NEW U.S.-bELG|UM
SHIP LINE STARTED

A new steamship line from the
United States to Ghent, Belgium. has
been established by the Lloyd Royal
Beige. the largest Belgian m srchsnt
steamship company, according 10 ad-
vices received by the Department OF
Commerce from Charles Roy Mas
NTH, American consul at Client.
The steamship company mas al
ready made arrangements for BIZ
monthly ssilings from Galveston. Tex,
and New Orleans, La. TO Ghent. The
first steamer. the Canadier. arrived
in Ghent a few weeks ago with a
cargo OF cotton.
Steamers which will be in the serv-
ice in addition to the Canadicr. which
carries 1000 tons. include the Bra
zilier, $1,000 tons; Burgondier. 800
tons: Indier, s,130 tons: Menapier,
$3.50 tons: Olympier, s,4o0 tons: Pat
agonier, $3.50 tons: Andalusier, IL 900
tons. and Danier, 1000 tons.

j. s. TOURISTS TO
STORM EUROPE
Indications That All Previous
Travel Records will Be
Broken in 1921.

This will be the banner year for
voyagers to Europe. according to
opinions expressed here today by
various representatives OF steamship
lines, and officials OF the State De-
partment In charge of issuing pass
ports to travellers going abroad.
The present business depression
has had no effect on the tourist side
of steamship activities. A great
number of people are going abroad
simply because business in the
United states is not as active as
usual which gives many business
men the first opportunity in years
to get away on little vacation.
HEAVY DEMAND FOR PASSAGE.
As result. all travelling records
are In fair way to be broken. AL
ready the demand for accommodations
is making itself felt, despite the
fact that there are more ships this
year than were available during the
great rush of last spring and sum-
mer pol
After six months conditioning the
Red Star Line steamer Manitou be-
fore the war regular trader be-
tween Philadelphia and Antwerp will be
put on the Hamburg, Libau and
Danzig service from Philadelphia.
The vessel has been renamed Poland
May 25. The Poland Is of type
similar to the Haverford and is
equipped to carry thjrd-class pas
sengers only.
The "Mauretania," which arrived In
New York on April ., after a six
months overhauling and recondition-
ing, is another ocean giant that is al
ways in great demand. She is still the
queen of the seas in regard to speed
and 1t is an open question IL a more
beautiful ship has ever been built. She
is generally known as the garden
ship" because of the thousands of
plants that bloom in all parts of he-
commodious public rooms.
RADIO INSTRUCTIONS ISSUED.
The Shipping Board has issued in
structions to- its operators calling at
tention to the arrangements perfected
by most OF the high power radio sta
tions throughout the world to broad
cast storm warnings and asking them
to assist in notifying craft which are
not equipped with the proper aprara
tus.
in view of the fact that there are
a large number Of vessels stiIl cruis-
ing along the coast and sea not equip
ped with radio" says the Shipping
Board order. you are directed in the
future, when in the vicinity of any
such vessel, regardless OF its type, to
signal TO 1t by international code or
any other means available any storm
warnings you may have picked up by
radio in the past twelve hours. in
order that all possible steps may b.
taken by them to protect life and
property. irrespective of the nation.

NEW STEAMER LINE,
CALF. TO MEXICO
American Consul at SaIina Cruz
Reports Plan Of British to
Put on Six Vessels.

A new British steamship line be-
tween Salina Cruz, Mexico, and Los
Angeles. Cal, is expected to be estab-
lished in the near future, according to
advices received here from the Ame--
lean consul at Salina Cruz.
1t is understood the new line will
be known as the Irvine Line" and
will be affiliated with the British
steamship line known as the Clan
Line, possibly also with the Houston
Line of Liverpool
Six vessels are now being built in
England for the proposed line. They
will be about 275 feet in length and
will carry from l 900 TO ! 800 tons OF
freight, with accommodations for
fifty first class passengers as well as
steerage passengers.

Doat inspection Service affecting the
employment of seamen from the De-
partment of Commerce to the De-
partment of Labor. Senator Jones
and also Senator Poindexter have in
-troduced bill in the Senate to ex-
cmpt American vessels from Panama
Canal tolls. Similar bills were intro
duced in the House by Congressmen
Edmonds and Denison. Senator Jones
is also expected to again introduce .
bill to require all foreign vessels en-
tering or clearing American ports to
have permits from the Shipping
Board. A number of bills limiting
immigration have been introduced,
but these will undoubtedly meet Wig
orous opposition from the steamship
companies.
No general revision OF. the mer-
chant marine act is expected at this
session.
The Washington times., 1921-04-18

II can see the American merchant
marine dying by inches. The time for
high-sounding phrases, sweet whis-
perings and sentimental piffle has
passed. The day has dawned when
American shipowners must lay their
cards on the table and talk turkey.
The American merchant marine is
headed for hell,
OWNERS LACK COOPERATION.
The blaokest cloud in this mer-
chant marine mess is that there is no
concert of action by American ship
owners. Talk with ten OF them as
to what is needed. Listen carefully.
Nine OF them will most beautifully
rehearse to you plan which will
advance and protect the interests of
their own companies. Some will say
subsidy. Others discriminating du-
ties. Others international agree
ments. And n few others will pour
into your ears that rot and pitfle
about doing nothing whatever to
countersct the handicap caused by
the difference between American and
foreign construction, wage, operating
and maintenance costs.
"The American merchant marine is
sick. very sick. Foreign nations are
preparing to walk off with our carry
America stands by and let's them get
away with II, there will be a blot
upon the moral courage of Aperican
shipowners which time may never
erase. Unless American shipowners
arouse from their slumbor and, by a
well-directed and united unselfish ef-
fort. make a determined stand for an
American merchant. marine. the
struggle and price which must be paid
eventually will be passed on to the
generations to come, and they will
curse the memory of us.
WILSON KILLED JONES ACT.
It will require less struggle now to
establish an American merchant ma
rine than ever again.
The Jones act is the best piece of
legislation ever passed in behalf Of
American shipping. But IL was emas-
culated by Woodrow Wilson, the
author OF fourteen points, peace with
out victory and too proud to fight"
President Wilson. the architect of the
sweet peace now enjoyed throughout
the universe, signed the Jones bill
and then refused to operate IL. On
reflection he decided not to notify for.
eign nations of the termination Of
commercial treaties because it might
offend our dear neighbors across the
sea America must never offend. She
must pussyfoot, apologize, blackslide,
smirk and grin on foreign invasion,
and write notes by the carload in her
own defense.
The Jones act, in its entirety, should
be revived and made effective at the
first possible moment. A year must
pass before its full beneft will be
felt why not apply subsidy at
once as a bridge of relief TO the full
operation OF the Jones act7

Congress stands to a squarely behind President
Harding policy for the development of bigger and

effort to fill the needs of the United States with regard to
larger merchant marine.

Plant Diseases Costly.

Millions of bushels of grain, fruit and vegetables and big tonnage Of cotton were lost to American farmers last year by plant diseases, according to figures compiled by the plant dis ease survey of the Department of Ag- riculture. The survey said that the statistics indicate that lack of prompt application of known measures of con- trol was largely the cause of the loss.
