PROTECTION OR AID?.
(From Daily Financial America.)

(From Daily Financial America)
According to the last report of the Bureau OF
Navigation shpyarls. working at capacity
turned out in the last year 1920 ships of 34T,S47
tons OF this tonnage about one-third wooden
vessels, while they constitute 40 per cent of the mum
Der built. While the output of steel merchant ships
IS the largest in the history of our shipyards, il
shows how inadeqnately we are fitted to take mme-
diate advantage of our opportunities.
Congress is about to appropriate $50 600 with
which to buy or charter vessels. This seems large
amount, and in normal times would purchase or
charter a considerable number of bottoms. Today,
however, it does not loom up so big. Chartering
prices prohibit us from using this method to estab
sh trade routes except to bellgerent countries 1t
would be even alost impossible to charter vessels
for this trade now as the freight rates too at
iractive to the present owners TO purchase vessels
Isl on the other hand, equally foolhardy propo,
Isition. Prices of merchant vessels today any
where from six. to twelve times much as they
were before the war AT a recent sale in England a
8030ton vessel built in 1905 and sold in April 1914,
|or $4,000, brought 81 ,0000O0 \ 2212-ton boat,
built in 1888 and sold then for $40 $50, brought
1886 900. Another of 3131 tons, built in 1891 and
sold in 1911 for $50.000 brought $575,000 While
atRenty.nine-y earold bark of 211 tons, which was
sid for $l5,750 six years ago, brought $200,000.

In the Bull Moose Platform

The progressives have prepared platform for
the uses Of their party which might well be pre-
sented to a republican convention. Except for
the variance OF phraseoogy, il contains nothing
OF fundamental or substantial importance that is
not expressed in all the republican platforms from
the beginning OF the partys history. Its single
plank that has not been found in republican
platform is the one endorsing woman suffrage
Regarding defense for the country, not hairs
breadth separates the two. The republicans may
not word their plank in just the language em-
ployed by the progressves, but who can doubt
the sincerity OF the grand old party 10 the duty
OF UNFOLDING the honor OF the nation, its integrity
and authortyl
On the matter OF social justice given 50 much
emphasis four years ago and now reiterated in the
new platform, under what form OF government
has the workngman, the poor man, the toiier or
the builder, thrived with more Of security in all
his ambitions and his undertakings than under the
administration Of the republican partyi II was
the fight for human freedom for the abolition Of
chattel slavery that gave birth 10 the republican
party, and all its record from the time OF John
G. Fremont until now is one Of effort 10 improve
the condition OF the people II has made no class
distinctions and recognizes none, but II does
stand for equal opportunity and full protection
for all On this point nothing but words stands
between the republican party and the progress
sives
These arc the essentials Of the party .deelara-
tons, and 10 them all good Americans subscribe
This being true ii is difficult TO see any reason
for holding open the breach between the wings Of
the one truly great political party. With can
didate like Hughes, and the uhdyng principles,
Of true Amereanism written into a comprehensive
platform, the republican party offers the ono
sure way for ending the present course Of I'M
certainty and incompeteney in national admins
tration.

Reduced crops Of small Grain.

Reports from the Department Of Agriculture
indicate greatly reduced yields Of small grains
for the United States for the coming summer
The wheat output will, according 10 figures just
made public, be nearly J0000000O bushels less
than last year. This was already forecasted, and
has been given due consideration in the fixing
Of prices now prevailing. II means that any in
crease in export Of wheat will draw heavily on
our surplus, although it is hardly likely short
age for home consumption will be created Oats
barley and rye also show similar reduction in
probable yield. Increased acreage OF corn, ac-
cordng 10 some Investigators, will largely make
up for the lessened farm production but will not
entirely account for all. The situation Is peculiar
to say the least II Is in a sense the farmers
answer TO an economic situation developed by the
war. Last year the growing OF wheat was enor-
mously stimulated in all countries Of the earth
with an abnormally large yield. Surplus stocks
have encouraged the farmers OF the United States
at least to give their attention TO something that
will be more in demand, Al any rate the promised
yield of small grain approximates the average Of
the preceding five years and II no further dminu-
ton is noted, the crop will be big enough to feed
Us all
