From a protectionlst point OF view
Il Is hard 90 see what Senator Nc
Cumber and other Senators are driv-
ing at in exploiting alleged colossal
profits made,by importers OF and
dealers in cuckoo clocks, razors.
straw hats and other specialties.
According 10 the exhibit made in
the Senate on wednesday. these
articles are being sold at advances
running as high as 2.240 per cent
on the import price.
The Senator may we'll pause TO re-
fleet where his argument lands HIM
Men and concerns engaged here In
vending foreign goods equal in vlr-
tue the domestic manufacturers OF
similar goods. One element may be
assumed 20 be about on a level with
the other. II competition does not
restrain the vast army OF vendors
OF merchandise II can hardly re-
strain a lesser number OF manu-
facturers who are more closely or
ganized. The Senator, in his eager
ness 90 bring the importers and
dealers under suspicion, has
brought the manufacturers under
similar suspicion. In effect he says
that the manufacturers will enrich
themselves behind the shelter OF
excessive duties.
Equally ruinous to the Senator'S
pretended demonstration Is the
query: why have not domestic
brought their goods
60 tba rnarkaf and fakon ADVANTAGE
Of the price level he holds is estab-
iished by greedy importers and re-
tailers?" The Senator's contention Is
not common sense-not even
plausible nonsense.

posals and counter proposals and
appeals and pronouncements OF the
last eleven weeks amount to moth
ing but airy words. There has been
so far no indication OF Willingness
on the part OF either side TO meet
the other on common ground. Nor
has either brought forth anything
to show why commission with
powers TO investigate and recon-
mend IS not the natural solution.
Such a commission would. OF course.
consider not only the question Of
wages. but also costs, prices and
profits.
The Administration has so far
gone no further than to labor TO
prevent prohteerlng But a dictum
that prices must not raise In no way
brings nearer the end Of the strike
And unless the end appears soon
this dictum will be az ineffective in
Keeping down prices as the discus
slons OF the anthracite miners and
operators have been in settling the
strike.
There is no prospect OF bringing
the strike 10 a close II there is not

The Real Shipping Question
(From the New York Herald).

The violent storm which has arisen
over the wet" ships OF the Ameri-
can merchant marine overshadows
for the moment the issue OF the ship
subsidy bill now strongly urged upon
the attention OF Congress by Presi-
dent Harding But, wet ships or dry
ships, the fundamental question will
continue TO look the American people
and the United States Congress
squarely in the face.
This fundamental question is.
When a great merchant marine un-
der existing national laws and eco
nomic conditions cannot be consid-
cred as a business proposition pure
and simple. how much Is Il worth to
the nation. nevertheless. 10 have that
merchant marine anyhow?
II cannot be a straight business
so long as the navigation
laws OF the country make the labor
and other costs OF operating Ameri-
can ships enormously higher than
the costs OF operating British ships
and other ships competing for the
worlds overseas carrying trade. It
cannot be a sound investment prop
osition with American costs OF con-
struction, repairs. renewals and other
maintenance very much higher than
costs for such work are anywhere
else in the world II cannot be a
plain economic proposition when our
national laws and our national SEN
timent are uncompromisingly op-
posed 20 getting our ships repaired,
equipped or built wherever the work
can be done best at the cheapest
price, whether that be in Europe,
Asia or Africa
AS long as these circumstances are

BUSINESS.
The only question. whichever sys-

tenn we have. is how much are the
American people willing to lose on
their merchant marine? How much
is It worth to them as an auxiliary
fleet. a supporting arm, to their navy
How much is IL worth TO them as a
constant commercial contact with the
rest OF the world--a floating inter-
national bridge under their own con-
troll rather than under the control
OF anybody else, friend or foe? How
much Is II worth to then in prestige
to have sailing into the ports OF all
the nations fine, fast, beauntiful ships
under the stars and Stripes7
Chairman Lasker says OF the ships
with wet cafes and OF the ships as
dry as powder magazine that the
very life OF the American merchant
marine. so far as concerns passenger
vessels, depends on their being able
TO serve drinks that are not soft. But,
after all. that doesn't touch the
freight carriers. which are the back
bone OF any great merchant marine.
II simply means. II there are 10 be
no wet cafes on American passenger
ships. that our vessels will have to
offer 70 wet travellers fares enough
lower than the fares OF wet foreign
lines 10 draw passenger trade be-
cause Of the strong financial induce
ment. in spite OF the dryness On
board the American ships. And this
IN turn means there will have 10 be
more losses yet.
In any event Il will be case OF
operating a merchant marine on high
financial stilts Increasing the losses
a few millions a year by making the
ships bone dry will merely /
mean operating a merchant marine
on still higher stilts.
This is the situation. as Chairman |
Lasker himself has frankly put II on |
various occasions, which Is up 70 the
American peopie-how much do they
want a heavily losing merchant ma
-ineY How high are they willing TO
90 for it7
II Congress knows what II Is worth i
70 the American people and how
much OF a tax they will stand TO
have It. and how long they will stand
{, Congress can go ahead with its
ship subsidy bill on a wet basis or
IN a dry basis.
