By that law owners innnne- afatefy encounter a handicap, and it is because of such handicaps as have had to he faced by ship owners in this country that sur merchant ma riae got to the low ebb which it did before the outbreak of the war. Be- cause American shipping could not compete with foreign shipping under the IawS by which she merchant ships under foreign registry, did business we had lost cur hold.
 The war has resulted in a revival of shipbui1dins such as was never seen before We have many ships and are going to have many more. We have refused to allow American holdings to go to foreign hands, though the vessels are now flying the flag of an- other nation because of the more fla voFable conditions which can be se- cured. that we may maintain our shipping facilities.

It has not interposed any objections which were sufficient to cause a relaxation in the methods which were pursued in the conduct of the war regardless of the starvation, brutality and iniustice forced on the invaded countries. It did not check the exaetion of taxes. the murder of women and children and the destruction of property so systematically carried out by the Ger man leaders It did not raise a voice against the frightful submarine war fare or the air raids over the unfor- tifed towns. t did nothing in fact except to lend Encouragement to the very things which brought nearly the whole world to look upon Germany and its allies as enemies of the most dangerous kind. and in view of such an attitude as it took there can be nothing else expected than that il should pay such a penalty as will be exacted now that it has lost.

In keeping with many of the other things which have been proposed and carried out as war measures is the idea of surrounding the camps and naval bases about the country with restrictions in regard to milk. The proposition in regard to the naval base on the Thames is that the milk sold In New London county must be of Al quality or else it must be pas .eurized. The former means the pro- auction of milk which will be low in the bacteria test and the latter means that the milk must be brought to the boiling point and then scien- tlfically cooler. Milk producers must do one or the other or stop selling milk, and have been urged to join a cooperative concern for pasteurizing the milk at a considerable expense which will be later reflected. in the cost to the consumer.
 The war may not be technically over until the peace treaty is signed but it is over to the extent that those in the camps are being mustered out and 50 per cent. of those at the naval Bases have been ordered discharged.
 
 How soon the remainder will be de- mobilized is not known but the need Of protection for the sailors which this pasteurizing scheme was expect cd to afford is going to rapidly disap- pear, or at least is dwindling to the Eoint where it seems to be unjust to enforce such milk regulations upon certain sections of the state. while Inc rest of the commonwealth. or towns just over the designated line, are not affected.
 Being a war measure the need of if Existed more than a year ago, if it existed at all rather than now. It is not known that any sickness has been caused in camps or bases from milk consumed either in the camps or within a radius of 20 miles thereof. and as it IS going to meet a constantly diminishing war need and encounters much opposition. t would appear 10 be time to rescin1 inc order and stop the plan before it gees any farther.
