Speech Of Senator John W. Weeks, Of

There is universal agreement that
some action should be taken which
will build up our merchant marine en-
gagged in foreign trade. We are paying
to steamship lines owned in other
countries about three hundred million
dollars annually for the purpose Of
Transporting our products to their
markets and bringing TO our shores
those articles which we need. This
has an important influence on the ell
cheney of our navy, and il adversely
affects our exporters by compelling
them to deliver their goods thrugh
the medium Of their competitors.
Moreover. we have recently had
brought to our attention, in q most
striking manner. the fact that if we
continue such a policy our foreign
trade may be paralyzed II. as result
Of foreign war, the ocean trade Is
not in the hands of those combatants
which control the seas. At this time,
il It were not for the supremacy of
the English and French navies, our
ability to deliver the greater part of
the products which we have sold to
Europe during the last year would
have been prevented.
The administration has advanced
new proposal which has been much
criticised. The government shipping
bill was originally and solely advo-
Gated because Of the emergency which
! developed at the outbreak of the Eu.
ropean war n however that were
the only reason for IT, there would be
no nece ssity for taking II up again
as is proposed, because. although oul
trade this year bids fair to be half {
billion dollars greater than ever be
fore there does not seem to be an.
serious complaint of insufficient ship
ping to carry it. But there are othe
reasons for not passing this legisla
ton which we're sufficient even II thi
emergency did exist. The most seri
Gus of these reasons, it seems to me
and one that should be sufficient 4

Editorial Opinion
THE BIG BUSINESS ERA.

From Leslie's Weekly.
Much of the legislation directed
against big business could never have
been enacted had the public fully real
ized the vast change which has occur
red during a generation In business
conditions. This change was clearly
outlined IN an address by the Hon.
Peter Grosscup Before the Cleveland
Bar Association. Judge Grosscup said
"The unit of industry has grown
from the single individual and his few
assistants into masses of men organ
izedLinto industrial companies, regi-
ments, corps employing machines, as
soldiers employ artillery or Maxim
guns. and with the same enlarged re.
sults-the product OF organization and
efficiency"
Referring to the matter OF cOmpe-
tition, the Judge expressed the opinion
that "shrewdness in organization, in
laying plans and generally in getting
business, is entitled to its triumph
over the less shrewd and the less
successful; for, apart from unfair
practices "the successful are the
strong and ht." large combinations,
he contended, have been formed not
simply to create monopolies, but TO
better systems of production and TO
improve and cheaper products, pur-
pose which all may see is economlcal'
ly sound and beneficial to the puDhc.
Judge GrOsscup criticized the courts
for not emphasizing disavowal oil
size as a test of unlawfulness, ana toI
falling back on power to in1ure IL
cases where bad intent or practices
could not be shown. He favored ths
eminently sensible English court prac
tice of'applying the practical test o.
whether the particular combination Il
helpful or hurtful to the public; ant
he cited the fact that German enter
lprises had astOnished the world be
cause the law In Germany was
creator and protector and not men
ace to enterprise. Old methods, IN
said. must yield to new facts.
In judging of large enterprises I
must be decided whether their act
have done real injury 20 the public ant
whether the intent and practices ar
such as the moral sense of mankin'
condemns. The true remedy for abuse
is "a surer hand on the men VIII
do actual wrong, a iuster system O
taking care of the human factors o
industry. and change in the pOpt
liar belief that big ways of doing bi
things cannot be the subject of popu
lar investment and ownership IN
labor men and farmers have had tn
laws so modified that fact not dogm
determines the liability of their orgaI
izaiions and Judge Closeup asked
lit was not time for the other sid
OF industry to follow this example
TO this there can he one answer an
that in the affirmative.

oppOSFD nv BUSINESS MEN.

From the Norfolk Nirginian-Pllot.
The truth is that the great bulk OF
the practical men of affairs IN every
section OF the country, regardless OF
the business OF industry with which
thev are connected, are opposed, so
far as their judgments in the matter
have found expression, TO any scheme
which looks TO government ownership
operation or control of bottoms en-
gagged in the merchant trade, not
merely because any such scheme
would operate TO complete the de-
struction of rather than TO rehaDili-
tate the American cross-seas mercan-
tile marine. but because it would IN
iure the general welfare by retarding
ldevelopment Of our foreign trade and
1.-THE industries that contribute TO It.
These are men Of business sense and
experience. and surely their collective
Judgment is worth more than the theo-
ries OF those who have no practical
knowledge of the shipping business
and of a few public officials who arc
seemingly disposed TO allow pride OF
opinion 10 carry them to the point OF

From Leslie's Weekly.
Awakening, After long period OF
living under a cloud Of adverse popu-
lar sentiment. business men are wax
ing up to the fact that they have the
people with them. Public opinion has
so changed that it is no longer im-
possible for great industry, when
attacked by trust busters and dema-
pogues. TO get fair hearing. This
/ is because OF the legitimate publicity
work which the big industries have
initiated. While they remained silent
under aspersion and misrepresenta-
I lion the people accepted the lies as
truth. AS soon as they began to make
an adequate defense the whole fabric
OF calumny and falsehood went down.
This proves that business men VIII
always secure considerate treatment
if they will but make "A spirited ana
united demand for their rights. we
note that this idea has struck home TO
the tobacco men of the country, who
have just formed a national organiza-
tion, called the Tobacco Merchants
Association, to protect the tobacco in
terests. Owing to a lack of solidarity
the trade has hitherto not properly
met unfair attacks made upon IL, II Is
asserted. and has been legislatet
against and taxed beyond reason. Th'
association proposes to see that th'
tobacco trade is given a square deal
In other lines of business organlza
tions are being perfected for self
protection against ill-considered an.
demagogue legislation. II is higl
time.
