velopment follows another until in
addition to covering the original
premise the argument is made to EN-
brace a multitude of its third and
fourth cousins Like patent medi-
cines, which are claimed to cure
everything from hang-nails to hyste-
ria. arguments frequently are applied
to a number of more or less closely
related points as we'll as the main
issue. And, as in the case Of patent
medicines, the gullible adopt them as
cure-alls, with inaccurate results.
The same tendency holds with re-
gard to economics. Economic the
cries, like arguments, are specific
medicines, not panaceas. What ap-
plies in one case has no curative
powers in another, and any general
employment of specific remedies,
medicinal or economic, must produce
debatable results.
One Of the most plausible argu-
ments used in advocating large
United States merchant marine is
the delivery wagon" argument It ls
pointed out that department stores
do not entrust their competitors with
the delivery Of their goods. They
own and operate their OWL trucks to
insure prompt and safe delivery and
to eliminate the possibility of dis
elimination in service. The advo.
Gates Of large merchant marine for
this country call attention to the
analogy OF the United States to the
department store and support the
theory that all Of our delivery ships
should be American-owned. If this
were the case, they say, American
goods would be sure to receive prompt
delivery, and discrimination in favor
OF foreign shipments would be i'm
possible. This argument from anal
ogy is good, but it does not apply
with equal force to all parts of our
merchant marine.
In considering the shipping neces-
sary to carry our trade, it is essential
to recognize that the oil imported and
the bulky raw materials exported
must be considered separately. Crude
oil moves in specialized vessels which
are an integral part of very profit.
able business. The exports of heavy
raw materials go largely in tramp
ships, a~type of service this country
will find 1t difficult to develop.
These raw materials normally move

nAPPER Jimmy Walker is having
- the time of his life in Rome. The en-
thusiasm with which he was received
in Dublin pales into insignificance
compared with the pomp and splendor
of Mussolini's reception in honor of
the Tammany Fascist mayor of New
York. Whether Walker visited Rome
in order to help cinch the Italian vote
for Tammany or to popularize Fas-
cism with the American masses, is not
clear. That Walker, judged even by
the dwarfish standards of average po-
litical intelligence, is an intellectual
gnat, no one will deny. But this men
tai molecule is rendering better serv-
ice to capitalism in singing the praises
Of the cutthroat Mussolini and his
Fascist regime than all the paid prop
agandists that Benito ever sent to
his country.
