OF nation equalling that which
ours promises to be within a very
few years. 1t is worth noting that
while Just now the disposition TO
challenge many Of our traditional
policies and to question the wisdom
OF the fathers of the republic pre-
walls III some sections of the coun-
try, as yet no one has disputed the
advantages Of the law which from
the beginning OF the government
has reserved our coasting trade to
our own vessels.
The official date for opening the
Panama Canal has been fixed at
January /, 1915, only little more
than three years distant. 1t is diff
fcult to see how the formulation
of a definite maritime policy for the
United States can be postponed
long after that date. The conse-
quences of the war with Spain
made it highly desirable for the
Congress TO shape anew the mari
time policy Of the United States,
but thirteen years have passed
without action. The completion of
the canal will compel the formula
ton of a policy. A merchant ma
rine under our own flag is an i'm
portant factor in the development
OF our foreign trade. IT is indis-
pensable for the utilization OF the
Panama Canal in domestic trade,
and the ship builders and ship own
ers Of the United States cannot too
soon begin to prepare the transpor-
tation facilities which will be de-
manded by the cast and west coasts
if the canal is to serve its CONNER
cial purposes. SO far as our home
commerce is concerned, the canal
will be valuable in establishing Il
competitive route with the trans
continental railroads. Unless Amer
lean built ships are available for
this purpose it requires no particu-
lar gift OF prophecy to foretell that
d strong sentiment i'll favor of ad-
mlttlng foreign built ships to this
trade will arise. 1t seems reason
ably certain that at the coming ses-
sion Of Congress law will be
passed admitting foreign built
steamers TO American registry eX-
clusively for the purpose of engag-
ing in trade with foreign countries.
While such a measure involves a
radical departure from historical
policy, both its advantages and dis
advantages have been exaggerated.
1t cannot materially affect Ameri-
can shipbuilding, for some years
have elapsed since ocean steamers
have been built i'll the United States
for the foreign trade, except from
time to time under the stimulus Of
subsidy legislation already on the
statute books or anticipated. On
the other hand, such a measure will
not result i'll an increase of trans
oceanic steamers under the Ameri-
can flag because the relatively

Georgia would not have sufhced TO
carry a proposition for the estab-
lishment Of satisfactory American
ocean mail lines at least to South
America. If the canal shall prove
to be OF most immediate benefit to
those sections of the country and
to the Mississippi Valley, as is an
ticipated by many, support OF the
subsidy policy in those sections of
the country is reasonably sure TO
follow.
For Ocean Mail Subsidy.
The strength of the sentiment for
complete American ocean mail
service, which in spite OF repeated
defeats by narrow margins in the
House of Representatives has per-
sisted, is due to two causes. The
restoration Of the United States to
a creditablc position as naval
power was a necessary preliminary
to awaken the thought of the ma
ton to the value OF merchant ma
rine. With the possession at last
of navy which will compare cred
itably with that OF other great pow
ers attention has naturally turned
10 our commercial weakness and
dependence on the seas. This would
have been appreciated by thought
ful men under any conditions, but
it has been brought home to all by
our national expansion. Within a
few years-thc United States has ac-
quired territory more or less re-
mote from the mainland and has
brought under the American flag
d larger number Of distant people

under any flag except the British,
French or Dutch. I'm population
and trade importance the colonies
Of the German Empire, for exam
pie, may not be compared with
Porto Rico, Hawaii, the Philip
pines, Alaska and the Caual Zone.
\ glance at any globe made in the
last few years will show that for
political reasons the United States
has more need of a complete ocean
mail service, under lis own flag,
than any other nation except Great
Britain. The same glance will show
that geographically the United
States, with its Atlantic and Pacific
coasts, is better placed to use such
an ocean mail system of its own TO
push its foreign trade than are any
of the nations using ocean mail sys-
TENS for that purpose except the
British Empire.
The Panama Canal will give us
a coastline on the Atlantic and Pa
cifc practically unbroken for all
purposes OF navigation. Such a
coastline as the base of operation
for a mercantile marine no nation
in history has ever possessed, and
it is wellnigh impossible to CON

cal events which would admit else

The maritime powers OF the world
Tor many years have regarded ocean
mail steamships under their own
flags TO their oversee colonies, de-
Tendencies and dominions and to
foreign countries as a factor of ma
tional power essential to indepen-
dence and second only to their ma
vies. To secure such ocean mail
services these countries have drawn
freely upon their treasures. The
sole test of expenditure has been
the attainment of the result. Where
much was needed TO secure this re
suit much has been voted, and
where from natural advantages a
lesser expenditure would suffice ap-
preparations have been smaller.
Almost from the beginning Of
ocean steam navigation this policy
was adopted by Great Britain, and
soon after by France. As the nu-
merous principalities and kingdoms
of Europe were assembled into the
political entities now known as the
German Empire and the Kingdom
OF Italy the same policy was taken
up by them. while Spain and HOl-
land with limited resources have
been liberal in expenditures for
communication with their colonies.
Upon her entry into the first rank
Of maritime powers Japan adopted
this policy--indeed, to that policy
she owed in a great measure her
success in the war with Russia

years as a rule has been on par
tisan lines there is no reason in the
nature OF the question 10 require
such a division, and it is reasonably
sertain that it will not so continue
FOR any length of time. The open
ing of the Panama Canal few
years hence may be the occasion
for a change of sentiment in the

fcient to establish the policy firm

greater cost of operation leaves no
incentive for American capital now
invested in steamers under foreign
flags to transfer them to Our own
flag. Political and administrative
advantages, however, would be
enough to bring under the flag a
considerable number of smaller for
eign steamers owned by Americans
and now trading in the Gull OF
Mexico and the Caribbean Sea.
AS to Canal Tolls.
A decision upon the question OF
tolls for the use OF the Panama
Canal ought to be reached at the
coming long session of Congress.
In reaching a decision upon this
question we must turn first TO our
international obligations. The first
paragraph OF the third article OF the
Hay-Paunccfote treaty OF 1901 with
Great Britain and ireland commits
us to the following:
l. The canal shall be free and
open to the vessels OF commerce
and Of war of all nations observing
these rules, on terms OF entire
equality, so that there shall be no
discrimination against'any such ma
ton. or its citizens or subjects, in
respect Of the conditions or charges
of traffic, or otherwise. Such con
ditions and charges OF traffic shall
be Just and equitable.
The article quoted is identical
with an article in the Convention
of Constantinople. signed October
%. 1888, by the maritime powers
for the free navigation of the Sucz
Canal. The purpose of the article
in both instances was obviously TO
give the canal an international
character and international pecuni-
ary support, that support in both
instances TO be measured by the
actual Use of the canal by the sew
cral maritime powers. The Suez
Canal, OF course, was built by prl-
vatc capital; the Panama Canal is
being built out of the Treasury OF
the United States, and for this rea-
son we are amply justified in ad-
mlnistering it to promote Our own
welfare, within the bounds OF the
obligation quoted.
The article does not BY It's terms
and has not i'll the case of the Suez
Canal interfered with the right of a
nation to promote its shipping max
ing use OF the canal. Thus Tor
many years the Russian Govern
ment, the governments OF Austria
Hungary and Of Sweden have spe-
cifcally appropriated amounts to
pay the Suez Canal tolls on vessels
under their respective flags, and in
directly through their subsidies to
national mail lines using the canal

policy OF France, Germany, Hol-
land, Japan, Italy and Spain. The

1t is probable that political and
economic discussion for the next
year will revolve about the tariff,
but it will be unfortunate ii ii shall
obscure fair and thoughtful con-
sideration Of canal tolls. The el-
feet of these tolls on domestic in
dustry has been barely limited at.
To American shipbuilding II IS
vital. The subsidy question relates
to our foreign trade, and while that
policy here, as elsewhere, conslS-
tently applied, would develop the
mercantile marine, it must await its
answer until the very existence OF
American shipbuilding has been
made secure. The response OF
American shipbuilders and ship
owners to the demand for Ameri-
can steamers to carry American
goods through the canal must be
prompt and complete. Thus far
few preparations have been begun.

The significance OF the cost OF

questions does not always receive
the attention to which it IS en-

the cost of operating German ships
is even less. The difference i'll the
