Merchant MARINE
NJ BREACH W|DENED
House Bill Opposes That in
Senate by Favoring Pri-
vate Operation.


The breach between the two houses
OF. Congress over methods of strength
Aning and maintaining the American
merchant marine has widencd per-
ceptibly with the introduction IN the
House of bill designed TO promote
private operation of the merchant fleet
In contrast to the Jones bill passed by
the Senate contemplating continued
Government control.
The House measure, sponsored by
Chairman White of the merchant ma
rine committee, proceeds upon the
assumption. he said. that the American
people prefer private operation ana are
willing to pay reasonable amounts" to
bring 1t about and that the Government
must Offset existing original cost and
operating differentials against the
American ship in foreign trade
Would Liberalize Loan Funds.
Whites measure proposed the lib
eralization of the construction loan
funds and would empower the Shipping
Board TO contract for private MAIN
tenance of lines handling American
agricultural and industrial products at
price equal to present operating
losses 1t would authorize the POST
master General TO contract for carry
ulk lIlS Nlhil On StaOudtSQ SGstiG,
based primarily upon speed" Vessels
built TO maintain maximum rates for
speed would have 10 be approved by the
Secretary of the Navy as possible
auxiliary ships in war.
A fourth provision was designed to
meet higher wages and subsistence
standards on American ships" and to
build up a naval reserve.
Would Get Navy Pay.
Men in the Naval Reserve in active
merchant marine service would be paid
by the Navy at a rate not exceeding
Six and one-half months base pay of
corresponding ranks in the Regular
Navy. The measure also would eStab-
1ish an insurance fund TO provide a
lower rate for American vessels.
White in a statement explaining the
bill made no reference to its having
administration approval. He declared
that while the measure was designed to
foster private operation. it also "ex-
pressly reafirms" the authority of the
board to maintain routes, The bill diff
fers materially from the Jones measure
passed by the Senate, which would re-
qu!re unanimous approval by the board
to sell any ship line. The Jones bill
also contemplates reconditioning of the
present merchant feet. compared with
Whites proposal to build new fast ships
as naval auxiliary reserves.

Industry Changes Pace
BY BRUCE CATION =

1t hasn't been such long time since the surest
way for politician writer to gain popular favor
was to get up in meeting and attack "the trusts"
The word trust" was used, rather loosely, to
include any and all business organizations larger
than the small manufacturing plant the average
department store There a general public feel
ing that big business organizations by very reason
of their bigneSs, dangerous to the Republic.
Now, however, Edward A. Ffene, well-known Bos-
ton merchant declares that the small business every
where in the United States, is doomed. 1t can sur
Vive, he asserts, only by becoming large one Aner-
in his view no longer has place for the small
concern
few years ago such remarks would have created
furore Liberal journals and statesmen every
where would have depored and contradicted. We
would have been shown, from high mountain, the
stately ediice of our nation tottering to a fall.
Yet today these statements pass almost unheeded.
We have ceased to distruSt the big banker and the
big ndustrialiSt; instead, coming to look on
them leaders,.
We have accepted business prosperity as the base
of our civilization, to speak. We have learned
that it is not the politician with his promises Of
glittering reform who make conditions more
comfortable and pleasing for u.s. but the industriast
For industry itself has changed front No longer
does an enlightened manufacturer seek to hammer
down wages and boost prices to the limit Instead,
he is raising wages and lowering prices He is giving
us things that had before; looping hours
OF drudgery off lives making the conditions of our
existence easier and more pleasant
To be sure, there are men who danger even
in this They protest that mentally and spiritually
we are becoming ensaVed; that we are attempting to
live by bread alone; that our prosperity is improving
our bodies but deadening our minds.
But such men see only side of the picture.
A worker in vast factory may be only cog in a
machine, whereas his grandfather was an honored
craftsman; yet the modern workman has more money
and more leisure than his grandfather had and with
them he can win greater spiritual development
than his grandfather dreamed Of
The soul rises easiest when the body is freed. Our
dependence on our business leaders is sound. The
path that stretches out before us, nanked by huge
factories great skyscrapers and the other insignia
our culture, is full of promise.

Keeping the Law Lawful

Two outstanding decisions that a lawful act can
not be done in an unlawful manner have just been
made in Colorado-long of the nations battle
grounds in issues involving human rights guaranteed
by the Constitution.
-Four strike leaders, arrested by militiamen with
out warrants and held for weeks without bail, with
out charges and without the privilege of seeing
sell have been ordered released under bail by Fed
eral Judge j. Foster Symes of Denver
At the time, jury sitting at Cripple Creek,
Colo, returned verdict of voluntary manslaughter
against deputy sheriff. who shot to death young
suspected of running liquor. simply because the
lad did not heed shouts to stop his car.
The convicted deputy it developed during test-
mony had trigger finger that, on the
day he killed this boy he also fired on another
liquor suspect
Two other officers, tried with him, were freed on
the grounds that it was not their bullets which in
ficted the fatal wounds.
The of the four strikers was fought out on the
contention that the Governor of Colorado by issuing
an insurrection order could place the militia above
all civil authorities. This contention was based on
ruling by the Supreme Court of Colorado during a
strike than twenty years ago, and had several
times been upheld by State courts during the pres
ent Colorado strike.
Acting on it, courts previously had refused to in
tervene in the cases of strikers held without war
rants charges, even when habeaS corpus action
brought.
Judge SymeS, a highly conservative jurist Of veal
thy family, who vigorously condemned the I. W. w.
and expressed disapproval OF the methods of the
strike leaders brought before him, declared "All
we do is examine the law and give every man
the rights granted to him by the Constitution of the
United States, irrespective of any other thing.
fail a Whe he OIlrtc
recognized the rights of body of militia-or any
body ese-to go around the State and set aside civil
authority without very different order than the
which the attorney general very frankly and
scientiously states is the here"
Judge Symes' strict application of the Bill of
Rights is all the to be commended, because his
personal views, his training and his whole environ
ment were opposed to the cause and the principles
of the in whose behalf he acted.
Prosecution of the deputy convicted at Cripple
Creek was partly made possible by the indignation
of the residents of Woodland Park, little lumber
camp near Cripple Greek.
Although they poor people, laboring in the
mountains for their daily bread, they contributed
quarters, dollars and dollars until they had
raised fund of $500 to hire special prosecutor to
proceed against the three officers accused of Staying
a 21-year-old resident of their community
The prosecution staked its case on the claim that
officers, in making arrest for a misdemeanor and
when they had search warrant could not reck-
leSsly open fire. jury of middle aged miners ur-
held this contention.
A good days work for the cause of human rights
has been done in Colorado.

What Othe7" Editors Think

the official position he occupies
brings to Indiana is deeply re-
Sented. His usefulness as the chief
executive is at an end and his re-
tention of the Office can only
bring distress to everyone con-
cerned, and it will grow more un-
pleasant as time goes on.
Self-respect is necessary to hap
piness, even to the weakest Of per-
sons. This man, who has Secri-
feed his self-respect to save his
freedom, will find that to be
wholly true. The public is a grim
judge, and once fully aroused, as
it seems to be in this case, it does
not rest until the prisoner at its
bar of justice hears the verdict,
and heeds it as we'll.

CoOIidge'S Economy

President Coolidge's econonly
complex manifestS itself in curious
ways.
Only few weeks back he was reS
ported as favorable to committing
the Government to a billion-d dollar
naval program.
Now he is reported as opposed to
the Reed flood control bill because
it involves the expenditure of bill
lion and half.
The Reed bill certainly does COM
prehend a startling venture, but
one which promises quite as tangible
and more immediate returns on the
investment than a billion dollars
worth of submarines and light
cruisers.
Preparedness would be a mockery
of its real intent if it put the Ma
ton in readiness for war that might
not occur for fifty or a hundred
years, while leaving it exposed to
the preventable destruction caused
by its rivers; if it neglected to safe
guard the people against flood and
famine in order that it might have
more money with which to buy
powder and shot.
The Reed bill may not be the best
measure that could be devised, but
flood control is one of the most de-
sirable objects. Shying at the cost
Of flood control on a comprehensive
basis, while willing to approve bill
lion dollars worth of light ships
that are certain to become obsolete
in twenty-five years, does not sound
like craftsmanship.

THE STORY OF CIVILIZATION
Prophet Dies in Midst of Ecstasy


soever falls in battle, his sins are
forgiven; at the day of judgment
his wounds shall be resplendent as
vermilion, and odoriferous as musk;
and the loss of his limbs shall be
supplied by the wings Of angels and
cherubim.'
What a religion for a conqueror!
No wonder Napoleon mourned that
his soldiers were not Mohammedan.
The successors Of Mohammed car
ried on his policy of converting with
the sword, and bettered his instruc-
tion.
The mighty Omar advanced into
Persia and laid low Tin 651 A. d.
the Sassanid dynasty, which had for
four centuries ruled the country so
we'll that when Justinian Gin 529)
closed the pagan schools of the
Roman Empire-not excepting Pla-
to's long-lived Academy-the phil
osophers and scientists of Greece
had taken refuge in great numbers
at the court of the Persian king.
But the Sassanids had spent their
time and wealth in the support Of
architecture and the industrial arts,
to the sinful neglect of war; and
when Omar came he found almost
no resistance.
The Persian leader Harmozan,
having surrendered, was about to be
killed, when he asked respite till he
might drink a cup Of water. BE Of
good cheer" said Omar, handing
him a goblet; your life is safe till
you have drunk this water"
Harmozan dashed the water to the
ground, and Omar, as rigid in honor
as in faith, kept his promise, and
spared his life. The grateful satrap,
impartial among supersititonS, at
once embraced the Moslem faith.

Yelling "Unthinkable"

There is nothing SO valuable in International re-
lations as the ability to look at things with unemo-
tional realism
When Admiral Plunkett made his famous re-
marks about the likelihood of war between the
United States and England he was greeted by per-
feet chorus of disappearing criticism. Many reams
of good paper were ruined to set forth the thesis
that with England is "unthinkable."
Probably it is. But wouldn't it be good idea to
sit down and study the situation at length,
coldy and dispassonatey; and then, if such study
shows that there are possibilities of future conflict,
to devise ways and of reedying the situation?
Wouldn't that be more effective than yelling "un-
thinkable' without stopping to investigate?

Cheaper AirpIaneS

Such pioneers as Hinkler, Lind
bergh, Byrd and a dozen others
have more than convinced the
world that aviation is it's next great
adventure.
What the world now needs is the
means to try it-airplanes that so
far as cost and operation are con-
cerned are available for average
people.
Nothing has been demonstrated
by all these spectacular flights so
vividly as the opportunity for more
inventions. That is not only the
biggest field opened up for am
bilious young men, but probably
the most profitable.
Clarence Chamberlin has shown
good judgment in devoting his at
tention to the development Of small,
easily controlled airplanes.
