TWO REPORTS ASSA|L
SHIPPING MEASURE
Congressman Saunders and
Thacher Object to Bill, as Do
Republicans.

Two minority reports on the Admin
istration bill for a Government con-
trolled shipping line have been filed in
the House by members of the Merchant
Marine Committee. Congressman Saun-
ders and Thacher. Democrats. did not
sign the majority report, and Congress
man Greene and his Republican col
leagues oppose the plan as dangerous
from the international standpoint and
an expensive venture.
The Administration has not abandon
ed its plan for a Government-owned
merchant marine, according to a source
close to President Wilson today There
is a growing belief. however. in official
quarters that the President does not in
tend to insist very strongly on imme-
diately carrying out his original pro-
gram.
In the report filed by the two dis
senting Democrats il is said;
The arguments for this measure are
familiar, but they are arguments here
tofore advanced by Republicans, in and
out of the House, for subsidies. These
aEguments are that merchant marine.
though operated at a loss, would still
be desirable asset for the United
States. In other words, for the satisfac-
ton of owning ships and carrying car
goes on terms as favorable as those al
forded by foreign carriers this country
would be willing to finance a losing en-
terprise.''
The report filed by the Republicans
protests against the haste with which
the bill was reported from committee,
asserting that it goes further than a
mere emergency measure by opening up
the entire question of a merchant ma
rine policy.
The bill proposes a development Of
an American merchant marine" says
the minority report, by advancing all
absolute scheme of government owner
shir involving an expenditure of many
millions of dollars which cannot fail
to demand an increase of taxes On the
American people. now burdened by ac-
cumulating taxes. making II nee esSary
TO seek additional revenue.
THE mere buying of such vessels of
foreign construction as might be pur-
chased while the foreign war continues
would be but the first step in new

"Made in America"

Washington business men will unite in helping to
make that slogan famous For years the "Made in Ger
many inscription has been national advertisement for
the business of that nation. Other nations in lesser de-
gree have made their national trademark business asset
From now on Washington business men, in conjunction
with others all the country can help the idea the
"Made in America phrase will be commercial asset.
Though Washington is not an industrial CENTER the
Cspitas business assert that their response to the ma

prosperity here besides having obvious patriotic value
Now these men point out with the foreign factories badly
crippled by the war; is the time to make American products

an imported product will not only be good patriotism but
good business, Washington commercial dealers say

The great harems, with the excep-

In Turkey polygamy has been at a

the educated and cultured Turks OF
modern Turkish society the number
OF men who have several legitimate
wives at the same time have become
comparatively rare.

an odalisQue becomes a mother, she
is served and waited upon practical

The fact OF motherhood gives her al
most the same rank as wife. She en-

Whether the word 'ruinous Is JUS
