heights hitherto unknown. At the
same time the farmers will be
forced to take a lower price for
their products. So both the con-
sumner and the farmer are forced to
suffer and nobody really gains
anything except small temporary
advantage which is promptly set
aside by memorable natural con-
ditions.
To sum up, the farmers are con-
WINGED that i'll considered, hasty,
badly advised action of urban ma
jorities in their present effort to
lower costs will force down below
cost of production, what the farm
er grows, and they fear that it will,
II persisted in. destroy. or at least
temporarily para1yze, agricultural
effort. Omcial bulletins of the/De-
partment of Agriculture show that
smaller production OF staple crops
means larger net incomes. But
our farmers are Americans; they
are patriots; they are inspired
with love of country and OF
humanity, and they are un-
willing to curtail production at
the expense of urban suffering.
But they insist that they should
not be made the victims of exploit
tation and be forced to carry not
only the penalty but the odium
which should attach to the really
culpable profiteeE. -.--.--.-.-

Marine insurance is considered
one of the most vital features OF
the entire merchant marine pro-
gram, as it is vital to successful
operation Of shipping. Back in 1860
there were number Of marine
insurance companies in the United
States. BY various means and,
methods the British underwriters
gradually secured all the marine
insurance in this country. When
the war started some United
States companies again went into
this business, but not to any great
extent compared with the size of
the business. In 1918 there was
total Of seventy-one and a quar-
ter billion dollars Of risks written
in the United States, and Of this
only about twenty-three and q half
billion dollars was underwritten
by purely American companies.
The amount of > premiums paid on
this business is startling. when
one considers that this is ready
cash that should not go out of this
country.
The House merchant marine COM
mittee hopes to produce a bill that
will encourage and attract money
into the marine insurance business
and SO retain the enormous amount
paid for premiums and retain con-
troll of the insurance in this coun-
a n I'M a <{4v
goes with it.
Drafting Insurance Bill.
The members Of the subcommit-
tee Of which Representative Lehl-
bach of New Jersey is chairman
feel that by bringing the opportuni-
ties of this business to the attention
Of those in the United States inter-
ested in the insurance business, and
by giving them assurance that legis-
lation will be passed to make this
business attractive, it will be pos
sible to build up another very ex-
tensive business purely American.
The bill providing the necessary
legislation to encourage the develop
ment Of an American marine insur-
ance business on a big scale is now
being drafted and will be fathered
by Mr.. Eehlbach.
The pieces of merchant marine
legislation described herein are to be
followed by more general legislation
leading to the proper manning of
ships apd adjustment Of differences
in cost between running American
ships and running foreign ships. The
committee hopes and expects to
evolve some plan for amortizing
these differences in cost so that
shipping now at sea and being con-
structed will he kept busily occupied
for all time.
This merchant marine policy, when
reported to the House from the COM
mittee. will be given priority for
consideration because it Is one of
the very few matters which the re-
publican steering committee has de-
cided shall be given right Of way.
The general topics as outlined above
meet with the favor Of the repub-
hcan majority. and 1t is probable.
according to republican House lead
ers. that they. will become law with
but slight changes.
The big idea is to get the largest
number Of reliable interests and in
dividuals participating in the mer-
chant marine operation to put the
United States in first place in world
trade and to keep this country inde-
pendent Of foreign nations for bot
toms in which to carry its surplus
overseas or to bring back the ex-
change goods from other lands.

Would any sane person ask such
housewife to turn these supplies
over to the market? Would any
person of ordinary Intelligence
charge such a woman with the
crime of boarding? She is holding
these supplies in reserve against
a rainy, non-productive day.
And yet, were the country at war
and such a course deemed essential
to the winning of the conflict. it
would be her duty to surrender
every ounce of jam, every pound
of fruit and every can of vege-
tables. This was, in effect, the
course adopted during the war.
False teachings, false advice.
false rumors and false cries Of
every kind have obscured the
vision of the people and have

when, in reality, their interests are
and ought to be Identical.
Shortage in Coming Winter.
1t can be definitely stated that in
the case of butter. eggs and cheese,
if these are seized from storage
and forced on the open market for
the purpose Of forcing down prices,
the shortage of these provisions
later in the year will be so great

FAST PACIFIC CABLE SERVICE
NEEDED TO ASSURE u. S. TRADE

terly inadequate. as in the case OF
the single cable that forms the only
direct communication between the
United States and the orient. Even
before the outbreak of the European
war that cable was overburdened
business, SO that commercial mes
sages frequently were subject to ma
terial delay.
The huge increase of business.
both commercial and governmental,
brought by the war literally swamped
the cable at frequent intervals, SO
that there have been occasions when
commercial messages were subject to
a delay Of eight days or more. More
over, that cable is old and out of re-
pair and subject to interruption
through breakages. one OF these inter-
ruptions having been several weeks
in duration.
Still Subject to Delays.
Representatives of the cable COM
pany have contended that. with the
restoration Of peace and the resump-
tion Of the use of codes. including
private codes. there would be such
a reduction in the volume of business
that the single existing line could

doing business with the far east have
found. however. that this is not the
case, and that messages are still sub
ject to vexatious and Injurious delay.
Instances have already been submit
ted to the National Foreign Trade
Councils committee, where replies to
cables to the orient quoting prices
good for ten days have not been re-
ceived within that period.
The RATIFICATION of peace is bound
to bring about a restoration Of the
fast cable service from Europe to the
orient, and American business men
feel that the continuation of the
present inadequate service across the
Pacific subjects them to an intolera-
BILE handicap.
An informal preliminary meeting of
the National Foreign Trade Councils
committee, held at India House, New
York. developed strong feeling that
in case effective means are not taken
by the existing cable concerns to i'm
prove communication facilities across
the Pacific. vigorous effort should
be made for the construction of a
new cable.

been considering the necessity for
loadline legislation and registry
laws.
The third, Of which Representa-
tive Lehlbach Of New Jersey is
chairman, has been dealing with
miscellaneous matters. the prin-
cipal of which is marine insurance,
on which an exhaustive inquiry
has been conducted.
The general committee has been
holding hearings for all officials
of the division Of operations Of the
United States Shipping Board. go
ing into the question of handling
ships at the present time and the
various ways in which ships could
be handled and kept on the seas.
Close, inquiry has been made also
into the supervision Of the ship
ping board to get a general idea as
to the results obtained under the
present methods of operation. The
general committee has also taken
up the advisability of freight
supervision, the desira bility OF
establishing rates and Of charter
supervision.
Nautical Schools Considered.
Discussion Of the advantages and
practicability of establishing nau-
teal schools as permanent and con-
tinuing government-supported insti-
tutions has been given careful atten-
ton.
After consideration in committee.
the bill was reported with recon-
mendations for repeal Of the law al
lowing foreign ships to engage in
coastwise trade, and passed by the
house. This is the first definite otep
by Congress toward a broad-gauged
merchant marine policy.
The next matter to be worked out
in committee is regarding ports and
port facilities, on which extensive
studies are now being made. This
is considered Of very great impor-
lance on the principle that "a day
saved in harbor is a day gained at
sea-"
Hearings for all government de-
partments along these lines have
been held. If it appears desirable
and there Is any noticeable demand,
the committee will continue to hear
people outside of the government
departments on all of these subjects.
Profit at Present Rates.
At present the most important
question before the committee is
not in regard to the operation of
ships, because it is realized that
with the present freight rates and
the lack of competition the ship
owners can make a good profit. and
therefore it would be folly at this
time to suggest paying ship sub
sidy. The committee. however, las
gone quite extensively into that
subject.
There are two or three vital
questions which the committee
feels should be decided at once and
on which there should be legisla-
ton with the least possible delay.
The committee feels that the most
important thing now is to encour-
age the sale Of ships. particularly
and especially to smaller concerns
which would buy three or four
ships. man and operate them. The
first thing to be decided was the
price asked by the shipping board
was it of eventual advantage to the
merchant marine to sell these ships
at as high price as possible, or
would it be better to sell them at
such a price, the government taking
the loss, allowing for amortization
