SHIPS BE SAILED?

ana iron Tor wood. Great Britain
was in the best position to take adj
vantage of the change. and thus the
supremacy once won by our clipper
ships passed to her What part a
system of subsidies might have play
ed in changing the course of events
is another question which cannot be
answered offhand. Without denying
the value of subventions that permit
ted the building Of fast mail ships
fand the establishment or strategic
commercial routes, it may be noted
that the mercantile marine of Great
Britain. only a small part OF which
drew any money from the Govern
ment easily outstripped that of
France, for example, in spite of the
fact that tonnage bounties made it
possible for French ships, to bring
returns to their owners by the simple
Irocess of sailing in ballast. 1t is
unlikely that any system of subsid-
les on large scale would have diff
ferent effect here. For there are
certain fundamental obstacles to free
American competition which must be
Il froyed before the nation can hold
IL rank in sea power to which its
histo1y and its position entitle it.
The navigation laws which gave
American shipowners monopoly Of
the coas, wise trade but forbade Amer
lean registry to ships built abroad
never accomplished their ostensible
object of protecting the American
shipbuilder Even with the heavy
mail subsidy given TO the American
Lime. it ordered no new liners after
the st. Louis and ST. Paul in 1896.
THE holding company, the 'Interna-
tional Mercantile Marine, put its new
ships under the British or Belgian
flags. But for the needs OF the navy,
American shipyards would have been
in bad way. The war has changed
all that Probably under the new
conditions American shipyards may
compete on even terms with foreign.
If they cannot the old dilemma will
continue to exist-Subsidies or Gov
ernment ownership to make good the
difference in cost. or still more i'm
portance for the present is the ques-
ton of operation. The seamen's act
has added materially to the burden Of
the American shipowne,. Its pur-i
pose to secure. better treatment for
seamen is admirable; but in practice
ii has promoted strikes, maintained
an artificial scale OF wages, and so,
as in the Pacific trade, has all but
driven American ships from the sea.
Such a provision as that in the I'm
derwood law, for differential duties in
favor of caIgoes carried in American
bottoms, does not get to the bottom
of the evil. The most hopeful posi-
bility is that after the war wages
will tend to equalize themselves in
all maritime nations, though that can
hardly be expected so long as our
eeamen's act remains.
None of these problems let US re-
peat, can be solved by Government
operation. You cannot make water
run uphill by fiat.-Philadelphia Pub
lie Ledger.

Of Aer. Daniels are no doubt the
views of the Administration, and the

them officially. But before the time
comes for dealing with the futura of

Daniels says nothing of Governm ant
ownership of the ships. but Govern
ment building and operation of them
would leave Individual owners with
out any real direction of their prop
erty. And for every problem solvr
ed by such a departure from American
traditions a new one would be raised.
The difficulties in the way of re-
establishing our merchant marine are
many, and perhaps the Government
might meet them for the time more
promptly than any other agency.
Thus it can override economic laws
up to a certain point; it can make an
unpro6tahle trade profitable by the
simple process of charging the bill to
the taxpayer Mr.. Daniels, opposing
subsidies for afavorite shipowners,"
would nevertheless saddle the country
with the cost of an enormous sub
sidy. For example, he would have
the Government guarantee freight
rates at cost to introduce American
made goods" The purpose is admir-
able. But it is clear that for every
avenue of profit closed there must
be a draft upon the national treasury.
And IL subsidies for ''favorite ship
owners" would Exhaust the treasury
and not insure trade" how would the
direct expenditure by the Govern
ment work an economic miracle? 1t
must be remembered that, under any
conditions, the United States is going
to have some lively competition from
other maritime nations The obvious
way to meet it is TO be able to do
business as cheaply and effectively
as those nations. If Government
ownership or control does not achieve
this, then our great merchant fleet
win represent loss, whether it
comes out of the universal or the in

kind shall be bought, except throw

The ability of the packers to carry
out this arrangement will depend on
there being a normal marketing Of
hogs based upon the proportionate in

The increase in production appears to
be a maximum Of about 10 per cent.
and we can handle such an increase.

they have in the past. few weeks, pre-

PAYS HIGH TRIBUTE TO
UNCLE SANS SOLDIERS

American soldiers can stick their
chests out farther, wear. bigger shoes
and bigger hats and take longer
steps than any other soldier in the
world.
Such are the observations made by
Allen B. Albert, a war camp commu-
nifty wroker who has made a close
study of the United States soldier.
He says our soldiers are far better
type than those of our enemies or
our allies. Army life had developed
them wonderfully, making them far
sturGier than in civil life, he says.
