The family has moved from g gas.

electricity, and baby Frank, standing
on tip toe, can just reach the two push
buttons inside the rooms. They are a
source Of great amusement and he
never fails to press them whenever
he passes.
A few nights ago his mother came
from the upper rooms and announced
bedtime. Little Florence ran upstairs
Immediately. Frank, up to his usual
tricks, pushed the button, and off went
the light. The overwhelming darkness
frightened the little fellow. After a
minute he asked: Mother, are you
there?' "Yes, dear" said bis amused
mother. Another pause. Mother, are
you 'fraid?"

Why We Need Ship Subsidy

necessary in the International
competition of the ocean CARRYING
trade.
American-flag ships are more
expensive to operate than their
foreign competitors. mainly be-
cause our wage scale is higher
you have to pay. an American
more to go to sea, just as you
have to pay him more to work
in a factory. You protect the
factory workmen by a customs
tariff if you want that factory to
stay in business. In the same
way you must protect our ship
ping if you want it on the seas.
Of all the "key" industries of
the country, shipping is the
master key.
Protection of shipping must be
by means of a subsidy-namely,
payment of at least part of the
difference in operating costs be-
tween American and foreign flag
lines.
The Shipping Board proposes
such subsidy, varying according
to the size and speed of the ship
and the length of voyage. The
total of the subsidy is figured at
SIS, 100000 for the first year. That
is $35, 100000 less than the pres
ent operating deficit under Ship
ping Board ownership. In addi-
ton, the private owners would
keep the vessels in proper repair
and accumulate funds to replace
them-which is not occurring
now.
If this ship subsidy bill is de-
feated, it will only be because
Congress is devoid of vision and
prey to the British propaganda
that we should leave to British
carriers control over our export
development.

proposed a. plan OF creaI-
ing an adequate merchant
marine by measures providing
for ship subsidies.
There is no question of the
necessity for developing an
American merchant marine at
least equal to the merchant ma
rine of any other country.
America has assumed the
leadership of the world in in.
dustry, and the desirability of
possessing an American mer-
chant marine to distribute
American products through the
world and to develop to the ut
most new markets for them is
apparent to every one.-From
signed editorial by William
Randolph Hearst, March 10,
1922.
The Government spent four
thousand million dollars on mer-
chant ships during the war. We
have six million gross tons of
freighters. Of course, some of the
vessels are no good, having been
built flimsily in the rush to con-
struct faster than the submarines
could destroy. But, according to
Chairman Lasker, of the Shipping
Board, half of the tonnage is the
equal of any in the world today,
This half has a carrying capacity
Of 100000 cargo tons.
We have this merchant marine
practically all in the hands of the
Government. The Shipping Board
has been allocating the vessels to
American operators who have run
them on a contingent basis, being
paid a percentage of the freight
charges received. The Shipping
Board, which holds the bag under
such an arrangement, is losing
money at the rate of $50,0O0,0OC
per year, in spite of the fact that
half its vessels are tied up.
Now the Shipping Board pro-
poses to get the ships into the
hands of private American own
ers, who can operate them with
more economy than this Govern
ment agency has shown itself
capable of, and with the flexibility
