroying our merchant
marine In the mad desire to benent
American shipbuilders. the Republican
marty believes that 1t can partially
remedy this by providing subsidies.
Many able arguments have been de-
liversd to prevent the passage OF the
ship subsidy bill, one Of which was
that Of Senator Shively Of Indiana.
In closing his arguments he said:
The worst features of the code bark
back to the fourteenth century, under
Richard II Of England. They were
iuDorted and engrafted on our policy
at IN early day-the bitter fruits OF
sordid coalition. Since then molasses
ana rum have lost their significance.
The slave trade has gone. Slavery It
self has passed away. Swift advance.
,nent has been made In tho physical
eciences. Everywhere mankind are
Harvesting the forces Of nature into
their service. Steam and electricity
are excluding time and space from
human calculations and bringing wide
" separated peoples face to face. Vast
common interests are making for
peace, order and progress. Feudal
systems are yielding to the needs OF
modern society. Old codes are being
adjusted to new conditions. Change
and Improvement mark all other de-
partments Of human activity. Through
all and in spite of all. the barbarisms
Of our navigation laws remain-mem-
orials to stone-blind avarice and stupid
folly-the deadly blight on our mer-
chant marine.
= The ship subsidy II wrong In every
particular. France lost her shipping
while subsidies were being paid and
boats rotted in her harbors. while
many sailed without cargoes for the
subsidy alone. England's great COM
merce was built without a subsidy.
Americans Wishing to invest N
ocean going vessels to engage In the
trade from ono continent to another
IND it profitable to invest In foreign
built boats and have them fly foreign
fiags, for unless q boat is constructed
IN America It cannot fly the American
nag. This country stands alone in this
position and It - gradually and sure.,

cannot supply ships in competitio

the business. But they can and 4
compete with other countries whel

There are many reasons offered t
illustrate how ship subsidy bill will

proof and the one reason can +
traced to the desire to enrich tn
American shipbuilders by paying sub
sides to owners using these American
built vessels.
