Needs of Our Merchant
Marine Rests Upon Per-
nlanent Basis
TRADS FOLLOWS FLAG
American Merchant Marine Will
Hold and Control Our Foreign
Trade

The building and permanent maint-
enance in active operation of a mer-
chant marine is essential not only for
our military interests in time of war
but for the development of foreign
trade and the advancement of Amer
lean industry in time of peace. In
time of war we must have ships a
valuable and at immediate command
for the transportation of troops and
supplies. In time of war, even
though we be neutral, we must also
have ships in which to transport our
commerce.
But the need of a merchant marine
rests upon more permanent basis
than that of wartime demands. Just
as rail transportation is a prerequis-
tie to the development of domestic
trade, so ocean transportation IS es-
sential to- development of foreign
trade. Ocean transportation agencies
not only provide delivery service for
goods already sold, but, if the agen-
cies be friendly, they secure new ord
ers for larger quantities Of products.
It makes much difference whether the
transportation lines are owned by
Americans or by rivals Of Americans.
1t makes much difference whether
goods manufactured in America must
go to Buenos Ayres by way of Liver
pool or go direct from an American
port to the Argentine buyer. There
is not only difference in time, and
probably some difference in trans
portation charges, in favor of the di-
rect route, but there is a difference
in prestige and opportunity for Great
ing friendly attitude toward Amer
lean goods and American producers.
Every American flag on a ship in port
is an advertisement for the nation
which it represents. Evels- American
ships officer or employee while in
foreign port is potential adver-
tiser of American goods and build
er of trade for American merchants.
These considerations must be kept
in mind in studying the merchant
marine problem, lest we get the no.
ton that our only interest is in hav-
ing goods transported at the lowest
cost for cargo space. Just as every
retail merchant sells and delivers
some goods at delivery cost which
exceeds his margin of profit on the
goods, making up that loss in the
aggregate margins of profits, SO the
nation IN undertaking TO expand its
The evening Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1918-1920, 1919-03-07

foreign sales must expect to incur
some Improbable delivery costs
which will be more than counterbal-
anced by enlarged markets for our
products, enlarged employment of
American labor, and enlarged income
upon American investments. A sure
foreign market for a surplus is the
best safeguard against the ruinous
effects of glut in the domestic mar
ket. A foreign demand, made per-
manent by a continuous and prompt
supply by means of regular trans
portation lines, is one of the most de-
pendable guarantees against depres-
sion following over-production. Every
producer, therefore, should be inter
ested in finding a larger market not
only for his own product but for the
products of other industries, so that
those engaged in other industries may
be constant buyers of his own output
at profitable prices.
At present there is little difficulty
in selling all our products at home or
abroad. Gradual return to peace
conditions, however, may very likely
bring about a radically different sit
uation. Wise preparation for any
contingency requires that we not on
ly produce as extensively as possible
but that we secure and retain as
large control as possible over our
foreign trade. This can be accom-
plished only through the instrument
atty of an American merchant marine
of as large a tonnage as we can rea-
sonably hope to employ in ocean
transportation.
In dealing with the new Germany
it is well to keep in mind Solomon's
wise injunction: "Spare the rod and

March Number of The Academy
Student One of the
Best

How many fathers and mothers
know even the general trend that edu-
catien is taking today. 1t is similar
OF dissimilar to the trend Of the past
20 or 80 years. It is fostering the
high ideals which the coming years
will demand of every citizen. Let us
remember continually that the pro-
mise of land is in its youth.
How can community best keep
in touch with it's schools? Of course
the whole community takes an inter
est in school affairs, but how many
are there, aside from those whose
children attend, who are really intel
ligent about the work and activities
being carried on within the buildings.
Unfortunately, not every person is
in a position to visit the sessions,
welcome though he would be. How
then can the interested citizen
keep in touch with the school life of
the community?
The most satisfactory means is q
good school paper. The March IL
sue of the Academy Student is out
and should be of interest to every
citizen of St. Johnsbury. There are
two departments in this number which
are of unusual interest. The writer
of ''The One Man Army has shown
a very real literary talent. And in
Public Opinion the reader will be
interested to know what the Academy
thinks of itself.

tributed to the pupils of the Academy

stance the hand-infested wash-water
furnishes the Intermediary vehicle to
other hands, which in turn carry the
infection to other mouths. Witho tt
doubt convection of the influenza vir-
US may take place through the inter-
mediation of all manner of articles
commonly handled by large group.
"The bad habit of smothering the
cough with the hand adds greatly to
the possibility of hand-to-hand trans
fer. We are all familiar with in ami
mate objects which are touched OF
handled by large numbers of indivi-
duals. These may be regarded as in
termediate conveyers. If a recently
contaminated hand of an infected in
dividual soils a door-knok, a pencil, a
street-car hanger, telephone-receiv-
er, or many other conveyors which
might be mentioned, it is a certainty
that non-immune individuals may be-
come infected from the conveyers
through hand-to-mouth infection. We
do not know what percentage of tran
smission is by this route, but proceed
ures in certain organizations have
been instituted which may shed some
light on this point"
If the method of washing mess
kits in the Army is resonpsible fol
the high rate of infections, it is
equally probable, the writers believe
that the method of washing tableware
IN civil life is possible means OF
spread. 1t is probable, they think
that dish-washing accounts for q
large part of the transmission in fam
lilies after the infection has once been
introduced.
Anything that will help to stamp
this awful white plague out is dis
tinct contribution to humanity!

Income Tax Payments to Be
Made on March Is

PORTSMOUTH, N. H., Feb. 27-
Income tax payments this year are
due earlier than ever before. The
first payment date is March 18th,
simultaneous with the final due date
of the return required by the new
Revenue Law.
"File and pay by March 18th" is
the new slogan Of the Internal Reve
hue Bureau. Collector Jones is pre-
pairing to handle the food of income
tax payments that will reach him be-
tween now and the close of business
on Saturday, March 18th.
"Early payment of Income Taxes
is Of the utmost Importance in meet
ing the Treasury's debts brought
about by war; explains Collector
Jones. "The new laws names March
18th as the first date because there
are large obligations outstanding in
the form of certificates of indebted
ness that must be met on that date.
"The earlier payments this year
should cause no hardship to taxpayers
who, generally speaking, have antic-
ipated the enactment of the new law
and have set aside a reserve from
1918 income to meet the Government
tax
"What is needed now is another
practical display of that great spirit
of cooperation which has carried
over the top every big governmental
objective that had to do with the
winning of the war. The persons
and corporations who are called upon
by the new law to pay Income and
War Excess Profits taxes in 1918 in
come have great, vital duty to per-
form That it will be done in the
thorough American way is a foregone
conclusion.
every taxpayer who can possibly
do so is urged to pay his entire tax
when filing his return, on or before
March 18th. The instalment method
by which one-quarter of the amount
may be paid at that time, followed by
quarterly payments on June 18th
Sept. 18th and Dec. 18th is intended
for taxpayers whose financing of the

"Don't wait until the final due date
March 18th, for filing your return
or paying your tax. Let US eliminate
the last minute rush, so far as pos
sible. By evenly distributing the
load, between now and March 18th
every taxpayer will have chance te
get any needed advice and in deter
mining his liability and preparing his
return. The Internal Revenue Blu
reau has placed its entire energies
into meeting the needs of taxpayers
in this respect. Also, by distribut
ing the load, the government ma
chinery will be better able to stane
the strain that this great effort en-
tails.

time. 1t is vital to the Income Tax

Catching Influenza

Here's some inter ,sting reading
about the spreading of the cursed in
fiuenza, which comes from the ply
sicians in the army camps and ought
to be of interest in every town and
hamlet in America!
That the human hand is more re-
sponsible for the spread of influenza
than any other one agency IS the
opinion of Col. Charles Lynch and
Lieut.-Col J. G. Cumming, United
States Medical Corps. They base
their conclusions on observations
made at army camps, where the Eek
plosive" spread of the disease cam
not be explained, they think, by direct
contact, or by any other kind of in
direct infection. It is essentially a
hand-to-mouth disease If the hands
of all persons, in other words, could
be kept away from their faces,
whether they are themselves infected
or non-infected, much of the infec-
ton would be eliminated The infec-
ton is taken from the patient
mouth by his hand and transferred to
water, Or to some object, whence it
IS In turn removed by new victim S
hand and carried to his own mouth.
In army-camps, the authors believe
that water in which the mess-kits
were washed was responsible for
much of the trouble. They write
in The Military Surgeon washing
tom that in certain period under
observation the rate per thousand for
the group eating from mess-kits was
476, while that for the group using
tableware was "a, the rate in one
group being five times that of the
other. One factor would appear res
ponsible for the large difference
"This is the hand. 1t is primarily
responsible, the mess-kit wash-water
constituting not only the vehicle of
transmission, but at the same time
furnishing an optimum temperature
fluid medium, and an intermediate
conveyer for large quantities of in
fictitious agents. If, as these obser-
vations show, the hand is responsible
for the contamination of mess-kit
wash-water with resulting fulminant
epidemics, it follows that the minor
routes of transmission are, by the
same geenral rule, mouth-to-hand
and hand-to-mouth infection.
"The mouth is touched by the hand
many times daily =. This explains
the explosive character of influenza
outbreaks, since the explosive char
acter of any outbreak is dependent
on the simultaneous reception of an
infective agent in massive doses by
a large group of people. In this in
