What’s Ahead N The Spent Government in 10 years has more than $3,500,000,000 which most people now consider was for the development of American shipping. This is more than the total cost of the American Government from 1789 to 1900. Still we are fall- ing back in the world’s shipping pro- cession. On July 1, 1920, Great Britain had 18,030,000 gross ton- nage; the United States, 16,324,000; France, 3,243,000. Then came Japan, italy, Norway and Holland, in the order named. Where was Germany? Eighth, with 672,000 tons. our years later the merchant fleets of the world stood as follows, in gross tonnage: Great Britain United State Japan . France Germany Italy .... 2,832,000 Holland 2,556,000 Germany had gone up to fifth place, Japan from fourth to third, France to fourth place. But Great Britain had increased her lead over the United States from 2,006,000 in 1920 to 3,149,- 000 tons in 1924. If idle tonnage Was taken into consideration Great Brit- ain's lead would show up much larger. 19,105,000 15,956,000 3,842,000 3,498,000 2,953,000 Britain Builds Heavily. Look at the Ships under construc- tion. On January 21, 1924, of the world's total of 2,440,000 tons, 62 per cent, or 1,395,000 tons, was being built for Great Britaln. The United States, so ambitious 10 years ago, was building just 91,000 tons, or a little over 4 per cent of the world total and about one-fifteenth of the Brit- ish. Germany was saying little, but had under construction 336,000 tons, near- 1y four times as much as the United State: In three or four years Ger- many will take her place as one of the big three of the world's shipping. Probably the bulk of the huge sums which the United States Governmeht spent on shipping should be consid- cred not for merchant marine de- velopment, but largely as a war ex- penditure. “It will not be an easy task America to obtain the position deserves in the world's shipping,” de- clares W. Averell Harriman, the voung chairman of the board of di- rectors of the United American Iines. Young Harriman recalls the dyna- mic figure of his father, E. H. Harri- man, but he is of a larger frame. He is youthful in appearance, but ma- ture in statement. Doubts Rotorship Value. “Will the Flettner rotor ship, in vour opinion, tend to revolutionize shipping?” I asked. “Jt {x new,” he replied. “It is being tried out now in Europe. Technically, it is interesting. Possibly it will help meet some of the problems for the small or medium sized sailing vessels, but in my opinion it will hardly do more than that, for it will not affect the activities of power vessels.” “What is ahead for American ship- building?” “It costs from 25 to 50 per cent more to build a new vessel in Amer- jcan shipyards than in foreign ones. Wages are substantially twice as high here as in other countries. The official figures on the American ship- bullding activities are enlightening. On January 1, 1924, there were 21,150 workmen employed in the great ocean shipyards of the United States. One year later the number was 15, a reductfon of 25 per cent. Amer- an shipbuilding, in the mnext few years at least, must rely on the Navy, the protected trader of the United States, on special purpose ships and on . Diesel conversion. The yards must turn to economy of operation and the development of non-marine products.” Asked of Basic Factw. “Then what are some of the basic facts the public ought to know?” he was asked. “That is a big question. At the be- ginning of 1925 there were 1,074 pri- vately owned American ships, with an aggregate gross tonnage of 5,059,- 000, including tankers. Of these, 941 were actlve and 133, representing only 8 per cent of the total privately owned tonnage, were idle. The Gov- ernment-owned vessels numbered 1,243, of 6,109,000 gross tons. Of these, 885, having 3,803,000 gross ton- nage, were idle. That is about 70 per cent of the total. The ships in oper- ation, we are told, cost the Govern- ment about $35,000,000 a year. “You have asked me to be frank and 1 will be. We are not as vet a great shipping people. Our foregn trade, while large and growing larger, is not relatively big in pro- portion to our domestic trade. TUrges Defining of Routes. “But T believe the vast majority of the people are in favor of a mer- chant marine for at least two rea- sons—to prevent economic isolation when other nations might be at war and to insure us a sufficient numiber of vessels to act as auxiliaries to our military forces if our own country should be at war.” “Then what steps, in your opinion, must America take to develop and maintain a merchant marine?” “Four distinct steps.

Favors Shipping Form of Subsidy. “Third, to insure continuance of the essential trade routes I would suggest a postal act to render the principal aid; a subsidy where postal ald is insufficient to regularly estab- lished lines: a continuation of the so- called building fund provision in the present law but at lower rates of interest than now provided; and an- nulling or modifying the legislative acts which are now a burden on American shipping. “Finally, provide the Shipping Board with a modest-sized fleet of freight steamers to be used when necessary to break any combination that discrim- inates improperly in any trade routes where the American flag is not repre- sented. “We must not forget that the huge government expenditures for ships during the war were for an emer- gency. It is part of the waste of the war., then is of no use for peace tims, does not make a merchant marine, and is a menace to the orderly upbuilding of the merchant marine we need.” Would Serap War-time Fleet. “Then what would you have the government do with its fleet?” “‘Ships in bad condition in the hands of the Shipping Board should be scrapped at once. All other govern- ment steamers not required for the purposes that I have stated should also be scrapped.” In a word, Mr. Harriman, you be- lieve, g0 far as the government fleet, upon which over $3,500,000,000 has been spent, is concerned, the policy should be ‘Scrap, sell, scrap'?” “Yes,” he replied; “that’s the most important first step if American ship- ping is to secure end maintain its proper place. There need be no dis- couragement as to the ability of Americacns to operate ships success- fully in foreign trade, but it remains for the United States to make it possible that these ships fly the American flag.” (Copyright, 1925, in United States, Oanada and Great Britain’ by North American News- paper Alliance.

By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, April 9.—As a re sult of Investigations to determine whether & child adopted by Mr. and Mrs. F. V. Grofe of Morsemere, N. J., is the Ikidnaped Lillian McKensie, missing_from New York since 1923, Henry Leo Mottard of Smithtown, who said he was a graduate chiro- practic physician, practicing in New York under the name of Harry L. Green, was arrested early today and charged with performing an illegal operation. Police said Mottard told them that the child now in the Grofe home was born in his office to a Mary Sullivan of Connecticut, several months be- fore the birth of the McKenzie baby and that he had given it to a Mrs. O'Keefe, a professional mother, who 61d it to Mrs. Grofe for $100. Charge Many Operations. They also said that Mottard had performed many operations in and around New York. Prosecutor Hart N. Y., vestel of Bergen County, said that Mr. and Mrs. Peter McKenzie of New York had positively Identified the child, known as Mildred Grofe, as their' own. Later it became known that the par- ents had wavered in their identifica- fion and last night the prosecutor sald the child might never be defi- nitely identified as the McKenzie girl. Dr. Bernard York, who was c ttlieb of New lled by Mrs. Grofe to attend the child, on the other hand is positive that it is the McKenzie girl. Gottlieb based his identification, the prosecutor said, largely on a physical peculiarity of the McKenzie child found also in the Grofe girl.

After all, the maneuvers to be held at the end of thls month at the ot chief value as conclusive tests of the effectiveness of our defenses. They give us an opportunity to check up on our pians and to correct such fauits as inevitably creep into every human enterprise and remain unobserved un- til put to a practical or quasi-prac- tical test. Defense of strategically important points, like the Island of Oahu, must be carried out in accordance with a well defined plan, covering both ac- tual operations and the development of tangible installations. During maneuvers we always try to put op- posing sides on an equal basis, so that the decislon will go to the most able and the better prepared, rather than to mere welght of numbers. War, however, is not a mere pacific ma- neuver., In’ preparing to defend a place against attack in actual war wa do not seck to make our forces equal to those of the enemy, but rather seek to make them of sufficlent strength to do their work. The defense of any place depends on the force that raight be brought against it. Estimating what an attacking force might be, we can plan to provide sufficient strength to repulse such a force. The troops necessary to execute the de- fense plan can be calculated, and bro- madé to furnish the troops with what they need in the way of facllities. like bases, fortification roads, railroads, quarters, storag houses, ete. If the plan is soundl devised and effectively followed ihe defense of the island may perhaps be | assured without conflict at all. Som »f the greatest battles, as Admiral Mahan has said, are those tnat are never fought Long-Range Coast Guns. Capt. Schofield of the Navy the seaman’s point of view “The better fortifications are placed and the better they are armed the more certain it is that they will never fire hostile shots against ships. The surest way to keep hostile ships away is to outrange them. . . . The treaty for limitation of naval arma. ment, if it finally becomes operative, will reduce the number of powerful armed ships in the world so much that no power will hereafter feel that it can risk any of those ships against seacoast fortification. It certainly would be folly to do so until the Guestion of supremacy on the sea was definitely settled.” In accordance with this fdea that adequate preparation may win a vic tory and prevent the capitulation of Oahu, except In imaginary maneu- vers, the War Department has drawn up an elaborate defense project. Mil- itary commanders assigned to Ha- wail have made careful studies of the situation and have experimented in local maneuvers until they are able to specify what troops might be re- quired, and what installations needed. To put their plans into effect would insure security. Yet we have always to contend with other factors. We have to proceed along reasonable financial lines.

It is not | possible for us to emulate the imagi- nary General Staff of which Lord Lee of Farnham laughingly spoke in 1921, which wanted to put a tremendous:| garrison on every outiying posses- | sion, even on the moon. In his last annual report the Chief of Coast Ar- tillery stated that the war require- ments of the Coast Artillery could be partially filled from island Incre- ments. It is a fact that the islands are keenly concerned with the needs of defense. The big plantation com- panies have encouraged the National Guard and have expended consider- able sums for the bullding of ar- morie: ‘We can count on local ald, but the local manpower is not numer- ous enough for what we would need. Discyssing the matter of hostile at- tack on harbor forts, the chief of Coast Artillery has said: “Such attack would be launched by water, or by air, or by both. An) thing approaching an adequate d fense against such forms of attack demands, at the outbreak of war, a sufficient trained personnel to man completely our harbor defenses and an adequate anti-aircraft defense. Failure in these respects in the first | stages of a war of magnitude would, without doubt, add immeasurably to the difficulty of a successful defense and might prove disastrous.” In spite of the very apparent peril of such a course, we have been com- pelled to work on the assumption that a continuance of peace with all the world will permit of the gradual ac- cumulation of men and funds for strengthening the garrizon of Oahu.
