h NE-FIFTH of the two thousand
ships built by the Government


ships built by the Government
during the war are now idle,
not by reason of the seamen's strike,
but chiefly because cargoes are lack
ing. Twelve thousand ton ships are
leaving New York every week with
5 three or four thousand ton cargoes.
Some farseeing man or men in the
Government will presently wake up,
realize that the Government has a
great job on its hands in managing
it's fourteen or fifteen million tons of
ships, and that nothing but the Gov
ernment is strong enough to provide
plan.
England, the greatest trading ma
tion, has awakened to the situation.
Over there boards of trade, import
ers, bankers and insurance COM
panies act together to protect Brit
ish interests on the principle of one
for all and all for one.
For instance, Liverpool cotton
merchants, in sending large orders
for Southern cotton, which they
must have, found that the cotton was
to be sent from Galveston on Ameri-
can Shipping Board boats. Winthrop
l.. Marvin, attorney for the Ameri-
can Shipowners' Association, tells
the result:
"The Lancashire spinners an
nounced that they would not ac-
cept the cotton unless the ship
ping orders were changed and it
was sent by British ships. This
action was forced upon the ship
pers, and British steamers carried
the American cotton while Ameri-
can ships lay idle"
We do not criticize the patriotic CO.
operation of British shipowners and
merchants. But we do wish that
American merchants and boards of
trade and chambers of commerce
worked together with the same en-
ightened self-interest.
President Harding's admirable
phrase that there must be more busi-

ness in government and less govern
ment in business is being overworked
by others. 1t is the duty of govern
ment to interfere as little as possible
with private business, but always to
be ready to exert its power either to
protect or to promote.
American shipping was raised to
the highest point of efficiency and
prosperity, the American flag dotted
the Seven Seas, as the result of a
single Act of Congress, passed in
the Administration of George Wash
ington. That act permitted goods
brought in American ships to be ad-
mitted to the country for or 10
per cent less tariff duty than goods
brought in foreign ships. This dis
eliminating tariff continued until
our ships were chased from the seas
during the Civil War by armed Con
federate cruisers, built and equipped
in England.
England never lost the supremacy
on the Atlantic that she gained at
that time.
The Underwood Tariff Act, en-
acted in 1913, attempted to revive
that discriminating tax in favor of
American ships.
But President Woodrow Wilson,
by executive order, nullified the pro-
vision of the tariff law at the urgent
demand of Great Britain, Germany
and France.
If Congress cannot save the two
thousand ships now owned by the
Government in any other way, it
may have to revive that discrimi- -.
mating duty.
1t is regrettable that some eminent
members of the great Chamber of
Commerce of New York, American
international bankers, and American
directors of insurance companies are
heavily interested in British ship
ping, banking and insurance. Their
present business arrangements are
so profitable to them that they op-
pose any change in present practices.
chester could not criticise our municipal
expenditure without saying that aldermen
are bigamists ex-oficio and that city
councillors poison their friends as freely
as the Borgias.

bonds and their friends want true news
about Soviet unsuccess in administration
to have a chance in this country, they
really ought to give up trying to feed
us first with extravagant lies.
ut makes us blase.
after a long course of invented fay
ings. boilings alive, savings in two, and
the like, the mere failure of an exchequer
to balance accounts misses its due effect
on the mind"
We quote the opinion of the Man
chester Guardian because it is one
of the greatest and sanest organs of
public opinion in England.

To think

Weak heads need the artificial support
of pride to hold them up.
Patience is long arm that holds off
disaster and reaches forth benevolence.
Self-criticism is the indispensable dag
nosis that must precede the cure of our
faults.
When men learn to taste the happiness
of others they find that there is enough
in the world to go around.
They who go at swift pace in pursuit
of pleasure overrun their goal.
Silence Is a stronghold Of wisdom, but
only temporary shelter for fools and
knavcs.

THE sBIG FISH ANU JoNAu.
II. b. ROSSELL thinks there is no
use for II and S scientists to make
an Investigation of the FISH that
swallowed Jonah, but that may not
stop the scientists. The Bible story
of Jonah nowhere mentions that II
was WHALE that swallowed him
and 1t is to ascertain the kind OF nsh
that the scientists are about to send
out one OF their number.
The Biblical story says that the
Lord told Jonah to go to Nineveh to
cry against II because Of it's wicked
ness. But Jonah became frightened
and tried to run away in another Ji-
rection, taking passage on a vessel
on which he paid his fare. A storm
arose and Jonah, knowing he was
the cause of II all. asked the crew
to cast him overheard, which was
done. He was promptly gobbled up.
Rossell quotes the Bible:
Now the LORD had prepared A
GREAT FISH to swallow up Jonah.
FISH three days and three nights.
Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD
his God out OF the FTSHS belly. .
And the LORD spake unto tho
FISH. and It vomited out Jonah upon
tho dry land
Rossell has heretofore pointed out
that the throat OF whale is too
small to swallow a man, and the
question still hangs: What kind OF
fish was it, The Bible verses quoted
say that the Lord PREPARED 4
GREAT FISH" especially for the
event.

ITO dispei misconstruction and
rDisunderstandiag II is all import
ant that the public and the en-
ployes should know at the outset
and bear in mind continually Just
vhat II is that this proposed strike
of the railroad employees Is directed
against. They are not striking be-
cause OF any refusal OF the rail-
roads to reduce rates. They are
not striking because OF any inten-
tion expressed by the railroad to
avail themselves of the right con-
ferred by the transportation Act,
1920, to- appeal to the Railroad
Labor board for . further Areduc-
tIon in wages. rhe strike vote was

Both sides. declaring that there
should be 1sh per cent reduction
OF wages. There can be no question
as 10 the correctness OF this state
rnent. The morning papers Of Oct.
ri printed a telegram from Cleve-
Tand which states what the cores
pondent obtained from the Broth

strike in the following language:
1.-The strike Is against the IAN
per cent wage cut ordered by the
Railroad Labor board. Il cannot
take into consideration the new
wage cut. which the railroad exc
cotivcs made known their inten-
tirn OF asking, because that cut has
not gone before the Labor board
