The Gist of the Shipping Question
BY Webster.
sY DR.. a A

~~~~~~ ,coFvHasr tWg ~ uH rHsss en.st'
Il Is about time that we separate The hushd Of .haG from the
grain of wheat There are certain common SENSE facts that uudcrlc
Ih, whole question like mudsil,' few see them, some forget them,
other douy thrm. bUt they lie there just the same.
First. We seem d" have awakened 10 the need of Am American
merchant marine. Mr.. Hurley of the shipping hoard is abroad with
the oyovcd purpose OF getting American ships into all the ports OF
the world. ~ aes AtFAf
Whether We do really want this is q question, and like all similar
questions 1t will be- determined by just one thing We willing 10
pay for ~
We have passed laws increasing the cost Of operating all Ancri.
can ships from ~ To 10 per cent. over what Il costs people of other
nations 10 operate thcp ships.
We passed THESE laws in the interest of labor, that b., lu the inter
~t of humanity.
But the laws Of commerce are iron, and have no regard for human
values len their automatic precision
H. because %. our laws, American ships must charge ss % tom for
freight IN order 10 get enough profit TO induce shipowncrs to stay IN
the business aud If an English ship will carry the same freight for 49,
the English ships Will get all the trade and the American ships viii
go empty and quit.
There are several ways 10 remedy this.
First. We might repeal the Sramrn's law aud the la Toilette law,
and allow American ship owners 10 hire any ScAmcn they please, treat
them rs they please, aud pay them As they please, Then they could
compete with other nations But It is pretty safe to say that we will
not do this Labor has the American nation and the American CON
gres, by the throat, and is not going to let go. See Gompcrs, Furuscth
ct al. And, by the way, il is probably a good thing.
Second. we might induce all the other nations of the earth 10 enact
laws similar To ours This we cnnno tdo' as We have no means OF
cocrcing them.
Third, the only thing left Is to pay a sufficient subsidy 10 ship
pcrs 10 enable them tu meet foreign competition,
And compel thcm To use this subsidy in reducing freight rates,
aud not allow them Co pocket IL.
We passed the shipping laws Ia the interest Of humanity. And now
We have been ,o grand and noble LEI us pay up aud look pleas
ant For we may rest assured that M matter how many ships we buhd,
we are not going "a GEL the merchants of the world 60 send their goods

OF course. you might tax foreign ships entering or ports, but
two can play at that game, and the other nation would straightWay |

Try must pay r subsidy representing the difference in rates or We must |
abandon our maritime ambitions, There is no other way out.

Provision Should Be Made for Cooperation by the State
With Whatever Federal Reclamation Plan Is Adopted

WYE ARE glad TO note the general agreement
w voiced By New Mexico newspapers with
The Herald's suggestion that the present
legislature should make some adequate provision
Tor cooperation with whatever federal reclamation
plan may be determined upon by congress. As the
Herald has pointed ont on a number o. occasions,
the Lane plan of soldier settlement. while Il mny
not be adopted IN ia entirety BY this or the next
congress, will be the BASH from which whatever
piAn may be adopted win be developed.

must be ready 10 cooperate, or We viii be left be-

A GREAT many taxpayers do not understand

available until peace is finally concluded. The
Council OF Defense has used about s2J0.OO0 OF the
fund. and used II wisely. The half million dollars
remaining il available NJ the direction Of the gov
rrnor and the Council of Defense. Governor LARA
colo has recently indicated his intention To use such
part Of the balance as may be required 20 finance
the purchase Of feed for siockmen who cannot make
personal provision. This is h being done by note and

ture at least should make provision that the money

be applied upon the payment Of the certificates; or
diverted 10 some permanent development fund to
be used for increasing tax values. II is not TO be
believed that any one would desire the state TO
continue permanently IN the loan business. On the
other hand, this money must be paid and If no
other means Is available, II viii come out Of the

AMAZING ATTITUDE OF HUNS
Think Everything Forgotten and Hun
dreds of Thousands Plan to
Go to America.

Berlin, Jan. 21.-The mental atti-
tude of the Germans toward peace is
Just as strange as their attitude to-
ward the war. There are now hun
dredS of thousands in Berlin alone
planning to go to England and Amer
lea as soon as the boats resume serv-
ice.
Many seem to 90 as commission
agents to get into direct touch with
firms having raw material for sale to
Germany.
Another naive class assumes that
everything is forgotten. One German
said TO me:
"Send to Paris to get me raincoat
like yours"
The most amazing class is that of
the officers. Almost directly after the
Rhine districts had been occupied by
the Americans, the latter were over
whelmed with requests from former
German officers TO allow them to join
the American army. Then they tried
the japanese, English and French
armies. Their impudent requests were
turned down, of course. One allied
mission got so many requests that it
printed special forms of refusal which
were sent out by the hundreds.
