Ter, national commander of the

"a bonus sounds too much like Il
gift or present from the govern
ment,' DOlier continued.
Four plans from which the ser
vice could collect were outlined by
him.
Like the treaty of Versailles, uni
yersal training, red" legislation
and similar measures, the PROPOSE

vice men will be carried into the
campaign.
This opinion was expressed by
congressman here today as hear

fit law began before Representative

committee.

which the league wants in the way
of legislation. 1t wants every
sailor in the merchant marine
bound by an oath to serve his coun-
try, and incidentally his employer,
so that he cannot quit whenever
he gets ready. It wants a mer
chant mariners insurance act to
take some of the. risk out of ship
ping for the ship owner. 1t wants
nautical training schools estab-
lished all over the country to train
ship labor. 1t objects to some
features of the LaFollette act. not
ably the provision which makes it
necessary for man to 60 to sea
three years before he can obtain
able seaman's papers. 1t thinks
nine months is long enough. 1t
also wants that part of the La Fol-
lette act repealed which provides
that a seaman can draw five per
cent on reaching a port. This. they
say, is necessary to keep the sail
ors from going ashore and getting
drunk. 1t wants seamen in the
merchant marine to be compelled
to wear a uniform. This is to slim
ulate pride in their calling and TO
make them easy to recognize.

chant marine as a national enter
prise nationally owned. No one
seems to deny that the Emergency
Fleet corporation has done we'll. 1t
has attracted the interest of the
public to shipping matters when
private capital has long failed to
do so. Yet this solution of the
problem does not seem even to be
considered in high places. Just at
present a wave Of opposition to
government of anything is sweep
ing over the country. A great pro-
paganda has been set on foot for
the return of everything to private
hands. These ships of course were
never in private hands. They we're
created by the nation with the peo-
pies money. None the less, they
too seem certain to go into private
hands, and at good deal less than
cost.
The general sentiment seems to
be that this is the correct thing to
do. True, some can be found who
do not think it is the correct thing
to do. but it appeares to be the
thing that is going to happen. In
congress there appears to be no
strong sentiment for continuing
public ownership of the merchant
shipping. ~
1t should be explained that the
shipping board was created as a
sort Of supervisory body to regu-
late marine shipping much as the
interstate commerce commission
regulates the railroads. This ship
ping board was given powers to
build and operate ships in case an
emergency made such action neces-
sary. The war was such an emery
ency. The Emergency Fleet cor
poratiop was therefore created, as
a child of the shipping board, to
build and operate a feet OF ships.
Its charter provided that it should
terminate its activities five years
after peace, unless congress de-
creed otherwise. AS far as can be
gathered congress seems inclined
to terminate its activities sooner.
If this must happen. then the
Merchant Marine league, in start
ing a campaign to awaken interest
in merchant marine, must be do
ing the right thing. The more in
terest is awakened, the more chance
that our fleet will survive and con-
tinue to function. And very strong
arguments are made why it should
continue to function.
In the first place, many Of our
old Export markets have been de-
stroyed or rendered inaccessible to
US, and we must develop new ones.
The advantages Of having our own
shipping wherewith to do this are
obvious. In the second place, it is
argued. Europe is soon going to
begin dumping upon US enormous
quantities of manufactured goods
in order to pay US what she owes
US and is unable to pay in money.
We must have shipping facilities
wherewith to move these goods
again, to sell them in South Amer
lea, Africa. anywhere. Unless We
can do this our markets will be
glutted, it is argued, and our own
shops and factories closed. OBJ
viously, to depend upon these-same
