ENGLAND WORRIED
OVER GROWTH
OF u. S. FLEET
BY LLOYD ALLEN.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
LONDON, July e. Freedom Of
the Seas-this il the toughest Of to.
days problem between America and
England, beside which all other ques.
tons are AZ nothing.
For one hundred years England
and the United States have developed
with different viewpoints regarding
ethics Of regulating and using the
worlds great trade routes In peace
time or In wartime.
Since America has built great
fleet OF commerce carriers and at the
same time il creating a strong navy.
the question of cooperation with
England in utilization Of the Seven
Seas has become Of paramount i'm.
portance.
Lloyd's Register shows the follow.
ing startling comparison between the
British pre-war and postwar mer.
chant fleets:
British tonnage, 1914, 2l,045,049;
1921, 20,5S2,652. American tun.
mage. 1914, 5,36s.194; 1921. 49,.
04s,2Ss.
These figures show Americas rapid
advance into the shipping business,
with the u. S. Shipping Board as the
largest single operator in the history
Of the world.
British shipping circles have shown
a disposition to carefully guard the
great trade routes of the world and
not encourage American entry into
these 'expensively built-up connec-
tions that link the worlds seaports.
Much resentment has been ex.
pressed in London regarding the
Jones Shipping Act, which II put into
full force would operate detriment-
ally against British interests, 1t Is
felt.
At the same time ofiicial and un-
Official London watch with unflagging
interest the growth of the American
navy and there Is q unanimous plea
in the press for agreement limiting
ornaments, II possible.
Should agreement not materialixe,
the newspapers warn England
against taking second or third place
among the worlds great navies.

The need is very serious. The best
service a protective tariff can render
the farmer is, first, to effect a stabili-
cation of his industry and of the
prices received for his products SO
far as legislation can accomplish this,
and to secure a steady and normal
return. rather than to have periods Of
high prices followed by periods Of
acute distress similar to that through
which we are now passing, and caused
by food Of imports, of competition
by products produced at much lower
cost than our growers can produce
them, and. second. keep down the
prices Of the things he buys"
Removes Wood Pulp
Regarding wood pulp and news
print the report says:
THE paper schedule removes from
the dutiable list wood pulp of all
kinds and standard newsprint. The
American consumption both OF pulp
and standard newsprint is greatly in
excess Of our production. 1t is,
therefore, logical in the interests of
conservation and suitable supply that
these articles should be put upon the
free list. Sufficient authority is given
the president to protect American in
terests should any discrimination be
showed against US by foreign ma
tons"
The republicans claimed that the
enactment Of the bill would DO much
to relieve the present depression.
Rates of duties are proposed" the
report states, (which will permit the
products of American labor to COM
pete with foreign goods in the Amer
lean market without sacrificing the
standards Of living"
Taking up the schedules in detail.
the report says that the average rate
on chemical oils and paints is Is per
cent ad valorem. The embargo on dye
stuns, which can now be made in this
country. is justified on the ground
tnat the development Of the dye in
dustry is necessary to national de-
tense.
The report says utterly unscrupu-
lous as the German syndicate was be-
fore the war, when its supremacy was
uncontested. practicing ruthlessly
every form Of corrupt and unfair COM
petition known to commerce. It lie in
evitable that in the future, when In
stead Of safe supremacy 1t faces pos
sible destruction, 1t will attack all
competitors with reckless disregard
OF business decency.
That attack inevitably will be
concentrated upon u.s."

Some careless people are clever,

too; some stupid people are careless,

ness"
"1ndeedT asked Cousin Dromedary.
Pray tell 1t to me-"
We'll" said Cousin Camel, as he
continued to chew and move his mouth,
perhaps It's not much Of a reason,
but 1t is a reason.
That Is something. Not much-but
something" And then Cousin Camel
began to say In a sing song voice:
To have a reason is something fns,
need say no moro. but can end this
line.
Iet l might add that chew all the

And that that IL the end OF this, my

Cousin Camel smiled at Cousin
Dromedary and said, winking an eye:

said Cousin Dromedary. after all, we
still want to be friends"
True, true" grinned Cousin Camel,
who saw nothing to object to In what
Cousin Dromedary had just said.
you aren't as big as l am" Cousin
Camel went on, and you are not so
heavy in weight. You can get along
more quickly. 1t is true. But you have
two sorrows In life. One Ia that you
only have one hump and the other is
that you have no beautiful long hair
as have"
THAT all depends on the point of
view" said Cousin Dromedary. 81 pre-
fer having only one hump and l don't
want to be bothered with long hair.
My family like to be this way. We all
are and we all do alike in our country,

we all do alike in my country. which

"Oh. WELL said Cousin Camel, "you

yourself"

cousin Camel. 80 as to save others
the trouble. They might be busy. YOU

TO be sure" said Cousin Drome-
dairy, land that was Just what I was
speaking about in the first place. Dur
ing the summer you took people for
rides and many visitors came to the
400. You didn't care then about your
long hair at all. You didn't mind IL in
the least because you looked far from
beautiful and quite Shorn. in fact.
But now that winter has come YOU
let your beautiful hair grow fine and
long and very few will see you"
"Ah" said Cousin Camel. you think
we are careless because we do this
way. But ! must tell you the reason
for 1t. IL Is because we want to save
our beauty for those who will brave
the winter welthe. to come and call on
us. Now, isn't that fine, noble rea-
son? OF course he added. with the
biggest and bToado5t of grins covering
his entire face, "it't family habit and
we don't outgrow family habit like
that, never-it's quite impossible"
Impossible for you. perhaps" said
Cousin Dromedary, but still | can't

Camel. I'D rather chew than argue. 4"
