and efficiency-orily two of the many
factors which will have to be brought
to bear Upon this country's shipping
business if it is ever to become able to
hold its own in competition with the
most successful maritime nations.
So, voting of millions in subs,."es to
an enterprise which is unable to stand
on its own merit would most likely ie-
suit in augmentation of the sums which
the American people-those who foot
the governments bills-would have to
pay out There would most likely be
two bills, instead OF one, to be paid on
account of the entire Notwithstanding
situation. In addition to the subsidy
money, the American people would have
to provide whatever amounts represented
the profits of Great Britain's shipping
business. In other words, the United
States, instead of paying, in effect only
the British war debt to this country,
would have to add to that total enough
to keep American ships on the seas at all.
All this does not imply that the United
States should withdraw from the carry
ing trade and leave Great Britain, or any
other foreign nation, the commercial mis-
tress of the seas. 1t means simply and
solely that before this country can rea-
sonably hope to build up a crcditablc
merchant marine it must remove. by
natural means, if it can, the handicaps
which give it the disadvantages it has
been suffering in its attempt to COM
pete with Great Britain in this great

THEORY OFFERED AS FACT

Senator Ransdell of Louisiana, presi-
dent of the National Merchant Marine
Association, issued a statement few
days ago in which he asserted that the
United States itself would pay Great
Britain's war debt to this country, as a
result of the failure of Congress to enact
the ship-subsidy bill. The British, he
said, were admitting that this would be
the effect of the measures defeat.
The United States may, in effect,
within the sixty years allowed under the
recently adopted funding plan, pay the
loans it made to Great Britain during
the war. But is there any assurance that
it would not have done so if Congress
had voted millions in gratuities to Ameri-
can ship owners: Senator Rausdell and
other advocates of ship subsidy pre-
sented a mere theory, and arc now
talking as though that theory were an
established fact. One may accept the
forecast that the United States will pay
to the British, within the next sixty
years, enough money in the form Of
ocean freight rates to enable them to
meet their installments on their debt
without drawing upon other sources.
But it requires no little pro-subsidy
prejudice to accept the cause which
Senator Ransdell assigns for that possi-
BILE development.
Opposed to the pro-subsidy theory is
principle that is as old as commercial
intercourse. between nations. Application
Of that principle to Britain and America
brings the conclusion that the granting
OF gratuities to this country's ship own
ers, far from precluding the effect which
Senator Ransdell forecasts, might easily,
if not inevitably, aggravate it.
If conditions are such that American
merchant ships cannot profitably COM
pete with British, would those condi-
tons be removed, or even greatly modi-
| fled, by substituting Of the former OF
by undertaking to support them in any
other artificial way?
The sheer fact that a subsidy was
proposed testifies to the existence oil
conditions unfavorablc to American ship:
i'll competition with British ships. Ever
with a subsidy the former would still
be operating at loss so far as neon,
from actual operation Of the ships woulC
be concerned. And the ship owners
