otuSi " INSURE tne development
of our infant industries, America
Adopted system of high tariffs for
the product of factory, mine, and
farm alike. Thus; American ships
had to be built by the highest paid Ia.
Dor in the world and operated by
crews receiving high wages.
None would have American stan.
dards of living lower than they are !;
but the insurmountable handicap
caused thereby to American shipping
built and operated by protected labor
in competition whit foreign. ships is
obvious.
Thus, briefly outlined, is the his
torical background of the American
merchant marine in 1914, when the
world war began. At that time
America possessed in all the seas of
the world u total of fifteen passen-
ger and combination passenger and
cargo ships, compared to something
over $50 for Great Britain.
Pigmy Compared to Britain
We had a total of all types of sea
going steel and iron ships OF ,00O,-
900 gross tons, compared to ls,0O0,-
900 gross tons for Great Britain, ex-
elusive of her colonies.

RISE AND FALL
OF SEA POWER
in AMERICA
1t Was at Its Peak at Begin.
ming of Civil War in 1861
ALBERT d. LASKER. Chairman
u. s. Shipping Board

The first act passed by the Ameri-
can congress was one that made the
tariffs lower on goods when shipped
in American bottoms than when ship
ped under foreign flags. This was
done to encourage American ship
ping.
From the time OF the union of our
original thirteen coastal states until
the civil war one of the leading in
dustries in America was shipping.
Through our superior ability in the
construction of ships and the prox

OF that period constitute a proud page
III the history of the republic. Our
clippIr fleet, made up OF the fastest
sailing ships the world ever knew, re-
main Immortality sung in the words OF
our poe,s.
BY 1873, through treaties, the
policy Of discrimination preferential
tariffs, and similar legislation came to
an end. Today the United States has
something over 100 commercial treat /.
les forbidding such practices.
Sea Power at lts Height
Our sea power. as il relates 10 the
merchant marine. reached its height
al the time OF the civil war in 1861.
BY the close of that war we had lost
over u million gross tons of the five
and one.half million gross tons with
which we entered the war.
Great Britain's close connection
with the south, because OF its need OF
cotton, is of course n historical fact.
Our civil war weakened Americas
sea competition and the opportunity
thus created was eagerly seized by
Grea, Britain. We cannot quarrel
with Rrita;n for bo, ,tt;t,jo. !, as
from her national standpoint, a prop
tr one. But the fact remains that
while the civil war welded the United
States together on land, it marked
NAbtiiSA pEaGIlCAl disappearance
from the seas for over half century.
However, there were several major
factors that contributed to our will
ingness to neglect our merchant ma.
rine after the close of the civil war,
Among these was the development
Of our rich central and far west,
which had really begun with the find.

but capital found such better oppor-
,unity for profit in the development
Of our rich empire than in maritime
fields that, both from the standnoint
of men and money, America turned

ment.
AT the same time the iron ship was
perfected. In those days America
was not in position to build iron
ships in competition with Great Brit
ain, where coal and iron ore lay prac-
tcaily ut seaboard, where the ships
were constructed. We had not then
as yet developed our great iron indus
try, which followed later.

There is a great increase in the
American apple crop this year
over 1921 but in the Pacific
northwest the yield is lighter than
last year
The total apple crop of the Uni
ted States averaged 76.4 per cent
of normal on August /, giving
promise of a production of 201, Z
726,000 bushels against 9S,097,-
600 bushels in 1921. The CONNER
cial apple crop of the country was
6S.9 per cent of normal on August
and gave promise of crop of
33, 100000 barrels.
The dry season will likely re-
suit in small sized fruit in oregon,
except where irrigation is prac-
ticed. A month ago F. l.. Kent,
the government statistician in
Oregon, estimated the commercial
apple crop of the state at 5645
carloads, and weather conditions
in July will quite likely reduce
the crop.
