who are agitating for a lower wage
scale of American ships. We are pay
ing our seamen $500 month. Eng
land during the war paid her seamen
$1,000 a month. The French and
Sweden the seamen's scale is even
higher than in the United States"
The retention of high wages was
important, he added, because men who
had laborded under great strain yield
ed their attention more readily to the
agitator. The success of any nation in
shipbuilding and ship operating, he
said, will be determined by the manner
in which the labor situation is ham

under construction. 1t was sought to
convey the impression that our new
ships would suffer by comparison with
those laid down by our friends and as
sociates overseas.
1T may surprise these critics to
hear, as l have heard, that British
yards had under construction on Oct
31,O66 ships of 5000 gross tons and
over. Our program for that date cal
led for 106 ships of 900 0gross tons
or over"
Mr., Hurley said three factors mill
tated most strongly against the nat
ural and desirable expansion of the
foreign trade of the United States:
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1919-03-23

amounting to 112,24S gross tons are
not included.
To-day we are potentially the great
est maritime power of the earth, for
the reason that we possess the great
est shipbn1lding Observation-Disclosures -
Mr. Hurley stated that Great Britain
suffered a net loss in the war of 8 ,440,-
600 gross tons, amounting to IS per
cent of her entire tonnage Other
nations which suffered heavy losses
include Norway, which lost 1,178,325
gross tons; France, 907, 1853 gross
tons; Italy, S52,12 gross tons; Greece,
337 ,545 gross tons; Denmark, 239 1922
gross tons andSweden, 201,7 gross
tons.
Every effort is being made by each
of these nations, Mr.. Hurley asserted,
to regain their former maritime stand
ing. lt
THE study of the Shipping Board
experts revealed a teeming ambition
among other powers to achieve a
higher maritime standing" said the
report" In almost every country the
desire exists not only to replace war
losses but to add new totals to be used
in the work of reconstruction and in
developing new foreign trade.
Even Switzerland has not escaped
this desire to acquire a merchant
marine. Ships will be acquired as
soon as canal improvements are made
on the Rhine"
The chief interest now centers on
the question of whether the United
States can henceforth maintain her
new place upon the seas, or whether
she must now disband the energies
that brought her merchant fleet into
being.
There is every reason" Mr.. Hurley
continued, for believing that Ameri-
ca has come back upon the ocean-to
stay. My observations compel opti-
miSm.
THE war has brought us into high
place as a maritime power | find
the peoples of the world aroused to
an intenser interest and concern as
to the use we are to make of this
power.
I'm America, you have heard of Brit
ish competition In Great Britain I
heard a great deal more about Ameri-
can competition. The truth is that
our friends across the water are for
the first time entering upon a period
of actual competition In our praise
of British seamanship and British
operating ability, we have been prone
to ignore the advantages which lay on
the side of the ships which flew Union
Jack.
Il have no misgivings about the era
of competition which is coming THE
obstacles of inexperience will quickly
give way before American industrial
strength and energy 1t is new age

First, the necessity for developing men,
thoroughly American in every way,
to handle foreign trade; second, the
recruiting of an American personnel
for the operation of the ships and the
handling of the work at ports; and,
third, the extension of banking facili-
ties.
The idea that too high wages are
being paid American seamen for this
country to compete with other coun-
tries successfully was ridiculed by
Mr. Hurley
1T is time for the public mind to
be disabused of this conception" he
stated. THE facts will dismay those

public policy. 1t is an age of promise
for those who would participate in
Americas high destiny upon the seas, !"
Mr.. Hurley said prior to August,
1914, both the foreign trade and the
shipping of the United States were
dominated to a great extent by British
because American traders and ship
operators who wished to do business
could do so conveniently through Brit
ish agencies. In 1915, he recalled, on
! ly one-seventh of the foreign trade of
the United States was carried in
American bottoms
THE total exports and imports of
the United States for the year 1915
were approximately 50,OOO,OO0 long
tons" said the report. with average
shipping efficiency the movement of
these goods would have required about
100000 gross tons of ships
Assuming an annual increase in
/ the foreign trade of the United States
equal to the average increase for the
five years preceding August, 1914,
our foreign trade in 1920 would re-
quire a greatly increased merchant
tonnage if it were to be carried in
American bottoms"
Mr.. Hurley declared it was an ac-
Cepted principle that strong maritime
power should carry in it's own ships
at least 80 per cent. of the aggregate
of its exports and imports and in addi-
ton some of the trade between coun-
tries not yet in the shipping business.
Assuming a total export and import
business in 1920 of 70,000,000 long
TONS" he added, sit would require a
fleet of about 100000 gross tons to
transport so per cent. in our own
ships"
One of the types of ships most de-
sirable for the new merchant marine.
according to Mr.. Hurley, is a speedy,
effective combination cargo and pas
senger liner of from $4,000 to $4,000
lightweight tons which could be opera
ted efficiently in the transportation of
high class merchandise, passengers
and mail.
shipping men generally agree" he
said, that it is not the total tonnage
but the character of the vessels that
makes a successful fleet The coun-
try might have 100000 tons of ship
ping which if not of the right sort
could not be operated profitably in
competition with ships of a better
type belonging to another nation.
Il have heard a great deal of talk
about the construction of junk ships
in America, emphasis thus being laid
on the number of small ships we had
