The Present Need
Is Trained Men

Inc present situation in the shipping
trade, as outlined by representatives
of several companies, supplies evidence
Of the need for training The per
sonnet of many Offices has suffered con-
slderably through the entry Of men
into the army and navy. and the diff
tcultles experienced in replacing men
who have entered the service are re-
ported as great. The business is high
y technical and the hiring Of mex
perienced mon, for even relatively
minor jobs, has not proved satisfactory.
ut will be necessary" Mr.. Britain
asserts, "to get the people of the coun-
try, or It least those in each COM
munity who are natural leaders and
who In all democracies guide public
opinion, saturated with the idea that
something more than ships, their Of
hcers and crews and the mighty high
ways of the ocean are required to make
the United States great maritime ma
ton. Also, it is absolutely necessary
that we begin at once the work of sys-
tematically equipping a body of men
capable of successfully conducting the
commercial affairs involved in the op-
Grafton of the large number of ship
ping concerns which will be required
to manage the mercantile fleet of the
United States at the conclusion of hos
tilities and after the armed forces of
the country have been returned.
IF this is not done cur shipping
will perforce have recourse to young
Brltons, Swedes, Norwegians and Danes
as those alone, IL anything like suf-
fcient numbers, will have the expert
ence to qualify. To this end it seems
to me- that excellent material is at
hand in the thousands of young men
from all parts Of the country who
have had college or high school educa J.
tions and who have entered the navy
for the duration Of the war. Many of
these young men, when dem obilized,
will be at loss to know what to do.
If We can give them adequate training
while iii service such men will be
equipped to fill technical positions

When demobilization takes place at
the close of the war the United States
will be the largest owner of steamships
among nations, with an overseas trade
to every part of the world. The ex-
pansion Of our production, to meet
war needs, will supply surplus of

She Must ind
Cargo Where 1t Is

ramp steamers perform 20 per cent
of tha international carrying trade
This is largely due to the fact that
but few ports of the world have Il
large trade made up of wide variety
of articles to be shipped in fairly even
quantities throughout the year In the
vast majority of the many hundred
ports upon the world ocean the bulk
of the commerce is limited to a very
small variety Of articles, often a single
article, and that again is often shipped
during only a part of the year-most
likely raw product. cheap and heavy,
which must be carried at IS low rate
as possible. North America sends
across the Atlantic more than twice
as many tons Of freight as Europe sends
back; China and Japan import more
than twice as much in bulk as they
export; and the Dutch East Indies, the
west coast Of South America and the
Pacific coast Of the United States all
export more than they import As a
consequence, the tramp steamer can
not exoect TO secure cargo both ways
and run regularly back and forth en-
the same route. She must, to be profit
able, pass over the route in the direc-
ton OF the heaviest freight movement
The worlds freight, of course. can
not be carried without sending vessels
to places where there is no return
cargo but the fewer the voyages of
this character the greater the profit.
Lacking cargo, the ship must take bal
last, but rather than do this the tramp
vesse! can afford to carry bulk cargo
very chcaply, and 50 it happens that
coal and other products are carried as
ballast substitutes at or even less than
the cost Of running the ship Again.
there is the question of fueIling; be-
cause a ship, if she coaled in sufficient
quantity to take her great distance.
would have little room left over for
cargo. she loads with small quantities
of fuel, which she procures at coaing
stations along her route. according to
the relative costs of coal at these
ports.
AS typical example of the course
taken by the ordinary tramp steamer,
that of a British vessel leaving Emlen,
Germany, with cargo, on November 13,
1911. and returning to Cardiff, Wales,
on February 9, 1914, is of interest.
During the two years and three
months of its trip the tramp stopped at
nine ports TO coal and at fourteen to
load or discharge cargo. This does not
