ARTICLE S.

Az lICLE ..
Modern civilization is an economic
one. The basis of all economic CIV
ilization is transportation. Coal and
oil may be only momentarily basic
fuels; it is possible some other fuel
may be discovered. Fuel in one
form or another will always be basic
to transportation, and transportation
in one form or another is basic to
exchange of goods. =
{. In my first article undertook to
demonstrate how, UP to the time Of
the Civil War, America, had develop
ed strong merchant marine, and to
sketch the conditions surrounding
our practical disappearance from the
sea between the time of the Civil
War and the World War.
During this latter period we were
self-suf6cient and. self-contained
nation, having need of world trade
only In small measure tor the dispo-
.sition of SURPRISES and TO pay with
them the moneys borrowed for our
development. Our creditors were
largely the leading maritime nations
of the world and they sent their
ships to receive the goods in pay
tment of what We owed them.
Americas Position Altered.
!, In the last decades. though, Amer
lea has changed from q self-con-
tanned and self-suficient nation to
one that now must look across the
waters for many OF its needs. Our
manufacturers must look across the
sea both for markets and raw ma
tertals:: our agricultural sections
must sell their surplus to other ma
tions IS ss I. .s5 60 D. +
II we are to keep our industries
going, we must make sure Of steady
low OF those materials which we
need and must insure prompt and
| fcontt nuous delivery 81 manufactured
wares and raw materials which We
wish to give n exchange for that
which We buy.

Subsidy Comparable s. arifI IS. u Us
The world has completely Changed
/ ~ consequences Of the late war: and,
no nations needs have changed more
than America s. Therefore, the old
arguments that existed against the
cessity OF a merchant marine, no
longer hold. But unfortunately mil
lions, including the farmer, have not
mad a' time or opportunity to develop
the facts as to the changed condi-
ttons and changed needs. 81
81 It is often asked by those who are
living in the shadows of other days,
why the farmer should be- required
to contribute to subsidy for ships,
when the product Of the farm re-
mains unsubsidized. Such, Of course,
is far from the fact; because. in the
protection given by the tariff, the
farmer, like the manufacturer and
all of us, is subsidized, and very
properly, to the extent of our needs.
Subsidy for ships is the Identical
thing that tariff protection is to home
production,
:, AT the hearings held by the Joint
committee of the Senate and House
IN relation to the proposed subsidy
Legislation, Mr.. J. R. Howard, Presi-
dent of the American Farm Bureau
Federation, testified that while his
association was opposed to subsidies
In principle, and certainly to sub
sides save for a limited period
(Which is the view of the Harding
ADMINISTRATOR, a careful study by
experts appointed by the Federation
had led him to testify in behalf of
and TO urge the enactment of the
Legislation proposed for the mer-
chant marine.
Merchant marine rates." said Mr.
Howard, "are just as important as
railroad rates to the farmer. The
FARMER may not always realize this
fact, because he is able to visualize
the rail transportation and does not
frequently come in contact with
ocean traffic. It is a distinct factor,
however, in the price of his COM
modities, for the surplus of our
crops sold abroad largely sets the
price of those commodities in this
country"
Farmer vitality Concerned.
Mr.. Howard averred that % Der
cent. of our wheat and Sc per cent.
OF our cotton is exported. He figured
closely the cost Of subsidizing agri-
cultural cargoes under the Act, and
estimated it would amount to an
average Of one-fourth of a cent a
bushel on wheat and six cents a bale
on cotton. Said MIR. Howard, '"rhe
subsidy will be guarantee against
loss from failure to reach markets
regularly and when markets are best
| Marketing is today the farmers chief
problem. The ship subsidy is our
best insurance for the marketing OF
the farmers eGportable surplus
Whether it be from the standpoint
that the farmer will have surpfuse
which, II their transportation abroad
is not assured, will back up on him
to- the destruction of his prices; OF
whether ultimately he will have nc
surplus and relies on the prosperity
Of the American workers in Other
| callings, the establishment of a mer
chant marine has become of prime
! Importance:
In the next and concluding article
Of this eeries I shall undertake t
discuss how the Government pro
poses to insure the needed sea car
riage.
