When Secretary Of the Navy Of

the services OF IA inch gun like Rear
Admiral BRADLEY A. FIsKE there is
something radically wrong The trou-

1t is no secret that the rccommen-
dations Of Rear Admiral FIsKE in the
line of his duty have received scant
consideration from Secretary DAN

them have been strained since the
Admiral told the House Naval Com

cign fellow tradcsman Put him to
the test, The American boasts that
he is above being in domestic service,
that he is too good to clean streets;
and an American mechanic will starvc
before he will perform unskilled or
laboring work.
Now. to face this situation sGuarcly,
il an American ship owner can secure
the service of deCkhand at SIS n
month whose efficiency is equal to
that of an American deckhand whose
wages are $40 month. the American
owner tx compelled to compete under
an impossible handicap. so 1t Is only
fair to him to permit him to engage
his crews at the same rate as paid
by foreign owners.
This means that the American sea
faring man is too good for the un-
skilled positions now offering aboard
ships. 80 let us eliminate him unless
he will put himself on an equal basis
with seamen of other nations.
The cost of constructing and equip
ping an American vessel Is approxi-
mately one-third more than for a
similar vessel of foreign build. prn-

in our self-contained floating world,
this affects every item.
The American can stand the extra
first cost, because he gets n more
substantial. elaborate and better jon

he wants. whereas. quite on the con-
trary, in foreign countries the owner
gets what the builders give him
