Move to Improve
Richmond's
Harbor

hlproVement of RichmOnd'S
water front and harbor is ono
OF the chief aims of the Rich
mond-New York Steam shin
Company at this time. TO
this end officials of the line
confidently expect to enlist the
cooperation and support of
the City Council.
1T was not SO many years
ago that it was a common
sight to see several ships re-
celving and discharging full
cargoes OF raw materials and
manufactured products at
Richmond.
Gradually this sight became
uncommon and finally ceased
altogether when the Old Do
minion Steamship Company
abandoned Richmond-cut off
Virginia from economical wa
terway freight service. This
condition lasted until progress
5ive business men of Richmond
successfully financed and be
gan the operation Of the Rich
mond-New York Line.
Even now river traffic is
practically confined TO vessels
Of this single line.
However, it is believed that
some Of the old-timc water
highway hustle and hustle Of
years ago can be restored if
Richmond takes the same in
terest and pride in her water
way that is Manifested by
every other city which is for
tunate enough TO have a navi-
gable stream.
The Richmond New York
Steamship Company is fur
nishing fast freight service
between Richmond and New
York City, with adequate con-
nectiOns at each end. Freight
rates are lower and the fast
movement of consignmcnts by
water is frequently character
lied as express service"

Most important is the almost certain
cumulative influence OF the Washington
conference, which six months hence, in
connection with the reasscmbly in Lon
don or Paris of the representatives Of
the nations will likely have adopted, a.
a new convention. measures for the
economic benefit Of the world o. com
merce that should be as effective foy
business. and there fore for people, as
the tardy superid dealistic schemes O.
some Of our prominent men who return
from Europe imbued with the need fo1
succor for suffering humanity.
The Washington conference, in its
promised cut in government costs, is
the FIRST step up the ladder toward re-
establishment Of general national SOL
vency, and the next is the likely deci-
sion by Congress not to put impedi-
rnents in the way Of funding OF inter-
nation war debts following the new
foreign convention. With the first es-
sentlal arrangement out OF the way
what vii be more natural than that
We shall turn, with the aid Of the sat
lsfactory ease of money brought about
by our largely expanded gold reserves,

substantial sinking fund to begin the
function, coincidentally with the col
lection Of interest on the debts of our
Allies, Of our own intra-nation war
debt?

To replace this form Of assistance the
President has stated that he will 20 be
fore Congress with a plan for q sub
sidy. The Shipping Board has an
nounccd that it will enforce Section 2S
o. TIE Jones act, giving preferential
railroad rates on exports and imports
in american vessels only, and there
have been no recent indications that
this policy will be reversed. The ship
ring industry, accordingly, is looking
for a year OF favorable legislation, and
also to helpful cooperation on the part
of the government.
The Shipping Board has made marked
progress in it's efforts to increase the
percentage Of citizens among it's
crews.
A Development OF considerable sig
niticancc to shipping has been the move
ment launched in London last month
for uniform international regulations on
marine practices. In previous years
shippers and steamship companies alike
have been penalized By the lack Of
standard rules affecting loa0lines, bills
of ]adng, the construction of ships.
charter parties and other shipping mat
ters. There has been competition in
factors which affect the safety of lives
and property at sea. Under the inter
