Losses Inevitable.
So the fight to establish a perma-

Suppose" said one Democratic
leader. that a $50. 100000 private cor
poration should take a charter and go
into shipping. 1t would look like
pretty big and solvent affair, equip

There would be none of that sort OF

One more recent Administration argu

ADMINISTRATION SUPPORT.

Proponents OF the measure have never
shown their hand very fully; but they
have permitted 1t to be known that a
general assault on the legislation would
open a fight which would kill weeks
of time, and probably end in failure.
II the Administration ever had seri-
Gus thought to weakening and revers-
ing its attitude on this measure. 1t has
latterly determined to stand pat.
Quite aside from the political expedi-
encies of the situation, there are some
other reasons why the Administration
believes 1t can afford to support the
legislation. 1t is believed that under
present conditions in the shipping world
the increased cost OF operating ships
under the American flag can be met.
and competition carried on with the
merchant navies of other countries.
In fact, one OF the arguments that
are now strongly advanced in favor OF
the McAdoo ship purchase legislation Is
that IL the Government owns and oper-
ates the ships II will be financially pow
erful enough to comply with the condi-
tions OF the La Toilette law, and grad
ually. by imposing regulations on alien
shipping trade with this country. to
raise other countries merchant fleets to
the American standard in regard to
service conditions among seamen.
Labor Fights Change.
At any rate. that experiment Is going
to be urged upon Congress. The labor
organizations have made 1t very clear
that they. will be bitterly hostile, in the
forthcoming campaign. toward whoever
attempts to surrender the ground they
think they have gained through the
passage OF the seamen's law. Politi-
clans of neither party have much fancy
for meeting such 4 charge during the
coming political battle.
Some of the politicians declare that
the political necessity of letting the La
Toilette bill go unchanged at this time.
has strengthened tie McAdoo shipping
measure y Congress. 4 They argue in
this way:
There may be some losses. for time,
In creating a bigger merchant marine.
Ships, whether old or new. are COM
manding fancy prices. Ships must find
business to do: and when expensive
ships, extensively operated. are put into
the business of developing trade there
must be ample financial backing to
carry through the period Of develop
ment. No power Is so we'll able to
meet this promotion expense. as 1t
might be called. as the Government.
Period of Competition.
1t is impossible at this time to judge
conditions in shipping after the war.
But all the authorities believe That there
will be a period of bitter competition
as soon as the balance is restored to
something like normal, after the war.
The German ships will be back in bust
ness, and vessels of other countries
that have been withdrawn for war use
will also become competitors once more
for general trade. II the United States
seriously attempts to make a big fight
for a real place in the maritime ship
ping world, it will find itself facing
a determined opposition. Germany and
Britain will make greater efforts than
ever; the Scandinavian countries and
Japan, which have nightly advanced
