It has NOT been Ions since Hog Island was national
scaudal-nade so by the scandalOus methods of the
constructive critics OF senate Because the great
industry could be completed the estimated
assumed by these seutnels of liberty that
one being sWindled
Being a senatorial sentinel i'm tine watch tower is
great sport hc has 90 do s TO stop the procession
devil are YOU going
The public was fooled about Hos island II made ITS
sorry Jokes about Hog Island The same public used
10 make its Jokes about Josephus Daniels be-
cause the public stupid but because the hirengs of
the republic sometimes unreliable and the agencies
OF publicity are not always honest TT the papers this
evening were 10 announce that Baltimore had been
wiped out by earthquake would naturally believe
But now mo- more Jokes are being made about Hog
Island No more senatorial junketing trips beins
made there TO create the impression that there is
something radically The other day the president
went there 10 launch ship and the diplomats of
Latn-America went to marvel but constructive critics
tissue"
Ten months ago the enormous amount of land COW
cred by Hog Island was a swamp. After ten months
here of the things they have there the site
of the former swamp
They have 80 ways for steer ships-which is one
fourth many ways England has-untu recently
the greatest ship building country in the world
Within the yards they have so miles standard
railway. and is miles of roads.
1t requires 10000 piles to support its ways
1t has frontage of more than mile for its serried
battle line of ships
Operated fun capacity will 1850 GOO
tons of shipping a year.
And there mighty army OF carpenters and ship
builders. most of them bat recently trained their
task, and every of them master i'm his line are
at work day and night each striving with IF
personal pride make the surpass the fondes
expectations of Hurley and Schwab
And this conversion of "a swamp into this mighty ship
yard has been made I'm 1o months This that the
republic here has worked four times faster than
IL worked the construction of the Panama canal.
Hog Island-the national scandal OF five months ago
lis today the greatest ship yard the world England
has been devotng industrial genius 10 ship build
ing for There ships have been made for
the entire world. When the began ships became
imperative necessity for England and she has pushed
her yards their fUl capacity And less than
Hog Island has been made into The greatest ship
yard i'm the world.-greater than the greatest
land.
And this cannot be explained away on the. ground
that Schwab has last been appointed and. of
we doing very well ow-for Schwab had nothns
10 with the building and eQuippng and manning of
Hog Island That done hy the 'ncompetents." AMI
after the incompetent~ had done it, it Schwab who
looked upon the work and said. After all that ms
predecessors have done it seems to that my work
of making ships is easy u COMPARISON
And yet 1--WE months aeo Hog Island scandal
Five months really Intelligent Americans thought
Hog Island "a Joke
Five months ago HOS Island was issue"
Today that issue is another dead rat
Really the constructive critics should ask for time
to bury their dead-the stencil has become mtolerahe
