Discussing the need for subsidies to

the United States can compete with ma

explains the cost of such subsidies or
PARTIES as follows: Before the war,
the Government made operating subsidy

I'VE are paying two kinds of subsidies

built in foreign yards. We pay our ship
yard labor on the American scale, and
the difference in cost is absorbed by the
Government. Then there are operating
subsidies-and 80 to IS per cent of
these go to labor so per cent directly to
ship crews and other maintenance
workers, and most of the remainder in
directly to labor for repairs, and so on.
The Maritime Commission holds the
companies strictly accountable for all
these payments, to make sure they go

Almost 1000 officers and men were

over 40 were prisoners of war. Nearly
5000 were given awards, from the Navy
Cross to entries in their records, and
over 24,000 were authorized to wear op-
Grafton and engagement stars.
They went to work with everything
against them, on old ships manning old
guns and in East Coast waters which
the U-boats were using almost as their
own private hunting preserve.
But they slugged it out, and when
they were not slugging it out they were

a merchant ship is pretty fragile thing,
and it seemed lot more so if the cargo
happened to be ammunition or high
octane gasoline.
That's why the Armed Guarders were
rather proud bunch and perhaps
seemed a little noisier than others
when they did hit shore They knew
what they had accomplished, and it was
no use kidding themselves about what
they always had to go through mentally
and often physically to accomplish it.
More than 5000 merchant vessels
were armed during the war And TOO
were lost, according to VISA figures. An
average Armed Guard crew was Is per-
sons, and a merchant crew 45, so it's not
hard to see how many Armed Guard

Settling Home Problems
Sergt Patrick E. Carroll, 81, of West
De Pere. Wis. valedictorian of the first
class, is in the Washington Office ham
ding cases now as a full-tinle Ma
tional Service officer for the DAV. The
cases range from compensation adjust
ments to personal home problems, he
said. The veteran told of one soldier
married to girl whose parents, living
with them, objected to dancing and
parties. The parents were trying to
force their ideas on the youthful couple
and dissension in the household was the
result. The case was brought to Sergt.
Carroll and after some judicious ques-
tioning and some plain speaking to the
parents, the matter was adjusted.

ton SO essential to good morale. The

ters, on flaming tankers on parched life
rafts-but they turned the tide of bat
tie in the war of the supply lanes.
Soon Armed Guard crews were &C
companying merchant ships to almost
any corner of the globe you can name.
They visited ports most men of our ad-
mittedly well-traveled feet have never
seen. They tasted vodka in Murmansk,
water buffalo steak in Calcutta and fish
and chips in Capetown
Enemies on All Sides
And as their travels broadened so did
their enemies increase. There was the
LuftwafTe along the icy road to Russia,
the Luftwaffe in the Mediterranean, the
LuftWaffe in the English Channel, and
this past winter also swarms of short
range submarines, E boats, vi and W.
bombs to plague them in the Channel
area and at the armageddon-li ap-
proaches to Antwerp.
There were raiders in the South At
lantic and raiders in the Indian Ocean
and the Pacific. The SIS Stephen Hop
kins in the South Atlantic actually sank
in 1912 a German raider in a Commute
furious encounter before she herself was
sunk
At one time the Japs even used cruis-
ers in the Indian Ocean in an attempt to
strangle our supply line to India and
hence to China. Their subs were active
there throughout the war, which pur-
sued their characteristic penchant for
atrocity in several instances after they
had sunk ships and the crews had
taken to the boats
With more enemies, the Navy re-
sponded with more and newer guns, un-
til some of the transports which the
Armed Guard manned came to resemble
minor battleWagons In the Mediterra-
mean, German planes which thought big
conveys were easy marks were met with
an antiaircraft barrage that beggared

All was not fighting and bloodshed
with the Armed Guarders, no more than
it is with any other part of the Navy
or Army Activity had strange way of
f1aring up in one area, only to become
quiescent again, then fare up in another
area 5000 miles away. 1t was like that
throughout the war. If a ship had the
breaks, it could go around the world
without firing shot, happening to be
in the right areas at the right time.
Sweating 1t Out
But it was always waiting with the
Armed Guard, and all the emptiness,
loneliness, and tension that it implies.
The crews rarely went to bed at night
without first measuring distances to
their lifejackets and shoes, and then
with prayers on their lips. The hull Of

Historic American Naval Victories

Old 1ronsides
The American Navy has enjoyed so
many glorious victories that one might
write almost indefinitely about its cele-
brated achievements and then discover
that some outstanding event had been
passed over. Take, for instance, Old
1ronSideS, which we expect will some
day be brought to Washington to form
great naval exhibit. This beloved
ship, so thoughtfully named the Con-
stitution was built at Boston and
launched october 81. 1897.
Her most celebrated battle took place
on August 10, 1872, when the ship was
commanded by Capt. Isaac Hull The
enemy ship at this time was the Guer-
Tiere,

Hazard Perry sinking the British fleet
in the Battle of Lake Erie, and re-
porting to Gen. Harrison. we have met
the enemy and they are ours-two ships.
two brigS, one schooner and one Sloop"
But in the same war Capt James
Lawrence did not fare so well. for in
his engagement with the British ship
Shannon lying off Boston harbor he was
mortally wounded, though as he was
carried below. his immortal words were,
Don't give up the ship"
Right or Wrong
Stephen Decatur. another intrepid
sea dog, upon one occasion left with us
thought that might we'll be taken to
heart at all times. 1t was toast he
once offered. 1t was this: Our country,
In her intercourse with foreign nations,
may she always be in the right, but our
country, right or wrong"
During our early particularly
the War of 18l2-15-many of the naval
commanders who were fortunate enough
to survive the conflict found themselves
possessed of considerable prize money,
turned over to them by the Government
through the sale of captured enemy
vessels and Cargoes.
Decatur was one of these, and he soon
found that he should have new home
in a more stylish neighborhood than
that afforded by the Seven Buildings,
and so We find him purchasing the site
at the southwest corner of H street and
Jackson place, where he erected in 1919
the building still standing at that loca-
ton.
But Decatur had only short while
to live in his new home, for it was des-
tined he should be carried from there
a corpse but one short year hence, fol-
lowing his fatal duel at Bladensburg
with Commodore James Barron, March
%. 1920.

the hulls of our merchant ships like

Company stripes and insignia will
undoubtedly go back onto the tunnels,
and motifs of white, blue, red, green,

the whim of the steamship line, and
in some rarer instances the master.
But something else is also being re-

That specifically is the Armed Guard,

times dreary, but always essential job
of seeing cargoes of men and materials
across the many oceans, seas and even
up the rivers of the world.

And with respect to personnel therein

Officers-who were anywhere between

The enlisted men were mostly fresh

also had held responsible jobs before
