As WAY To GET
SEA BUSINESS
Congressman Miller Feels
Shipping Problem Will Be
Solved by New Law.
BY John r. MILLER,

Representative In Congress From state
OF Washington.
Written Expressly for Universal Service.
During the world war this Gov
ernment spent more than $S,6oo,'
600, 900 In building ships.
We have them on our hands now
"a war hangover.
1t is not a question Of what. the
Government would like to do. but
simply what can the Govern
ment do?
II these ships are to be kept
afloat and in the world trade the
operators. whether be individuals.
companies or the Government,
must have Government aid, and aid
means a subsidy, either direct or
indirect.
It does not matter what kind Of
a subsidy II Is, how II is paid. or
whether 1t be direct or indirect. 1t
all comes out of Uncle Sans
pocket in the end.
II there be a sage or wiseacre
amongst us who can figure out
how America is to keep these ships
on the sea in open competition In
the world trade with those OF other
nations that do pay subsidies with
out our doing the same thing. he
has not yet spoken. Nor Is such
sage likely to speak.
The problem Is simple. What
are we going to do with these
ships? Are we going, to let them
rust and rot. tied up, while those
Of other nations are busy in the
world trade? Or. are we going to
do as they do, get busy and let
the world know and understand
that the United States Ia on the
Job Just as much in peace as In
war?
America is playing q new hand
in the game Of world trade, and
for the first time in our history we
have the cards. Now let us play
the game and play to win. This
is not the time for anybody to get
scared about paying small sub
sidy. No use in throwing up our
hands. We have paiS subsidies to
the railroads, both cash and land,
and we build up the greotesI sys-
tenn in the world. Now for the
ships, and we can and will do the
same thing. Old Glory should
speak just the same whether II be
on the land or on the sea.
We are told war is hell. That
in true. but hell don't stop with
war. 1t lasts until the war hang
over Is gone. II war and the hang
over are both hell, let's show the
other fellow that II Is just as much
hell for him as II Is for US.

The San Francisco Reserve Bank,
It was stated yesterday, has re-
Quested statement from the Fed
sral Reserve Board on a reduction
Of the San Francisco rate from 4l2
20 4 per cent. The board. it was
said, took the position that a re
duction in the San Francisco rate
was entirely up to that bank, and
whatever decision 1t reached would
be agreeable to Washington.
Further indications that a reduc
ton would take place in rediscount
rates is the news that the Bank OF
England had cut it's rate of dis
count to 3i3 per cent from 4 per
cent, the lowest rating since Janu
ary. 1914. when it was 8 per cent
This Is the second reduction during
the current year.

Of ear corn in a crib multiply the
length of the crib by the width by the
height by four-ninths if corn is of

If the width or length of the crib is

4 THOUSANDS Of former service men
= spent last week in New Orleans,
taking part in the fourth annual con-
vention of the American Legion, and
they had as guests number of much
decorated heroes from the allied ma
! lions and some distinguished, American
civilians. 1t was a lively gathering
and woke up the old Crescent city.
Moreover, it did and said aud heard
some things that are likely to have eff
/ feet on governmental and congression-
al action. Naturally the bonus, or, as
the legion members prefer to call it,
| the adjusted compensation, came in for
much discussion This was very one

a whole was decidedly in favor of the
| bonus, and a resolution, strongly word

| who fought the war were underpaid
and that there should be an adjust
| ment. Former Judge Lands, in fiery
| speech, upheld this view and was Wild
| ly cheered.
Col. A. A. Sprague, chairman of the
| legion's rehabilitation commission sub
mitted a report severely criticizing the
governments achievements in that line

gressmen and senators. THE story Of

President Hardings delay in the
matter of naming cooperative commit

Thursday the convention after an
exciting debate adopted resolution

On Wednesday the boys had their
parade, and it was a big one. Some

they had % military bands, % drum

circled two squadrons of airplanes and
many seaplanes.
General Pershing arrived in New
Orleans on Thursday and was given
a rousing welcome. It was said he
was particularly pleased with the re-
port of the military affairs committee,
adopted by the convention, calling for
the drafting of industry and labor in
the event of war.
One of the distinguished guests of
the convention was to have been Col.

clear Profit for Government.

When stamp collectors buy new
stamps it is a clear profit to the Post
Office department, since no service is
rendered in exchange for them. Since
the new issue, of special delivery
stamps more than $1,000 worth have
been sold to collectors, thus making
a profit of about $500 to the govern
ment, since the designing of the new

but $439.81.

said: agricultural production is
very nearly restored, taking the
world as a whole; but agricui-
turai prices are so low that it Is
apparent to all of US that the
farmer is not being compen-
stated" Asserting that the ad-
ministration has done all in its

COALITION government in Great
" Britain has gone to smash. Lloyd
George has resigned as prime minister
and his entire cabinet is out. A. BO-
mar Law has been asked by the king
to form a new conservative ministry.
Lloyd George has promptly begun a
fight to regain power as chief Of a
new party. The British are entering
on the most exciting political contest
they have had for many years. A call
for a general election is expected
shortly.
The downfall of the coalition minis
try was brought about when the con-
sentative otherwise tory or union
ist-members of parliament and of
the cabinet, in caucus at the Carleton
club, decided their party should go
to the country as an independent
party, and, If elected choose a con-
sentative premier. This action was
taken against the protests of Austen
Chamberlain their leader, and in ac-
cordance with the advice of A. Bonar
Law, hitherto staunch supporter Of
Lloyd George It was precipitated by
an election in Wales which was won,
surprisingly, by the conservative can
didate
At this writing it is not certain that
Bonar Law will attempt to form a
ministry, but he probably will do So
and it is taken for granted that all
its members will be conservatives ex-
cept Lord Grey, who will be offered
the post of minister for foreign af-
fairs. The life of this ministry I'M
doubtedly will be short.
AS is said above, Lloyd George has
not quit the fight. He delivered hot
speech at Leeds Saturday and several
others on his way there, and made it
plain that he won't "take bis punish
ment lying down." He has the nu-
cleus Of a new and strong party in
such conservative leaders as Lord Bal
four, Austen Chamberlain, Lord Biz
kenhead, Worthington Evans and 9TH
ers who have stood by him in this
crisis. 1t will be a party of mod
crates and may be called the center
or national party.
