Member United States ShippipS Board.
twritten expressly for univer1 serVics1
During the recent trip sof myself
and colleagues to the Pacific coast
we found sentiment everywhere
favorable to the proposed Govern
meht aid for merchant shipping.
In fact we found no opposing senti-
-ment. 1t was unanimous. The peo!
pie are beginning to understand the
real meaning of subsidy as applied
to the merchant marine Of the
United States. They are not de-
ceived.
1t was our privilege to address
many commercial and civic bodies
on the Pacific coast, and we DIS
cussed the pending subsidy legisla-
ton. The response to our explana-
ton of the bill was most enthusiasts
tic. ~
Labor leaders. for example, who
at first were disposed to look
askance at the proposed legislatiorf
because as originally drawn 1t did
provide for a percentage. OF Amefl.
can seamen in the crews OF vessels
mat were 10 DeTlelIl NY Tic SupoluJ ,
and omitted some other features
that labor desired, have ehanged
their point of view. These same
leaders are not opposed to bill as it
has come from the House Commits
tee, with the particular matters iH
which they were interested corr
rected.
The prejudice that has existed IN
the minds of the farmers against
ship subsidy legislation is fast be;
ing dispelled. The farmer Is rapidly
learning that the best insurance fot
the marketing of his suplus productt
which controls the price he receives
for all his products. is merchans
marine under the American flag.
The most intelligent farmer lead
ers in the country have been con-
verted to, this proposition, and are
fast spreading the idea among the
rank and file.
We were very much encouraged
to find the receptive mood in which
the representative producers Of the
interior States are now disposed 10
consider the whole merchant marine
question. The people are beginning
to understand that the question Of
restoring the American flag to the
seas is not polit' cal question. Z

U. S. MILK DISTRIBUTION

DR.. John Robertson, health officer
OF Birmingham, England, holds up
to Engiand as a model the American
system of fresh milk distribution,
according to a statement today by

DR.. Robertson spent two years in
this country and has come to the
conclusion, says Consul Herbert c.

generally in England is poor han.
ding on the farm and In transit.
Efforts are made in England, nc

CHINESE RAILROADS
NOW SHOW DEFICIT

PEKING, Sept. 12.-The Ministry
Of Communications, China's national
railroad department, Is making des.
perate efforts to put itself on a
sound basis as the foreign creditors
press for payment. There has been
a constant threat Of interna tionai
Intervention unless something is
done to meet the obligations, which
are now placed at about $500, 900 600
silver. H. 8
The situation Is aggravated by the
fact that the roads are now showing
a constant deficit, thanks to the last
few years Of revolutions and mis-.
management. Three years ago they
were considered one OF the best rail.

though only 5000 miles In all. were
yielding an annual net income Of
$50, 900, 900.
