farmer, thes manufacturer, the pro-
ducers OF all sections-must enter
equally with the shipping men into the
boosting Of the merchant marine, II we
are to keep 1t going.
1t Is pointed out that between three
and four billions are invested in these
ships, and that under proper conditions
shipping securities should be attrac-
tive investments to the people at large.
whereas now they are rarely thought
of.
As to ways and means of accomplish
ing the desired end, the testimony OF
practical shipOwners has been sought
by the senators. These views have
been placed before the committee IN
the concentrated form Of statement
from the American Steamship Owners
Association, an organization including
virtually all the American firms own
ing seagoing ships, few being large
companies, but the great majority be-
ing small. Members of the association
own ships aggregating $500 600 tons,
and operate 100000 tons more for
the government, a total six times
greater than the country's deep-water
tonnage before the war.
To Charge of High War Costs.
The views of these shipowners,
whose vessels sail from every port in
the country, were presented by the
president of their association, ii. II.
Raymond of New York. Mr.. Raymond
told the senators that as first step to
keeping the flag on the seas, the gov
eminent must charge off the extra war
cost of the new ships, as 1t has charged
off costs on war camps and supplies,
aeroplanes and naval vessels, and sell
them at price that will allow them
to be operated on an investment, tor

HIRAM JOHNSON ON THE
LEAGUE OF NATIONS
(From speech in the Senate. Mon
day, June 2, 1919


In a word, Mr.. President, this
League means that American boys
shall police the world; that all the
tottering nations of the earth shall
be upheld by our blood and our
bone; that Europe, Asia, and Afri-
ca may draw upon us in their ev-
cry dispute and quarrel; that our
Nation will be at the mercy OF
European and J"panese diplomats,
who never had and never will have
any sympathy with our aspirations
or our ideals; that we, with our glo-
ricus past shall guarantee the ter
ritor;al integrity of every country
on earth and the bondage OF ev-
cry suffering pSop!e in anguish beg
ging fer freedom; that we destroy
our Monroe doctrine and submit
controversies on the American HEM
isphere to determination by for
eign powers. 1t means that l must
abandon the lessons of my youth,
which until this moment have been
the creed of my manhood, Of Am
erican ideals, American principles,
and American patriotism; that I
must deny the Americanism l
taught my children, and that I'M
der Gods blessing l hope to teach
my grandchildren. 1t means the
hating and betrayal of new-world
liberalism, the triumph Of cynical
old-world diplomacy, the humilia-
ton and end of American idealism.
Certain partisan gentlemen have
Of late been making the issue par
tisanly. For one, l make the issue
with them. 1t is not one POLITICAL
party or the other. The Issue is
I the Republic; the Republic that
Washington gave us, that Lincoln
saved for us, whose traditions and
ideals have been so gloriously up
held by our valiant sons abroad.
The issue is America. And I am
on American.

the shoes. But NO: II was all true;
for when the meal was over there
was John. mincing his way slowly to
the library door, upon those horrible
heels. Viola waited for him to dis
appear through 1t before she rang for
the maid. Then, even as her hand
found the bell, there came crash
from the library-and silence.
Instantly she realized what had
happened. Also that she must get
there first and get rid Of the ridicu-
lous footwear before the servants ar
rived. If the worst should transpire
there must be no gossip about queer
actions of poor Mr.. Nevins" to so the
rounds. Viola flew-to find her APP
prehensions justified. and John lying
motionless on the library floor.
When DR.. Balrour responded
promptly to Mrs. Nevins' distressed
phone call, the master of the house
was still unconscious. Blood flowed
from a cut on his head. The physi-
clan had the injury dressed in no
time, waved the servants out of the
room and said: "It's a trifling scalp
wound. He is merely Knocked out and
may come to any moment now. What
happened?"
Mrs. Nevins, in mute explanation,
produced from under the davenport,
where she had hurriedly hidden them,
the evidence at once of the cause of
the accident and of her husbands I'M
balanced state.
"Um-m!" remarked DR.. Balfour,
haven't 1 seen you wear shoes much
like these yourself?"
Mrs. Nevins resented the tone Of the
inquiry. 1t seemed to put her on the
defensive. Certainly" she answered;
"but since these are wOmen's shoes.
will yOu-please tell me why shouldn't
wear similar ones? The strange thing
| is a mans wanting to wear them, 1t
| seems to me-"
Because Mrs. Nevins was looking
| straight-and somewhat deffantly-at
| DR.. Balfour she just here missed
something which that worthy gentle
man saw. During his wife's speech
John Nevins had opened his eyes,
| looked at his physiclan-and winked.
| Rather small of Viola to object to
my wearing shoes just like hers, don't
you think, DOCTOR" he interjected sud
| denly from the couch, especially
| when she has taken to wearing socks
precisely like mine? I came a cropper
tonight, but I'll learn how to manage
the cussed things yet-and give the
girls at the wOmen's club something
to laugh about when go by. We can't
let the mems club have all the fun
and free shows, can we. dOctorT
John" cried Viola, half laughing
in her boundless relief that it was all
joke after ALL and not case of in
cipient dementia also with her arms
tight around her husbands neck. 81
had no idea you saw me that day
or would mind it so much. And to
think you might have killed yourself
trying to cure me. Why, John, dear,
| you are more to me than all the fash
ions that ever were invented. And
Tll-I'll go looking like dud here
after if you want me to-"
You couldn't" said John, mot if
YOU tried"
Which tactful remark closed pain
full incident in the happy life of the
Nevinses. And that old wheeze about
history repeating itself, is, so far rs
ii relates to Mrs. Nevins' socks, fiji.

legislation for the disposal and opera
ton of the vast fleet of cargO-carrying
ships that has come out under our flag
as a result of the shipbuilding program
upon which the country entered to
help win the war.
There are now afiOat about loo OF
these ships, all of steel, with carrying
capacity of 100000 tons of wheat,
manufactured goods or other products
of the United States.
When the vessels to be completed
under the building program are in
commission, in the near future. there
will be available for sale total fleet
of about 1,50O vessels, with tOtaf car
rying capacity of 1O,5OO,O00 tons at one
time.
Senators Wrestle With Problem.
Nineteen senator's on the Commerce
Committee are wrestling with the prob
lem of what to do with these ships. In
cluded in the nineteen are five from
Middle Western States-statesmen who
understand the needs both of the pro-
ducers of the great grain and manu-
featuring states, and also the princi-
pies on which ships must be managed
If they are to show profit and keep
the seas in competition with the yes.
sells Of other nations.
These midwest senators are Sher'
man of Illinois, Nelson of Minnesota
Reed of Missouri, Harding Of Ohio and
Lenroot of Wisconsin.
The gravest question before these
senator's is how to get the government
out Of the business Of managing these
ships into which it got during the war
1t is taken for granted by Congress
that the government should now get
out Of the shipping business, just a:
1T is getting out Of the railroad bust
ness, now that peace Is here.
The main business before the sena
aforementioned tonnage Of the vas
new merchant fleet to American bust
ness men, and to pass legislation un
der which the ships can overcome thu
competitiOn Of England and other Eu
ropean nations that are straining ever,
nerve to drive the new American com
merce fleets from the ocean.
"Now Is the Accepted Time"
The view Of the senators on the pro
posal to sell the ships was very wei
expressed the other day by Senate
Knute Nelson OF Minnesota. who at tn
end Of q long session on the subject o
the sale remarked:
TN the language Of holy writ, NOV
is the accepted time'-to sell tn
ships"
The witness then before the commit
tee, shipping man from New Yorl
ECHOED the thought in somewhat NOR
modern language by replying:
"Go to It while the going is good"
1t being agreed in principle that tn
ships shall be sold by the government
the House Of Representatives has a
ready passed favorably on the propos
ton now before the senate by vot
of 24O to 8-the main questions are tn
price at which they shall be sold an
the conditions under which they ca
be operated by their buyers.
Views Of Shipping Men.
The senator's have heard the view
of a wide variety Of witnesses, inclu'
ing bankers, farmers, manufacturers
lawyers, insurance men and other
The substance Of the testimony sui

for ton, approaching that of shipown-
ers under other flags.
The unit of value In a ship is the
lightweight ton ; that Is, ship is worth
so much for every ton 1t will carry.
The average war cost OF the merchant
fleet is believed to be less than 5000 a
ton, but the United States Shipping
Board, which has charge of the vessels,
has been trying to get more than that
for them, with very few sales.
Mr.. Raymond told the senators fair
price was 500 ton, and the differ
ence should be charged off rs part OF
our expense in winning the war and
making the continuance of American
prosperity possible.
Competing With the English.
1t is only by putting some such valu-
alton on the ships that they can be
operated at profit against the Eng
lish merchant marine, the representa-
tive of the shipowners said. TO at
tempt competition on trade routes OF
the world with Englands formida-
bic feet, said Mr.. Raymond, on war
cost basis for American ships, would
prove disastrous To prove his point
the witness submitted figures covering
the charges against capital invested in
two ships of 10000 tons capacity each,
one under the English flag, valued at
500 a ton, the other under the Ameri-
can flag, for sale by the Shipping Board

lish annual charges 100000, American
S2S6,O00; difference in favor of tie
English vessel. $156,000
To Keep Up American Wages.
Wages on an American ship Of the
size noted, said the witness, amount tC
between $4,000 and $4,000 a veal
more than on the British ship. There
is no disposition to scale down Ameri
can wages; but to meet the added
charge the shipowners believe the!
should be allowed to charge off 10 PEI
cent annually as depreciation on thei
ships before paying their income tax
To encourage a continuance Of ship
building in American yards, the ship
owners proposed this plan to the sen
ators: That ships bought from thu
government and kept under the Ameri
can flag in foreign commerce be ex
empted from federal excess prof
taxes, on condition that an amour
equivalent to such exemption be In
vested by the owner Of the ships Il
additional vessels, to be built in Amer
lean yards.
In response to question from
senator IL this was government aid t
shipping, Mr. Raymond made thi
reply:
"Of all our great national industries
American shipowning and shipbuildin
J for overseas commerce have been lef
, without aid and encouragement fror
the government-other industries, a
we all know, having long been protect
ed in some degree by our national tart
