sented to fasten upon this nation a
military establishment which can
never be shaken off.
The American Junkers are not I'M
wise. Among them are the keenest
minds and shrewdest manipulators
of the country. They look far into
the future and cunningly devise
methods by which they hope to
achieve wealth and power for them
selves, even though their success
means the destruction of our national
ideals and beliefs that democracy
of the people can be maintained and
perpetuated by the voluntary re-
spouse of the people in times of
stress.
In the ebb and flow of history it
is unerringly recorded that with the
advance of militarism, democracy of
the people recedes. The United
States, with its incompatible re-
sources and vast accumulated wealth,
owned and controlled by the Ameri-
can Junker class) is controlled by a
democracy of the people, and wealth,
at least to some degree, is compelled
to assume the burdens of government
and accept a modicum of regulation
Under the present stress of war,
the first favorable opportunity which
has been presented to the American
Junkers for century to engraft up
on this government militarism every
economic and political wire is
freighted with energy in an effort to
commit the United States to an old
world war policy.

a merchant marine war;" declares
Gustav Brown of the Atlantic and
Gulf Sailors Association at the port
of New York. "This period will
show how important seamen are to
a country. The fighting, and GER
tainly the advance fighting, will be
done by the men of the merchant
ships. On them will fall, as it has
already fallen in this and other coun-
tries, the greatest perils and hard
ships of the war. The men of the
navy will be comparatively safe, but
the men of the deep sea merchant
men!"
What will the American people do
who are carrying American COM
merce and American lives to all the
seas? Remember that, with a declar-
alton of war, all the seas become
"war zones"-if, indeed, they did not
become that with the arming of
merchant vessels.
According to official statements,
the United States Navy requires
10000 additional seamen for its war
fleets. Andrew Furuseth, president
of the International Seamen's Union,
has pointed out that the natural
and logical place to recruit them
would be from its merchant marine,
as England and Germany have done.
But, as Mr.. Furuseth also shows.
this cannot be, because, until lately,
the laws of the United States en-
couraged selfish and greedy ship
owners to drive free men off the
seas and to recruit their crews from
the Asiatics who would accept low
wages and bad food and slavery.
Thanks to the Seamen's Law, which
the International Seamen's Union of
America pushed through Congress,
wages and work and safety are much
improved and would be vastly i'm
proved, except for one thing. That
one thing is that the Department of
Commerce does not enforce the law
in its requirement that at least rs
per cent of the crew shall understand
the language of their officers thor
oughly enough to execute all orders
given in an emergency.
This is a truly terrible condition,
which puts the lives of passengers
and of able seamen and officers at
the mercy of incompetent coolies and
lascars and others who can be en-
gagged cheaply.
The navy would not think of re-
cruiting a "jacky" who could not I'M
derstand the orders shouted to him
in battle. Why should the same
government which controls the navy
permit a different rule in the mer-
chant marine? National efficiency
as we'll as industrial justice demand
that now the letter and spirit of the
Seamen's law be enforced. Then the
drift back to the sea of American
youths-a drift which has already
set in slowly-will become a real
current, and America will have a
race of sailors as it had fifty and
more years ago.
In a recent San Francisco inter-
view, Andrew Furuseth said:
Prior to the signing of the sea-
mems act, l said to President Will
son: Some day the country may
need seamen and need them badly.
A large number of men now sailing
do not feel under any more obliga-
tions to the United States than to
any other country. They are here
temporarily. This country has
treated them as any other country
has. If this act becomes law the
seamen will know that they are
free men and that the United States
has made them free. The seamen

PROPHESIED NEED OF AMERICAN
SEAMEN HAS NOW COME TO PASS

nave always 1ougnt Tor the freedom
of others, hoping that some time
freedom would reach down to them.
l feel that if this act becomes a law
they will so much appreciate it that
they will come when you shall need
them, and come voluntarily
when 1 spoke thus to President
Wilson l believed then that l voiced
the heartfelt opinion of the seamen.
l feel now that did, and feel, too,
that very large number of the sea-
men will respond to the call when
it should come.
"Some will respond under a kind
of protest, feeling that they have not
been honestly dealt with under the
law, but they will come, neverthe-
less, but not in as large numbers as
they would otherwise. l feel that
what I said to President Wilson then
was true and it is very largely true
now"
To emphasize the heroic part that
the merchant marine sailor plays,
Gustav Brown estimates that since
the war began 100000 seamen of all
nations have been killed. Seamen
sailing in American bottoms will now
add their toll to that vast number.
Is it not clear that these men who
go down to the sea in ships Tin this
time of vastly added periO should
have insurance? Yet now they have
none, and for the reason which Presi-
dent Franklin of the International
Mercantile Corporation (the Amer
lean line) has given-that the risk
is now so great that no insurance
company will carry it. What irony,
that all the financial burden of that
hazardous and essential employment
should fall on the poorly paid men
who also give their lives! The ves-
sells, which sometimes make several
hundred per cent profits on their
runs, are insured but the seamen
cannot be.
Surely, the United States govern
ment-in loyalty to the seamen who
are so valiant and loyal to it
should see to it that some way should
be devised at once by which every
seamen sailing from an American
port shall carry, without cost to
him, at least $4,000 insurance, to
be paid his relatives in case of his
death or to him in case of total or
great disability. This demand, that
has been voiced by the seamen's
unions, should be considered a neces-
sary incident to any just program of
preparedness.
There are now probably $4,000
seamen in American lake and deep
sea commerce. Of these, nearly
$4,000 sail from Atlantic ports. They
are carrying American trade to the
war zoned countries. They are car
rying it to new trade fields and de-
veloping foreign commerce in all the
seas and all the continents. They
are working for lower wages than
any other skilled men in necessary
trades receive-though their wages
have been much increased through the
Seamen's Union and the Seamen's
Law, and though they are now get
ting an addition of so per cent to
their regular wages.
Gratitude for what they add to
the wealth and power of the nation
and gratitude for their true military
service now las vanguards of the
Navy and Army should compel the
government to go to the limit in
protecting and extending their rights
to safety and to decent wages, to
good food and comfortable ship &C
commodations, and to adequate free
