Daniels Urges Trade
Fleet as War Check

Urging an adequate American trade
fleet as a safeguard against declarations
of war against this country, Secretary
Daniels, writing for tho Bulletin of the
Atlantic Coast Shipbuilders' Association.
says that it Is impossible for the gov-
ernment In peace time to maintain fleet
of transports sufficient to supply war
needs. This. he adds, must como from
an enlargement OF the country's merchant
shipping. so that the United States may
be able to hold rank befitting it's i'm
portance in the diplomatic and COM
mercial affairs OF the world.
Secretary Daniels says that without
the allied merchant marine during the
war the Allies might have been beaten.
The mission OF the German navy was to
sink allied tonnage so that the armies
could not operate for lack of supplies.
Our own armies. no declared, had to be
carried by the merchant marine of our
allies. supplementiug our own small mer-
chant fleet III il had not been for this
assistance" he says, "thc army would
not have gone into action against the
enemy until IL might have been too late. :"
Men for ships Of the navy during time
of war can be trained in no better way
than In a trade fleet," says the secre-
tary 'Tf the United States maintains
AN ample merchant marine, seafaring
men. as a result, will be available and
wo will not De IN the predicament we
were at tho beginning Of the recent war"
Secretary Daniels also says that a
greater merchant marine means grea ter
nrosperity for the country, and the eN-
pansion and development OF our seaports.

1T has been called to my attention" said
Mr.. Nixon yesterday, that the Cummins
bill now pending in the Senate contains
provisions which in my opinion vitally
affect the interests of the State OF New

deprive the regulating commissions of all
the States of the power they now enjoy
to require railroad companies to make
necessary improvements in their prop
erty. The provisions referred to empower

SHOULD these provisions become law the
