new in the fact that the campaign
has been launched, but the attitude
Of newspapers hitherto Indifferent

Gently is Of considerable interest.
This attitude is expressed in edi-

"And so now it's to be tobaccon'
exclaims "The Philadelphia Public
Ledger" which paper gives in to
the uplift forces as follows:
"Those who complained that prohibi

paign Of the various anti-liquor or
CARNATIONS had been open and above
board for a generation or more, can
have no such excuse if the movement

OF many months ago spec
~ ulation was rife as to the
- part the United States was
to play in world shipping.
Regardless of the fact that 1880, 900
dead weight tons Of bottoms had
come into possession of this govern
nent through construction and req
usition during the war and after
the signing of the armistice last No.
vember, there existed much doubt,
even in shipping circles, that there
was any permanency in the nations
greatly expanded commerce incident
TO the war.
That we have a shipping board is
quite we'll known, and that it is q
very important adjunct of the coun-
try's commercial life is likewise real
ICED. But there are few outside
the personnel of the great transport
tation companies who realize fully
that the wartime hope of America
for a great merchant marine has
actually become a fact!
From commerce carried on be-
fore the war almost solely through
foreign vessels to the establishment
cf sixty-two lines, spreading like a
.isherman's net over the face Of the
earth, and the operation on these in
tcrnational lanes of 829 ships-this
is the record breaking trade achieve
nent of the country's business vigor.
The American merchant marine
is as completely unit as is the
United States Navy itself. 1t re-
cruits it's seanen and trains and
places it's officers quite as does the
navy. 1t even has social service
bureau, headed by Alice S. Howard,
the original purpose Of which was to
engage in welfare work among mer-
chant marine apprentices at stations
and on ships established by the
United States Shipping Board Re-
crulting Service.
Within eighteen months, however.
from the time the social service bu-
reau was established, to the present
time, the purpose and work of the
organization has become something
like that of the army and navy's big
auxiliary, the Red Cross. 1t reaches
out to foreign ports OF the one hand
and to tho homes Of Americas mer-
chant mariners on the other. It's
aid is not confined to men of any
particular rating. 1t extends to all
