ries for q denomination for o third
term in the United States Senate, where
ne Is the head Of the Committee on
Commerce, dealing directly with all
problem Of the development Of our
merchant marine. IL is manifestYy the
belief Of the foreign interests that are
assailing Senator Jones in his own
state that If he can be defeated q great
blow will be dealt to the prospects Of
further development Of American ship
ping in overseas trade"
First Attack by Japanese
Pointing out that the first attack on
Senator Jones appeared in a magazine
published by g Japanese steamship
company, the paper says that "it is
stated that at the meetings Of COM
mercial bodies called in Pacific Coast
ports to denounce the act the attend
ance has been almost entirely of those
affiliated with Japanese and British
shipping on the Pacific Ocean and that
the distinctively American business
men Of these Pacific ports apparently
have been entirely unaware Of what
was intended"
I'm few instances" IL is added, "the
foreign companies have, however, Sc
cured the support Of local port officials,
who defend their championing of for
c,iS" Ah1 ASS1S oh Iilc plea lHaL under
the merchant marine act foreign ships
would be driven out of our ports.
though this could hardly be done until
american ships were substituted for
them"
Full page advertisements attacking
Senator Jones and the bill are stated
TO have appeared as coming from the
Northwest Industrial Educational
Bureau"
Government Investigating
"Not only is the campaign against
Senator Jones receiving the considera-
tion Of the Shipping Board" says The
Marine jour- nj, "but it is also enlist
ing the interest of the Federal Depart
ment OF Justice, whose agents will pre-
sumably soon be in position to make
report that will enlighten and aston
ish the whole country as to the con-
tinuance of vicious, meddlesome, alien
propaganda in vital American affairs.
"It is not unlikely that the subject
will furthermore be investigated in a
drastic way by special Congress ssional
committee at the forthcoming session
of Congress, and that all those who
have been active in the matter will be
summoned to face sharp ques estaoning
before representatives of the A0Be rican
people at Washington.
UNLESS the attack upon Senator
Jones and the merchant marine act is
straightway abandoned a demand will
undoubtedly be made by American in
terests that such gross interference
with American law and policy be made
the theme OF outspoken diplomatic
representations by our government to
Toxic and London"

Corporation to Aid Industry
one OF the mediums through which
british overseas trade Is destined To
expand, the report says, is the British
Trade Corporation. Incorporated In
~ d9aI @ with an authorized capital Of s10,-
ooo,ooo. Although designed to assist
tne small exporter, the policies of this
Lnammoth corporation have been made
freely available to the largest manufac-
turers of the empire, and it ia onlv one
of the numerous agencies at present
1acilltatlng the expansion Of trade.
through coordination with financial
institutions, formed largely under it's
influence, the British Trade Corpora
ton established a financial fabric that
extends its sphere of influence to everv
corner of the world. Among these arc
the South Russia Banking Agency,
the Anglo-Brazilian Commercial and
Agency Company and the Levant Com
pany, through which it's hold on the
commerce of the Near East is to be
established: 1t also has obtained the
entire capital stock Of the National
Bank Of Turkey.
Agency to Supply Credit
Another enterprise recently pro-
moted in London to acquire for Great
Britain trade with the Austro- -Hunga
rian succession states is the Anglo
Danubian Association. Through this
agency it is proposed to supply on
credit raw materials to the war-torn
area adjacent to Hungary, the finished
products to be reexported to markets
where they will be paid for either in
goods or money. During the period of
manufacture the materials are to re-
main the property Of those who send
them.
In addition to the elaborate CONNER
cial undertakings through which the
trade interests Of the empire will be
cared for, an intelligence bureau is
maintained to provide up-to-date and
reliable information concerning con-
ditions in foreign countries where
trade may be sought. This bureau is
being fostered through the British
Overseas Bank, an institution formed
by several English banks in March,
1919, to develope overseas trade along
specialized lines.

and this would mean $500 to $4,000
additional wages monthly, without tax
Ing into account the additional food
and accommodation. The Mauretania
would require 260 extra men, and the
Caronia from $50 to 200. For the Baltic
and Adriatic, 1t Is figured, the extra
wages would run to &2,7lO per month,
extra food to 81 1,289 and loss of third
class passenger accommodations to s7,-
800, or total of 1899. Thfs, it is
stated. would necessitate an increase Of
s6 las in the first class fare from
Liverpool to New York. of e3 in the
second class, and of 81 las in the third
class.
In view OF the prevailing discussion
of the high costs Of operation in con-
nection with American ships 1t is in
teresting to note that British shipping
men are disturbed over the growth in
the running expenses Of British ships
This was emphasized in the course of
speeches delivered at the celebration
attendant ON the recent launching Of
the Empress of Canada for the Cana
dian Pacific ocean services.
For a practically similar liner built
before the war, it was pointed out. the
cost Of building was about $3.50 900,
The Empress of Canada will cost about
S1,770,0oO- But this is only the begin
ming. Ships must come in periodically
for survey, overhaul and repairs, With
large passenger liners some work of
this kind has to be done at the end of
every round voyage, at least. Such
operations before the war cost about
91,700 voyage in the case of the
larger types Of Canadian Pacific liners.
me present cost, however, is s7,7oo,
alone al dn. means that the liners must earn
$4,000 more a'voyage than they did be-
fore the war simply to pay for keeping
them in regular seagoing order.
But the increase in costs Is making
itself 1elt all along the line. How this
works out in the case Of the Canadian
Pacific vessels may be shown bv the
following table, showing costs a voyage
for various items before the war and
now:
Goa, Prs,yas. gar Present: Increase
General expenses.11'soo 1855 1855 ssos%: sso%
1t is stated that, allowing for in.
creased cost Of insurance and deprecia-
tion and for f5,O54 per voyage lost as
a resu}@ Of transferring to the crew
spaces about 266 berths, one Canadian
Pacific liner will cost about EGO OOC
more to run per round voyage than be-
fore the war.
1t is speed, however, that is declared
TO be the most costly single item in
ship operation. BY reducing the rate
of one liner from eighteen knots to
sixteen knots recently, it is reported
the fuel bill was cut in half. BY sub
stltuting oil for coal it could be
halved again, Sir Thomas Fisher says
and by the use Of oil engines a re.
turn could be made almost to the pre-
war economic position. Sir Thomas
predicted that within FIVE years large
liners would be driven by internal com
bustion engines
