The Presidents Lost Opportunity
By WINTHROP L MARVIN.

or compensation from the national
treasury.
President Wilson has defied all prec
edcnt and violated the most cherished
traditions of his party. Processing hat
red of subsidy, he has committed his
administration to the most wasteful
and extravagant subsidy that could be
conceived The presidents plan is so
essentially unsound so dangerous, that
many of his own party are In revolt
against it, and in both houses of con-
gress opposition is SO strong that
special session next spring or sum-
mer to be devoted exclusively to this
pronosal is already threatened from
the white house. But of what avail?
Precious time Is already wasted I'm
less the president abandons his pur-
pose nearly a whole year will have
been lost-and in a year a whole large
new feet could have been constructed.
Government ownership cannot add
The use of interned vessels of bellig-
ercnts would be even more hazardous
and trouble-provoking if they were
government owned than if private own
ed-and all existing neutral ships are
already available for commerce.
What the American government
could have done and should have done
last August, when the war broke out,
was to offer proper compensation to
ately contract for the construction OF
ocean going steamships built on de-
signs approved by the navy depart
ment as transports. Golfers and supply
ships, to be turned over to the govern
ment in time of war. Good freight
steamers can be completed in seven
months; some of these ships would
soon be ready for service. Many 9th
ers could be finished in nine months,
ten months, year. A great new feet
might have been ready to convey food
stuffs and cotton overseas before the
inevitable long debate on this most i'm
practicable and extravagant govern
ment ownership scheme can be con-
cluded.
President Wilson had great oppor-
tunity to serve his country's commerce
and to create naval reserve in the
quickest possible way at the least pos
his face is now stubbornly set in the
wrong direction.

No more does any voice among us
dare to plead that fin peace-for.
eign flags will freight our goods more
"cheaply" they should be allowed to
monopolize our ports and dominate our
waters--for many of these foreign
flags have left us in the lurch, and the
last foes of the cause of the American
ship are silenced. It is all the more de-
plorable, therefore, that, in the face OF
such an opportunity grave false step
has been taken by the administration
in Washington.
The bill urged by President Wilson
for the government ownership and op,
Grafton of merchant shipping has not
been asked for by American manufac-
turers ard merchants. It is deprecat-
ed and dreaded by them and openly op-
posed by the most representative COM
mercial associations Of the United
States. The immediate effect of the
Introduction of the measure has been
to discourage private capital and daunt
personal initiative, to hold up con-
tracts for new steamships and reduce
shipbuilding, and thus to lessen the
too meagre tonnage available for sea
borne commerce.
What industry, what business, wants
to have the United States treasury as
competitor. The president and Sec
rotary McAdoo acknowledge that they
do not expect to make any money; that
they are prepared to operate their
steamship services at loss, but that
when these services become establish
ed they will be disposed of to private
shipowners for whatever they will
bring! President Wilson and Secretary
McAdoo acknowledge also that the re-
suit Of free ships and partially revised
navigation laws since August last has
been inadequate and disappointing.
These government owned ships will
cost just as much more to maintain
against foreign ships as would private
owned American vessels. They will be
at as much of a disadvantage against
foreign subsidies and bounties. But
these government owned steamships, if
experience means anything. will not be
managed with as much economy and
enterprise as private owned business
and undertakings. Therefore, their in
evitable deficit at the end Of year or
two years or three years will be far
greater than would be the deficit of a
private owned American ocean fleet
ana will require a far greater subsidy

A MERCHANT MARINE,

While the ship purchase bill is a
dead letter for the time being, thanks
to the efforts of the republicans in the
United States senate, there is every
reason to believe that the administra-
ton will bring it up again at the next
session and undertake to pass 1T. For
this reason, an article on the merchant
marine problem by Winthrop l..
Marvin, is Of particular interest be-
cause it furnishes food for thought for
the time that elapses before the sub
ject is again live one. Mr.. Marvin
ia an authority on merchant marine
problems and is able to give an intel
iieent and critical opinion in the mat
ter. Read his article on this page to-
