U. S. AND SHIPPING

Several distinguished Britishers
connected with shipping have public
~ expressed an opinion to the effect
that the United States should aban-
feet. In this respect they are in ac-
cord with their wishes. likewise in
accord with the views advanced by
some Americans, whose exact wishes
are not quite clear.
y special writer for THE Liverpool
journal of Commerce" gravely de-
clares that thu United States never
can become a real rival OF Great
Britain but that Germany should be
feared Conti- ing he adds:
1T has been seen that the United
States was previously a shipping ma
ton OF no mean order, but owing to
excessive cost of building, and in all
probability the absence Of the tradi-
tioual instinct and experience which
have made this country prominent in
maritime affairs, she declined. The
same factors hold good today.
"Thc position she has gained in the
maritime world is an unnatural one;
L. was evolved through force ma jeure
the creation of an enormous mari
time feet without the need for it for
her own use. It has not risen and
developed through the slow process
OF ordinary economic laws, and being
an abnormally created organization it
will have TO struggle for existence
amid conditions to which it is by no
means suited. Moreover. the very
Efforts which the United States Ship
ping Board is making through the
application Of the impossible provi-
aians OF tho Jones act and the sub
sides bill are destined to defeat their
own obioct-for protection of such a
yirulcnt character must of necessity
react upon its promoters. I believe.
therefore, that as the time goes on
these frantic efforts of the United
States shipping legislators to bolster
up thcir mercantile marine by these
ouack remedies will end in gradual
