HARD Times AFTER
PEACE SAYS DOLLAR
Veteran american Shipowner Be-
Iieyes Present Conditions Make
Future An Uncertainty

Captain Robert Dollar, the veteran
American sbipowher, who recently pass.
ed through Japan on his way to China,
fears the United States win see hard
times when peace is declared. When
seen by o. China Press repnrter lin,
Shanghai recently, Captain Dollar,
speaking Of ships, shipping and the
United States merchant marine, said
that the situation today wns without n
parallel in history. 1.-THE present alb.
normal conditions, he went on, make
the future an uncertainty. I believe,
however, that the United States will
see an era Of hard times, after the
great war is Terminated. ~
MANY men that have talked with
are of the opinion that the United
States win enjoy the present prosper.
ity for ten years after the war is over,
but this cannot be. A reconstruction
in the shipping industry must take
place, rs the present abnormal rates
will not hold when the belligerent coun-
tries resume trade with other coin
tries.o ~ 10
At present, the Pacific Coast is the
scene of immense activity. Every ship.
yard, hamlet and village is working
night and day constructing wooded,
steel, in fact every kind of ship, said
Captain Dollar. These ships are of
the auxiliary type, being equipped with
combustion engines and are more or
less of makeshift. They will serve
for the present, in fact Britain prefers
this type of vessel, as they are not so
large and, if sunk by n submarine, the
loss is slight. Until very recently,
most of the ships built on the Pacific
Coast were for Norwegian interests,
but this is now prohibited by act of the
congress.
s'The government has done nothing
20 aid shipowners, said Captain Dol
lar. He said that, while in Washington
recently, he asked congressman why the
government was doing nothing to aid
the merchant marine, and the reply he
received was: eve do not KNOW
Captain Dollar said he had disposed of
all his ships under American registry, rs
the cost of operation who too great in
comparison with ships under British
registry. "
Just few points brought out by
Captain Dollar show how the United
States merchant marine compares with
Great Britain. For instance, the meas
urement Of American ships is thirty pei
cent larger than that of British ships
This means that an owner Of a ship I'M
der American registry must pay thirty
| per cent more at each port. -
| The inspection of American ships u
| more severe and costs considerably
more. Again, American ships are re
quired to carry larger crew than are
vessels of other countries, and this
added cost is without reason. Il
Captain Dollar is visiting his son
Harold Dollar, general manager Of th,
Robert Dollar Company Of Shanghai
The Chinese American trade shows q
wonderful increase, but is still in its In
fancy, according TO the veteran lumber
man and shipowner. He will stay n
Shanghai indefinitely.

scene shortly afterwards.
More Than Usually Brutal
This assault Of the man in the uni.
form is characterized as one Of the
most brutal incidents the witness has
seen, but IL was capped by a still more
aisgraceful act after the soldier, then
unconscious, had been thrown bodily
into the wagon in such manner that
his head hung outside. As the patrol
drove off the arresting officer, prob.
ably, aggrieved at the difficulty he had

The Advertiser has not checked up

of the commander of the local naval
district and his reply to the well in.
