ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
FROM SHIP SUBSIDY

"This man, l trow," said bluff King
Hal, speaking of Cranmer, "has got
the right SOW by the ear" In Ian
guage less homely and more elegant,
but equally to the point, it may be
said that Col. Myron w. Robinson,
president of the American Manufac-
turers' Export Association, voiced a.
great truth when he declared a day
or two ago that development of an
American merchant marine wi " ;ene-
Sit the whole country as we'll as the
ship-owners. Promotion of foreign
trade, retention Of about S300,000,000
a year in freight money In this coun-
try, employment of thousands Of men
in shipping and allied trades and the
creatio.~-of a naval reserve, making
it certain that never again will it be
necessary to create a fleet at a cost
of $4,000, 900 900 in an emergency,
are among the benefits which Col.
Robinson said would naturally flow
from the placing of an adequate mer-
chant marine on the high seas.
And he is right in his contention,
for transportation is essential to
prosperity, and for transportation
ocean-going vessels are in their own
way as important as railways or in
land waterways. There are some per.
sons who admit the truth Of thi:
proposition and yet hesitate at the
idea of a ship subsidy. These gooc
people are of the type who balk a
words and are frightened at shadows

LITTLE Merit FOR
CLAIM Wet VICTORY

1t is a question whether one should
be more astounded or amused at the
claims of a great wet victory OIL Ne
vember z.
The vets did win substantial victor
les in Massachusetts, New York, New
Jersey and Illinois. "The Dutch have
taken Holland"
In Ohio the vets were routed horse,
foot and artillery. The press reports
a majority OF $4,000 against the
proposition to 'legalize" the sale of
been and wine. Senator Pomerene
was defeated by a dry.
In California the drys enacted a
drastic state enforcement law and
elected a prohibition governor. The
dry enforcement act majority is ap-
proximately 10000.
In Georgia they replaced a wet
Senator with a dry Senator.
In Mississippi they did the tame
thing.
There is a net prohibition gain Of
several votes in the United States
| Senate.
In the House of Representatives,
the dry0 have lost some of their pre
vious immense majority. Just what
this loss is no M yet knows. 1t Is
known, however, tnas the drys still.
have very nearly, if not quite, two
thirds of the House Of Representa-
tives. The probable House line up is
perhaps 295 drys to 1875 wet.
:. True, Volstead was defeated--by q
3 dry preacher. Graham, a wet. viii
, become chairman of the Judiciary
I committee of the House-an accident
pure and simple. The senior ~ Gus.
tom is responsible for it, not an in,
crease in wet sentiment.
AS for the Senator the vets elect
: ed from New Jersey, we wish on
I opponents joy of him. We wo1l'
n rather have seen him elected to tn
y United States Senate than any othe
wet in the country. Unless we siz
n ! him up wrong, he will come very nea
i running any cause with which he i
q associated.
n just notice this-the drys VIII
e were defeated were all Republican,
Scanning the list rather hastily, W
' fail to find a single dry Democrs
who was beaten by a Republican.
u In a number of cases dry Reput
leans who lost were beaten by Den
a. ocrats equally dry.

to Also, it should be noted that Il
s. west and south were held solidly b
ut the prohibitionists. Only that pc
VI tion of the country which has r
/ eeived immigration too rapidly fl

tendency. It would be safe to est
mate that three-fourta1 OF the n

A period of general economolc read
justrnent, especially one in which the
relatively of groups of commodity
prices to one another is greatly dis
turbed, provides a favorable oppor-
tunity for the advocates of futile or
harmful measures, states the current
issue of The Guaranty Survey, pub
lished by the Guaranty Trust Com
pany Of New York. The greatest
danger in such circumstances, the
Survey continues, is that special fav-
OTIS and class legislation will be ex-
tended.
Following the recent national cleo
ton, various programs for proposed
legislation have been brought forward
by special groups which may have an
important effect upon general bust
ress conditions.
Among the proposals for legislative
consideration are a new &cldiers'
bonus bill; a repeal Of the Esch-Cum-
Minis transportation act, with a re-
duction of railroad rates and a restor-
alton of state regulatory powers;
the re-enactment of the excess prof
its tax; various amendments to the
federal reserve act; governmental
financing of various plans for the
distribution and marketing Of agri-
cultural products, and other of like
cast

States may be very helpful to France,
although not in the way the former
premier is seeking. If he correctly
~interprets the sentiment of his audi
