URGES MAINTENANCE OF
U. S. MERCHANT MARINE

Washington. April 5. Especial
correspondence)-T h e extent TO
which the United States should I'M
dertake to develop its merchant ma
rine when operating at a loss is a
question presented by a report of the
shipping board compiled by Commits
sioner J. N. Teal, one of the retiring
members. Mr.. Teal shows. among
other things, that the total ship ton
mage of the world far exceeds the
needs Of commerce. Eighteen per
cent of the steel ships owned by the
shipping board are tied up for want
of business and many ships owned by
private concerns are likewise idle.
Merchant vessels of other nations are
unable to find sufficient commerce to
keep them busy. This may be a tenn
porary condition and either an in
crease in the amount of trade or de-
crease in ship building, permitting
the supply of5slltbs to attain a normal
condition, might relieve the situa-
tion. s'-- 90. Il ....,.,!,.
/ But any equalization between the
supply of ships and the demand for
shipping would not solve the problem
which confronts the United States.
The most; imgArtant factor in the
. question Of future maintenance of
! the American merchant marine lies
Yin the difference in the cost of con-
struction and operation.
1t is apparent therefore, that so
far as food and wages are concern
ed a British vessel can be operated
for practically Is per cent less, a Ca
madam vessel for 33 per cent less,
and a Japanese vessel for SO per cent
less than an American vesesl of the
same size and cargo space The Am
erican merchant marine is at an even

only opal mines in the United States.
The opals are red, white, blue, black,

The mine Is located in Humboldt
county, Nevada about mile above
sea level and some 200 miles inland
from the Pacific; not very accessible,
since the railroad town Of Winnie
mucca is about 100 miles away. Be-
cause Of the high altitude, the Or

"a CHILD FOR SALE" AT
REX SUNDAY AND MONDAY

Ivan Abramson's latest film produc-
ton, "A Child for Sale" which he
wrote and directed for the Graphic
Film company, is intensely interest
ing from start to finish. The drama
tie momentum the picture attains at
the outset is maintained throughout
the six reels. s. s@ss'5.. : ~, rs NJ
Every angle of the social problem
(not SEX that the story sets forth,
is outlined with unerring precision in
the various situations, with the re-
suit that, rarely is there to be found
a feature which unreels with such
perfect sequence as "a Child for
Sale" i. 49,. ~ ,...-E ~
The. story deals with the trials and
tribulations, for the most part, of
Charles Stoddard, a poor artist liv-
ing with his wife and two children
in Greenwich village. AS result of
his extreme poverty, his wife dies,
leaving him to fight alone the battle
of existence for the remaining family
trio, but the prevailing conditions Of
the day drive him to sell one of his
children for $1,000, to a rich, child
less woman in order to provide the
necessities Of life for his other child.
When his son returns and learns Of
the sale Of his little sister, the heart
broken boy causes his father to real
ize his terrible error. He returns
the Z. money to the woman and ,,ets
his baby back. 1.st5. 49,
Through the illness of one of his
children, he becomes acquainted with
DR.. Gardner and his wife Ruth, the
wife's wealthy parents, the Harri-
sons, and DR.. Gardner's nurse, Cath
crime Bell. William Harrison is the
artists landlord, whose life he saves
after series of very interesting sit
uations.
Finally it develops that the land
lords wife is the mother of the poor
artist whom she hasn't seen since her
former divorced husband carried off
their son when he was one-year-old
infant and took him to England where
he lived most of his life.
Mrs. Harrison tells the story to her
daughter, the doctors wife, and to-
gether they arrange to make life
more comfortable for the poverty
stricken artist and his children. This
is done, with the result that several
very dramatic problems are created,
not the least of which is The doctors
suspicion that his wife has become
unduly fond of the artist. In the
end, the matter is Strengthened out
by a confession to the satisfaction of
all concerned, including those who
witness the picture.
The players in the picture have
been splendidly cast. Thus, Gladys
Leslie plays the role Of the doctors
young wife in thoroughly enjoyable
and piquant manner. Creighton
Hale, as the struggling artist, does
some of the best dramatic work of
his career in this picture, and Julia
Swayne Gordon gives a beautifully
sympathetic performance as the Sul-
timately discovered mother of the.a.-
tist. William Tooker looks and acts
like the capitalist he portrays, and
Anna Lehr stands out prominently in
her role of a nurse. William David
son, as the doctor, acts Intelligent
and, as for the children, Bobby Con-
nelly and Ruth Sullivan, it is seldom

greater disadvantage when cost of
construction is taken into considera-
tion. According to the shipping
boards report the cost of British
vessel Is 80 to 40 per cent less than
of vessel built in the United States.
This means an imm ense difference in
capital charge and in the amount to
be charged for depreciation.
1t is certain that the shipping
boards feet will be operated at a
loss during the present year. Ameri-
can ships are carrying practically SO
per cent of the outgoing and incom-
ing foreign commerce of this coun-
try. 1t is very generally acknowl-
edged that the United States ought
to maintain an adequate merchant
marine, even if maintained at loss,
in order that the nation may have
prompt use OF ships as transports in
case OF war. What constitutes an
adequate" merchant marine be.
comes the real question before the
country. Apparently, in order to keep
American ships in service in compe-
tition with the ships of other coun-
tries, there must~be some form of gov
eminent aid or subsidy to equalize
the question in the cost of operation.
The question is whether, while op-
Grating at loss, the United States
should undertake to maintain ships
enough to carry so per cent, Or more,
or less, of the total foreign commerce
Of the country.
While there may be some excep-
tiOnS it is apparently true that in
general, ships under the American
flag and maintaining the standards
of wages and working conditions re-
quired by United States laws, will
not be able to operate at as low a
cost as the ships of Great Britain and
Japan. t,
