Help Merchant Marine
Bu James T. Williams, T.

From the time of George
Washington until the present,
the maintenance of an Ameri-
can merchant marine, equal to
the two-fold tasks of American
defense and American COM
merce, has been regarded as an
absolute necessity.
Thomas jefferson put the
case clearly when he said:
"The marketing Of our pro-
ductiOns will be at the mercy Of
any nation which has possessed
itself exclusively Of the means
Of carrying them; and our pol
icy may be influenced by those
who command our commerce"
Theodore Roosevelt, woodrow
Wilson and Calvin Coolidge diff
fered upon many public ques.
tions, but upon the question Of
building up a successful Ameri'
can merchant marine they were
in complete agreement.
INDISPENSABLE
"TO the spread Of our trade
in peace and the defense OF
our flag in war;" said ROOse-
welt, "a great and prosperous
merchant marine is indispensa-
ble."
1--WE have grossly erred in the
way in which we have stunted
and hindered the development
of our merchant marine. 1t is
high time we repaired our mis-
take and resumed our COM
mercial independence on the
sea-" Wilson stated.
"The maintenance Of a mer-
chant marine" declared Cool
idge, sis of the utmost impOr-
tance for national defense and
the service of our commerce"
Many Senators and Repre-"
sentatives in Congress share
these sentiments, but not all
are willing to suit "the action
to the word"
Before the Congress is a re-
port of a recent study made by
a so-called "Interdepartmental
Committee on Shipping Policy"
which was appointed last June.
This committee came to the
conclusion that the two main
obstacles to the growth and
development of our merchant
marine today are:
First, lack of continuity Of
our Merchant Marine policy for

large number insured that
every kind of a plum the world
afforded would appear. When
the seedlings were well started,
buds by the tens of thousands
were transferred among the
trees by grating.
In due time, thousands OF diff
ferent kinds of plums appeared.
Some had one or two OF the
desired qualities. Many were
worthless. None met all the
requirements.
More budding, cross pollinat-
ing and grating were done.
Certain thin, sickly trees bore
a few fine, firm, delicious
plams. Certain vigorous trees
bore quantities of small, sour
and unattractive plums.
Other trees bore huge guam
titles of large, beautiful fruit
that tasted flat and were most
ly pit.
Still others bore juicy, delici'
ous smelling and tasting fruit
that was mottled, dirty looking
and repulsive.
NEW LIFE FORM
The next season more selec-
tive budding and cross pollinat"
ing brought better combina-
tions. Again, the most favor
able characteristics were Sc
lected and crossed.
After several seasons 20 trees
out of the $4,000 were bearing
plums such as the world had
never seen. Firm. large, juicy,
small pitted, luscious fruit,
grown on healthy trees, all Of
which ripened simultaneously,
which is practical necessity
if a crop is to be profitable.
But the job was not finished.
It was necessary to provide
against reversion or a return to
ancestral inferior qualities.
Crossing the select was con-
tinued for several more seasons.
After many repetitions there
were brought into existence
plum trees which will never re-
vert, and which will yield large
quantities of fruit to suit the
most exacting taste and meet
merchandising requirements as
we'll.

In the World of Science
Bv Hiram Percy Maxim

Here we have an impressive
example Of man excelling any,
thing Nature had been able to
do. An entirely new form of life
was created.
BY exercising his intelligence,
man had taken command Of Ma
ture, bringing into the world
living things to meet definite,
predetermined specifications.
Man has not stopped at
plums. New fruits, vegetables,
flowers and domesticated ami
mails have also been created. The
presence on earth of these new
forms of life is the direct re-
suit of controlled breeding, in"
stead of haphazard breeding.
Nature alone can perform the
functions of breeding, but ma
ture exerts no intelligent con-
troll.
When Nature and man join
hands there appears to be no
limit to what can be produced.
STILL HAPHAZARD
This creating of new life
forms has come to be an i'm
portant science. The modern
bouquet of flowers, the vege"
tables on our modern tables,
our milch cows--veritable mass
production machines for turn
ing out milk and butter fat
our m hanica al incubators
Matching chickens by the 1Ail-
lions, our modern hog, distorted
by food fat beyond all SEM
blance of his wild ancestors,
our sleek race horses, clumsy
draft horses, our intelligent
polo ponies, our specialized
hunting, pointing and scent
following dogs, are examples Of
mans scientific handiwork.
They lead the thinking mind
to wondering what man will
lead Nature to produce in the
future.
There is one creature to
which man dares. not apply
the science of controlled breed
ing. It is himself.
Despite all the wonderful
things which can be accom-
plished by controlled breeding,
he cannot bring himself to con-
troll his own kind. It remains
as haphazard as that of the
wild creatures.
In this country we have
every variety of human the
world affords. Every charac"
teristic is available. If, like
Burbank, we could interbreed
the good and eliminate the
bad, re would in time have
men and women as superior
to us of today as Burbank's
plumS are superior to their
haphazard ancestors
We would all be competent,
honest, healthy and beautiful
just like Burbank'S plums.

sufficient number Of years.
Second, insufficient Admin
stratiOn of existing shipping
laws.
If the Congress agrees with
this diagnosis, the last thing
it will be willing to do will be
to repeal or drastically revise
the Jones.White act of 1928,
which establishes that con.
tinuity of Merchant Marine
policy which is so sorely needed.
This legislation was not
hastily enacted. 1t was not q
mere experiment. 1t embodied
the lessons of years of expert
ence! It applied the lessons Of
these experiences-the expert
ences of the United States and
of the other great maritime
powers of the world to the con-
ditions existing in the United
States and in the world at the
time this law was put on the
statute books.
The operation of this law, it
is generally admitted, has de.
veloped some defects, the most
important of which involve the
administration of the law.
These defects can be corrected
by a few perfecting amendments
dictated by the operation of the
law since 1928, and by a better
administration of its main pro-
visions.
CONTINUITY
If Congress adopts this course
it will give continuity to our
Merchant Marine policy over a
period of years. And if the ad-
ministration is willing to cooper
ate with the Congress in con-
serving this continuity, it will
improve the administration of
the Jones-White act by putting
a stop to the political exploita-
tion of our Merchant Marine be-
fore it is overtaken by the same
disaster which has nearly
wrecked American Air Trans.
port.
The way to wreck the Ameri-
can Merchant Marine is to re-
peal the Jones-White act and
cancel all contracts made under
it at the dictation of the same
politicians who brought about
the cancellation Of American
air mail contracts.
