ASSERT NON-PARTISAN LEAGUE

farmers of that great agricultural
region were shot full of political
agnosticism. they strayed away from
the republican party and became easy
marks for the shrewd promoters of
the league. The farmers of the north
western states have, up to 1912. been
largely republicans.
"The republican party, as we'll as
the democratic party, have been So
cialized in recent years to such an
extent that it would seem that the
socialists have nothing farther to
fight for; their principles. such as ref.
'erendum, recall. primaries. direct
election Of United States senators,
woman suffrage. ETC., have been grab
bed and served by both ths old
parties.
I'VE have now in the United States
bolshevism with vengeance. but this
menace to ali organized society and
government is masQuerading; under
other names and no doubt there are
many people; fwho are boisehvists in
the ideas that have captured their
Imagination. who do not realize it.

James Martin Miller Of New York.
former United States consul and con-
sui general in Germany, France and.
New Zealand, is q visitor in Wash
ington. Mr.. Miller has recently re-
turned from an extensive trip as far
west as Colorado and Wyoming. in
cluding visits to Nebraska, the Da-
kotas, Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin.
Illinois and Michigan. Asked about
social and political conditions out
there. Mr.. Miller said:
II saw something of the populist.
greenback and grange waves Of the
far west years ago. The politicians
of the east are prone to compare
these with the present Non-partisan
League movement that is now so
strong in about a dozen states out
there. This indicates that they un-
derestimate this great political up
heaval. The Non-partisan League is
nothing more nor less than rural So
cialists. Those who make up the
framework Of the league. its leaders.
like Townley. are socialists. In North
Dakota they kidnapped the republican
party. SO, practically speaking, there
is no republican party any more in
North Dakota. And now it looks as
though they may shove the repub-
Iican party of the boards in South
Dakota. in Minnesota, Wisconsin and
some other states.

w HY cannot private operation and
w government ownership go hand in
hand at least for time to- the
advantage OF private interests and the wei
fare of the people, unless these ships caT
be sold at price fair to the public?
Ships that must be used and are desired
to "fll in" and supplement the needs of
already established lines could be offered
for sale at not less than cost to the high
est bidder, on long time, the rate of inter-
est offered to determine the purchaser,
other things being equal. Bids on the
same>terms for ships to be used as tramps
or to establish new lines to already de-
veloped markets could be called for.
1t will be said that no sales could be
made on such terms because of the high
cost of building. That may be true. l
know that our ships have cost more than
in normal times, and it may be that they
have cost more than they should have cost
even under war conditions. The demand
for ships, however, will be abnormal for
some time to come. The worlds shortage
now is over sixteen million tons. Water
than ever before. If not burdened by too
many restrictions, those needing ships and
desiring to operate them can afford to pay
and will pay more than normal prices for
them or for their use. If the cost is spread
lover twenty-five or thirty years, not only
may they be able to pay the cost of the
ships in full, but also greater or less rate
of interest thereon.
There will be little complaint, how
ever, by the people if they get their money
back, even without interest. The govern
ment has built irrigation works, the cost
to be repaid without interest. Why not do
the same thing with ships, If necessary, TO
Induce private capital to acquire and oper-
sate them? a ~.
- HIPS that cannot be sold In this way
may be offered for lease or charter
upon such terms and conditions as
may be deemed wise by the shipping board.
1t has been suggested BY in experienced
shipping man that governmentowneds ships
might be put in private hands under.
agovernment-form time charter" under
which the government would furnish the
ship at the "going" charter rates and
along with the ship the government would
furnish, pay and feed the crew.
In this way, it is suggested, the gov
ernment would also secure hrst-hand in
formation as to the disadvantages under
which American ships labor in competi-
ton with foreign ships; it could keep
constantly and thoroughly posted as to
the foreign cost of building ships of the
size, type, speed and SO forth we build,
so that comparisons as to cost would be
exact, or as nearly so as possible. The
government should constantly keep ac-
quiring facts as to the pay of masters,
officers and crews of ships under different
foreign flags so as to be able to make
fair comparisons as to similar costs on
our ships, and it should also get informa-
tion as to the number of men employed
on our ships as compared with the num-
Der employed on foreign ships
In this way the government would
need no information from private and
selfish sources as to these differences
it would have them at first hand-and

is also doubtless true. These ships belong
to the people If they are to lose money
on them, they will, in my judgment, prefer
to lose it in operating the ships themselves
rather than to sell them at loss AMI see
private capital enrich itself by their opera
ton
Evening star., 1919-03-30

CHIPS not sold or chartered should be
y used by the government in estab- .
fishing new lines and developing new
markets There are many virgin fields
that be opened up only by govern
ment or government aided ships. If regu
lar and frequent sailings are assured
business will come. financial arrangements
will be made. business credit will be es-
tablished and business agencies to meet
the market needs will be created The
government can we'll afford to do this,
even if it is done for time at loss.
~ With markets developed, the ships
can be sold at a good price to the people
and operated by private enterprise. The
German trade in South America was large
We ought to be able to get most of it.
We can do so if we will make sure ample
transportation facilities, and this should
be done without delay -
Our great transcontinental rail lines
gather our products at terminal points
to be shipped to all parts of the world
They should be made to connect directly
with American shipping lines, and could
we'll be supplemented by ships bought or
leased by them, and this should be en-
couraged.
The officers and crews of American
ships should be created into naval re-
serve, so that if the ships are ever taken
over by the government, their efficient
operation will be uninterrupted. This will
require extra pay, but it is only part
of that necessary preparedness that we
must make.
A S part of permanent shipping
~ policy I firmly believe in the sys-
tenn of discriminating duties under
which imports in foreign-built ships should
pay higher duty than those carried in
coming in free should pay a small duty
if carried in foreign built ships. This
wesld addsta the revenues insure return
csrgoes td ouf shipH aiid, with proper
port privileges would build up and main
tain an American merchant marine under
private management and ultimately under
private ownership.
This policy has had the Endorsement
in effect of both political parties. The
republicans declared specifically for it in
their platform of 1896. It was unanimously
indorsed by the merchant marine commit
tee of the democratic, House of repre-
sentatives. and was adopted in principle
in the Underwood Simmons tariff act.
Immediately upon. the conxening of Con-
gress shall introduce bii1 to abrogate
all the treaties that may be in the way
of adopting such policy in the manner
provided by such treaties.
MO more important questions confront
IN Congress- than working out perma-
nent policies toward the merchant :
marine and the railroads. The sooner
these policies are determined the better
AS soon as Congress meets the Senate
committee on commerce should get the
opinions of representatives of the ship
ping interests, representative of labor,
representatives of farmers, representatives
of business and the views Of government
experts as to what steps should be taken
to solve this question, and when this is
done the committee should determine upon
the policy it deems wise, and present bill
to carry it out and ask for its immediate
consideration.

THE problem of getting the ships is
solved for the time being How can
they be operated SO as to return to
the people the greatest part of the money
they have invested and at the same time
keep ship production and efficient service
up with the demands and needs cf grow
ing commerce.? This is the problem to be
met now. Party platform platitudes won't
do it. Maneuvering for party advantage in
the next campaign will not do it. Let us
forget our party and try to meet this ques-
ton in practical and patriotic way.
Some will at once say "Let the gov
ernment run its own ships" Against this
it will be urged that government opera
ton will be far more expensive and much
less efficient than private operation. This,
/ believe to be true. "But," it will be said,
~they cannot be operated privately on the
basis of their cost, because they have been
wastefully and extravagantly built" This

A adequate merchant marine is an
~ imperative need of the United
~ States. not only as part of our
4 4 commerce and transportation sys-
TENS but also as a part of our
national preparedness. No more pressing
question is before us than the adoption of
suitable legislation to secure such mer-
chant marine.
The farmers. workers and business
men of the interior of the country are in
greater need of shipping than those on the
seashore Their products largely make up
the surplus that must find a market abroad.
If there are no American ships to carry
this surplus, it must wait the pleasure of
foreigners and may be wasted or the price
of such products greatly depressed all over
the country. Our people must awake to
these facts and instead of opposing steps
radical or unusual if need be-to promote
the development and operation of an
American marine, they should insist upon
the necessary things being done at once.

u
w lacking in those things essential
to our national safety as we were
at the outbreak of this war. Our armies
and supplies had to be taken across the sea
in foreign ships Our boys must be brought
home in foreign ships. Our commerce
must be carried by our competitors or not
handled at all. These are facts that should
be burned into the minds of our people
until they demand prompt and effective
action.
When this war began we had but few
ships Two principal reasons for this were
given-our higher cost of production and
higher cost of operation. Experienced men
estimated that, by the expenditure of flve

government took over ali private ships,
all ships under contract in American yards,

is carried out, we will have by January l,

built ships and several splendidly equipped
yards, with about three billions of dollars
