OF course, Troy, with due rever-
ence to the names of the Wander

normal quantities of manufactures and
coal to balance these. shipping IS now
based on steel Shipping is based on
imports and exports. In the United
States the IRON ore is deposited thou
sand miles from the coal. and the steel
mills are five hundred miles from the
shipbuilding yards. Shipbuilding is q
naturally costly business in America.
Then. when the ships are built, there
is little home trade FOR them, there
are few experienced seamen to sail
them and few experienced agents to
to employ German shipping experts
just as "a effort has been made 10
secure British seamen. American ships
casrot be made to pay. And if theY
arc heavily subsidized the agricultural
interests will set up opposition, as
they did two generations ago.
On the other hand, little Great Brit
ain has iron and coal supplies. steel
works and shipyards and shipping
ports ri! practically side by side She
has an abnormal external commerce
to employ ships. She has vast and
widely scattered colonies to give her
goods and ships preference She has
an Inherent skin in building ships
and likewise in sailing them. She has
had centuries Of experience in getting
over. under Or through the multitude
Of difficulties that crop Up in foreign
trades and ports. Nothing can beat
Britain in shipping except British
slackness 1t is because the Americans
do not feel themselves strong enough
to beat US in competition that they
seek this cooperation.
1t is the case Of steel rails over
again. We exported more steel rails
than all other countries put together
We did so by reason of She quality Of
our steel. hy reason OF our greas
colonies needing rails, b. reason of our
huge investments in foreign railways
and BY reason Of our dependence on
manufactured exports to balance food
imports. Our rivals could not beat us
in open competition. so they proposed
a syndicate. They proposed that trade
be shared. A syndicate was formed.
The trade was shared on the basis
of productive capacity and population
Our special needs were ignored. We
we're rapidly relcgated from first 20
third position. We were beaten ny
both America and Germany
1t viii be just the same II we enter
an international shipping syndicate.
Our contemporaries will base .he'r
claims ou area, OF populations e. pro-
ductive capacity Our external trale
neods will be ignored. We she'll lose
our supremacy. What British trade
cannot obtain by its own organize
tlon it can never hope . attain as 4
mere unit OF an international syndi-
cate. There is no proposal to share
trade in tvpcwriters or automobiles
where the Americans are strong. Il
is only IN ships and heavy steel goods
where they are naturally and eco
nomically weak. lhat We are favored
with these ambitious SHARING schemes.
Where we can be beaten II is competi-
ton. keen and relentless. Where Ne
cannot be beaten in competition IL is
coolly proposed Aha. sge shall be

10 the Editor of The Spectators.
Sir: Shall British and American
shipping compete OF cooperate? Our
American friends did wonders during
the war in helping to counteract the
effects Of the German submarine cam
paign. They helped to make good the
international shipping shortage due to
the war. But, having built many ships
at great cost in an abnormal time, the
Americans are NOW at loss to find
ways and means of protitablv employ
ing the vessels. Bold legislative meas
ures have been proposed even to the
extent of abrogating solemn treaties.
encouraging our seamen TO desert their
ships when in United States ports and
lavishly subsidizng the American ships
The proposal to abrogate the Hay
Pauncefote Treaty, which stipulated
that All vessels should have equal
treatment in the matter Of Panama
Canal dues. is evidence of what some
American politicians arc prepared 10
do. But our friends are up against
some hard economic facts as well as
against the terms of international law
and treaties. So, while American poll
ticians have been trying TO frame dras-
tic shipping laws TO penalize our YES
sells and favor their own, representa-
tives OF the United States Shipping
Board hays endeavored to form an
agreement with our British shipping
interests. They have sought to main
tain freights at levels which would
render even American ships profitable
However, state shipping is proving a
huge financial failure and efforts arc
being made to get the vessels into pri-
vate ownership.
But under whatever conditions this
great new feet OF American ships are
operated-whether nationalizcd or pri-
vate, OF partly state and partly capital
istic the problem of finding profitable
employment for them stands to be
solved. These ships have cost enormous
sums to build. They are abnormallv
costly to operate. owing to the peculiar
economic conditions Of the United
States. 1t appears to our American
friends that the only way to find en-
ploymcnt and profits for their ships is
through some agreement with British
shipping. Negotiations have been go
ing on for couple of years ard Ger
tain terms have been professionally
agreed upon.
Herein lies profound danger to Brit
sh interests. The facts had better be
faced fairly and squarelg. After what
we saw in connection With the inter
national steel trade before the war
VIC ought to think seriously about the
probable cost and consequences OF an
international shipping syndicate be-
fore we enter such combine To
Britain shipping is vital. TO America
it is but luxury. We can enter into
no sort or kind Of international agree
ment except as losers.
FMst, let it be observed very spe-
cially that shipping is OF very little
Importance to the United States, prao-
tcally selt-containcd country, pro-
ducing rearly all its own food and
materials md manufactures. not need
/ ing to import much, or export much
to balance Imports whereas shipping
is of supreme and vital Importance to
the United Kingdom country need
| ing to import abnormal quantities of
food and materials and to export nh

OF course, there was something to
write about though a paragrapher's
tendency would have been to say NO

was the terrific indisposition of Babe
Ruth. better known as the King of

read, in all the papers, that the Lama

Mr.. Curran on Transit

Restating his position on transit
reorganization, Mr.. Curran says that
he favors tivc-cent fare and an
amendment to the transit act re-
uuiring the city'S consent to the
alteration Of contracts between it
and private transit companies. Of the
Transit Commissions preliminary
report he says that it is start to-
ward a realization of transit re
forms which the city has hoped for.
These are enumerated:
"Thc revocation Of perpetual fran
chiscs, the setting aside of underly-
ing leases, the squeezing out Of I'll
the water, the cancellation OF pref
crcntials, the coordination OF the
different units of transportation into
the restoration of universal trans
fcrs the taking Of the city's invest
ment out of the debt limit so that
We can spend that money for schools
the consummation of municipal
ownership of all the lines
If the commissions plan promises
al these essentials of reorganization
II would seem OF minor consequence
that it was imposed on the city by
the Legislature or that it fails TO
establish an imn1utable fve-cent
fare. The commission has declared
IN favor of fve-cent fare to start
With under the reorganization This
would mean five-cent fare not
only ON the subways and elevated
lines, but ON all surface hires, in
Guiding transfers. Many people
row pay extra for transfers and 4
second full fare where connecting
lines DO not give transfers. Every
citizen pays directly or indirectly
in taxes to meet the city's losses on
insunciently productive subway in
vestments.
What the fare ought to be in the
future hardly can be determined
until after the reorganiZed traction
systcm has been operated for a
test period. The commission pur-
POSES trying out the ljve-cent rate
f this Is insufficient the fare would
be advanced But with the Great
economies which would result from
reorganization and consolidation the
commission sees hope for fare
lcwer than five cents. A readjust.
able fare also would have the ad-
vantage Of Offering q simple and al
most automatic measure Of the eff
hcicncy with which q municipality
owned system is operated. AS :
matter of self-protection a city ad
ninistration would try to keep tht
fare at or below the five-cent level

owner, must pay its way eithel
through collections at the ticke
booths or through taxation.
can't conscrpt labor, materials O.
capital. This being so, the far
lssue is no longer a vital one in bet
ter transit planning.
The main issue in this campaign
is to get out of Office an obstructive
city administration which ha
talked relief from intoleraole tran
sit conditions but has contribute
no relief and which has now NJ
other program than the complet
rejection Of The transit commits
