"shfpping Unprotected"

"6nlppth2
MIR. Marvin said the shipping industry
had been the only one left unprotected
by the American Government. AS re-
SUIT, he said, there is danger that the
ships of foreign governments, backed un-
der every flag by some form or degree
OF government assistance and manned
under wage and living conditions which
Americans will not accept, viii again in
evitably drive our ships from the ocean
and destroy at once the delivery service
OF our ocean commerce and our resources
OF a national naval reserve"
mfr. Marvin asked on the part OF the
railroads a better understanding OF the
water transportation situation. He said
the American fleet should be made the
extension of the railroads, adding:
.'It is a fact of much significance 10
the railroad systems of our country that
under our flag there now exists an I'M
raense fleet of ocean carriers. American
Owned and pledged to serve first Amer
lean interests Under proper policy OF
national encouragement there is no rea-
son why American shipping companies
with alert traffic organizations abroad
NAV not bring to our railroads more
efficient service than the foreign steam
ship companies have given, plus the vital
factor of American good Will
hDr. Johnson stressed the commercial
advantages of merchant marine. II
the United States mad ocean lines as
well equipped and efficient and as well
balanced as those of Great Britain
America would be able TO handle all or
its commerce and control 1t as fully as
Britain does" he said.
Finds Subsidy Necessary.
Taking a view somewhat similar to
those of the other speakers. Mr.. Robin
son said he was convinced that a sub
sidy Is necessary II American ship own
ers are to continue to operate under the
American flag" He voiced the warn
ing. however, that ship owners would
have to do their part by increasing the
efficiency OF their operation. He con-
tinued:
Fin a business as highly competitive
as shipping. ineffciency and extrava-
giant practices cannot be tolerated. AS
sAning a subsidy sufficient to cover the
disadvantages growing out OF peculiar
American laws and conditions. we still
liave q big problem before US in our ef-
fort to meet successfully the competition
OF Foreign owners because of their much
longer experience IN tho business The
only possible way to meet this problem
Isl 20 offset longer experience with more
intensive study.
Long experience in business means.
among other things, tho establishment
of helpful connections and the creation
of a certain good will in the markets
served. In these traffic arrangements
the newer American shipping companies
lacked sadly during their Efforts to get
going Just after the armistice. Gradu-
ally they ara establishing these connec-
tions at home and abroad. Too much
emphasis cannot be laid on the value OF
good agents abroad. It Is phase OF
the problem which Is too often under
estimated Our ships need good cargoes
homeward as well as outward IL they
are to yield profits to their owners"

SHIPPING MEN FIND
SUBSIDY NECESSARY
Winthrop i. Marvin Pleads
= for Transfer of Fleet to
~ Private Hands.

A. powerful American merchant ma
rine is a greater need now than ever,
said speakers before the annual meet
ing of the Society OF Civil Engineers
yesterday IN voicing strong pleas for
Government aid to shipping. Those
who spoke on water transportation
were winthrop L. Marvin. vice-presi-
dent of the. American Steamship Own
ers Association; r. II. Nj. Robinson,
president Of the United American Lines,
and Emory r. Johnson, dean of the
Wharton School OF Finance and Econ
omy.
Mr. Marvin said:
SIN the interest OF peace we are going
20 scrap a great part of the best OF our
navy, but every obligation to national
security and prosperity forbids we
should follow UP the unexampled sacri-
flee already made at Washington by
scrapping our merchant fleet. 1t Is not
a problem now of creating a merchant
marine. We already have a vast fleet
in being. We also have a great corps
OF. experienced and efficient officers and
men. All of the officers and majority
Of the crews are American citizens.
"The question the President OF the
United States will place before the ma
tlon next month is q problem of so aid
ing and protecting this fleet in beine
add its personnel that the tonnage OF
the Government may be transferred TO
private hands and operated by private
ir5tiative and enterprise under a ma
ticnal policy that will give American
shipping the fair chance which the tar
iff has brought to manufacturing ana
agriculture alike"

Test Western Wood IN
Million Pound Machine

Word has just been received by Dis
triet Forester George H. Cecil that the
Forest Products laboratory of the Forest
Service at Madison, Wis, will make
strength tests on Douglas fir structural
timbers. This work will be done in CO.
operation with the West Coast Lumber
Manufacturers association. The Doug
las fir test material will be collected in
the Columbia river, Coos bay, Puget
sound, and GrayS harbor regions. The
collecting will be done by c. W. Zimmer-
man of the Forest Service Timber Test
ing laboratory of Seattle, Wash, C j.
Hogue, manager of the West Coast Pro-
duets bureau, and D. F. Hoffman, con-
struction engineer of the National Lum :,
Der Manufacturers association.
Mr.. Cecil stated that while the Forest
Service has made nearly one-half mil
lion strength tests on the commercial
woods of the United States, only meagre
information is available on the strength
of wooden columns. With the recent in
stallation of testing machine of mil
lion pounds capacity, large wooden col
umn tests are for the first time possible
in the United States. A wooden column
thirty feet in length is readily accommo-
dated in the capacious jaws of this huge
machine and this giant of wood breakers
will test the strength of horizontal
beams and girders with a length of eigh-
ty feet, forest officials state.
The purpose Of the study is to secure
data on the strength of wooden columns
and the effect of defects and drying on
wood when used as column. Such data
is needed in the preparation of lumber
grading rules and establishing of safe
working stresses. Foresters believe that
the tests will show that it is practicable
to use smaller columns, or lower grade
material of the same size, which would
mean a substantial saving of material
In all so timbers will be tested, of
these 40 will be green, the remainder
after two years of seasoning. Forest
officers say that the timbers selected will
be of both good and poor grades and will
vary from light fast-growing to heavy
slows growing woods.
Forest officials point out that Douglas
fir, the principal commercial tree OF
Oregon and Washington, may be consid.
cred the most important of American
woods. Though ranking second in poin,
of production, it has a comparatively
wide distribution, and the great variet,
of uses to which its wood can be put
places it first and as a structural timber
it is unsurpassed.
