NEED OF A MERCHANT MARINE.

(The Evening Mail. New York.)
 The National Marine League has a big task ahead of it-almost the big gest in the country. It is doing that task well, and deserves nationwide support. It can do the task even bet ter. Its work is to teach the interior of the country what merchant ma rine means. Our legislation is in the hands of the states between the Alle- ghany and Rocky Mountains, states removed from the seaboard. They pass the national laws under which we on the seaboard also must live. With the West uneducated as to the need of American ships, 1t is as if a country of chickens were legislating for a country of ducks.
 We are a nation of ducks. Our fu- ture lies upon the water. The seaports are simply tunnels through which is poured the export and import trade of the American interior. New York is nothing but a gateway for the nations commerce; Boston and Philadelphia and Baltimore and New Orleans are others. If our ocean services ceased it is not New York that suffers so much as Indiana and Illinois. Their surplus products. backed up in their farms and factories, overload the market and force ruinous prices fol all they sell.
 Why have American ships? Why not British and German to do our carrying for us? Because we have tried it. When war broke out all 1 German ships were chased off the seas. Over 60 per cent. of British | tonnage has been communicated and | used for the admiralty. The re-
 mainder was so small that it charged | the most ruinous freight rates What is paid us in America is the price pait
 for goods delivered abroad minus the cost of transportation. Nearly 90 pel ] cent. of our foreign commerce before the war was carried in foreign vessels l only 10 per cent. in American If % | per cent. had been carried in Ameri 1 can vessels those vessels would hay, ! been available to carry for us today 1 Freight rates would not be half wha 1 they now are; hundreds of millions O dollars more would be in American l pockets and our exports to the Euro | pean destinations would not know tn,
 present limitations imposed by a pitt l full lack of tonnage to carry them. w, 1 can never again let our goods be sub | ject to service by the ocean deliver,

 Yet the merchant marine must b. brought home to the people not as
 national but as a personal need Tn
