A MERCHANT MARINE

During the last campaign much was
heard. about ship subsidy for the pur.
pose OF building up an American
marine 10 take the place of our ships
that were swept from the high seas
during the civil war. Our American
registry laws forbid foreign built
ships from sailing under the American
flag. American seamen demand more
money in wage than the foreign sea-
men and thus it is that ii costs more
10 operate vessel under the American
flag than under foreign flags
The republicans favored a snip
subsidy which was violently assailed
by the democrats and the progressives
as a scheme for special privilege to
one line of business.
The advantage of an American
marine can be seen now when, with
goods piled mp at the sea shore, no
ships are available TO carry them
across the sea in, the foreign vessels
having been commandeered into gov
eminent servcie About twenty-four
American ships were all that piled the
high seas at tie beginning of this
European war So serious was the
condition that congress hastily passed
an amendment to the registry law
allowing foreign built ship to take out
American registry in hopes OF enticing
some Of the ships available to enter the
across the ocean trade.
Had moderate ship subsidy bill
passed four years ago it would have
gone long way towards filling mp the
gap now open The trouble with Am
erican politics just now is that there
are 10 many politicians and too few
statesmen doing business with the
people. We are building for today
with little thought OF tomorrow and
when tomorrow comes we pay the
price of our folly hundreds OF folds
