HOPE FOR LIVING COST
CUT BY LOWER RATES

The contention by the progressive element in the
shipping board is that the cost of living in Amer
lea is going to be reduced just in the degree that
ocean tonnage is increased and freight rates
lowered. The easier the exchange Of goods with
other countries, the reader the market for Amer
lean grain and dairy products, easier the terms
on which foreign products can be sold to the
American farmer. Hence the shipbuilding program
should go on, and the Improvement of our port fa-
cties for the quick loading and unloading Of ships
should be hastened. . sa.5 :
| There will be ruinous ate-cutting,'' says the
New York shipping magnates. They point to the
fact that when the Germans first broke into the
international shipping situation, 10 years ago.
the British companies cut the trans Atlantic pas
senger rate as low as $3.50 at one time. This was
a ruinous sort of competition. The British
The nonpartisan leader., 1919-12-08

combine, under the American flag ANTICIPATING
that the senate will go far as the house in its
opposition to any public operation Of ships the
board is alocating it's new vessels to the various
private corporations, new and old, that show fair
prospect Of being able to meet the purchase price
or that will pay the rental required for chartering
them for period Of years.
II Where do the ships go !? S
4 Daily list No. 252, taken as a sample shows that
the steamer Courtois, 200. tons, loaded at Beau
mont with lumber for Aberdeen and Hull, and that
it is managed and operated by the Warren Trans
portation company. Next comes the steamer West
Islay 200 tons, loading at New York with general
cargo for British India and Ceylon, managed and
operated by w. R. Grace & Co. The Lake Gita
4050 tons, loaded at Sabine Texas for Algiers and
Gette with sulphur, managed and operated by
Lawrence & Co. The Western Hero, 857O tons
loaded at New York with general cargo for Brazil
and the River Plato. The West Isleta, 8,475 TONS
loaded at Boston with general cargo for Antwerp
And so on down a list of Is vessels.
@ These ships belonged to the biggest single mer-
chant fleet ever gathered under one directing head
the shipping board. Because this central authority
was created before the ships were built, and be-
cause it still retains a large measure of control
over the routes to be developed and the number of
vessels to be put in service each route the board
is still in a position TO vastly increase American
export trade and to keep the shipping rates down.
For, as long as the board has the writing of the
The nonpartisan leader., 1919-12-08

claimed, at that time, that there were too many
ships for the business that was to be DONE
Their claim has been made ridiculous during the
past year by the demonstration that the nations Of
the globe are all clamoring for ships and foreign
trade Like the railroad situation, the problem is
one of giving efficient service from every port to
every other port, and it will be due to a selfish
private combine, rather than to lack Of demand
for freight service if any reduction in the business
is brought about.
American ships are today being offered for sale
by the board at 1925 per ton-a price higher than
that set by the British government for some of its
tonnage But American ships are going to Amer
lean operators, and it has been proven that Amer
lean operation is more efficient than that of any
other country. American ships dock quicker, load
faster, unload faster and make repairs more
promptly than their competitors. The bogey Of the
American wage scale for seamen has been downed
A dollar paid in wages to an American crew earns
more money than dollar paid in wages to any
European crew. s$
This is one reason why American farm products
are going to go into the European market in the
next few years under better terms than in the
past. We have our bridge Of boats across the
Atlantic, at last, and the shipping board still re
tains enough power to break down any private
tollgates that bridge-that is, any private toll
gates higher than the ones to which we are ac-
customed on our railroads, gas and water mains,
and other utility lines.

This is. q page for all the women Of the Lead

O'Neill is worth while for every farm woman.
What you do to save steps in the home, to
tighten your work, may help to save steps for
some other farmers wife and to tighten her
daily tasks. What have you read that has

others? Here is the place which the Leader
has set aside where the women of the big

PROCURE OIL FROM BIRDS
Inhabitants Of the Island of ST. KiIda
Are Especially Favored in Re-
spect of Light.

The price of coal oil is matter OF
no interest to the inhabitants of the
island of st. Kilda, favorite haunt
of that animated oil can, the fulmar,
observes the Cincinnati Commercial
Tribune. So rich in oil is this sea
bird that the natives simply pass a
wick through It's body and use it as
lamp.
The oil Is also one of the principal
articles exported from the island
1t is found in the birds stomachs, is
amber colored and has a peculiarly
nauseous odor. The old birds are said
to feed the young with 1t, and when
they are caught or attacked they light
en- themselves by disgorging it.
!. In st. Kilda it is legal to kill the full
mars only during one week in the
year; but during that week from lS,OOO
to 10000 birds are destroyed.
The mutton bird Of the Antarctic
also carriessits oil in the stomach and
can eject this oil through the nostrils
as a means of defense against enc
mics. = s
Quantities of mutton birds are
slaughtered every year for their oil on
the coasts of Tasmania and New Zea'
land. In It's composition and proper
ties this oil closely resembles sperm
oil.
