T LLOYD GEORGE seems honestly
l. determined both to preserve the
peace of Europe and to satisfy the
trade demands of the British, which
latter are thus expressed by Lord
Chancellor Birkenhead: 'England's
desperate economic condition, her de,
pendence upon world trade as the only
means of sustaining her life blood,
make imperative the resumption of po-
litical and commercial relations with
soviet Russia-whatever the charac-
ter of the government the Russians
choose to adopt" In his eagerness for
these results, ana perhaps coerced by
political conditions at home, the pre-
mier lays ON France the blame for the
threatened failure of the conference; ;
and ne is yolubly supported in that by
the English financial expert" John
Maynard Keyes, who, according TO the
Paris press. is in the pay of group Of
Berlin bankers. At this distance one
is rather inclined to accept the view
Of the New York Tribune, which says:
"The Francophobes and the Teuto-
philes are the real factor threatening
disruption at Genoa"
Berlin dispatches say diplomatic re-
latiOns between Germany and Russia
will be resumed at once. Prof A.

SHIP SUBSIDY IS
URGENTLY PUSHED
BILLS CHANCES INCREASED BY
EFFORTS OF THE LITTLE
NAVY" MEN IN CONGRESS.
NAVAL MEN WANT 1T PASSED
Merchant Vessels Would Be Most
Useful in Event of War-Presiden
Harding and Lasker Working Hard
for the Measure.
BY EDWARD 3. CLARK

WashingtOn.-If congress in its wis
dom, or more likely unwisdom, shall
cut the United States navy way below
the strength allowed to it by the inter
national conference, the chances for
success of the merchant marine sub
sidy bill are increased. The merchant
ships are good for something besides
the carrying trade. They can be used
for certain purposes in time Of war.
If Warren G. Harding and Albert d.
Lasker can have their way, and they
are working hard to get it, the ship
subsidy bill will be passed at the pres
ent session Of congress. Mr.. Lasker
has been propagandizing in behalf of
the measure, and so has President
Harding. "Propagandlzing" in this
case is an affair of the heart and, as
such, probably can be considered with
In the proprieties.
A good many years of watching
things from the galleries of congress
and Of hearing things in the corridors
of congress confessedly make one
skeptical of the success at the present
session of the effort of the Marion man
and the Chicago man, but there seems
to be something more than an even
chance that a subsidy for the shipping
interests will be provided by the con-
gress Of the United States which now
is sitting. Next winter is not far Off,
as time Is counted.
OF course limitation Is set upon
the building of merchant ships with a
view to converting them into war
ships. However there is nothing to
prevent the merchant fleet when war
breaks out from becoming an auxiliary
Of such waShips as there may be
adoat. They are Indispensable for the
purpose of transporting troops, for
the carrying of shot, shell and high ex-
plosives and other material Of war
fare.

a n AFTERMATH of the West Vir-
n ginia coal field war of 1921, the
trial of nine miners union officials and
members on charges of treason, has
opened in Charles Town. w. Va. The
most prominent Of the defendants are
c. Frank Keeney, president and Frank
Mooney secretary Of district II, For
ty-four others are accused Of treason
and many others Of murder and con-
spiracy, Some Of these have not been
arrested and some have obtained
change of venue. After motions to
uuash the indictments had been denied
the court ruled for separate trials and
William Blizzard, known as general
of the march against Logan" was Sc
lected as the first defendant.

Navy Men for the Subsidy.

1t Is apparent from what navy men
say that they will rejoice If the ship
subsidy bill shall become a law of the
land. They never can look with
equanimity upon the depletion of the
crews Of the warships and on the pass
ing Of the major men Of war, but they
can look on it more placidly If they
know that in the day Of possible war
the country's carriers of peace-time
products can be used to help out such
a navy as Uncle Sam may have.
The United States, in a way, has
tried to run its own merchant marine.
Everybody knows what a mess has
been made of things. Congress is be-
ing told that if subsidy is not grant
ed there will be no merchant marine
at all worthy the name, unless actual
government ownership comes into OPP
eration-and this neither the admins
tration nor congress wants to have
come to pass.
There has been some little surprise
In Washington because Of the seeming
ly intense interest which the President
has taken and is taking in the subsidy
proposal Originally he belonged to
the school of politicians and econo-
mists which did not believe in subsi-
dies Of any kind, although personally
he may have held something Of the
views which he holds today.
The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1922-05-04
Why Harding Wants It.

The fact Is that the President at
this time believes that if the country
does not grant subsidy we will have
no merchant marine worthy of the
name; that it will be impossible to
open new markets and that other coun-
tries which are not hampered by laws
regulating the kind of crews that they
shall employ, the kind Of quarters that
they give them and some other things,
will continue to have the cream of the
trade.
1t would be interesting today If one
could determine definitely just how
much progress has been made in CON
verting individual Middle Westerners
and Southerners to the cause Of the
proposed legislation. Naturally men
whose cities and states will profit di-
rectly and so to speak, usually, by a
subsidy are in favor of the measure,
but there are others from the South
and from the Middle West who still
seem to hold that subsidy legislation
is a scheme Of New England aud other
COuSLWlSe SUITES " bNllClll lHtlllSSlNc9
at the expense of persons who do not
live within smelling distance of salt
water or within hearing distance of
the sound of the waves on the beach.
Friends of the subsidy legislation in
senate and house seem to think that 1t
has more than a fighting chance for
passage at the present session of con-
gress. The trouble is that the con-
gressmen want TO get away as early
as possible, and they know now that
they cannot get away to enter the
campaign within two months Of the
time that the leaders promised them
should be the case. Therefore, If sub
sldy does not get into position to re-
ceive direct legislative attention until,
say July, 1t probably Is all off for this
session However, there is always an
other day, and that day will be next
winter

president HARDING is working
L out a plan for settling the coal
strike and preventing future strikes,
and which he hopes will serve to sta
Billie the industry. Details of the
scheme have not been given out, but
it IS known that it does not include
federal supervision of the coal indus
try, but provides for standing com
mission empowered to deal with wage
issues and other disputes MS they arise.
FEDERAL aid for the upbuildlng
Il and development of the American
merchant marine Is given approval by
the American Farm Bureau federation,
which has wired President Harding as
follows:
"While opposed to any subsidy on
principle, we realize the necessity for
developing the American merchant ma
rine as naval auxiliary and as an
agent in the development of foreign
trade. We approve aid temporarily
until our flag can be established on
the high seas, but no longer Subsidies,
like tariffs, should be flexible, and not
continue after industry becomes self
supporting. If subsidy be supported
on naval grounds it is essential that
merchant ships be available and used
for training of naval reserves"
Just now our merchant marine Is
engaged in a little rate war with the
Lamport 4 Holt line Of Great Britain,
which slashed passenger rates TO
South America Chairman Lasker of
the shipping board Immediately made
cut below the Lamport & Holt rate
and told that firm he was in the fight

dence Of the unusually rapid growth
of the city. Each year the board OF
education has found it more diff
cut to operate on the amount recclv-
ed from the 6 mills school tax. How
ever, the citizens of Waycross, see
ing that something had to be done
quickly for the relief Of the schools
to prevent their being closed Tor tAt
rest of 1922, have raised over
half Of the $4,000 required, IN tn
last few days.
Since 1912 the board Of education
has been forced to borrow additional
funds to operate. For 1912 the de-
felt was S22.79; for 1918 $1,283.59;

II is q curious thing that when men
and women select their life partners they
seldom pick out their ideals. They choose
some more or less faulty individual with
an idea of making him or her over accord

a husband or wife should be.
Every day we see quiet scholarly men
marrying silly, little flappers who never
read anything but one of the Six Best
Sellers, and only one at that. We see
poor young men, who have their way
to make in the world, marrying girls
who have been raised in the lap of
luxury and are selfish and spoiled and
idle and lazy. We see stingy men marry
ing fashion plates, whose whole aim in
existence is to be the first to exploit
q new mode, and who believe that the
natural destination of every dollar is the
cash register of the dressmaker and
milliner.
And we see pious women marrying
rakes. Educated women marrying
illiterate men. Refined, dainty women
