RETAIN AMERICAN BUILT SHIPS,
The U. S. Should Follow The Precedent St up by Great
Britain to Secure a Large Merchant Marine,

ana no one can predict when
they will be repealed. AT the
end Of this conflict a man who
proposes to sell one Of the ma.
tfon's merchant ships will be
looked upon about as favorably
as a man proposing to sell a
battleship.
Shortly before we entered the
European war, the Cunard
Company placed with American
shipyards az order for l20 large
vessels. Does the writer Of the
Washington dispatch quoted
above mean to imply that these
vessels are to be rushed to com
pletion by our government and
later handed over to the Cunard
Company?
We need the largest merchant
marine In the world and we
have been content with one Of
the most Insignificant.
When the war broke there
were three countries that out
distanced all others in the vol,
ame of their export trade. They
were the United States, Eng
land and Germany. Each had
exports valued at between S..
100000 and S2,5O,00.00C
in the year 1913. But compare
the respective tonnage of car
riers handling these exports
Lloyd's Register" Of June
1914, showed that Great Britain
had 20,523,706 gross tons 0.
shipping, Germany 5,l34,72(
tons Of ships registered for the
foreign trade. We had one.
seventh of the merchant marine
Of Germany and one-twenty.
eighth the merchant marine o.
England. Not only England
and Germany were ahead Of Us
but also Norway, France, Japan
Holland, Italy, Austria, Sweder
and Russia.
Lloyd's for 1915 showed only
slightly different picture
Great Britain had 19,200,00(
Ions, forty-two per cent. Of ths
worlds total. We had 1873,
Us tons, four per cent. of tht
worlds total. There are no Of
icial British figures later thar
1915. In 1916 the United States
had 2,l85,008 tons. 1t is still
a pitiful showing.

AH% 6SfNAAAA~AN - W NSNA
mandeer 700 vessels of more
than 100000 tons now build
ing in our shipyards. Over L.
100000 tons of these ships are
being built by Britishers, The
ships thus Communicated will
be completed more rapidly than
if left under private c~onstruc-
ton.
A Washington dispatch thus
comments on their ultimate
ownership:
The question as to ultimate
ownership of the vessels
which will be Communicated
has not been settled, but final
disposition of the foreign craft
will be left to negotiations
between the United States and
the governments concerned.
If conditions warrant, the
government viii permit priv
ate capital to regain owner
ship of the vessels after they
have been completed; other
wise the government will take
them over. The latter course
would involve a large expen-
diture of money some officials
favor putting to other use.
Only a narrow, legalistic man
could plan to give up the ships
now being Communicated by the
American government. Only a
peanut politician could begrudge
the money spent for acquiring
these priceless ocean carriers.
1t is planned to have the gov
eminent take possession of these
ships, pay the shipbuilders the
money already spent for con-
struction, and pay for the re.
mainder of their construction
upon a cost and percentage ba-
sis. This cost and percentage
basis Of payment viii hasten the
remaining construction work.
Shipbuilders could then afford
to hire extra labor, run night
shifts and in general disregard
expense, in order to speed up
construction The yards were
not able to do this so long as
their payment was on a fixed
contract basis, with the cost Of
labor and materials constantly
rlstag. IL Is not genel4lly re-
cognized that the shipyards OF
the country are all losing money
on their present contracts.
Those contracts when made
seemed very profitable. But
when they were made no one
realized the unheard-of heights
to which shipbuilding material
and shipbuilding labor would
rise. The governments aid is
really needed.
These 100000 tons Of ship
ping when completed will have
cost the government less thar
one-half the price at which such
tonnage could be contracted for
now. The government could
take these ships when complet-
ed and sell them at twice what
they cost. The government
could to-day contract to sell
those vessels for twice the out
lay which it will incur. Their
real values cannot be measured.
No nation after this wal can
have a great foreign trade with
out a great merchant marine.
Let no one doubt that. If the
United States government were
to give away these ships when
once in possession Of them, it
would be equivalent TO throw
ing away our chances on the
worlds markets after the war.
No other nation to-day builds
except for itself. No ship in
English yards at the outbreak
of the war-and there were
hundreds building for foreign
account-ever got to their for
eign Owners" and they never
will. They are under the Brit
ISL flag, and a law forbids the
transfer Of a ship away from
British registry. All belligerents
now have such laws in force
