Benson Says Americans Must
Cooperate for Merchant Marine

From The Tribune's Washington Bwreou
WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-The peo-
pie Of the United States must work
together if there is to be q permanent
American merchant marine, Admiral
w. s. Benson, chairman Of the United
States Shipping Board, declared to-
day in message to New Orleans
shipping men.
Admiral Benson's message was In re-
ply to telegram received from COM
mittee Of the New Orleans Association
OF Commerce, which to-day presented
tablet to the S. S. New Orleans, COM
mlssioned to-day at New Orleans. The
ship will be operated by the Steele

The chairman telegraphed as fellows:
The eyes of the world are upon us
as we show from day to day that we
mean to have permanent merchant
marine worthy of the name and we
all must stand together to encourage
the. development. The Shipping Board
is etermined to support every logical

.Japan's Costs of
Production Ne?yIy
On American Level
Will Strengthen Competition
by u. S. in Foreign Trade;
Japanese Seek Remedies
in Form of Cheaper Labor

Because Of the effect upon Japanese
manufacturing Of the DEVELOPMENT
Of economic conditions in Japan, it
has now become question as to
whether production costs can be kept
lower than in the United States. In
view Of the important bearing of the
situation on the maintenance of their
foreign commerce, the Japanese are
seeking remedies in the form of
cheapened labor costs.
Reports to the Department of Com.
merce state that the increased cost of
raw materials and labor, the inef-
fciency of labor, and the reduced pro-
duction occasioned by the proposed
shortened hours have all combined to
bring about position that will make
the effect of American competition
more keenly felt, especially in the
fields where Japan had gained ground
during the war.
TO meet the situation Japanese cot
ton mills are importing Corean labor
ers and it is expected that the Japan
ese will establish cotton mills in Man
OHuiid, NOleA ana CAlna, IN order to
secure labor which will accept lower
wages than those paid in Japan
While Japanese labor works for much
less than is paid in America the output
per man is markedly less. This is es-
p'ecially' noticeable in lines where
strength is a requisite as we'll as dex-
terity. In iron and steel production
aud shipbuildng, for instance. the
force required to perform q given
amount of work is much larger in
japan than in this country.
Many indications of the general
business depression in Japan are given
IN adv'ces received from Toxic by the
Far Eastern Division of the United
States Bureau of Foreign and Domestic
Commerce.
Postal savings deposits decreased 15.-
100000 yen in the month of August. de-
spite efforts made III all parts of the
country to encourage them. The Moi
section Of the railroad department de-
cided to discharge 1000 employees, be-
cause of the greatly reduced freight
traffic. At the end of August there
were eighty ships idle and the num-
Der was steadily increasing. Sales of
automobiles in Toxic have fallen to n
nth of the former figure. Wares in
Kobe and Osaka decreased by Is per
cent in August, and one large depart
ment store discharged 800 EMPLOYEES
