HEALTHY MERGHANT MARINE NECESSARY United States Fleet Corporation Wants More Merchant Ships Boston, June 6.—That a healthy merchant marine cessity to the safety and prosperity of the American people, and that private ownership is the only fundamental solution to keeping the American flag afloat on high seas, was the declara tion this afternoon of Admiral Leigh C. Palmer, president of the United ates Fleet Corporation, before the Eleventh National Foreign trade con- vention. Discussing the relation of the gov- erument to the merchant marine, Ad- miral Palmer “While govern- ment aid for the merchant marine is to be encouraged and welcomed, it is more important for the lasting good of the merchant marine that private enterprise be directed to the solution of our shipping problems with a view to diminishing, and eventually remov- Ing, the differential that exists be- tween American and foreign operat- Ing costs. But T am an optimist, and T believe the time wiil come when we will build ships as cheaply as they can be built abroad. “When shipyards are enabled work continuously on the production of specialized types of ships, and when American engineers shall have evolved stan ed types of marine motors that can he manufactured by qQuantity production methods and at comparatively low cost, the problem of cheap ships will have been solved, “A part of the differential that now exists is the higher cost of capital to the Ameriean shipowner, ably is only a temporary that will adjust ijts Furthermore, ing costs in which labor is a consid- erable factor, such as wages of ships’ crews and salaries of operatives American shipping will continua to be Al a disadvantage as long as the American scale of living 15 higher fhan the foreign, wj . gpet w Which we should ex. peet to continue indefinjte But r-rnvxmzmx this, our recourse is to make our operatives and erowa more Sficient and more productive anq thereby minimize the differential “For three-quarters y our people, is an absolute ne- said This prob- condition It due time, in b \ of a century *0t On the expl their 1 to the sea and left the comparatively unremunerative by ness of &hipping to other peoples 1o 58 favorably ecircumstanced, This has Eiven rise to the bellef in some quar. ters that ours is not a maritime peo Ple; that by nature we are inept on the sea.

It has been more of a ques- |tion of keeping the farmer on his |feet rather than helping the farmer buy a farm. “The standard of living probably would drop, in the average case, for one or more years while the farmer is paying for his farm and purchas- | ing machinery, but would rise eventu- ally to above the level of the tenant farmer,” the acting president stated, | discussing the standard of living of | the landowning farmer, | Mr. Gulon expressed belief that | while establishment of the bank hps not decreased the numbers of farm- ers who mortgage their crops in ad- vance to buy supplies, he thinks the bank has, through extension of credit to a community, been instrumental in eifecting improvements which have increased the tax valuationg of land with resultant additional revenue for schools, Thus, in a way, he said, better educational opportunities have | been afforded farmers' children, TOURIST 10 SWEDEN SPENDS ABOUT $100 lesson” be amount, ¢ total 1o tell how Estimates Are Made from Business of Hotels, Steamship Lines and Railroads, Stockholm, June 6.-~About $5,000,. 000 was spent in Sweden last year by some 50,000 tourists, according to estimates complled from data colect- od by the S8wedish TrafMe Association It hat been possible to estimate from the business done by hotels, steam- ship lines, railroads, the larger places of amusement, ete., that the number of foreign visitors in Sweden has risen from about 35,000 tn 1920 to about 50,000 in 1923, Last year, according 1o the officials of the Tercentenary Ju- bilee Exposition in Gethenburg, that fair was attended by about 10,000 Americans, many of them emigrants from Sweden who had taken this op- portunity to revisit the mother coun- try.
