 The arrival at Camp Tourney, last week of thirteen new enroliees from. Fort H. G. Wright brought the number of enroilees at the camp to 260. Although this num- bber is ten more than the normal strength of this camp, no difficulty was encountered in adequately caring for them.

Shipping Needs Aid
By James T. Williams, T.

Time was when only the
coastal States of the Union
enthuSed over the building up
of an American merchant ma
rine commensurate with the
economic and defense needs of
a great nation. This time has
passed.
From the Mississippi Valley
Association, the membership of
which includes representatives
of agriculture. commerce and
industry in % States in the
Valley, Congress has just re-
ceived a whole-hearted appeal
for an adequate merchant ma
rine.
This association, speaking for
% States in the Middle West,
declares in a resolution adopted
at it's last convention:
"A United States merchant
marine is essential to the main
tenance and expansion of the
foreign commerce Of the United
States and to our national
security. Government aid Is
necessary for its continuance
and growth.
shipping is an industry
that requires longe-range' plan
ming. The ship lines aided
must have assurance Of con-
tinuity of aid that essential
services can be not only main
tained, but further developed
as the national interests re.
quire."
SAME GROUP
AS a witness before the
House Committee on the Mer-
chant Marine a representative
of the Mississippi Valley Asso-
citation gave testimony in
direct conflict with the little
group of politicians in the
Senate who, not content with
having nearly wrecked Ameri-
can Air Transport last year,
are now threatening to tor
pedo the American Merchant
Marine by attempting to re-
peal existing laws for it's aid
and to cancel all contracts
under these laws which have
helped to revive American
shipping.
This witness. speaking for
the patriotic people of the
Middle West, said:
1--WE in the interior are be-
coming more and more con-
vinced that an American Mer-
chant Marine is essential, both
for our national defense and
for the promotion Of our
foreign commerce. We are
further convinced that if Amer
lean ships are to compete on
the seas with foreign flag ships
we must give them government
aid sufficient to enable them
to overcome the handicapS
under which they must labor"
To be effective Federal aid
for American shipping. as
President Roosevelt said in his
recent message on the subject,
must cover, first, the difference
in the cost of building ships;
second, the difference in the
cost of operating ships; and
The Washington times., 1935-03-29

third, allowance must be made
in the measure of Federal aid
extended for "the liberal sub
sides that many foreign gov.
ernmentS provide for their
shipping"
The bulk of the hostility in
Congress to the up-building Of
the Merchant Marine comes
from a small group of States
the political life of which has
long been dominated by the
railroads. Yet the railroads Of
this country have been more
heavily subsidized by the Gov
ernment than have any other
enterprises.
According to the Interstate
Commerce Commission the total
subsidies for the railroads which
the Government has granted
from the beginning, in land
grants and in other forms of
assistance, amounts to $914,-
$4,000. The Land office
records show that the railroads
have patented 17,294,736 acres
of land grant lands during the
past 20 years.
Nor is this the only subsidy
granted to domestic commerce
by the Government. To i'm
prove the Great Lakes the
records of the War Department
show that the Government has
already expended over the years
$213, ,203,000 Another $672,-
$4,000 has gone to improve our
sea coast harbors. Another
$598, 100000 has been spent to
improve our inland rivers. To
build the Panama Canal the
Government expended 39,200,-
900. Since 1915. $2,150,000,000
has been spent for the building
of roads and highways. The
Government subsidy last year
on second class mail amounted
$77,757,000 and in the same
year on parcel post the subsidy
totaled $19,957, 900.
ESSENTIAL TO LIFE
A government which for years
and years has been SubSidiZing
domestic commerce to the ex-
tent Of thousands of millions
of dollars is now under attack
by a small group in Congress
for granting Federal aid to
the extent of only $27,000.000
annually to aid the upbuilding
of American shipping in over.
seas commerce.
1t is easy to see why the
foreign competitors of American
shipping and the foreign gov.
ernmentS that subSidize these
foreign competitors should wish
to mislead the American people
regarding their own merchant
fleet and to stampede the
American Congress into reduc-
ton or withdrawal Of Federal
aid for American shipping. But
what defense has Senator or
Representative in a Congress
calling itself American for at
tempting to destroy the Ameri-
ican Merchant Marine by de-
priving it of Federal aid essen
tial to it's life?

a radical step as it changes the
center of activity from the body
to the head, but, with things
going as they are, it is just as
well to be prepared.
In case my plan goes through,
it will be necessary to devise
some method of hearing while
the inner ear is breaking up
the food particles. This can
be done by plugging into the
teeth and picking up the sound
waves from there.
Once the food is broken up,
it can be blown through a
portable esophagus into the sto-
