America, the report states that since

can be sold in Chile and Peru at lower

If this proves to be true, the report
states. the vessels can return to the
United States loaded with nitrates from
Chile, copper from American-owned
mines in Bolivia and iron ore from
American mines owned in Chile. The
development Of coal exports, the report
states, would cause reduction in re-
turn freights, a factor which goes far
toward accounting for the maritime
tension of American shipping.

CHANCE TO BUILD UP
MERCHANT MARINE
Opportunity for America to
Extend Commerce Pointed
Out in Report.
Statement BY AN AGENT
OF GOVERNMENT BUREAU
What Nations of the World Have
Done and Are Doing to
Assist Shipping.

America now has the opportunity to
build up her merchant marine and TO
extend her commerce such as England
had fifty years ago.
This opportunity is set forth in
report of Special Agent Grosvenor M
Jones of the bureau of foreign and do
mestic commerce, Department of Com
merce. made in view of the widespread
discussion of the subject, which aims.
it is said to make clear just what the
several governments of the world have
done to assist shipping.
One of the effective ways in which
governments have helped their mer-
chant marine, the report states, is by
the reservation to national ships of
the coasting trade. The more important
maritime countries that have done this,
besides the United States, are France,
Italy, Austria Hungary, Spain and Bel
GUM Japan has thus reserved all its
coasting trade since 1910: Russia has
long done it between Russian ports on
the same sea, but it was not until 1897
that the trade between all Russian
ports was restricted to Russian ships.
For years no country of Importance.
except the United States, has required
that ships flying the national flag shall
be of domestic construction. unless they
received what are known as postal sub
ventions. England has granted regis
ters to foreignbuilt ships since about
1850 and as a result of this free-ship
Eolicy the merchant marine of England
received large accessions during the
civil war when more than 100000 tons
of American shipping secured English

tion
Lower Rail Rates in Germany.
Lower rail rates on goods shipped
over specified steamship lines is a
practice that has been followed in Ger
many in the case of the German Levant
and the German East Africa lines. Be
sides enabling German manufacturers
to sell their products at lower prices
in the countries thus reached. they in
crease German trade and increase the
traffic on the preferred steamship lines.
France has also done this in the case
of certain steamship companies.

NEW CUTTER TO BE BUILT.
Will Take Place of the Old Manhat-
tan in Service at New York.

Plans have been prepared in the
Treasury Department for a new vessel
to take the place of the old coast
guard cutter Manhattan. in service at
New York, and bids for the construc-
ton of the vessel will be asked for
within the next three weeks or a
month. The new cutter Is to be 120
feet long, % feet beam and 10h feet
draft She will be equipped with a
seven hundred horsepower engine. and
her boilers will be arranged for oil
burning. She Is to be equipped with
radio, and will have the latest type of
outfit for vessels of her service. 1t
will probably be some time early in
the spring before she is ready for serv-
ice.
The old cutter Manhattan. which the
new vessel will displace. has been for
ty-seven years in active service. She
was built at Chester. Pa, and was
launched in 1873. Built of iron, her
hull has resisted age. and has en-
abled her to be kept in service. A
feature of the new boat will be the
shape of her hull at the bow, which
will enable her to break thick ice. She
will be of much service about New
York harbor in the winter months.

various officials in an effort to stay the
hand of the law. He finally deposited
the petition with Daniel Donovan, sec
retary to the board of Commissioners.
who told him the Commissioners would
consider his plea.
In addition to the petition, which
stated that the "Fairview Hotel is not
considered a menace to the public

BAKER MAY HOLD OFFICE
IF SENATE FAILS TO ACT
Vote on Nomination to Excise Board
Not Regarded as
= Likely.

Unless adverse action is taken by the
Senate before the adjournment of Con-
gress on the nomination of Henry S.
Baker to succeed himself as a mem
ber of the District excise board Mr..
Baker will continue member of that
board. it was pointed out today at the
Capitol. There is much opposition to
his confirmation. on the ground that
he was a member of the board when
a Senate committee Investigated the
board and held that it was permitting
evasions of the excise law. So far the
nomination has not been taken up by
the District committee for action, and
still is pending before that committee.
Whether a meeting of the District
committee can be obtained within the
short time intervening is a matter of
considerable doubt, it was said today.
possibly more Of the members of the
District committee will vote against
Mr.. Bakers confirmation.
The law creating the board says that
a member shall serve until his sue
cessor is appointed. That being the
case Mr.. Baker may continue to serve
Indefinitely in the absence of action
by the Senate. A provision has been
placed in the District appropriation
bill to the effect that no salary shall
be paid any excise commissioner whose
nomination has been rejected by the
Senate. but this will not apply in Mr.
Bakers case, unless the Senate should
actually reject his nomination.

Mr.. HOUSTON EXPLAINS
FEDERAL-AID ROAD ACT
Secretary of Agriculture Tells High
way Officials States Should Co
Operate in Appropriations.

Tentative rules and regulations for
carving out the federal-aid road act
were recently explained by Secretary
Houston of the Department of Agri-
culture to state highway officials at a
meeting of these officials here. Secre-
tary Houston pointed out that the law
establishes a new principle in Ameri-
can government, the principle OF CO.
operation between federal and state
officers, and expressed the belief that
great benefit will accrue to the ma
ton from the wise and efficient ad-
ministration Of the act. He said, in
part:
"T need not emphasize before you
the Importance of good roads. Most
Intelligent people who think about
good roads know that they are es-
sential to comfortable living. essential
to proper community development,
especially to the development of rural
life, to efficient production and orderly
marketing of farm products. to good
schools and to the development OF a
satisfactory rural life.
'"The main question that I am fmme-
diately concerned with. that the people
of the nation are Immediately con-
cerned with, is whether we shall get a
dollars result for every dollar we ex-
pend for roads. I am quite sure that
If we do SO, and we can convince the
people that we have done SO, they will
be willing to put much more money
into good roads where they are needed.
Therefore, the matter of administering
this law, of devising good road sys-
TENS, of careful selection Of roads. of
formulating projects. Of developing
plans and specifications. of having all
matters considered on their merit by
competent men. seems to me to lie at
the root of this business.
THE law involves the pledge Of the
faith of the state to meet in full the
federal appropriation for the entire
period covered by the act. The state
legislature may not be able to appro-
priate money one year for the whole
period covered by the act, but 1t can
pledge the faith of the state to meet
the financial provisions Of the act for
the period covered by it. This is as
IL should be. 1t would be wastefu,
not to make plans at the outset for
the full period covered by the act: it
would mean piece-meal road building
and much dissipation of effort and mis-
direction of funds"
