National Victory Memorial Building May Be Ready for 1925 Inaugural Ceremonies

seription plan proves successful
 The scheme for financing the un- dertaking Is believed to be unique. Each state will be asked to endow a service star for every son and daugh- ter who served during the World war. The rates to be assessed are: A minimum of s5 for each blue serv- Ice star and a minimum of S100 for each gold star of sacrifice.
 France has her Pantheon and Brit ain her Westminster, so now America may have a Victory Memorial re- vereing the father of the country and his ideals established in 1776, and commemorating the valor of theesons of the country, who preserved them in 1917. General Pershing, naming the edifice "a temple of remembrance to those whose valor made it possi- ble," expressed the hope that it would also be a monument to that new era of international relationship and friendliness which alone will guarantee a lasting peace"

SHIPPERS ASKED
 ID USE AMERICAN
 MERCHANT BOATS
Calder Says Nation Must Keep Steel FreighterS AfIoat to Win Back
 Trade
By Associated Press

New York, February 5.--A plea for shippers throughout the country to use American vessels as carriers for their foreign exports, in the interest of the American merchant marine, was voiced today by United States Senator William M. Calder in an ad- dress before the forum of the Insti- tutional synagogue.
 Public opinion, he said, should be aroused to appreciate the necessity of keeping afloat steel freighters built during the war at a cost Of hundreds of millions and to win back the country's earlier distinction os carrying nearly 90 per cent of it's ex- ports in domestic bottoms. He said he would back legislation to this end.
 The lack of interest in the main tenance of merchant marine has been caused largely by the fact that our business men have found other lines of endeavor more profitable" |" Senator Calder said. Tn the begin ming of our history the populous parts of our country were ranged along the eastern seaboard. We had to maintain a merchant marine.
 Center of Population
 -"'Today the center of population is 1000 miles from the Atlantic and 1000 miles from the Pacific. Our internal affairs occupy the attention of the business men of our country more than our overseas trade and we have not appreciated the advantage of maintaining a fleet to carry our products to the furthermost parts of the world.
 T am in favor of the enactment of measures which will assure this being done, and I am certain that the vast majority of the people of our state would support legislation to assure this result. If We are to extend our foreign commerce, we must have the ships with which to do It."
 He said that the subject of great est interest to the people in the east was the need of early revision of the tariff.
 Factories Closed
 All over our state today factories are closed and workmen aree out of employment" he declared This has been brought about through the re- vival of our trade with Germany. They, and the other countries who manufacture the same products that we do, have been able to undersell u3 because of the lowering of the value of the currency of those countries In comparison to our own.
 Tn Germany before the war, q mark was worth 24 cents. The aver age German workman received 1 marks per day, or about $1. The German workman is receiving 100 marks day as against before the war, but these 100 marks are worth but 50 cents as against the equivaa lent of s1, which he formerly re- ceived. On the other hand, the pay of the workman in our industries has practically doubled since 1914. This has so affected the cost of com modities produced here that it is inn possible for us to compete with Ger many and other European countries" ,"
