large pitchers, one OF which was on
the ice box. while the other one
was in the bath room. A whisky
glass was setting on the cloth COW

ESTABLISH FLAG
ON SEAS, SAYS
PLUMMER a
Shipping Board Commissioner
Explains Necessity OF Ship
Subsidy Act.
BY EDWARD C. PLUMMER.
Commissioner Of tho United States
SHINING Board.

oy EDW AND u. TLC""r"
Commissioner Of the United states

Written for Cosmopolitan News Service.
BOSTON, Nov. 24.-One more eff
fort is being made in Congress to-
day to restore the United States flag
to its rightful position upon the
seas.
Subsidies to ships are designed not
merely to encourage shipbuilding
and ship operation. but for the
larger purpose of developing the
ocean trade of this country and
establishing a vitality important in
dustry.
We seek no monopoly in trade
We recognize that from the very
nature of her empire, Great Britain
well may aspire to have a mer-
chant tonnage three times the size
of that which NAV carry our flag
in foreign trade: but every American
can and should stand squarely on
the proposition enunciated by Fisher
Ames of Massachusetts. that we
must always have a merchant fleet
"
the cargoes which our people furnish
to and take from the other nations
of the world.
FOrefathers Were Seamen.
Our forefathers were children OF
the sea. 1t was from the sea,
from the ships Of our enemy, that
the fearless mariners OF Revolution.
airy days snatched those supplies
which brought success to Washing
ton at Dorchester Heights: 1t was
from this port that there went forth
the venturesome Columbia that
found, and gave her name to, the
Pacific's mighty river. thus stalk.
ing the claim which gave to this
country an empire In the great
Northwest.
1t was wealth won from COM
merce that did a measureless work
in changing 1900 miles Of untrod.
den wilderness into rich and popu-
ious States, and 1t IL upon COM
merce now that the fullest pros
perity of the country must rest.
1t was Washington, In his mes
sage to Congress-. and jefferson,
In his report as Secretary OF State,
who demonstrated the absolute ne.
cessity of a merchant marine for
the producers and consumers OF
this country, and who secured
those laws which gave direct, as
well as indirect. aid to merchant
shipping.
Would Coordinate Traffic.
So long as these laws remained
we flourished upon the sea. When
they were abandoned, the warning
words OF Madison were verified
our shipping disappeared.
The fundamental thought in the
pending shipping bill Is to be found
in title 6, which compels the CO.
ordination of rail and water trans
portation. That provision means
the practical elimination Of freight
blockades, the regular travel Of car.

Every improvement in, and

improvements in transportation ia.

crease in the worlds international
trade-an increased ocean business
in which the ships of all maritime
nations will have a share. and in
which we propose that hereafter,
as of old, the United States shall
have itS proper part.
