Submarines are useful in guarding

They are essentially defensive weapons.
But sometimes the best defenses is a

Before the United States builds a
fleet of commercial vessels it should
make sure that such vessels would be

Senator Borah, in his speech in the
Senate yesterday accepted Presi-
dent Wilson's recent indianapolis
apo.igia as "a challenge to Republi-
cans. AS such he took il up with frank
defiance. He added the reproach that
the attack of the President upon Re
publican ideas and capabilities was
an unseemly display Of partisanship
coming from the Chief Magistrate OF
all the people.
Probably this view will not make
much impression upon Mr.. Wilson's
convinced admirers. but it is a strong
appeal TO neutrals as well as 20 that

disappear or ind other channels
while we debate the items"
The President has evidently been
misinsormed as to the bottoms avail
able ful' the transport of. American
goods. IN war times freights are al
ways unusually high. and despite the
five million tons of belligerent ship
ping now idle, the high rates of which
shippers complain have attracted
many small craft to American waters
which are anxious but unable to OBJ
tain charters.
The Boston Maritime Association
reports that there are tied up in Bos-
ton. four steel steamships for which
cargoes cannot be found. and the as
sociatiOn has a list of 100000 tons OF
shipping available at rates high
enough to warrant a round trip. Il
is reported that a French line is send
ing eighteen small boats to American
harhOrs for grain cargoes because
these boats cannot operate on their
usual routes abroad. A great number
of Scandinavian tramps have been at
tracted to our neutral ports, and ship
pers experience little difficult in OBJ
tanning ships at prevailing rates.
Obviously the Government could not
profitably cut the prevailing freight
rates. II would be forced to COM
pete with private shipowners on an
equal footing or literally throw into
the sea the money of the taxpayers. If
President Wilson desires to establish
a permanent American merchant ma
rine to compete with the ships of other
nations, let him urge the repeal of
those laws, which in his message he
admits have driven our flag from the
seas.
It should be written, as the first
axiom of economies that no business
will thrive unless il be profitable. Il
matters not whether that business be
conducted by the Government or by
private individuals, unless it be pro-
titaole il will die. If the pernicious
labor laws with regard to American
ships are repealed and that business
freed from Government restrictions
aided instead of oppressed. the Amer
ican flag will again be restored TO the
seas. Other eXpedients are useless.
other reasons are not wanting tc
argue against the Presidents prOpO-
sition. and among them. as We have
said before, is that Out-and-Out Social
ism has no place in our national life
Evening journal., 1915-01-15

Judged by the standards OF sound
business the proposed Government
owned line of merchant ships is fore
doomed to failure There is no press
ing demand for ships to carry Ameri-
can cargoes to justify the ENTRY of the
United States Government into the
marine carrying trade, as President
Wilson urges inrhis recent message to
Congress. A sincere policy of economy
in national affairs would dictate eau
ton in investing the money of the
people in an enterprise which is so
very uncertain in its results that pri-
yate capital, proverbial in its wise
timidity, hesitates to enter it, under
present laws. And If the bill now
pending in the Senate is passed and a
line of Goyernment-owned ships es-
tablished. it is certain. in the light of
past experience, that they Will only
add unnecessarily to the increasing
cost of Government with no adequate
compensation to the taxpayers for
the expenditure.
After reviewing the trade condi-
tions occasioned by the war. Presi-
dent Wilson. in urging the passage OF
the shipping bill, premises his de-
mands upon the assumption that
there is a dearth of bottoms available
for the transportation of American
products to foreign lands, and that
this dearth must Immediately be re-
moved if the United States is not TO
be Outstripped in the race for foreign
trade. He said
How are We TO carry our goods TO

(F'rom the New York Evening POst)
With reference to the shipping bill
we feel bound to say that, both in
tone and substance. the Presidents
remarks were utterly unbeftting the
issue with which he was dealing. 1t
may be that if the shipping bill ques
tion could be submitted 10 the de-
cision of the American people, they
would show themselves to be in favor
of it: but to speak of the men who
in the Senate are opposing the pass
age of this bill as a minority which
dares "to defy the nation" is to speak
without the warrant of knowledge and
TO attempt to exercise a kind Of press
ure which those gentlemen would be
thoroughly justified in resenting. As
for the situation which Mr.. Wilson
alleges to exist. and to justify the
rushing through of the bill as an en-
ergency measure. what could be more
fantastic than his description of il on
the very day when the price of wheat
at Chicago was passing the S1.4O

Ills First Essay In business.

CFrom The New York SUM-
In his speech at Indianapolis OF
friday President Wilson said:
! want TO ask the business men
here present If this is not the first
January in their recollection that
did not bring a money stringency
for the time being because of the
necessity of paying out great
sums of money by way of divi-
dends and tho other settlements
which come at the first Of the
year.
Does the President recollect
any January in many years when
there was so little need of money
TO pay dividends because there
were so few and such scant divi-
dends to pay?
The President reiterates in
plain speech what he once turn
ed into neat epigram:
There is nothing the matter
with American business except a
state of mind.
Psychology, of course. 1t is
the Presidents contribution to
the relief of the situation.
BY the way, in the next breath
he added:
Il was never in business"
He is manifestly in business
now and means business in 1916.

would be much wiser to put up a bridge than to

Practically everyone admits that the present bridge
is old and inadequate Some persons assert that
It is unsafe. Engineering opinion is that something

Side The question itself down not to whether
something shall be done but to what shall be done
The Levy Court is called upon to decide whether
the old bridge shall be patched up to be down in
a few years to come, the many thousands Of dol

to indicate that the public desires new bridge.
