Many newspapers in many parts Of
the country have made an effort to
have Senator Stone displaced from
the Craftsmanship of the committee on
foreign relations. Many citizens and
organizations have also tried to get
this change made. But all to no avail.
That particular Stone will remain
about the neck of the committee.

GOVERNMENT CONTROL
BRINGS WASTE

Declaring that waste in carrying
power can only be checked through
the compelling power of commercial
pressure-"individual profit and loss
acting directly on all those con-
cerned"- the Liverpool Steamship
Owners Association brands state
state control of shipping in England
a failure.
The report of the association as
serts that direct state management of
shipping is impossible. The state is
so bad a manager that state control
Of the nations tonnage would mean
quick starvation" and the association
views with grave concern the grow
ing number Of British ships placed
under state management, which has
resulted in the past two and a half
years Of war. in constant and serious
wastage The report goes on to say:
The inevitable results of state
management have been waste of time,
loss of ocean carrying power and,
therefore. the imports. 1t is
idle to imagine that departmental
managers can ever exercise over hun
dreds of ships the kind of control
which the shipping companies, with
their highly trained and specialized
stats, must exercise over tens of
ships if the maximum carrying power
is to be maintained" The Importance
of avoiding waste in the operations of
loading and discharging is empha-
sized, which can best be secured
through the energy and enterprise or
the ship owners and their stats at
home and abroad.
Since the outbreak of the wal near
ly one-third of the British mercantile
marine has been brought under state
management and devoted to purely
military purposes. This means an
nual carrying capacity of $4,000, 00e
tons of imports and exports; but so
great has been the wastage through
delay, poor management, red tape.
ETC., that, as the association pertinently
remarks, lit is manifest that if the
remaining two-thirds had been util-
lied only in proportion to the me-
third under military control, the ma
ton must have starved long ago."
And this condition of affairs obtains
at a time when the British empire is
lighting for its very existence, and
England expects every man to DO
his duty"
No blame is attached to the officials
charged with the management of
these Communicated ships; they are
doing the best they can, but their best
is incompetent properly to meet the
situation.
This government, under an admin
.istration mounting litapies to Thomas
Jefferson, the great exponent of non
of government in private
enterprise, has legislated for state
control of u merchant marine, even
in time of peace, and we have a ship
ping commission on our hands which,
when it is not snoozing, is pickering.
The sea is England's element; Eng
lish babes are fairly sucked with salt
water. If state control of merchant
marine is a failure in a country where
the sea is part of the blood, and AZ
such a time as this, it will be inter-
to note the accomplishments Of
our shipping commission in this coun-
try, where the merchant marine has
met so many years of Encouragement
and opposition from the Democratic

RAW MATERIAL SAID +

IBy Associated Prsssl

PARIS, France -Frenchmen who
believe i'll developing the home mar
ket as the best means of promoting an
economic recovery after the war are
calling for grand master" of raw
materials. or something like the i'm
perial office for the economic transit
tion period in Germany. compe-
tent man. with sufficient legal author
ity and with full control of the utiliza-
ton of the natural resources of
France, they think. would accomplish
in the restoration of general indus
tries a work comparable to what NJ.
Albert Thomas, the minister of NUM-
tons, has accomplished in the prodnc-
ton of arms and projectiles. ~
The French colonies, it s pointed
out. would be a rich field for the eff
forts of such department. Algeria
has petroleum, copper and zinc. Other
North African colonies have rich de-
posits of copper. zinc and antinlony
while the Southern Sahara, Dahcmey
and Congo are rich in vegetable oils
and seeds for the manufacture CT veg
etable oils and seeds for the manu-
facture of vegetable fats. Of this PRO
duction Germany bought and exported
10 per cent before the war.
Great Britain is profitirg from the
Blockade and from the poverty of the
French merchant marine to displace
Germany in this African trade, buying
up allogeneous products OF the french
colonies for the time being. The dan
ger of being disfanepd nv Grplt Britt
ain in the utilization of the products.
CT their colonies is not overlooked by
Frenchmen who, after - years of
comparative neglect. realize now what
they lost by too little attention to the
resources of the colonies
The development of those resources
by the aid of rebuilt merchant ma
rine and the extension OF her new
chemical industries and new steel and
iron works born of war needs, IS
much counted upon for the revival of
French trade.

The purpose OF the resolution" the

a dangerous procedure"

Treasurer c. J. Mccarthy also came
to the meeting at the request OF the

that such a change would be of little
value, and that the financial realiza-

bill by Senator Desha which would
place the power of filling vacancies
