war. America had convinced herself
she could keep out OF war. In the
national election Of 1916, no party
stood for war, no candidate COM
mitted himself to the position that we
ought to go to war. And SO. although
In 1917 Americans knew they were
justified in making war, and practi-
cally every American convinced him
self that we ought to be at war, as
we were, just the same there was this
underlying psychology of the year
before and just as soon as the war
was over, it re-asserted itself, even
though no one gave it utterance.t
The war, as far as America is con-
cerned, was fought for an ideal, but
even though man achieves an ideal,
1t is hard for him to realize it.
France knew she had won the war,
because the Germans were driven
from her soil and she put in a claim
for a large indemnity. England
knew she had won the war because
her ships again sailed the seas and
brought the sorely-needed food and
; supplies to save her people. But
America had no material symbol that
she had won anything. War prices,
war taxes, war restrictions still pro-
vailed and 1t was chiefly by those that
the great bulk OF Americans realized
the war. ~ !,
Comparatively few were touched
by the actual CRIME and sweat and
blood of the mighty struggle so that
when Americans looked for release
from something. or for a reward for
something, behold, there was none!
All the more glory to America,

right, but no man is so constituted
that he can live In a state of high ex.
.altation for long time. America
blazed with an idealism during the
war. As soon as the war was over

All OF these facts are, to a certain
extent. a background for what led up
to the enactment of the Jones shipping
bill, which the President has refused to
administer. Before 1t became law the
Shipping Board undertook to sell the
war built tonnage to private operators.
However. the world tonnage situation
was most uncertain. and foreign inter-
ests invoked every device to complicate
the boards selling programme.
American ship operators. Influenced
by prevailing uncertainty, hesitated to
invest money in American built tonnage
They wanted explicit assurances that
the Government would stand behind
them in future years and enable them
to meet the competition of European
subsidies, adverse marine insurance
rates, and the other competitive devices
which an experienced foreign shipping

to this need, enacted the Jones bill. 1t
was not a perfect piece OF legislation.
No such claim was made for It; yet 1t
went a long way toward putting Amcri-
can Shipping on its feet and giving the
assurances our ocean operators de-
manded before they invested their CAPT.
tai in American ships.
The men who drafted the new mer-
chant marine legislation were not so So
licitous for Europe as they were for
America. The Jones bill Is an Amer
lea first" law. 1t empowered the Ship
ping Board to grant certain preferences
to American ocean carriers. In many
respects 1t was in the nature of sal
wage scheme TO rescue the American
merchant marine from the losses occa-
stoned by mismanagement, fortunes of
war and other factors which those who
advocated It saw were necessary.
To supplement it the Esch-Cummins
railroad law gave enlarged powers to
the Interstate Commerce Commission to
give preferential rates on long haul ex-
port shipments to be carried In American
bottoms All these provisions aroused
immediate and intense opposition on the
rart of European governments engaged
IN the shipping business. These coun-
tries which have practised subsidieg

vices to aid their own shipping. COM

Foreign propagandists operating both
here and abroad mobiized every avail
able force to defeat the preferential
features of the shipping and railroad
legislation. limitations of diplomatic
ruptures and yelled suggestions of more
grave international complications were
brought into play.
