Washington.--A plea that American
ships cannot justly be prevented from
serving liquor on the high seas under
the prohibition laws Is set forth in
a brief filed in the Supreme Court by
The international Mercantile Marine
in support Of its appeal from the in.

The brief also declares II is not

South. Mr.. Fords offer provides thar
the Government shall complete the
Wilson Dam and the rest of the plant,
and his interfering himself into the
proposition has had no real effect up
on the situation except to tie up the
work and prevent Congress from 60
ing ahead with the completion OF this
most important industrial enterprise.
The Economic Contest
The railroads uttered piercing yell
of protest when huge reductions in
freight rates were recently ordered.
There followed a reduction in wages
of thousands of railroad employees
and there was Immediately another
yell accompanied by threats OF
strike. Then ensued quiet! The whole
transaction is only another chapter in
the economic contest that is designed
Ito lower all values. The same method
that shows up so conspicuously in the
railroad situation is operating in every
other phase of economic life. By its
progress we trace the reason tor
cheaper clothing, cheaper food, and re-
duction in most of our expenses. 1t is
1.-The process which President Harding
lrefers to as "normalcy.'

nish the farmer free seed to plant the
next crop. That is subsidy to meet
an emergency such as shipping faces
today"
Mr.. Howard said it was entirely
possible if the ship subsidy act was
passed, that the farmers organization
would buy ships to complete the mar
keting of crops by their own grain
and cotton selling agencies. In such
case, the American farmer becomes
the American ship owner. In con-
clusion he said America should be full
ly prepared to enter the European
markets with its own ships carrying
| its own surplus products.
Why, in the face of all this sound
common sense. isn't that measure en-
acted into law?
