subsidize. any private interests it would be far better for the govern ment to buy s5o,ooo,oOo worth of ships and operate them in the interest of our commerce in time or peace and have them effective naval auxiliaries in time of war;
 Secretary McAdoo's 1na1 appeal in the concluding paragraph Of his let ter to the South to work for the pass age of the ship purchase bill was in the following words: l, '. "If you want South American trade, if you want world trade, the indispen- sable step is an American merchant marine to carry our commerce to the ends of the earth under the protection of Stars and Stripes. We shall never be able to carry our commerce to the ends of the earth under any foreign flag.
 '.Let the South awake to her oppor- tunity. Let her and the rest of the country demand that the commerce of our country and the safety Of our country be quickly assured by crea- ton of an American merchant marine, backed by a government administered in the interests of all the people and against all interests of the subsidists, the mossbacks and the obstructionists.
 This is a time for action. Already we have had too much talk. To prove the latter assertion I have only to refer you to the speeches of the repub- lican filibusters in the last session of tl1e United States senate.''

The McAdoo letter is regarded here as all the more significant be- cause of the fact that he has just con- eerred with Preside Wilson on this . subject. '-
 'The administration at Washing 1on,' wrote MT. McAduu 60 the ban- quet, "foreseeing the serious injury that the cotton producers of our country would suffer because of the lack of American ships and the extor- donate rates for freight charged by foreign ship owners since the Euro bean war broke out, submitted to the lost sessicn of congress oill for the

Fine Chance Lost.

E1ne Clance LOSG. ....
 After referring to the failure of the ship purchases bill ill the last con- gress MT. McAdoo said: E ..,...~ ;.
 Had this bill been promptly passed there is no doubt that very consider able number of ships could have been bought at that time; that others could have been chartered, and the company would have been ready by this time to begin rendering a substantial service to American commerce.
 '@Orders for other ships could have been placed in sur ship yards and a large number of ships would already have been under construction. But if ships could not have been bought promptly the company had the au- thority to lease ships, as before stated, and, undoubtedly, a very considerable fleet of vessels could have been as- scmbled by this time to carry our cot ten and other American products upon the high seas at reasonable rates of freight and with corresponding bene fit to all of the American people.
 The rapacity of foreign steamship owners would have been checked. The competition by the government owned corporation would have com- pelled them to carry cargoes at reas- onable rates and an immense amount Of money would have been saved to the American manufacturers who ship their goods to foreign 1narKers.
 There was no more important bill for the best interests of, the South and the Southern people than this ship ping bill. It was filibustered to death in the last senate of the United States Ey the republican party, aided, I re- gret to say by some dem ocrat1c sena- tors. several of whom are from the south.
 "It is time not only for the Southern people but for the American people tc look this momentous sh1pp.ng prob lem square1y in the face. These are times when conditions are extraordi- nary and we must resort to extraordi- nary measures if neccssi.y to meet them.
 Some Too Ti,nid to Act.
 "Why should the American people allow their interests to suffer merely because some are too 11mid to act or too unintelligent to act Or afraid to utilize the great powers and resources of our government to rescue Us from 6 situation where private capital re- fuses to act? The paramount duty of the hour is to protecs American rights and American interests through the strong arm of our government, which is the only reliable agency upon which the people may depend to solve national problems of such magnitude as those which nov confront us
 We must protect American rights and American interests with frnness, with justice, with courage and with enterprise. > We cannot longer be de-

pendent upon foreign flags. It is not safe to do so. We need American ships not only for the expansion of l our commerce but we imperatively re- l quire them as auxiliaries Tor our navy, l Our navy is sorely handicapped to- ] day because there are not enough i American ships of suitable tonnage 1 and character to form an effective 1 naval auxiliary in time of war. A i modern navy without adequate and ] helpless for acensive operations at 1 any considerable distance from it's ] home base. 1 We would be justified today in l spending s5O,O0O,0O0 tc $6O,OOO,000 for 1 the creation of an adequate fleet of naval auxiliaries. ' These auxiliaries 1 could be used in time of peace for the i training and education of the Ameri- 1 can seamen, upon whose courage and Nalor and knowledge We should have to depend in the event of war, while in ] time of peace they could be used in the fruitful pursuit of trading with en- during benefit to the commerce. the industry and the prospedity of our country.
 Tt is simply fatuous to hope that private capital will provide these ! snipe. Private ca apital will not pro- vide them, even if the navigation laws, about which there is so much ire sponsble talk, should be changed as private capital demands. I have never found even two capitalists who agree as to what changes should be made in our navigation laws. i have yet to find any man who, although arguing that the only thing neeced to create an American merchant marine is to cur navigation laws, has been able to
 tell how the navigation laws should be
 changed to guarantee the enlistment
 Of private capital.
 "Our capitalists are not interested
 in the shipping busin ess-not because
 they cannot make money in the ship ping business, but because they can
 1.1ake more money in other directions.
 Moreover, they are not familiar with shipping enterprises anu will not en-
 gage in them on any large scale, no
 matter what inducements may be held
 out. ....~
 we cannot afford to enter upon the
 se andalous policy of substituting pri- N:tte corporations or Individuals. To
 subsidize is merely to make gifts from
 the treasury of the United States to
 those of the strong pull and the long
 pull, and to repeat ali the scandals
 and corruption which formerly char
 acterizes the enactment of our tariff
 laws. ~. <' .-.~~.~.-.. -,
