coming great mercantile shipping
nation. On the contrary, there is a
considerable school Of thought which
will express itself in the debates In
congress as soon as President Harding
makes his proposal
This school believes that since
Great Britain and other nations are
adapted to doing mercantile shipping
business more economically and effici-
emily than we are, we should leave
the business to them. They say that
we have an abundant field for our en-
ergies in the development of our mines
and land and our other internal re-
sources
They say that we have other re-
sources which are more than enough
for US. and to which we ought to de-
vote ourselves. We have our wheat
fields, our cotton fields. our copper
mines, and our iron mines.
Great Britain on the other hand. has
none Of these. To Great Britain mer-
camille shipping is her greatest re-
source. 1t is to her what our mines
and our land are to us. Under these
circumstances. this school of thought
claims, we should be content to leave
the business of mercantile shipping
to the nation which can do it econ
omically. without government subsidy
or any other form of strain.
This, stated in the broadcast way, is
the decision which is just ahead of
US, and which now has the largest i'm
portanee in this whole field of the re-
lation of the United States to the rest
of the world.

among US who believed that this
would be mistake, and we need only
recall as recent time as last winter
TO be convinced that there was a most
earnest movement within the United
States to avoid the colossal expense
and other handicaps inherent in our
becoming the possessor of the great
est naval power in the world.
furthermore, it is always to be
doubted whether Great Britain, in spite
OF her present apparent financial
weakness, would have been willing to
let any other nation, definitely and
hnally, supersede her as the greatest
naval power. Somehow or. other
through whatever sacrifices it might
call for, would try to find a way to
keep her position as mistress of the
seas.
Established Partnership
That was the situation az the time
the Washington conference began.
This conference went directly at the
heart of this question of naval SUI
premacy. What has now been done
by the results of the Washington con-
terence IS that naval supremacy. in
stead of being the possession of any
one power, is trusteed, so to speak. in
group OF three nations, Great Britain,
and the United States having each five
SHARES and Japan being junior part
ner with three shares.
This trusteeship, this partnership in
naval power, is unique in history. The
adoption of it is the thing which more
than any other one factor causes the
Washington conference to stand out
distinct departure in history. That
1t is glad escape from the alterna-
tive of naval competition can not be
doubted by any one who wishes well
to the human race.
One Question Left
If we assume that this partnership
in the position of mistress of the seas
is to endure, and it is now decreed
to endure for the years Of the naval
holiday at least, then that leaves for
consideration the one other element.
in world dominance, of which the pos
session is still in doubt-nameIv. SUI
premacy in mercantile shipping.
In this respect the Washington con-
ference comes to an end with Great
Britain still outcfassing us.
1t is true that we have a shipbuild-
ms piohC WHICH VIII enable US to out
class Great Britain if we determine to
DO 1t and got at it by main strength
during the present period of depres-
sion, when there are not cargoes for as
many ships as are already in existence.
there is no incentive for US TO build
more. But the present depression will
end
Must Fix Policy
A time will come when all the ships
now in existence will be in use and
when there will be demand for more.
What We are to do in anticipation of
this future condition is now one of
the major questions of the policy
which President Harding must deter

Big QUESTION
Continued from Page One.)

compose world dominance were about
equally divided between Great Britain
and the United States. We had the
financial supremacy incontestably.
The supremacy in mercantile shipping,
actual or potential, was about equally
divided. The supremacy in naval
strength was still with Great Britain.
Three Go Together
This has never been in all history a
normal position. These three ele
ments belong together. 1t is not nor
nal and hardly possible for them to be
divided. No nation can very well have
any one of the three without having
the other two. No nation can have
the naval supremacy alone because it
is a tax-conSumer. 1t must usually be
accompanied by the financial and mer-
camille shipping supremacy which are
the producers of the taxation that sup
port the navy. In the same way any
nation which has the financial and
mercantile shipping supremacy is
pretty sure to go on and take the
naval supremacy in order to protect
the other two.
Normally, it is probable that what
would have happened would have been
that the United States would have
gone ahead, would have completed its
supremacy in mercantile shipping, and
would then have seized the supremacy
in naval strength.
Not Shipping Nation.
The probability of our doing this
was, however, subject to serious
qualifications. There always was and
still is a considerable section of we'll
informed opinions which considered
it doubtful whether the United States
would ever achieve supremacy in
mercantile shipping. We are not nat
urally a shipping nation. A nation
does not naturally take to the sea II
it has other resources within its Dor
ders on which to eXpend it's energy
and growth. With our great natural
! resources in land, in mines, and other
WISE. the tendency would always be
to use our man-power and our money
in developing them. We could only
become great mercantile shipping
nation by a prodigious effort, accom-
panied by large government subsidies.
Also there is some doubt whether
we would have been willing to spend
/ the money necessary to make us the
greatest naval power in the world
| There were many among us, including
some of our most responsible leaders,
who believed that it would be our
proper course; in fact. that was the
avowed purpose on the part of some

strongly in favor of the United States
having mercantile fleet inferior to no
other nation on the sea. In public ad-
dresses he has announced this policy.
At this very moment he has on his
desk report from a group of experts,
upon which he is expected within a few
weeks to erect policy and to an
nounce it to congress. The general eX-
pectation is that this policy will favor
government aid to privately owned
mercantile shipping in large way.
and will look forward to our having
mercantile fleet in proportion to our
commercial and financial position in
the world
Basis of Advocacy
Those who advocated this policy
base their advocacy on the argument
of commercial competition They say
that the United States can never
nave a position in the commercial
world proportionate to its resources
except by owning enough ships to
take care of our own needs whenever
conditions of business activity bring
those needs 70 maximum.
One of the most earnest advocates
OF this course describes it by analogy
to department stores. He says that
mercantile shipping is to a nation
what delivery wagons are to a depart
ment store. and that no department
store would be willing to leave the
delivery of its goods to customers to
the mercy of delivery system owned
by rival store
They say that so long as business is
dull, it will work all right When
there is not enough demand to con-
sumo the services of all the ships that
already exist, our rival nations will
be willing enough to carry our goods,
but as soon as the time comes when
the demand for goods is greater than
the supply, then it is not to be ex-
Dected that a rival nation will devote
its ships to giving to our goods the
same speed and efficiency in delivery
as it gives to its own
That is the argument for the United
States going ahead and through the
device of government subsidies. be-

 Tt must be tiny home of some onew said Raggedy Ann, "and they are playing upon their little piano!"
 NO, it isnt!" a voice in back of Raggedy Ann said.
 And when they looked about, they saw a little boy standing there and his eyes were dancing with merri- ment.

 But the little boy could not run as fast as Raggedy Andy, so Raggedy Andy had to catch MT. Doodle by the coat tails and hold him.
