CUR MERCHANT MARINE.

It is quite evident that much at teiiti0h Tfit1st be devoted by this gov erfiffient to the many problems Witch must be faced in shipping. It is hound to be sef1e time before many of the vessels can be released erorh work in connection with the sdverif- ment service such as getting the iiec- essafv supplies to the nish and get- ting cur soldiers back home. It can not be done in minute of by few ships.
 But at the same time it is nerie to6 carly to give consideration to the diff : faculties which are bound to Be faced tT owners of merchant vessels when they attehht to compete with the shipping under other flags where sd much more favorable laws are iii ef- feet.
 There is bound to De a revival of the fight against the seaIneEts law rot becatse there is opposition to any et all Of the provisions as they stand but because Of the insurrnoilnlable diffi- cuity whiclf is encountered by Amer ican shipoWners when eheying those Provisions in being thrown into com petition with the regulations ee other ratlons. The situation is such that if makes competition next to in1pbs sible.
 Captain Robert Dollar believes that the seamen's law should be so amend ed that any deficiency which exists through compliance with the 1fovis- ions thereof will be made ED by tht government. This would mean a su5- sidy along the line of which is fol lowed in other countries, but he points out the fact that it will not be sub. sidy to the ship owners but to labor since it is because of the higher wages and extra costs which arc made necessary in improving labor conditions that the extra expense is chtailed. This is matter which is bound to come in for much greater at tention than it has received in the past. Our merchant marine Is growing and it should continue tc whether under the control of the gov. crnment for the time being or under private Ownership which is to, be ex. pected later on and it should gel proper treatment and encoura cement

 It is quite important that some com mittee should be authorized t5. take charge of the matter, t6 determine where it would be most advantageous to set out the trees. whether they should be made to flank a highway CT be grouped in a grove. what Kind Of trees should be used ana t6 see that they are not only marked but given proper care. and if through any req son certain ones failed to grow or were damaged or later should die that others Should be set 6tit in their place.
 This is matter to which many cle- ies are giving consideration.
