TT SEEMS to us that the American people have
been paying too much attention to the vacillat
ing, leaderless, obscurantist policies of the San
Francisco conference and not enough attention to
certain statements of Prime Minister Churchill
who has been, after ALL the real nonmilitary
spokesman for democratic America in Europe:
England and the United States have had their diff
ferences They will continue to have their differences,
both being nations of fierce independence and of fearless
character
But, thing both nations totally agree, par

administration.
We have raised our deadweight
tonnage of American merchant ship
ping from eleven million tons in 1912
to well over forty five million tons
now.
So National Maritime Day in
1915 finds the American merchant
marine not only very important in
world trade but virtually in mo-
nopolistic position.
Now the question arises, and now
is the time to ask it, about what we
are going to do in the matter of
having an important American mer-
chant marine AFTER the war.
4 RE we going BACK to the condi.
"A tion of diminishing and vanish
ing maritime Importance, as we did
after the last, great war?
If so, all we need to do is to keep
right on pursuing the same national
maritime policies that brought on
that condition.
Or are we going to keep on being
an important maritime power in
peace. as we have become in war?
If So we had better persuade the
Congress of the United States to
adopt comprehensive and enlight-
ened maritime policy that will per-
nit the American merchant marine
to operate efficiently and profitably
in competition with foreign merchant
navies.
Why do we have to wait for
great war to come along, to make us
build the kind of an American mer-
chant marine we need to win wars,
when the same kind of an American
merchant marine would be most
beneficial to us in peace and would
be AVAILABLE in the event of
war?
Our observance of National Mari
time Day this year should be en-
thusiastic, but it also should have
purpose - that purpose being to
compel the adoption of a national
maritime policy by Congress that
will preserve our great wartime
merchant marine as one of our per-
manent and greatest peacetime
assets

THE Congress of the United States,
u in one of its moments of aware
ness of the Importance of the Amer
lean merchant marine which were
somewhat rare before the present
war, passed an act providing for the
annual observance of National Mari
time Day.
This noteworthy and laudable &C
tion by Congress was taken in 1888,
when the American merchant marine
was of little Importance in the
worlds markets and even that small
Importance was rapidly diminishing.
The date chosen for the annual
observance had special significance,
since it commemorated the depar-
ture of the SIS. Savannah on May
%, 1919, on the first transocean
crossing under steam propulsion, and
thus recalled day when the Ameri-
can merchant marine was of very
great Importance in the worlds
markets rather than of almost no
Importance at all as it had come to
be in 1888.
THEREAFTER, National Mari
i time Day was appropriately and
quite enthusiastically observed year
after year, but not very much was
accomplished in making the Ameri-
can merchant marine important.
In 1887, the u. S. Maritime Com
mission embarked on a 10-year pro-
gram contemplating the construction
of 500 cargo ships, which was pro-
gram hardly calculated to make the
American merchant marine forIni-
dable factor in world trade.
BY 1889, the United States still
controlled something less than one
seventh of all the worlds ocean
shipping, against the British en-
pire's one third.
However, the European war got
underway in 1889 and American
shipbuilding and other maritime &C
tivities took sharp upturn; and in
194l the United States itself got into
the war, and from then on there has
been different story.
NOW the United States controls
~ more than TWO THIRDS of all
the worlds shipping, and has more
than four thousand merchant ships

THESE are the facts:
Il The Oakland labor assembly
was completely under control of
Hillman and the Russians, with
the British riding quietly behind
them.
The head of the Russian dele
cation al Oakland was also an
official delegate for Russia in
the San Francisco peace meet
ing and the pipeline between.
Through him the Hillman
crowd worked up a program
whereby they would get into the
conference and into the perma-
nent peace setup by being estab-
hShed as the group TO handle
world labor problems.
A resolution carrying out this
purpose was handed by the eco
nomic committee to the steering
committee which is composed of
all nations.
After some warm discussion,
that guiding committee of the
conference decided it would not
