PRESIDENTS PROJECT.

Advocacy of shipping Bill Takes
Congregational Breath Away.
Statesmen and others are engaging in a
lively hunt to find reasons why the Alex
ander ship-purchase bill should pass. An
other chase is being directed to discover
senators and Representatives who expect
to vote for the bill for any other reason
than that President Wilson wants them
to do 50. In a word, the President alone
stands sponsor for this measure-which
Senator Stone has introduced also in the
Senate-and so far has offered only the
bTOadest generaliZations In advocacy OF
il. He has assumed that because OF the
European war not enough ships are avail
able to carry on the foreign commerce OF
the United States and, apparently without
consultation, in the open. with any one.
he has laid down the rule that the only
feasible method Of providing ships is Tor
the government TO buy and operate them.
In his recent address to Congress the
President said: To speak plainly. We
have grossly erred in the way in which
We have stunted and hindered the devei-
opment OF our merchant marine. And
now. when We need ships we have not
got them" This can be construed only
a $ a denunciatiOn Of the historic refusal
OF the Democratic party. with the more
or less active assistance of many Repub-
IiCans from the interior States, to vote
subsidies to American shipping. The Re
publican member OF Congress who once
voted squarely against a naval appropria
ton bill on the ground that mot 3 per
cent OF the people in my district ever
saw the sea represents the dOg-in-the
manEer idea which would refuse shipping
to the seIboard States because boats do
not sail on dry land.
Entirely New Experiment.
The famine in ships for the foreign
trade which now exists is. OF course, a
direct result OF the failure Of Congress
to give American shipping a chance to
live as against the subsidized craft OF all
the rest Of the civilized mercantile world.
The President admits the mistake, but
suggests no reversal of the policy where

The buoyant tone manifested by transactions in
practically all the securities dealt in the reopening
of the New York Stock Exchange yesterday had been
forecasted for several days in the clearing house
though perhaps-the advances went a little ahead Of

THE OPEN FORUM.
Correspondent Protests Against Ex-
trayagance CHARGES.

Editor OF The Washington Herald: Ex-
treme views with reference to govern
mental expenditures are being pressed
with such persistence as to challenge
comment. Five years ago, in the fiscal
year ending June 90, 1903. there was ex-
pended for the postal0 service from funds
received from postal revenues, S03 5S2. .3sI.
For the fiscal year ending June 90. 1914.
this item had increased $50. 900, being
SIS. so. .1O2. In the current fiscal year the
postal expenditures are estimated at
1902 5000. and the postal revenues at
800, 3d. 900. being S10o.oOO. 900 increase over
the year 1903.
In charging extravaganza in appropria-
ions and In expenditures total figures
embracing these postal expenditures Of
Ss0,OOO.O0o and even 800. 900, 600 are used
without mentioning the fact that this
additional expenditure is met by the pos
tai service itself, and that the new postal
facilities require the expenditure.
In 1913 the ordinary disbursements
mot including the $2O3, So, ,3s3 received
from postal revenues) were S662 324, ~
In 1914 these same disbursements had
risen to S0O.254, 4s9. an increase OF
S3s0Oo.ooo. The increase in appropriations
for the navy in 1914 over 1893 was ga
10000. and for the army was 81. 500 OOO
omitting these items for public defense.
the increase in total ordinary expendi-
lures in 1914 over 1893 was less than
5000 900. And yet these figures are made
the basis of allegations Of great extrava-
gance. S. A. A.
