Merchant Marine Needs Help
By lanes T. Williams, Jr.

in foreign ports only when our
naval vessels happened to cruise
abroad.
When the great maritime
powers of Europe began TO fight
and their merchant ships be.
came the targets for enemy SUBJ
marine attacks and capture,
American goods rotted on the
docks. Freight rates scared.
Southern farmers, accustomed
to exporting a great part OF
their cotton crop, saw the lint
back up on their hands. Its
price sank lower and lower.
Then the South appealed to the
families of the nation to "buy
a bale of cotton" and save the
Southern farmers from the
emergency caused by the lack
of American ships to carry the
export cotton surplus safely
abroad.
AS a result of that bitter ex-
perience and of the subsequent
Well-nigh disastrous delay in
moving our American Expedi-
tionary Force across the At
lantic when we entered the
war, this country had to build
a three -billion-dollar war fleet.
Lloyd George cried, Give us
ships and yet more ships" The
ships were built without stint
to help win the war.
1t was the fact that Ameri-
cans could build ships faster
than Germany could sink them
that assured the Allies of un-
limited reserves of men and
ammunition paid for by Ameri-
can loans-yet unpaid-tl4at
was such a decisive factor in
winning the war for the Allies.
National Policy
For decade the United
States paltered with the problem
of permanent shipping policy,
incurring, meantime, vast losses
in Government operation. Then
the Jones-White act, which was
supported by both Republicans
and Democrats in Congress, es-
tablished a national shipping
policy, which declared it to be
necessary" that the United
States have merchant marine
adequate to carry the greater
part of our foreign commerce
and to serve as military and
naval auxiliary in time of war
or national emergency.
All American farmers have good
reason to remember the lessons
of the periIouS "shipleSs Amer
ica" which Secretary Wallace
would bring back. Even today
British ships carry approx
mately one third of the foreign
trade of the American people,
as much as is borne in the ships
of our own merchant marine.
The rest is carried by other for
eign flag ships, Japanese, Ger
man, Scandinavian, French, and
Italian, all of which are heavily
subsidized by their respective
governments.
If Secretary Wallace is per-
mitted to "plow under" the
American Merchant Marine, the
Stars and Stripes will again dis
appear from the Seven Seas, and
the Nation which produces
nearly so per cent of the worlds
total production will be without
its own delivery wagons in for
eign trade

Infantile PARALYSIS

been discovered for of the most dreaded diseases of
childhood -infantile paralysis

he has perfected successful vaccine against the infection
AS described by Dr. Kolmer, the vaccine is injected
under the skin like typhoid dphthera vaccines and
three treatments at weekly intervals considered suf

Immunization he says takes place six weeks after the
last in nection, and should continue through life.
If DR.. Kolmers claims prove to be justified he will
have removed of the worst to human health

do except to wait for the con-
sultation, but that was not de-
layed. Amy and her father stood
in the hall while the three mer.
were in the sickroom. Doctor
Holzmann, senior of the group,
spoke for them when they came
out. Everything is being done
that can be done, and everything
that is being done is the right
thing. Your husband has a fight

The nurses, luckily, are specially
skillful and conscientious. l have

of all doctors-prepared to leave.

"There may be a change, eth

"and there's nothing more any
one can do for him-nothing at
all?"

mann, "but there is nothing"
Doctor Gavin remained for a mo-
ment as the others left. "I'm COM

Amy. "And l suggest that you
get some rest and sleep"

said Professor Lowe. "Why don't

saw it in his eyes, heard it in

with courage. "I'il go speak to

The maids were, as her father
had said, decent, but disgruntl-
ed. "Them nurses come out here
and order us around as if we was

good at shopping, your mother
says" He bent to kiss her and
she chung to him for "a moment.
Then she was left once more alone
with her fears.
After a little she could not sit
still, so she began to work at the
disordered room, picking up pa
pers from the floor, pulling the
odd looking pieces of furniture in
to what seemed their usual posi-
tions, settling books on the shelves
and shaking cushions. At last she
came to James desk, which was
in the chaos it's owner had left
it. the drawers half open, the top
covered with tossed-about litter
of their contents. Amy touched it
gingerly, hating it, it seemed so
much piece of Jane herself. But
she forced herself to lay the pa
pers and notebooks and letters to-
gether, and closed everything out
of sight.
Just as she had finished with
this the cook came in, and would
Mrs. Jackson please tell her about
the orders. There must, she said,
be supper for the day nurses and
midnight lunch for the nurses
who came on at night. "And
M'ree and l talked it over" added
the woman, "and we don't like the
idea of you going out for meals.
We want to serve your meals,
too"
Even to be near Howard con-
stantly Amy felt she would not
eat in James home. you're very
thoughtful" she said, "but my ia
Their has made arrangements out

my husband is better and knows
me -. l do appreciate your kind
ness"
Moving about, being obliged to
talk and think of practical things,
had brought her back to a more
normal state and now she began
to feel the heavy fatigue of all
she had gone through. When Pro-
lessor Lowe returned she was
asleep, crumpled on James white
couch with one of James black
and white pillows under her
head. He tried not to disturb her,
but she wakened with start. He
had a package in his hand.
