u. S. SHIPPING
NEEDS STUDIED
BY COPELAND!
Senator Promises End
To Unfair Practices
BY ROBERT A. McGILL

.G.N.S). Thorough study Of
the Maritime Act to eliminate
"disgraceful" labor practices on
American ships, and facilitate the
Merchant Marine construction
program was begun today by
Senator Copeland CD Of New
York, chairman Of the commerce
committee.
Calling for speedy action, Cope.
land, sponsor Of the Maritime
Act, said he will prepare a list Of
far-reaching amendments for
prompt consideration by the
Congress"
FOLLOWS KENNEDY
The majority Of amendments
will consist of those stricken from
the Copeland bill during its con.
sideration in the Senate, and pro.
posalS outlined in the economic
survey Of the Merchant Marine,
by Joseph P. Kennedy, chairman
of the Maritime Commission.
Copeland refrained at this time
from discussing the entire list of
amendments to the act recon,
mended by the Kennedy report.
He admitted, however, the pros.
pect of a spirited fight in the
commerce committee over two
principal suggestions proposed by
the commission. They are con.
Struction of American ships in
foreign yards under certain condi.
tions, and the creation of a mari.
time mediation board.
Copeland said he was mot
sure" both proposals would be
received favorably in the Senate
or House." but added he would
reserve final opinion until they
have been thoroughly discussed
in COMMITTEES"
BUILD SHIPS HERE
IT am of the opinion, how
ever" he added, "SShat under
no condition should we permit
American ships to be con-
structed in foreign yards. It is
our duty to see that our own
shipyards are kept busy and that
our own workers receive the ex-
perience of construction that
will give us an army of skilled
workers in times Of emergency"

mote the interests of agriculture.
In his eighth annual message to
Congress, he said:
cit will not be doubted that
with reference either to indi-
vidual or national welfare, agri.
culture is of prime Importance.
In proportion as nations ad-
vance in population and other
circumstances of maturity, this
truth becomes more apparent,
and renders the cultivation of
soil more and more an object
of publci patronage. Institutions
for promoting it grow up, sup
ported by the public purse; and
to what object can it be dedi-
Gated with greater propriety?'"
George Washington's interest
in agriculture was matched in
later years by that of Thomas
jefferson. But not until 1889,
when Congress appropriated
$1,000 for the Patent Office to
use in the aid of agriculture,
was Washington's proposal car
ried out. Then in the years that
followed, as farmers generally
felt the need for improving their
methods of production, the
movement spread. At last, under
the leadership of Abraham
Lincoln in 1862, more than a
half century after George Wash
ington's message, that move
ment came to fruition. Laws
were passed by Congress estab-
fishing the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture and
providing grants of land to aid
in establishing State colleges Of
agriculture. Now, this week,
the seventy-fifth anniversary of
the founding Of these great in
stitutions is being celebrated at
the nations Capital.
MANY CHANGES
George Washington's own
words, which I have just quoted,
show that he considered agri.
cultural production even in his
time to be much more than a
local matter. Yet many changes
were destined to come that he
could not possibly foresee.
He could not foresee that a
protective tariff policy, adopted
in the beginning to foster in
tant industries, would put agri-
culture at a permanent disad-
vantage. He could not foresee
that mortgages on farm land
would become an important
link to the life insurance policies
of millions of people in cities
and towns. He could not fore
The Washington times., 1937-11-17

see that fixed charges such as
taxes, interest and freight rates
would push thousands Of farm
ers into bankruptcy whenever
the prices Of farm commodities
collapsed.
He could not foresee that
abundant production, instead of
lifting the farmers standard of
living, would sometimes crush
the farmer under the weight of
an unmarketable surplus. He
could not foresee the develop
ment of the great corporations
and labor unions, and how es-
sential it would be for farmers
to unite. He could not foresee
that farm buying power would
be essential to keep city factories
running. He could not foresee
the intricate web of economic
ties that, extending across State
boundaries, would almost COM
pletely Submerge the local
phases of agricultural produc-
ton and make it more than ever
a matter of vital national con.
WOULD HAVE ACTED
Knowing what we do Of
George Washington'S belief in a
National Government strong
enough to cope with the prob
lens Of his time, and his per-
ception of the Importance of
agriculture as the foundation Of
our national life, we can be sure
that if he had lived today he
would have acted boldly to keep
agriculture from going down to
ruin. We can be sure that he
would not have denied to agri-
culture advantages which Gov
ernment has so freely granted to
industry. All his actions indi-
cate that he would have sup
ported farmers in programs Of
the type they have adopted.
Just as he himself shifted from
one-crop tobacco production to
balanced type of farming in orde
to save his soil, it seems almos
certain that he would have favoret
Government action to aid farmer
as a group to bring their farmin
operations into balance.
"And so, as we pay tribute to
George Washington, the first
master farmer let us resolve
that we will be worthy Of his
great example. Let us resolve
that as a nation we will not ne
glect the fertility of our soil or
the integrity of our farm homes.
Let us resolve that, now and al
ways, the great art of husbandry
shall have its rightful place in
our American life"

Chinese Forces Make
Determined Stand

SHANGHAI, Nov. II Q.N.S).
Hurting 10000 reinforcements
into the fray, China suddenly re-
orgnaized her defenses today in a
desperate attempt to halt Japan's
offensive and save Nanking.
The move was launched even as
officials of the central government
began abandoning the menaced
capital for the interior.
TROOPS WELL EQUIPPED
One reliable report said Gen
eralissimo Chang Kai-shek, mill
tary dictator, intended to resign
from his post as premier and de-
vote all his time to commanding
his armed forces.
According to these advices, FL
nance Minister H. H. Kung will
take over the premiership while
retaining the finance portfolio.
The huge army of fresh Chinese
troops, all well equipped with
arms, arrived at Marking and
marched eastward to man a 90
mile battle line running from
Hupuko to Chapo, where the Chi
nese will make a determined stand.
YANGTZE RIVER MINED
Meanwhile, Chinese officials,
anticipating japanese attempts to
break the protective boom in the
Yangtze River at Kiangyin, were
reported to have constructed an
other near Chinkiang. They have
also mined the river to ward off at
tacks by Japanese warships.
Meanwhile Japanese authorities
claimed the vanguard Of their
troops advancing westward from
Shanghai was within II miles Of
Soochow, bomb-wrecked center Of
the defenders main defense line.
An International Red Cross rep
resentative here estimated China
has suffered 100000 casualties to
date in the war. At the same
time, unofficial estimates of the
japanese dead and wounded
ranged between 100000 an d
200, 900.
