THE SHIPPING BILL.

In the face OF the paralysis of
american commerce. President Will
son and n majority OF the Democratic
party in Congress. advocate the pur-
ichase by the government OF = large
number of merchant ships. The Pres
sident speciously describes govern
iment purchase as a pioneering enter
prise. Once the government has
started stream OF commerce with
South America. private capital. he
predicts. will follow and the govern
ment will withdraw. This statement
measures the business capacity OF
the doctrinaries who have been legis-
lating for the great manufacturing
and commercial interests OF the
American people. We have no Amer
lean merchant marine. because we
have not been permitted to create
conditions hat will make American
shipping profitable. Foreign owned
ships have been built and can be built
for less money. and have been oper-
ated and can be operated ut less cost.
and are freer from vexatious restric-
lions than American ships. Moreover.
they have constantly enjoyed the
liberal support OF their own govern
ment In the form OF special grants
and mail subsidies. Against compe-
tition so organized. the American
shipping interests cannot stand.
Today there are no German ships
upon the ocean. simply because they
have been interned to escape capture.
British shipping Is over.taxed. The
minute that the war ceases. the Ger
man ships retained in a dozen ports
will come out and again re-enter
trade. British and French commerce
will become more active. and the
conditions destroying American mer-
camille shipping before will again
operate.
It is a silly delusion to talk about
inducing American capitalists to in
vest in shipping lines under such
conditions. Practically by the time
they are ready to accomplish any
thing they will again be subjected to
destructive competition Wilson
and his party in Congress deliberate
ly destroyed one OF the most import
ant advantages to American shipping
Interests by repeating the free toll
provision Of the Panama Canal act
