DANGER IN GOVERNMENT

Hypocrisy in government has done
more than anything else to create dis
respect for law. While it may be true
that national morals differ completely
from the code set up for individuals,
the fact remains that the national
hypocrite always must suffer when
the mask is torn off. The United
States stands to-day as the greatest
bootlegger in the world and the apo
theosis of buncome. On the one hand
appropriating money for the punish
ment of individuals trafficking in
liquors, on the other openly selling
booze on American owned ships, the
government presents a spectacle of
humbuggery more dangerous than as
founding, for there is nothing of news
in the disclosure hat American ships
have been selling booze outside the
three-mile limit. This is and has been
always a matter of common knoWl-
edge. The startling development is
giving the information officially to the
public, which has known all about the
condition and winked at the violation
without concern. Shipping men, many
of them supporters of prohibition, al
ways have c%ontended that American
ships cannot hold passenger trade as
against foreign ships If the American
ships are dry, and as the dollar has
been the standard of morality, the re-
suit has been a wet fleet, with AM
forced 40 depend on mouth-to-
fnouth advertising Of the fact that
.sprohibition really had nc meaning for
the American Government if the
blinds could be drawn down.
Dragging the issue into the sunlight
at this time is likely to have a far
reaching effect on the future OF the
American merchant marine. Perhaps
the throwing of the bombshell was
forseen and explains the urgent effort
to obtain a ship subsidy. The issue
should be squarely faced. A dry fleet
is a dead fleet, yet American ships
are necessary to American progress.
While prohibition is the law, the
United States should run dry ships or
no ships. Government violation of its
own laws is a dangerous precedent
for any country to set, and hypo-
critical evasion of the spirit of the
law is no better.
