MERCHANT MARINE
MILITIA ISPEACE
TINE PROPOSAL
SUGGESTION OF CONSUL-GENERA
IN LONDON FOR MANNING
AMERICAN SHIPS WITH
AMERICANS.
IN. E. A. Special to The world)

IN. f. "A. SpeCldi W L nc Noiiu
LONDON, England. is Amer
lea going to get the American mer-
chant marine manned by Americans
Below are given the views of Rob
ert P. Skinner of Ohio, the American
consul general in London.
BY reason of his position and his
long experience with commercial
problems closely connected with ship
ping, Consul General Skinner speaks
with authority.
Summed up, his answer to the ques-
ticn Is government aid, including sup
Elementary government pay, to make
the merchant marine service suffi-
ciently attractive to draw Americans
into it.
In an interview for the Newspaper
Enterprise Association, Consul Gen
eral Skinner said;
perhaps the most serious and diff
ficult task which we have to accom-
polish in the immediate future is the
rehabilitation OF our American mer-
chant marine.
I'VE have the ships, but we have not
the men.
Allies Man Our Ships.
AT the present moment very
great proportion of the merchant yes
sells flying the American flag are OF
fcered by aliens, and, to large ex.
tent, manned by aliens.
"This is a condition which l am sure
everyone will agree needs to be al
tered.
we have, at this moment, 724 ships
under construction, totaling s.5o00O(
tons. We are producing ships with q
rapidity unknown in the whole his
tory OF sllinbuilding.
we produce q ship completed from
truck to keel within a few months
BUT IT TAKES YEARS TO MAKE
A COMPETENT MERCHANT SEA
NAM az9s
1T practical question arises: How
shall weinake service at sea sufficient
" ATTRACTIVE to induce American citi
zens to follow tie sea as a profes
sion, while, at the same time, the own
ers of the ships are compelled to CON
pete with other vessels Differed an
manned by men contented with a me-
terially lower rate of wages?
Must Keep Up Wages.
I'VE know perfectly well the Amel
lean nottingham will not consent t
any scaling down of the rate of wage:
even if we should desire to induce hir
to do So a4
Il have a plan, which is by no mean
novel, based on the war-period pla
of the government think it would a,
complish the result
THE United States itself migI
continue to call for recruits for th
merchant marin. They would col
stitute a marine militia They woul
receive from the government itsel
and amount of supplementary pa
uniforms, pensions after years of Sc
vice and support for widows and 0
phans
This supplementary pay, combine
with standard wages, would be sui
Gent to bring to our nautical schoo
the number of men required and wou
place the trade upon an equality
attractiveness as compared with
dustrial occupations
sAnd it would also assure us tn
our ships might be operated, under ;
circumstances, to the great good of o
national and commercial interests.
