lily indorsed were addressed by
foreign economists who spoke
against the possibility Of America
ever successfully maintaining its
proper place on the seas. They
cite the Geddes incident when the
British Ambassador spoke against
our shipping ambition, and their
deductions as to foreign influ-
ences working against the bill
were borne out last July when
Senator Ransdell, Of Louisiana,
presented to the Senate many
concurrent instances taken from
the British press and British Of.
ficial reports showing distinct an
tagonism to the shipping bill in
all detail.
The Washington times., 1922-12-03

At present the Shipping Board
Is being run at an annual loss Of
about s5o.000.00o year and
only about one-quarter Of the
Government-owned ships are In
operation.
II every vessel run BY the
Shipping Board were sold to
Americans and run by them, tho
compensation or Government aid
would amount to only $500. 900
a year. II all the privately
owned ships now under the
American flag in foreign trade
received the direct aid provided
by the bill only S6.o00.0oo q
year more would be spent.
But the bill goes further than
this. 1t Is SO drawn that It's
operation would tend to create
an American owned, American
manned fleet Of American ships
Of about 100000 gross tons. able
to carry about one-half Of our
foreign business and furnish
ample auxiliaries to our navy.
Yet the direct aid for this ideal
fleet would only be about $780,.

pay their own way. Also that
Government supplies shipped
abroad must be carried in Ameri-
can ships wherever possible. No
cost to the taxpayer is entailed
in one Of the most important pro-
visions Of the bill, namely, that
for the next three years at least
one-half of the crews must be
American citizens or eligible to
become citizens, and that after
three years three-fourths of the
crews must be In that category.
That requirement with its proviso
"or eligible to be citizens" guards
the seamen against competition
by Asiatio labor and its low
standard Of living.
Mayor Curley, Of Boston, wrote

amazing situation Of Great Britain

There IL still another feature Of
relying upon foreign carriers that

Taxpayers Not Burdened

There is another side to the bill
that entails absolutely no cost to
the taxpayers. This is the require
ment that one-half the immigrants
coming into the United States shall
come In American ships. 1t Is
from the highly profitable immi-
grant traffic that the great English
shipping companies are able to pay
this year tax-paid dividends of 10
to Is per cent. and It is this immi-
grafton clause which has stirred
the bitterest editorials abroad. An.
other clause of the bill which costs
the taxpayers nothing, but which
Is most important in the long run,
Is the requirement that any vessel
receiving government aid must be
repaired in American shipyards.
This means the steady employment
Of thousands of skilled workers in
the ship building industry and in
the myriad trades allied to shin
building.
A splendid example of what this
means 10 the Job Of reconditioning

tract entails approximately $1,000.

Must Beat Riuals

Men like Senator Wesley L
Jones Rep), Washington, Senator
Joseph e. Ransdell Dem.). Louisi-
ana, Senator Knute Nelson Rep),
Minnesota and Senator Oscar w.
Underwood Dem.). Alabama, all
have expressed repeatedly in
Congress debates their flrm con-
vfctions that II the United States

world leader, be protected from
foreign aggression and enjoy
prosperity at home. an American
merchsnt marine must be In full
and complete operation before
world trade has fully revived and
been monopolised BY our foreign
rivals.
Opposition to the bill developed
IN the papers and in Congress
itself, has revealed q curious as
pect, seldom, II ever. seen in dis
cussion Of pending legislation.
This has been the entire absence
Of any alternative plan to foster
American shipping. This peculiar
phase Of the opposition caused
speculation a. to what might be
the real source Of the propaganda
against the bill.
Some Of those who favor the
measure even 20 30 far as to
insinuate that the organized op.
position against the shipping bill
IL due to the jealousy and fear
on the part Of our maritime ri.
walls. They point out that an
extensive press campaign has
been conducted against the ship
ping bill ever since last Febru-
ary when President Harding first
brought the matter before Con.
sress, and they point also to the

Must Carry Insurance

The opponents Of the bill pro-
test vigorously about the provision
of a loan fund Of S125.000,0 900 to
build new ships. The bill says this
can be loaned at mot less than
per cent" In consequence the
anti-subsidists chalk UP against
the cost of the bill s3,125.00o an
nually, basing their claim on the
fact that the Government borrows
money at AZ per cent and that
there must be a loss Of 2k per
cent. This s125. .oo0, 900 loan fund
is not to come from the Treasury.

from the amounts realized from
the sale Of Shipping Board vessels

loan also require the borrower to

The foregoing summary Of the
chief provisions of the shipping
bill arc the outstanding features
of the measure. There is another
side to tho entire question that the
general public overloeks and which

the most important item Of all.

Summary Of Situation

No better argument for passage
Of the ship subsidy bill has been
advanced than President Hard
ing's statement In his special
message to Congress convening
tho extra session, that the sub.
sidy. or direct aid. would cost
$2o,o0o.o0o a year less than the
annual loss of the Shipping
Board. That plea for economy
proved q stumbling block for the
opposition in the House debates
and was unanswerable.
Put in tabloid form. the ship-
ping problem may be summed up
thus:
II the Government keep the
fleet and run II until II h worn
out, the cost WIN be 1t least
$50. .o0o. 900 . year.
II the Government sells the

IL tho Government scrap the
fleet, only . fraction Of ito eost
will be recovered and tho ocean

hand. and with the way out

Only one Of the six is a member

talent was shown in the tryout
so that Salem can look for a good
team. Among those who made an
exceptionally good showing was
Malcolm Nader, blind boy. In
