OUR SHIP PROGRAM

Major General Goethals, the FAM
Gus canal builder, has been drafted
by Uncle Sam into a job which may
prove more stupendous even than that
of digging the big ditch-that is, the
construction of steamships faster than
German submarines can sink them.
The program laid down for Gen.
Goethals provides for the building of
/ 900 ships of 5000 tons burden each
within eighteen months, which is an
average for the entire year and half
of approximately two vessels daily.
The authorities believe that il this
average can be maintained, with the
tonnage the allies can turn out. it will
be impossible for the kaiser's U-boats
TO execute their ambitious program,
which has for its object the starva-
ton of England and the domination
of the world.
But Gen. Goethals says it is ''hope-
less''-this program of building 1000
wooden vessels in eighteen months,
because birds are still nesting in the
trees that will go into the ships, be-
cause there are no plans or specifi-
cations for such vessels and because
the requisite cash is not available
and consequently he has sent out
Macedonia call to the steel manu-
facturers.
Who is to blame for this situation?
just where the responsibility rests
we do not know, but we do know.
that the Pacific Northwest is willing
and eager to start the construction
of it's share of those proposed wood
en- ships. They have been waiting for
more than month for contracts. The
lumber industry is prepared to fell
and haul to the shipyards those trees
in which the birds are still nesting
and it can be done much more speed
lily than the material can be used. The
West has been assured that it would
get it's quota of ships and because
of the facilities here for such work
it is in position to outstrip any other
section of the country in the race with
the German submarines.
There has been so much haggling
Valdez daily prospector., 1917-06-12

over the question Of material to be
used-wood or steel-that the West
suspects the steel magnates have al
most put one over" General Goe-
thals describes all boards as long,
narrow and wooden" and it is not
improbable that much of the delay
should be placed on certain commits
sions and committees in congress
which have been backing and filling
on the ships question ever since the
anti-submarine program was launch
ed.
The West is growing impatient with
the bureaucrats or whOmever is res
ponsible for the Fabianism at Wash
ington. It thinks it should be given
a chance to show what it can do to-
ward turning out wooden ships. But
it might willingly sacrifice any advan-
tage it might gain thereby if some
thing were done 1t would like to see
more action and less lip service.

that will crystalline sentiment around
the Representatives of government and
make for a successful conducting OF
the war.
The President appears to have no
confidence in Congress and Congress
is suspicious and critical with the
President and his official family.
The attitude of both the executive
and the legislative branches with res
pect to each other is perhaps equally
responsible for the dilatory tactics
that have become so irritating to the
public.
War was declared seven weeks ago
and yet the army appropriation bill
and CONSUMPTION measures have just
become law. That style OF speed
ing up" the national defense must
appear truly amusing to our allies
on the other side of the Atlantic.
There is much evidence of anna
teur management of affairs that a
little rapid-fre work, such as would
naturally result from calling Roose-
welt into the service, would be a most
agreeable transformation.

SAY NOT SLACKERS

Several young college students who
came north on the Alameda last trip
to work in cannery at Port Nellie
Juan, want it understood that they
are not the fellows who sailed out of
Seattle to avoid military CONSUMPTION.
Information was received by the
Gateway on the last visit of the Ala
media here that CONSUMPTION heaters
had come north on this vessel and
from other sources it has since been
learned that others intending to avoid
CONSUMPTION had come north and
gone to remote sections.

learned that when the day for mill

in the territory will be covered, so
that any attempt that may have been
made to evade conscription will fail.
