Orthodox Subsidy and
Heferodox Subsidy
tFrom the New York SUM-

couragement of a shipping industry
under private auspices because it is
determined to subsidize shippers un-
der government auspices.
A vast deal Of nonsense has in one
way or another been ventilated in
reference not only to ship subsidy,
but other subsidies OF trade and in
dustry. It is not pretended in the
case of the shipping industry that
the government can engage in 1t
proftably. On the contrary, it is con-
fidently expected, even by the advo-
Gates Of a government merchant ma
rine, that the enterprise will be con-
Quoted at a great loss. What the
question of subsidy comes down to
then is simly that the administra-
ton party is opposed to subsidy which
will reach ship owners, while it is
heartily in favor OF subsidy which
will reach shippers.
The same line OF cleavage on the
subsidy issue runs through the whole
history of Republican and Democratic
controversy. Democratic tariff policy
has always contemplated subsidy to
importers. Republican protective tariff
policy has favored subsidy to export
ers. There has been a confusion Of
policies in relation to the railroads,
but both parties have in recent years
favored subsidies to manufacturers
and merchants at the expense Of the
carriers by an excessive government
regulation Of passenger and freight
rates downward.
In discussing the subsidy issue it is
fQeffa bIQ haVn a. defined When
the Democratic party represents it.
self as an enemy Of ship subsidy it is
to be understood only that it is hos
tile to subsidy for the shipping in
dustry. It's obvious intention is to
place itself on record as entirely
friendly to subsidy for shippers.

MIR. WILSON STILL OPPOSES
PRIVATELY OWNED MERCHANT
MARINE.

MAXINE
From the New York Sun.
According Il tbe Washington des-
patches, Pres dens Wilson expeets TO
force the ship purchase hill through
the House AMI S, rate in the FIRST
session Of The sixty fourth Congress.
II, order to accomplish this the bill is
to be modified in some Of its pro-
visions, and The rules Of the Senate
are to be amenfed. in order tLat de-
bate may be chuked off when the
measure reaches that body.
Until the new proposals incorporat-
ed in the bni are revealed II would
be idle to discuss its terms. but an
other report from the capital iustities
tie belief thar tho remodeled Plea
will be no os.tec than its predecessor.
II records the purpose OF the .1mln-
istration to refuse any amendment 10
the La Toilette seamen's act, when
has already driven our nag from the
Pacific and threatens still further 70
reduce our mercantile marine esta0-
liNiultnA
From this it is apparent that Presi,
dent Wilson intends that no relief
shall be given to the base commerci2l'
lists who would build and operate
American ships for the sordi1 pur-
pose of earning profss if the govern
ment would permit it. The alTeina'
tive TO be offered to the public is GOV
eminent owned vessels. whose deficits
the taxpayers will make good whose
sailings will be dictated by the NEEDS
of powerful politicians. and whose
management generally will be subor'
dinated to the exigencies OF partisan
purposes. , A.,
Mr.. Wilson sufficiently displays the
general tenor OF his revised ship pur'
chase bill in his decision TO make the
commercial operation OF American
ships financially impossible.
Evening journal., 1915-12-10

Word comes from Washington to
the International Trade Conference.
in the heroic language Of an admin
istration spokesman, that as long as
Woodrow Wilson and the Democratic
party are in power subsidies are to
have no quarter" The reference is
OF course to the question OF subsidy
for the establishment of an American
merchant marine under private own
ership for service in commerce among
the nations.
This is very fine, but it would be
just as well to have hypocrisy about
subsidy cleared away. The director
OF the mint who conveyed the fore
going message to the International
Trade Conference, merely uttered a
political slogan which, from much po-
litical abuse, has come to lose its
significance in conveying an implica-
tion wholly false.
There has never been a political
party in power at Washington which
has been more in favor of subsidies
of every kind than the Democratic
party now and always. The princi-
pal difference about subsidies be-
tween the Democratic party and the
Republican party has been in relation
to the purpose Of the subsidy and the
identity of its recipients.
All the efforts of the administration
are apparently bent on the projec-
tion Of the government into an out
right engagement in the shipping
industry in competition with such
private ship lines as there are in this
country and in unquestioned compe-
tition with the vast merchant ma
rines of other countries. privately
owned and many of them government
subsidized. The party in power at
Washington seems to have set it's face

Equipment of Panama Canal

John Liston, Of the General Electric
Company, will deliver lecture Fri
day evening before the Engineers So
ciety of Pennsylvania on 1.-The Pans-
ma Canal and Its Electrical Equip
ment.' The lecturer will tell of the
uses of electricity in the construction
of this great engineering project and
by motion pictures will show the actual
operation of electrically driven ma
chinery used by the government in con-
structing the canal. The pictures were
taken at the site and are intensely in
teresting as they show the real condi-
tions under which the work was done.
Mr.. Liston will also describe the per-
manent electrical equipment for the
operation of the canal and will illus
trate this part of his lecture with
stereoptfeon slides.
This is the last lecture of the sea-

lures on engineering topics and topics
of a general nature but allied to the
engineering profession.
Members of the society, State of
fcials, public service men and others
interested in this branch of engineer
ing, are invited to attend the lecture,
