Europe and Our Merchant Marine.

Europe and Our Merchant Marine.
The joint committee Of Congress
considering the ship subsidy bill was
in session yesterday. This is an item
from a report of the meeting:
Edward p. Farley. one Of the vice
presidents Of the Emergency Fleet
Corporation. who has just returned
from an investigation OF shipping con-
ditions in five Of the maritime coun-
tries Of Europe, told the committee
that foreign shipping interests are
to develop the American
merchant marine. !
This concern IL complimentary. It
shows that our entrance into the mari
time field is rated as important. We
are to be reckoned with, and our COM
petitors for business there sense the
fact.
Let US show appreciation Of the
compliment by equipping ourselves
thoroughly for the fray. The Ameri-
can merchant marine should be one Of
the best afloat. It should lack for
nothing In it's Inaugural. or In its sup.
port after Inauguration. The object
is to make ourselves again strong ON
the water, and maintain our strength.
It Is not for day, but Tor all tho fu-
ture, thai we are doing this thing.

Its Proper Meeting Place.

Washington is happy to welcome
the thousands of business leaders who
are here attending the tenth annual
meeting Of the Chamber of Commerce
of the United States, and is glad that
they have come at a time when the
National Capital is at its best, in re-
spect both to its beauties and its com.
forts. It is to be regretted that more
suitable convention hall cannot be
provided for the gathering, but that
Is fault which will be remedied at
no distant day.
With the laying today Of the corner
stone of a magnificent building which
Is to be its permanent home, the ma
tiona1 chamber will become even more
than in the past a Washington insti-
tuition, and it is to be hoped that the
members Of the organizations which
make up its constituent membership
will come to regard the capital even
more than in the past as their com.
mon city.
It is as eminently proper as it is
helpful that the Chamber Of Com.
merce Of the United States should
have its headquarters in the National
Capital, and it is a reasonable hope
that when more adequate provision
has been made for the accommodation
of such gatherings its annual meet.
ings will be held here regularly. The
chamber can best function here at the
seat Of government, and the govern.
ment is given invaluable assistance
as a result Of its functioning. Four
Presidents Of the United States have
testified to the value of the Services
rendered by the chamber, and Con-
gress has written into legislation its
high opinion Of the guidance furnished
by the collective business wisdom of
the nation.
This years meeting of the chamber
IS held at time when many trouble
some problems vex both the govern
ment and the people, and none of
them is more vexatious than Euro.
pean Conditions and Their Effect on
American Business" which is given
chief place on the program as a topic
for consideration. There is need for
all the light on this subject that can
be had, and both the government and
business are bound to profit by the
exchange Of views.

A PROMPT Declination.


participate in the proposed interna-
tional conference at The Hague on the
subject of Russia Is in logical pursuit
of the policy which dictated declina-
ton Of the invitation to Genoa. Secre-
tary Hughes note to Ambassador
Child conveying this decision to the
Genoa conference is an explicit state
ment Of reasons. The United States,
though desirous to aid In every prac.
ticable way consideration Of Russia's g
economic exigencies, believes 1t can.
not helpfully participate in The Hague
meeting. which would appear to be
a continuance under different no.
menclature Of the Genoa conference
and destined to encounter the same
difficulties II the attitude disclosed in
the Russian memorandum of May II
remains unchanged" This govern
ment, however, does not let the matter
drop at that point, but expresses its
willingness now as before ITO join
with the governments extending the
present invitation In arranging for an
inquiry by experts into the economic
situation Of Russia and the necessary
remedies"
There remains to consider the dif-
ference between such conference as
that suggested by Secretary Hughes
and that proposed to be held at The
Hague June 26. The latter is outlined
in the agreement Of the inviting
powers, a cabled summary Of which
has been received here. It would ap-
pear that the latter meeting is to be
merely for preliminary exchange Of
views to consider the line Of action to
be adopted by the commission Of ex-
perts toward the Russians" In other
words, The Hague meeting is predi-
Gated upon continued negotiations d.
rectly with the soviet government.
whereas the suggestion Of Secretary
Hughes, as expressed in his letter OF
declination, implies consideration Of
remedies and measures by the gov
ernments other than Russia Without
such direct dealings.
Some surprise has been expressed
at the promptness Of the American
declination. There is no warrant for
this. The policy Of this government
was settled and fully stated in the
note which declined to participate at
Genoa. Nothing has occurred to
change that policy, and there was no
occasion for delay in restating the
American position
The proceedings at Genoa failed as
respects Russia. Delegates from Mos
COW were admitted and virtually pro-
posed terms. Their attitude was one
of dictation rather than Of submis-
sion. They sought to gain q material
and decided advantage. Their intro
duction to the Genoa conference was
accompanied by announcement Of a
treaty with Germany. They were
there to drive the shrewdest bargain
possible, and the failure Of the confer
ence in. this respect was inevitable
short Of complete yielding to the
Russian proposals. There is no reason
to expect different results from further
meetings conducted upon the same
basis. Hence the American refusal,
which will have the emphatic support
Of the American people.

HALIBUT BOATS CUT Z MONTHS

(Ketchikan Chronicle.)

News of a voluntary declaration o. closed season on halibut fishing until March 15 by the fishing vessel owners themselves was contained in q cablegram received today by the Ketchikan branch of the New Eng land Fish Company.
 The cablegram reads:
 Seattle, Washington. Jan. 6. 1922 Manager New England Fish Co.,.
 "Ketchikan, Alaska.
 At meeting Thursday 30 vessels signed agreement not to leave port until March 15. Every vessel owner present signed agreement and we ex pert all other vessels vii. sign i'm mediately upon reaching port A few boats have left during the last few days but have promised to make one trip only because they had their provisions aboard when this came up
 "We have investigated situation thoroughly and find cold storage plants in Washington, Alaska and Canada filled with halibut which can not be marketed unless production of fresh fish is stopped.
 "As governments cannot agree on a closing season we are trying to ar range in addition to the above clos ing a full, bontfide closing season next fall.
 "As we have no representative ir Kctchikan we are asking you to have this information posted at the Ton gass Trading Company and also cir culated among boat owners. Also ex- plain to vessel owners that by stop ping productioA of fresh fish they will assure themselves a fair price for their fish this coming summer and if they do not tie up, they will be una ble to secure any decent price for their fish because the companies cannot buy fresh fish when they have their plants full of frozen fish from last year.

NOT EFFECTIVE HERE

According to well known fishermen and fish buyers of this city. this vol untary closed season will not be ob served by the local halibut fleet nor as far as they can find out, by any of the smaller boats fishing in inside waters in. Southeastern Alaskan waters.
 They point out that the spawning season for halibut is between Novem Der 15 and January 15 and that spawning is practically over now. The fishermen would be perfectly willing to observe those two months as closed season.
 Starting now they claim that the fish are coming into inside waters after having finished spawning on the banks out at sea and it will be possible for the small boat owners to make fair catches and retrieve some of the losses of the past sev. eral months.
 The movement for closed season for fhe next two months is chased by some of the fishermen as being but move on the part of boat own CTS at Seattle who own only big vessels fishing out in the open sea, to tie up fishing during the time that 1t is unprofitable for them on accoun, of the rough weather that there Is now for several months and not to protect the halibut while they ara spawning.
