More Shipping Demanded.

There isn't much use in crying over
smiled milk, but Just the same one can
hardly help thinking how fortunately the
United States would be situated just at
present, were it Independent of foreign
shipping facilities. The thought is sug-
pested bv the plan to 'nationalize' the
entire ocean-going outfit of Great Brit
ain, that is, to bring it under one ad-
ministrative head and utilize 1T eXclu-
sively for the transportation OF NUM-
tions and food supplies for the allied ma
tions. In the end, it is said, it means
the calling in of British ships engaged in
trade between neutral countries and US
inc them to carry the things necessary
for the maintenance of the armies and
civil populations of the entente.
Already the tonnage of the world has
shrllnk to so low point that all the
shipvards in the wcrld cannot provide
enough to keep commerce afloat, and the
prospective withdrawal of more British

frantically building shipping OUTFIT at
war prices, that can be made proiltaoie
only by charging excessive transporta'

costs.
