Our Maritime Interests

shouted down as capitalist who
wanted something for nothing.
Corporations" were unpopular.
The first Roosevelt, worried in
1908 about a possible Hanna
presidential candidacy, turned to
home affairs. Our new empire
was left dependent upon foreign
merchant ships.
When the First World War
came, we reaped the bitter fruit
of neglect. With incredible ef-
fort and expense, we were obliged
to create a new merchant ma
rine. Then, after the war, we
let it rust and rot.
In 1928 Congress provided a
modest subsidy system, disguised
under the form of mail contracts.
In 1885 the President recon-
mended new act, frankly based
upon subsidies. This was in the
midst of the protracted sena-
torial investigation in which
Black blew up a few irregulari-
ties into national scandal. For
some reason, despite his out
ward sympathy for adequate
subsidies, the President never
really backed up the fairly good
subsidy bill that appeared after
his message. Reform bills had
the right of way in those years.
Without strong guidance, the
bill fell victim of a number of
destructive amendments with
which Black plastered it. It
left the shipping companies
utterly discouraged although,
under Joseph P. Kennedy, the
new Maritime Commission made
beginning. So once more we
entered war without adequate
protection for our armed forces.
And once more we have had to
build merchant marine the
hard and costly way.
In the discussion eight years
back, many foolish things were
said by our advocates of free
trade about paying our trade bal
ances by shipping in foreign
bottoms. The same Messiats are
still abroad. Their curious logic
holds that we will develop world
trade by sinking our own ships
and letting other nations mo-
nopolize shipping. Let it be said
that foreign nations are eager to
foster that delusion among us.
This question calls for a de-
cision, once and for all, in 1914.

SICILY (By MaiD D.-Wounded so
severely that his evacuation to the
United States was ordered q few
days later, Navy 1t. c. c. Arbuckle
Of Dallas, Tex, stuck to the wheel
Of the leading craft of the three lit
tie PIT boats Of which he was in
command throughout a close-range
battle with four enemy troop car
riers, each Of which carried two
77-mm. cannon as well as other
armament.
The story Of 1t Arbuckle's gallant
fight was revealed only after he had
left the evacuation hospital to which
he was taken as soon as the Navy
craft returned to port.
The battle occurred about IL miles
OF Cape Orlando on Sicily's north
coast. The three little boats of
which 1t. Arbuckle was in COM
mand were on a scouting expedition
when q lookout discerned through
the darkness and spray breaking
over the decks four low craft pro-
ceeding toward the shore.
1t was determined that they were
enemy boats and that they were
carrying troops to. some point be-
tween San Stefano and Cape Or
lando. This stretch of the north
coast road then was well behind
the Axis lines and the troops OBJ
viously were intended as reinforce
ments, This was lust before the
start of the great evacuation.
In the running fight that fol-
lowed at least one of the troop car
riers was sunk by a torpedo
launched from one of the PIT boats.
The others were forced to turn
back and disappeared in the dark
ness. The command boat on which

hole below the water line that it
was got back to port only by q
bucket brigade formed by the crew.
A PIT boat crew witnessed one OF
the grandest orgies ever heard Of
when it visited the ruined fishing
port of Milazzo couple Of days
after the fall of Messina.
After more than a months air
bombardment Of this port, one of the
gateways into Sicily Of enemy re-
Inducements, about the only build
ing in town left untouched was
an enormous wine storehouse. The
night after MeSsina's fall German
bombers dropped their loads over
the city. The purpose Of the raid
is unknown. A direct hit was scored
on the winery.
Three nights before, when I first
visited Milazzo, it was completely
without any sign Of human life.
But when 1t. Page Tulloch OF San
Diego, Calf, nephew of Walter
Pratt, president of the Equitable
Building and Loan Association, and
Of Ralph Pratt, dean of congress
sional secretaries, came into the
port with PIT boat the orgy was in
full progress. The neighboring peas
ants had raided the wrecvked winery
with buckets. 1t had drawn them
like honey draws bees. 1t was prob
ably the widest day Milazzo had
ever known.
While 1t. Tulloch's craft was in
the harbor an italian navy aviator
came to the dock to surrender.
They told him to 60 chase him
self. The fellow seemed quite Of
Tended, 1t. Tulloch says, and went
away muttering about American dis
courtesy. He had been looking for

NEW DELHI. - A one.party
dictatorship. Fascist in pattern,
is fast taking form under Jap
auspices in the Philippine Islands.
1t plainly is evident from the
labored hufnng and pufing Of
the Jap propaganda machine
that the independence" Of the
Philippines will be proclaimed to
the world in the near future.
An Independence Preparatory
Committee" working under the
watchful eye Of the Jap military
administration, is completing q
final draft Of the new organic
law. This win be submitted to
the rubber-stamp vote Of the con.
trolled electorate, after which In
dependence Ia Japanese will
be imminent.
In their dealings with the Fill
pinos the Japanese have drawn
heavily on their own political
experience and on Hitler's. They
have displayed a political finesse
not evident in their conquest Of
Manchuria and China. Yet the
end result will be the samoan
administration outwardly inde-
pendent in form but really at
the mercy Of Japan.
Won't Yield Interests.
When independence Is an.
nounced, the Japanese undoubt-
edly will dissolve the Jap military
administration as they did in
Burma, though, Of course, not q
single Jap soldier will be with
drawn. The country's political
administration will be turned
over to an all-Filipino govern
ment. There will be q big to-do
about the possibility OF ultimate
transfer Of confiscated American
properties to Filipino control, al
though you may be sure no spe-
cific date will be set.
These acts Of apparent gener-
osity may fool some Filipinos, but
only ignorant ones. It will be
painfully evident to the Filipinos
that the Japanese are giving up
none Of their own long-standing
vested interests in the Philip
pines. It will be painfully evi-
dent that hundreds OF Jap busi-
nessmen, carpetbaggers, advisers
and others, who have invaded the
country since the fall Of Manila,
have no intention Of leaving and
that the Jap influx Is steadily
growing.
"All we want from you," say
the Japanese to the Filipinos in
effect, Is "the fullest economic,
political and military co-opera-
ton with Japan and your recog-
milton Of the principle Of Japan's
leadership in Greater East Asia"
AS the Philippines have no
army or navy and will thus be
helpless to resist any Jap de-
msnd, the true meaning Of
Japan's new deal" boils down
to economic, political and mill
tary subserviency to the master
race"
VIII Aid Politicians.
However. the Jap brand Of In
dependence will mean more Jobs
for more Filipino politicians and
may be expected to rope in many
important persons. When they
entered the Philippines the Japs
wisely encouraged the old ad-
ministration to carry on as be-
fore. The biggest leaders. Manuel
L. Quezon and Sergio Osmenia,
had come of with the Americans,
but the majority Of the govern
ment personnel stayed. The for
mer Commonwealth Cabinet,
now called the Philippine Execu-
tive Commission, has much the
same composition as before. In

Shortly. after Senator Hugo
Blacks attacks on the merchant
marine ended with his appoint
ment to the Supreme Court, the
American steamship companies
formed the institute under whose
auspices the present report ap-
pears. They had found that as
individual companies they were
the easy prey Of demogogic con-
gressional attacks. What was
needed was some form Of united
effort to convince the country
that good merchant marine
was a matter of national safety
and utility. Now, at time when
we are faced with the danger of
repeating two blunders which
have marked our past policy, the
institute is tactfully attempting
to bring this point home.
After the American merchant
marine, struggling up from mea-
ger beginnings, had survived the
War Of 1872, 1t grew until, by
1861, it was second only to that
of the mother country. During
the Civil War, our merchant
marine suffered tremendous
losses from the depredations Of
British-built Confederate cruis-
ers. Probably because we were
too busy building railroads, it was
not rebuilt, after that. When
Mark Hanna, wisely perceiving
that since we had assumed i'm
perial responsibilities in 1898, we

Philippines New Order

its chairmanship, once occupied
by Quezon, sits Jorge Vargas,
who used to be known as QUE
zon's right-hand man.
Vargas, though always an OPP
portunist. had . reputation for
ability and integrity in the days
of American rule. Nobody Is sure
what kind Of game he and his
colleagues are playing. There is
strong reason to suppose, how
ever that the majority Of these
men are cooperating with the
Japanese, not because they want
to. but because they feel that
they have no other choice. Re-
fusal to play ball would cost
them lucrative political jobs and
any chance Of making 4 living In
private life. They would run the
risk, too, Of being branded trail
tors by the Japanese.
American broadcasts. beamed
to the Philippines, have dealt
charitably with the majority OF
the puppets, treating them as
victims Of circumstances. The
Filipinos, In turn, rarely indulge
In violent criticism Of the SELF
exiled Quezon, who Is still unques-
tionably the most popular Fill
pino politician.
The new organic law Of the
Philippines Is being drawn up by
q commission Of 10 members
headed by Judge jose Laurel,
secretary Of the interior in the
old government and q lawyer Of
some respectability. Laurel's
connections with the Japanese
are apparently under more sus-
picion than those OF some OF his
colleagues. He just spent IS days
in the hospital recuperating from
wounds inflicted by would-be
assassins at Manila golf course.
Laurel, the father of nine chill
dren, sent one of his sons to
Japan for an education. Vargas,
who is also . man Of big family,
went Laurel one better. Vargas
has two sons in Toxic being new
orderized, according to Jap
claims.
Before promising independence
to the Philippines, the Japanese
made very sure that the new
regime would follow the Fascist
pattern. They obliged all Fill
pino political chques to merge
into a single party which was
christened Kalibapi, or Philip
pine National Service Associa-
ton. The Kanbapi will be the
Na1 party Of the new Philip

A Kalibapi leaders institute has
