TO increase tho number OF cargo ships
building to meet losses by U-boats is
the virtual appeal to China to help with
shipynrds. The announcement il made
that tho United States will put from
&25 5000, 900 to $50 OOO, 900 into the con-
rtriction of shipyards in China and will
order from such yards in the first year not
less than 10000 tons of steel ships
Japan has done and is doing some ship
building for us without financial assist
ance.
The Chinese government ia warmly
IN favor OF our new project. We believe
the Chinese people feel tho same way.
As Tor economic and industrial advantages,
they arc many. First, of course, cheap
unskilled labor and skilled labor not nearly
80 expensive as here. But China can
also furnish her own material timber Is
plenty, copper from Yunnan is available
and not TO mention Shan-si, Chih-li and
Shan-tung, the iron deposits in IIanlow
are the richest in the world and alone in
1918 turned out more than half million
tons of ore.--Brooklyn Eagle

FEDERAL MONEY FOR

More than one State will follow with
interest the efforts of New Jersey TO get a
Federal appropriation for rebuilding the
roads worn out by the motor trucks heayi-
ly loaded with war supplies The argu-
ment for Federal assistance the
national government is benefited by
roads paid for out Of State funds-is
plausible, but the government NAV take
the ground that the States are protected
by the war work authorized by Congress-.
The fact that the government before the
war devised program for giving money

ments doubtless will be one of the arg,I-
ments presented by New jersey.

the roads are used by heavy motor trucks,
Michigan, Illinois, Ohio, Indiana, New

likely to have insistent calls from MANY
