CORRECT THE INJUSTICE.

A patent injustice was done army
officers who retired prior to the Pay
Act bill of June 10, 1922, which
Congress should remedy.
Contrary to previous legislation
which had always treated retired
officers of equal rank and length Of
service, regardless of time of re-
tirement, with equality, this bill dis
eliminated against officers retired
before its passage. An officers who
retired the day after the bill became
law Jared twenty per cent. better
than one retired before passage, no
matter how meritorious his service.
The purpose of the law was to en-
able retired officers to meet the in
creased cost of living, a condition
which pressed on nobody more
harshly than on old and feeble Of
ficers who left the service prior to
enactment OF this measure.
The average municipality pro-
tects its police department from this
sort Of injustice, and the United
States Government should see TO
4 that Il Is corrected ia relation 10,

OUR MARINE PROBLEM.

The shipping problem so far as
the United States is concerned is
still an unsolved problem. Every
good American wants Uncle Sam
to have a merchant marine, flying
the red, white and blue, but there
are many theories as to how this
should be brought about. One of
these theories which deserves care
full consideration is the theory of
protection. Isn't it likely that the
principle of protection, applied to
our merchant ships, might be as eff
fective in maintaining them as the
protective tariff has maintained our
industries?
Those who favor assistance tc our
merchant marine through the pro-
tective tariff say that this can be
effectively brought about not only
without cost but really with profit
to the Government through the adj
ditional revenue available.
In the early days American ships
were given adequate protection be-
cause a higher duty was charged on
imports coming to America in for
eign ships than in American ships.
To the extent that foreign ships
were employed in our trans-oceanic
trade their cargoes paid a higher
duty at our Custom Houses. Under
this system the United States be-
came one Of the maritime powers Of
the world. Our ships were better II
every way than the ships of Other
nations and the morale OF the sea
men was high.
All recent attempts to give this
protection to American ships have
been frustrated in Congress. For
eign nations with large merchant
marines of course oppose this grant
ing of favors to American ships,
just as they oppose our protective
policy as a whole. But there is nc
reason why Americans should OPP
pose it or should permit foreign
shipping interests and their allies to
block it.
In the good old days when the
principle Of protection was applied
to our American merchant marine,
American ships carried four-hfths
of our foreign trade. Other nations
of course, tried to retaliate, but our
ships got four-ifths of the Ameri-
can business just the same. When
the principle was abandoned our
merchant marine began to anguish
and it has been languishing ever
since. The plan of the protectionists
is at least worthy of serious con-
sideration.
