AN AMERICAN MARINE
Two interesting and important addresses were re
cently delivered by Commissioner W. S. Hill, of the
United States Shipping board, on the subject of the mer
chant marine. One address was before the middle West
foreign trade committee at Cincinnati, the other before
the Mississippi valley foreign trade conference at St.
Louis.
Commissioner Hill took the viewpoint of the middle
West and dwelt upon the need of an American merchant
marine from the farmers angle. He called attention to
the lack of information among Western growers about
ocean freight rates and to the fact that wheat raisers, for
example, have been mulcted millions of dollars because of
this ignorance.
An American merchant marine, owned by Americans
and manned by Americans, is essential to the prosperity'
of the farmers in the great grain-growing areas of the
country. But, as Mr. Hill points out, ships alone are not
sufficient. If the country is to have a merchant marine,
American shippers and all American citizens must get be
hind the proposition and see to it that American ships are
employed to transport American connnidities.
According to the Department of Commerce, Ameri
can vessels are losing ground in the tonnage carried in
the foreign trade. During the first ten months of this
fiscal year American ships carried 38.56 per cent of in
ward cargoes as compared with 41.97 per cent during the
corresponding months of last year and 38.05 per cent of
the outward cargoes as compared with 41. 86 per cent for
the corresponding months of last year.
During this same period this year the gross tonnage
inward amounted to 56,382,000 as compared with 56,478,
000 last year while the gross outward tonnage this year
amounted to 56,959,000, as compared with 57,643.000 last
year.

A DOUBTFUL VOTE
They say the Yale students disapprove of prohibition
but whether this is an argument for or against does not
quite appear. __
