sion thnn the kaiser's recognition that
America was verify arranging to span
the Atlantic with bridge of ships.
So that il every ship built or then
being built by the government, nvolv-
ing total cost of more than thee
billion dollars, had benc dismantled
or sunk at the wars end, they would
probably have paid for themselves in
the short cut that resulted in the end
ing of the war and in the saving of
men and treasure.
Hasten Return of Prosperity
Happily, while everything else Gre
hted for war purposes has had to be
salvagcd as scrap. Americas war built
merchant marine has been turned in
to a pcace-time asset, thus establish
ing the possibility of turning the
sword into the plowshare. 1t is APP
parent that after the war terminated
the great prosperity America enjoyed
would have been impossible without
the existence OF our government
owned fleet.
America came our of the war
creditor nation, whereas before it
had been debtor nation. Prior to
49,; the maritime nations of the
world, to whom we owed vast sums,
could surely be counted upon to send
their ships to our shores that we
might pay in our products the debts
we owed them.
Today, however, they are the debt
ors. we the creditors; there is not the
same reasons why they should send
their ships for our SURPRISES. More
over, We must compete with them if
we are TO dispose of our surplus prod
ucts in the available markets Of the
world. II is not to be supposed they
will give us those facilities which are
essential to world commerce to en-
able US to compete with them.
Stop Government, Operation
or the l ,i30 steel ships owned by
the government. 9s3 are tied up; the
other i47 the government has been
operating to make sure the American
Mag shall reach every needed port OF
the world. This operation is being
conducted at cash loss of $5u,0Oo,-
Oo0 n year and at the expense Of the
deterioration of the fleet
President Harding and the presen,
Shipping Board aver, because OF rea-
sons to be covered in subsequent arli-
cles, that government operation Of
ships is impossible on the one hand,
and that for America to turn bacl,
and depend ON foreigners for its sea
carriage is unthinkable ON the other
The only alternative is to make il
possible for private American militia
tive to maintain American flag ships
on the seas and to yet the govern
mcnt itself out Of the business of ship
operation.

1914. Americas passenger fleet i'll the
North Atlantic had dwindlcd to the
shameful total of six, TO wit: The
i-'in;and, Kroonland. St. Paul, st.
st. Louis. Philadelphia, and New
York. The aid given them in the way
of postal subsidy by our government
was undoubtedly the reason four of
them were able to continue in service
at tina. date.
In other words, 1914 found us no
longer merchant marine power, but
one utterly dependent on foreign
flags for the carriage of our sur
pluscs: and, of course, we had to pay,
and pay heavily, for the service rem
icred by them.
Fortunately for us, Great Britain
aud its allies. in the prosecution of
the world war, needed all the mate
rails We could give thcri. and there
could give them. aud therefore sent
their ships To our shores in their own
interest.
Lesson to u. s. in Boer War
Perhaps not as fresh in public
memory is the marine experience OF
the Bocr war. This. conducted on II
lesser scale hut greater distance,
required more of Brtain's tonnage
for her own use and less of Americas
materials I, resulted in the serious
cur,ailmcr; OF our industrial line; for
when Britain, on whom we were de-
pciuien; for the greater portion of
our Sea currmec, Withdrew a million
tons of ships from the North Allan
,ic, our farmers and our manufac-
tuners saws their SURPRISES on which
their foreign market depended wait
me vaiuly for ships, until even their
iome the market was destroyed.
immediately upon our entrance in
to the war in 1917 there arose cry
from all the allies, voiced by Lloyd
George, the prime minister Of the
greatest maritime nation Of the
world, for ships, more ships, and
again more ships as the foremost
contribution OF America.
Building to Fill Gap
We all remember the feverish en-
thusiasm with which. through treas
ury drains. shipynrds were created ut
ull available paints, resulting in gov
eminent building OF more than roo
Slips, with more thnn l,u00,000
dcad-wcight tons capacity.
We started to build these ships
