In the past this coun- try has been fairly posed to the princi Ke Have we grown “ provincial than we once were,” as the president believes? We shall see. We shall see, too, whether our position to a ship su was all “provincialism.” The question of a sub- sidy is peculiarly oppor tune at this time. The navy and the merchant marine are inseparable, however much we ue like to have it othe : “The merchant ma- rine,” declared President Harding, “is universally recognized as the second line of naval defense,” and now that we are on the verge of signing @ naval limitations treaty — with the four other great maritime nations of the © world, we cannot afford to overlook that potent fact. Regardless of what this country may do in the matter, Great Britain and Japan, at any rate, are not going to scrap their merchant shipping along with that portion of their fighting craft condemned by the Wash- ington conference. To able auxiliaries to fighting ships of the ~ line. i The United States must. have a merchant © fleet unless she is to be ~ hopelessly outclassed on the seas by at least © two of the five powers signing with us the naval — limitations treaty. om The fleet, as long as — peace shall last, can and must carry America’s ~ surplus goods..to foreign marts and fetch back to our ports the raw ma- — terials and finished ~ products required by the citizens of the country. Cheaper building costs — and cheaper operating — costs obtaining in for- eign countries offer a real handicap to Ameri- can shipping, and some form of government en- couragement may be found necessary to over- come it. va But whether or not»... there is a subsidy should depend entirely upon the conditions governing it. In the old days it was not so much “provincial- ism” on the part of the public as it was the cer- tain knowledge that the money barons were try- ing to get their fists into the people’s till, which stood in the way of a subsidy. If there develops now the slightest foundation for the suspicion that a subsidy will mean any- thing like that, then the public will again lay itself open to the charge of “provincialism.” For it will undoubtedly be against a subsidy in that case. If, however, a way is found to make up the honest . difference _be- tween foreign operation and American operation, then the president may find the public has changed somewhat, and is with him.
