Of them were:

Gated, which includes French
occupation Of the Ruhr and a

STORY IS WARNING.
There is a picture; there is a text.
Rightly seen and fully understood,
they reflect a situation that is not
good for either the self-respect or
adequate pride OF a great people
A timid nation at sea has never yet
escaped the Christening rod. A peo-
pie, however proud at home, who
shrink back humbly at the waters
edge have never long maintained
either power or prosperity. Com
mercial and political history tells the
story over and over again. 1t
warns this American Republic to
day.
Today we, the American people,
have twice the wealth Of England,
four times the wealth of France,
six times the wealth Of Italy,
ten times the wealth Of japan and
twenty times the wealth of Hol.

We have probably as many quick
resources as all five nations com.
bined.
We have the men. We have

merce to carry and we have the
ships to carry it. We have the
factories and the farms and the
markets waiting to take and con-
sumo the goods. We have all the
foundations of wealth and welfare.

imagined. Yet we hesitate; we

occupation and industry for a suf.
fering population. have built and
launched nearly 100000 tons of
merchant vessels, with 1,00O.00O
tons more to be operated within the
next twelve months.
The Dutch, with a kingdom no
larger than Maryland and a popu-
lation no greater than New York's
with the wreckage of war all around
them and the hardships of Europe
pressing them down, operate their
old ships and build and launch new
ones.
Even 100000 Dutchmen, even
"a. .000, 900 Frenchmen, even 60.000,-
900 japanese do not hesitate to do
these things, although in the means
of success they are comparatively
poor. Yet 10S, 100000 Americans,
with all the commercial weapons In
the arsenal, not only hesitate, but,
having adventured a little way upon
the high seas. are half-reluctant to
go further and are exhorted by
many of their leaders in Congress
to turn back. make for port and
scuttle the ships.
Why is this? What do we lack?
What is it that we are without and
that the French, the Dutch, the
Italians, the japanese and even the
crippled Germans possess? What
have the 100000 Hollanders that
we 10s 200, 900 Americans have not?
MISTAKE IS GRIEVOUS.
From the arguments Of the ship
subsidy opponents in Congress. only
one conclusion can be drawn-we
lack the grit, the, pluck, the spirit.
the self-confidence. The enterprise
that httle Holland and humiliated
Germany still display upon the high
seas is not to be found in the
United States. Most notably, it Is
not to be found in the Middle West
and Mountain States. That is the
conclusion one gathers from read
ing the debates.
We dare not trust the Government
to distribute a subsidy for fear dis
honest men will get it. We dare not
spend $50 0,0O0, 900 year to keep our
merchant fleet afloat, for fear that
special interests will make profit out
of it. We dare not compete on the
high seas with old-established rivals
for fear we may arouse enmities and
encounter reprisals. We dare not at
tempt to succeed at a price where
others have succeeded, for fear we
may fail and be obliged to pay the
cost.
But surely, that is a spiritless at
titude-surely there must be some
mistake. The American people Of
the Middle West and Mountaain
States can not be 50 timid, so feeble,
so shortsighted.
OF course, there Is a mistake and
grievous one. The truth Is this:
Where the ship subsidy bill has
been assailed and denounced by
Senators or Representatives, it is
unpopular. Where the ship subsidy
bill has Been explained and under
stood, 1t is popular. Where neither
has been done. the bill is neither
popular nor unpopular. The people
await light; they are not for it nor
against it, but are indifferent to, it..
The evidence here to this effect is
overwhelming.
The men who rage across the
House or Senate floor. and call upon
The Washington herald., 1922-12-16
Nation Cringing at Waters Edge
in Subsidy Fight, Says Hinman

their colleagues to spare the poor
farmer the awful burden OF ten cents
or fifty cents or ninety cents a year
for u ship subsidy. do not reflect any
vast volume Of public opinion as is
taken for granted. They represent
largely their own desires to raise
new issues and attract votes, and
only to a small extent an active op-
position to the new merchant marine.
FATE IN BALANCE.
What then? The Senate is
uncertain. The fate of tie ship
subsidy is in the balance. The
daily question is whether the ves-
sells that promise the Nation a
world of commerce and prosperity
shall be operated or scuttled. With
in few weeks-probably in Feb
ruary-that question must be an
swered, and for everybody who
earns a livelihood in the United
States II is OF momentous impor-
tance that it be answered right.
What then should be done? For
one thing, this:
The American people who are
misrepresented here as timid. doubt
full. distrustful of themselves and
eager to remain in a humiliating
dependence on foreign powers, need
TO come out Of their indifference
and make known their true senti-
ments. By letters and kilograms
they can accomplish much. By
meetings and resolutions they can
accomplish more. By conversations
with their Representatives in the
holiday season they can accomplish
most of all.
The opportunity of a century is
here to fulfill Americas destiny
upon the sea, to spread her COM
merce across the oceans Of the
world. to capture and bring home
to the American people more ma
tional welfare, comfort and cumu.
lative prosperity than they ever
have imagined.
Loyalty, a nations self-respect
and a statesman's solicitude for the
future of a great people demand
that the opportunity be grasped.
But unless the people speak. 1t may
not be grasped. 1t may be lost.

Washington when the real or sup

every mans window is open to the
West, every mans ears are open to
any whisper on the wind.
All the people have to do is to
make known the wish that their
sacrifice in building Americas new
merchant marine should not be in
vain, that its vessels should not
be scuttled to make a political issue
or soothe a few timid breasts. and
that the commercial independence
Of this Nation should not be sur
