If the ship subsidy bill is killed
it will mean the hauling down Of
the American flag in the Pacific!
It would place our west coast
under the menace Of the Japa-
nese flag! Tokyo will dictate in
the commerce with the east!
Opponents Aid Aliens.
The late Governor Dix once COM
manded: "If any man hauls down
the American flag. shoot him on,
the spot!" These words, spoken by
a true patriot, should ring in the
ears Of every Congressman who is
now trying to kill the ship subsidy
bill. He is deliberately hauling
down the American flag everywhere
upon the sea and scuttling hundreds
of American ships. He is hoisting
the flags Of various foreign powers
in every ocean, and presenting to
foreign steamship owner annually
more than 900, 1000 900 Of American
dollars. He is taking this money
from the pockets Of American citi-
zens and from American banks and
placing 1t in the pockets OF
Frenchmen, Englishmen, and ItAl-
ians, or depositing It in the banks
of Tokyo, Stockholm, London, Lis
bon and Paris. This is the bold
statement of the truth!
ScuttlinG Policy Fatal.
The result Of this scuttling policy
toward our merchant marine win
be peculiarly fatal in the Pacific.
Every statesman knows that the Pa

battle-ground of the world in the
