BRYAN URGES SHIP
AND TREATY BILLS
Secretary, in Talk to Chamber Of
Commerce, Pleads for Colon
bian Pact Measure.
NO RELIANCE ON FOREIGN BOATS

WASHINGTON. Feb. s.-secretary
merce Of the United States here with a
plea for support for the administration
ship bill and ratification OF the Colon
bian treaty.
The present war has shown US the dis
advantages to which we are subjected
when we rely on foreign ships to carry
our merchandise" he said.
The interruption of trade incident to
any great war throws q heavy burden on
the neutral nations. Steps have been
taken TO increase largely our merchant
marine, and the shipping bill is a still
more important step toward Importance
on the seas. Ships under government
control will serve a double purpose, one
permanent in It's nature and the other
important in an emergency. such as now
exists.
THE permanent advantage of govern
ment ships lie TO be found in the fact
that they can establish new trade routes,
acting as pioneers and going where
private ships would be afraid to venture.
It takes time to establish new routes and
those who lay out such routes are liable
to incur a temporary financial loss. As
soon as there IL sufficient trade to make
the routes profitable It will be easy to
find ships, but in the open competition
Of the seas. the pioneer ship has no as
surance that 1t can reimburse itself for
the money spent in the development OF
new trade. A government ship can do in
this respect what private ship would
not do.
Freight Rates Abnormal.
I'm addition to our permanent needs
we have urgent temporary demands to
consider. There are numerous reasons
why the government should be prepared
TO meet such an emergency as that which
now confronts US.
our traffic is interrupted and avail
able ships are so scarce that freight
rates have risen enormously. Govern
ment competition would tend to prevent
the injustice from which our commerce
is now suffering.
THE government, acting for all the
people, has already responded to recog-
nized needs in establishing the branch
banks and in the provision made for
merchant marine. 1t is now attempting
to render further service through govern
ment owned ships, but there is another
avenue for governmental activity.
Boosts Colombia Treaty.
While friendship cannot make up for
economic disadvantages or for lack Of
banking or transportation facilities, still
friendship is a factor that cannot be
overlooked. The various departments
connected with the foreign trade are in
full sympathy with the president in his
efforts to cultivate the good will Of our
American neighbors. These efforts have
been manifested in many ways and In
connection with our dealings with NUM-
Der of countries, but 1 venture to call
special attention to one matter in which
the members OF this body will, am sure.

Kansas City district
Mr.. Brogan was accorded attention dur
ing his argument. Mr.. Warburg of the
board being especially interested in some
OF the statements made by Mr. Good
rich OF counsel for Kansas City.
Three National Zones,
Mr. Brogan said there were three ma
tional zones OF trade routes. tho first
being westward through Minneapolis. the
second through Omaha and the third
through Kansas City. He stated that the
flow of trade for the entire territory
west Of the Mississippi and east of the
Rockies. all the way from Texas TO the
Canadian border. was from west to east
and vice versa, rather than from north
TO south and vice versa.
MIR. Goodrich suggested the possibility
OF trade moving from north to south. via
the gulf and Panama canal. which Mr..
Brogan characterized as dreams since the
scheme did not indicate for whom these
agricultural and live stock products were
Intended as the movement through the
canal contemplated many points OF ship
ment
Probably the strongest point Mr.. Bro
gan made was his quotation from the re-
port OF the organization committee
wherein II stated. the great preponder-
ance Of trade in district No. 10 IL 20 the
east" Then he emphasized that out Of
gis member banks In Nebraska, aS and
out of thirty member banks In Wyoming
twenty-eight have asked to he transferred
4 to Chicago. and surely they ought t.
know what Is good for them
Powers of BOARD.
Mr.. Broaan spoke of the powers OF thu
board and insisted that It should not b
bound by the action OF the organization
committee. Mr. Goodrich told about thu
business the southern counties in Ne
braska has with Kansas City. insisting
that ST. Joseph and Kansas City got NOR
than 50 per cent OF the live stock owe
Omaha. and then with large chest ex
pansion said: "slxty-five per cent o
the rediscounts OF the Kansas City bani
comts from Nebraska"
Mr.. warburg. with a subtle smile an'
probably with memories OF kansas City,
present standing in the sisterhood Of re
serve districts. asked Mr. Goodrich wha
the total loans and discounts OF the Kan
sas City reserve bank wete. and Will
much reluctance Mr., Goodrich said ''abou

much weight could be given to the loal
and discount figures which seemed L
