Silence greeted the President's sug- gestion that it was “loftier statesman ship to support and commend a policy designed to effect the larger good to the nation than merely to record the two hasty impressions of a constit- uency.” The diplomatic gallery. was well filled with representatives of foreign nations, some of them the maritime nations to which the President re- ferred when he said: “I hope it is seemly to say it be- cause it must be said, the maritime nations of the world are in complete accord with the opposition here to the pending measure.” At the conclusion of the President’s address, there was another burst of applause, though it was noticeable that many members of the House and Senate failed to join In. among them Senator LaFollette of Wisconsin, who SUPREME JUDGE SOON | of | to have been widely indorsed for the i President will select | and N strecis northwest, Hilton Jackson, the moderator, announcing the opening of the ociation cailed ntion to the, unusual progress of the denomination would | has thrown down the gauntlet to the adminigtration in the ship subsidy fight.

It is of contr t our we are mer paying am not asking your n of a new and added t on the public Treasury; I am appealing for a program to Linish the burden we are ai- Ay hearing. When your executive govern- of public expenditures ng fitty millions annual- h it believes could be re- Iy, wh duced by half through a change of policy, your government would be unworthy of public trust if such a change were not commended—nay, if it were not insistently urged. the pity of it is that our present expenditure in losses is not constructive. It looks to.no future attainments. It is utterly incffective in the establishment of a dependable merchant marine, whereas the encouragement of pri- vate ownership and the application of individual initiative would make for a permanent creation, ready and answerable at all times to the needs of the nation. No Provision for Depreciation. But I have not properly por- trayed all the current losses to the public Treasury. We are wearing out our ships without any provi- sion for replacement. We are hav- ing these losses through deteriora- tion now, and are charging noth- ing against our canital account. But the losses are there, and re- grettably larger under government operation than under. private con- trol. Only a few years of contin- ued losses on capital account will make these losses through depre- ciation alone to exceed the fifty millions & year now drawn to cover losses in operation. The gloomy picture of losses does not end even there. Nat- withstanding the known war cost of three billions of dollars for the present tonnage, I will not ven- ture to appraise its cash value to- day. It may as well be confessed now as at some later time that in the mad rush to build, in estab- lishing shipyards wherever men would organize to expend govern- ment money, when we.made ship- builders overnight quite without regard to previous occupations or pursuits, we builded poorly, often very poorly. Moreover, we con- structed without any formulated program for a merchant marine. The ‘war emergency impelléd, and the cry was_for ships, any kind of ships. The error is recallea m regret rather than criticism. The point is that our fleet, costing ap- proximately three billions, x fr be, the truth remains that we have no market in which to 1l ships under our present worth only & fraction of that cost . the ¢.and a prozram of surrender nd the liquidation able unless the n is sanctioned st scores of millions more, Seex Dixaster If Bill Fails.

Then the wre humiliation, the admis- on that the United States—our Amer onge eminent among the incapable of asserting itself in the peace triumphs on the seas of the world. It would seem to me doubly humiliating when we own the ships and fail in the genius and capacity to turn their prows to- ward the marts of the world. This problem cannot longer be 1 highways | ions of the world—is | ignored, its attempted solution cannot longer be postponed. The failure of Congress to act decisive- 1y will be no less disastrous than adverse action. Three Courses Open. Three courses of action are pos- sible, and the choice amsng them is no longer to be avoldea. The first is constructive—enact the pending bill, under which, I firmly believe, an American mer- chant marine, privately owned and privately operated, but serving all the people and always available to the government in any emergency, may be established and maintained. The second is obstructive—con- tinue government operations and attending government losses and discourage private enterprise by government competition, under which losges are met by the pub- lice treasu and witness the con- tinued losses and deterloration until the colossal failure ends in sheer exhaustion. - The. third is destructive—involv- ing the sacrifice of our ships abroad or the scrapping of them at home, the surrender of our aspira- tions and the confession of our im- potence to the world in general, and our humiliation before the competing world in particular. Stands for “We WIIL” A choice among the three is in- evitable. It is unbelievable that the American people or the Con- gress which expresses their power will consent, to surrender and de- struction. It is equally unbeliev- &ble that our people and the Con- 8ress which translates their wishes into action will longer sustain a program of obstruction and at- tending losses to the Treasury. 1 have come to urge the con- structive alternative, to reassert an American “We will.” I have come to ask you to relieve the responsible administrative branch of the government from a pro- gram upon which fallure and hopelessness and staggering losses are written for every page, and let us turn to a progrdm of as-: sured shipping to serye us in war and_to gije guaranty 'to pur ‘com 3 2 2 merqial independ L Xgaw tal o ence in. ‘peace, 7 NOW BEING DEVASTATED BY FIRE mswhich have been destroyed or are in danger.

But call it “subsidy.” since there are those who prefer to appeal to mistaken prejudice rather than make frank and logical argument. We might 5o call the annual loss of fifty millions, which we are pay- ing now without protest by those Who most abhor, we might as well call that a “subsidy.” 1If so, I am proposing to cut it in half, ap- proximately, and to the saving thus effected there would be added millions upon millions of further savings through ending losses on capital account—government capi- tal, out of the public treasury, al- ways remember—and there would be at least the promise and the prospect of the permanent estab- lishment of the needed merchant marine. Appenls to Save Treasury. I challenge every insinuation of favored interests and the enrich- ment of the special few at the expense of the public Treasury. I am, first of all, appealing to save the Treasury. Perhaps the un- limited bestowal of government aid might justify the apprehension of special favoring, but the pending bill, the first ever proposed which carries such a provision, auto- matically guards agalnst enrich- ment or perpetuated bestowal. It provides that shipping lines re- ceiving government aid must have their actual investment and their operating expenses audited by the government, that government aid will only be pald until the ship- ping enterprise earns 10 per cent on actual capital employed, and immediately that when more than 10 per cent earning 1is reached, half of the eycess earnings must be applied to the repayment of the government ald which has been previously advanced. Thus the possible earnings are limited to a very reasonable amount if capital is to be risked and man- agement is to be attracted. If success attends, as we hope it will, the government outlay is returned, the inspiration of opportunity to earn remains, and American trans- portation by sea is established. No More Than Other Nations. Though differing in detail, it is not more in proportion to their population and capacity than other great nations have done in aiding the establishment, of thelr mer- chant marines, and it is timely to recall that we gave them our cém- merce to aid in their upbuilding, ‘while the American ‘task now s to upbuild and establish in the face of thelr. most active competitjon. * ~Indeed, the American development | et it ‘Baye tn overcome every. ob- .| gbess. "It C. TUESDAY, NOVEMBER- 21, 1922. Forsaken Wives Of Sultan Say They Are Happy By the Assoclated Pres CONSTANTINOPLE, November 21.—Ofticials of the sultan’s palace today recgived a radio message from Mohammed VI, who has fled to Malta, inquiring after his wives, all of which he left behind. Tue following reply to his inquiry was forwarded: “All are well and happy.” The most anxious of the sultan's harem is a young Circassian beau- ty, a daughter of the palace gardener, to whom Mohammed VI was recently married. Her in- stallation in the imperial house- hold aroused considerable rivalry among the other members of the harem, for she immediately became a favorite and her master lavished expensive gifts upon her. She has now returned to her parents, who are in modest circumstances. N Turkish newspapers assert that the sultan took with him 3500,- 000 fn currency, a solid gold an- tique dinner set valued at $250,- 000 and several hundred thousand dollars’ worth of jewels, as well as a field marshal’s uniform. path, except as International com- ity forbids. Concern about our policy is not limited to oar own domain, though the interest abroad is of very differing character. I hope it is seemly to say it, be~ause it must be said, the maritime na- tions of the world are in complete accord with the opposition here to the pending measure. They have a perfect right to such an attitule. When we look from their view- points we can understand. But I wish to stress the American view- point. Ours should be the view point from which one sees Ame can carriers at sea, the depend- ence of American commerce, and American vessels for Amerlcan re- liance in the event of war. Some of the costly lessons of war must be learned again and again, but our shipping lesson in the world war was much too costly to be effaced from the memory of this or future generations. Higher U. S§. Labor Costs. Not so many months ago the head of a company operating a fleet of ships under our flag called at the executive offices to discuss a permit to transfer his fleet of cargo vessels to a foreign flag, though he meant to continue them in a distinctly American service. He based his request for transfer on the allegation that by such a transfer he could reduce his labor costs alone sufficiently to provide a profit on capital invested. I do not vouch for the accuracy of the statement nor mean to discuss it. The allusion is made to recall that in good conscience Congress has created by law conditions sur- rounding labor on American ships which shipping men the world over declare result in higher costs of operation under our flag. I frank- 1y rejoice if higher standards for labor on American ships have been established. Merest justice sug- gests that when Congress fixes these "standards it is fair to ex- tend government aid in maintain- ing them until world competition is brought to the same high level, or until our shipping lines are so firmly established that they face world competition alone. can A National Aspiration. Having discussed in detail policy and provisions of the pe ing bill when previously address- ing you, I forbear a repetition now. n individual exchange of opinion uot a few in House or Senate have expressed personal sympathy with the purpose of the bill, and then uttered a discouraging doubt about the sentiment of their constituen- cies. It would be most discourag- ing if a measure of such trans- cending natlonal importance must have its fate depend on geograph- ical, occupational, professional. or partisan objections. Frankly, I think it loftier statesmanship to support and commend a policy designed to effect the larger good to the nation than merely to re- cord the too hasty impressions of a constituency. Out of the harmonized aspira- tions, the fully informed convic- tions and the united efforts of all the people will come the greater republic. Commercial eminence on the seas, ample agencies for the promotion and carrving of our foreign commerce, are of no less importance to the people of Mis- sissippi and the Missouri valley. the great northwest, and the Rocky Mountain states, than to the seaboard states and industrial communities building- inland a lhou!ind miles or more. It is a common cause, with its benefits commonly shared. When people fail in the national viewpoint, and live in the confines of community selfishness or narrowness, the sun of this republic will have passed its meridian. and our larger aspi- rations will shrivel in the ap- proaching twilight. Sees Return on Expenditure. But let us momentarily put aside the aspiring and inspiring view- point. The blunt, indisputable fact of the loss of fifty millions a year under government operation remains; likewise the fast dimin- ishing capital account, the enor- mous war expenditure, to which we were forced because we had not fittingly encouraged and build- ed as our commerce expanded in peace. Here are facts to deal with, not fancies wrought out of our political and economic dis- putes. The abolition of the annual loss and the best salvage of the’ capital account are of concern to all the people. 5 It is my firm belief that the com- bined savings of operating losses and the protection of the capital account through more advantage- ous sales of our war-built or war- seized ships, because of the favor- ing, policy which the pending bill ‘will establish, will more than pay every dollar expended in Govern- ment aid for 25 years to come. ‘Would Save $20,000,000. It should be kept in mind that the approximate sum of five mil- llons annually paid for the trans- port of ocean malils 18 no new ex- penditure. It should be kept in mind that the loan fund .to en- courage building is not new; it is the law -already, enacted by the ‘essentially unpnimous vote of Con- 5 v included in the BRI QEREREVEVE { with a piot of land near the new club- as to assure the exaction of a minimum Interést rate by the Gov- ernment, whereas the existing law | leaves the grant of bullding loany | subject to any whim of favoritism. | It should be kept in mind, also, that there are assured limitations of the Government aid proposed. The direct aid, with ocean carrying maintatned at our present partici- pation, will not reach twenty mil- lions a year, and the maximum direct aid, if our shipping is so promoted that we carry one-half our deep-scas commerce will not exceed thirty millfons annually. At the very maxiumum of outlay we should be saving twenty millions of our present annual operating loss. If the maximum is ever reached, the establishment of our | merchant marine will have been | NANDAMUS N HALL LOUORCASE ASKED |U. S. Attorney Wahts Pe! Judge Ordered to Sian Bill of Exceptions.
