RATE-CUTTING IN
OCEAN TRAFFIC

Rate wars may seen to shippers 70
be a benefit. But any advantage they
offer Is temporary, while the disad-
yantages have an unfortunate measure
of permanence. Shipping pools and
conferences" have sometimes been de-
nounced as combinations In restraint
Of trade; but they are rarely tha. II
must be remembered that the ship
ping business IL at best conducted on
"a narrow margin OF profit, though
fortunes have been made In II when
tho total value of transactions has
been sufficiently great. Any whole
sale slashing of rates. therefore, Ia
bound 10 be disastrous IN the long run.
No doubt there have been cases of
rate-ffIiug beyond the limits Of a
reasonable return; but these are few.
IL is certain that in present conditions
rate-cutting is quite un1ustifed.
These very conditions, OF course,
tempt to rate-cutting with the hops OF
stimulating business. But tho princi-
pie OF the bargain sale" has its dis
tinct limitations so far as shipowners
are concerned The withdrawal of one
company from the Atlantic Intercoast-
al Conference is TO be deprecated.
There is something like 100000 tons of
shipping in excess OF the present de-
mands of the traffic through the
/ Panama Canal. but the tonnage en-
ployed has brought in fair returns. II
( is better, however. TO tie up ships
than to run them at a loss. The OBJ
ject OF the conference control OF rates
has been to remedy the over-tonnageC
stat OF the intercoastal trade by elimi
mating the weaker factors and putting
an end to secret rate-cutting. Fiercel
competition VIII defeat this purpose.
The Shipping Board must bear il!
share OF blame for provoking suci
competition. Shipowners have com
planned bitterly of its policy OF putting
ships on routes already overcrowded
II recently undertook to cut rates II
the West Indies and South American
trade, thus injuring. net merely for
eign companies IN the business, bu
American. One American company
which by its energy and enterprise ha
developed a great business in this field
has protested bitterly against thi
faction. 1t should be obvious that IN
interests of the American merchan
marine are not advanced by destroy
ing the legitimate profits Of America

TARIFF AND BONUS HIT HARD.

by the defeat of Senator McCumber
I'm the North Dakota Republican pri-
maries a heavy blow was struck at
the prospects OF both the Tariff bill
and the Soldiers Bonus bill. as Nc
Cumber was an ardent champion of
both. His defeat. therefore, shows that
a ma jority of the Republican voters OF
North Dakota are not friendly TO these
two measures. II they had been they
would have renominatcd Senator Me-
Cumber, as this favor, coupled with
his superior mental calibre, would
have gone far towards obviatins
whatever objections they might have
had TO his retention IN office.
This defeat win greatly handicap
Senator McCumber in his efforts TO
forward the pending Tariff measure
in the Senate. AS chairman of the
Senate finance committee he has the
measure in charge and Will lead IN
the fight for Its passage. Already Il
has encountered much opposition and
various Republican Senators have
shown their lack of sympathy with
many OF It's details as well as SIS gen
eral purpose. Its future was be-e'
with difficulties. and these difficulties
are largely increased by the repudia-
! ton of it's chief sponsor by his home
party voters.
Senator McCumber also has been g
/ leader in the fight for the Soldiers
Bonus bill, and very reluctantly con-
sented TO its setting aside until after
the passage of the Tariff bill. 1t is
now conceded It will not be passed a
this session, as many Republican
Senators are beginning to realize thu
sentiment of the country is against It
And now they know 70 certaint,
the Republicans of North Dakota ar
against It.
Some kind of Tariff bill may sc
through, but the Soldiers Bonus bill
is doomed for the present. Senate
McCumber's reputation has made tn
first doubtful and the latter assured.

dence this year, when Democratic
prospects throughout the country
seems $50 bright.
In letter to the Philadelphia Roc
ord. last week, Mr.. Charles I.assiter
Of Chester told the results OF a per-
sonal canvass no had made in his
home division OF that city. He found
only 10 Democrats registered for vot-
ing, but unearthed 1852 Democrats in
the division who were qualified for
registration but had become politically
indifferent. or the remainder OF the
citizens of voting ago In the division.
lktle less than 500 In all, he found
nearly a hundred who were Republi-
cans, but highly dissatisfied Repubn-
cans. ready to revolt against their
party and what 1t stands for today.
With only thirteen Democrats vot-
ibS o. tho titcAlOii, lnd iNtDuDllCdn
majority In this division would be
overwhelming. but It will be seen what
a difference there would be II the
other 152 Democrats should register
and vote. And there Is no doubt good
organization work would bring them
into the Democratic voting fold
There is no doubt similar condi-
tons prevail in every other political
division of Pennsylvania. The Demo-
cratic strength is there, but 1t has
long been dormant. This year. II over
it should be aroused to voting energy
and action. And IL this Is done. tho re-
suit of the November election may be
vastly different from what Is now
promised.
Is It not possible that similar con-
ditions. although to a much smaller
extent, exist in Delaware? Probably

DOES HE MEAN TT

In his Independence Day address TO
the people of his home city, Marion
Ohio. President Harding said:
I'm welcome the day when
can come back TO stay with you
permanently. A great many people
think II is n fine thing 10 be Presi-
dent, and I suppose # IS the best
thing TO let them continue such
q pleasant dream. But 1 know bet
ter, and l would like nothing bet
ter than to be Marionfte again"
II President Harding was really
sincere in this somewhat significant
utterance, 1t will be easy enough for
him 10 crafty his desire for a return
to private citizenship. All that he need
do is make II plain he will not be a
candidate for another term. and IN
tends 90 retire permanently from pub
Tic of'ce on March 4, 1925. He might
hasten the desired result by resigna-
ton. but he will not be expected to
do this.
In view OF this positive declaration
Il will be interesting TO note the atti-
tude OF President Harding as the next
Republican National Convention draws
nearer. At this time IL is natural to
presume he VIII desire . denomination,
as all his predecessors have, despite
his public declaration Of longings for
return 10 private life. Just now his
prospects OF denomination are not en-
couraging. but that may not prevent
him being an a.pirant
He may be compelled TO retire to
private life at the end OF his term

he so desires, the way is open.
