NEW POLICIES TO HELP
OUR MERCHANT MARINE
WASHINGTON D. C., April 26—
Commending recent changes in Gov
ernment policies with a view to en
couragement of our merchant marine
which give promises of effective re
sults, The Republican Publicity As- j
sociation says, “It is to be hoped that
the people of the country generally
will earnestly and persistently support
their representatives at Washington
to this end. It is to be regreted that
too frequently neither patriotism nor
permanent self-interest prompts Am
ericans to adopt the aggressive tac
tics so common among the people of
our leading merchant marine rivals.”
The two new policies put in-o effect
were initiated by the United States
Shipping Board and the Post Office de
partment respectively. Under the Mer
chant Marine Act of 1920, railroads
are prohibited from making reduced
rates on through shipments of exports j
i or imports unless the vessels upon !
j which the good are :o be carried to ■
I foreign ports or upon which they have i
; been brought inti Cie United States’
! from foreign ports, are American, j
The Shipping Board was authorized,)
however, to suspen t operation of that
provision and n has been under sus
pension until the present time because
the Board felt that American tonnage
was not adequate to serve the l ade of
the country. Now, however, feeling
that the number and tonnage of Am
! erican ships are adequate and the
| routes such as will meet the needs of
j our trade, the Board : as discontinued
' the suspension of this provision and
; henceforth railroads will be prohibit
; od from making through reduced rates
| for other than American ships. This
shou’d have a very desirable effect.
The action tak< r by the Post Office
Department l as in view the transpor
tation of as orge a proportion as pos
sible of outgoing and incoming mail
in American ships. To a large extent
the incoming mail can not be control
led by pour Post Office department. As
) a general rule, however, outgoing mail
! can be so controlled and it is announ
‘! ced intention of the postmaster ger.erl
I to send American mails on American
1 ships unless there would be undue de
: lay occasioned thei'eby. Moreover, the
j Post Office Department ,in cooperation
, with the Shipping Board has sent a
■ representative abroad to make arrange
ments for the transportation of a
| larger part of incoming mails in Am
i erican ships. That this latter effort is
proving beneficial is indicated by the
I fibures which show that during the
| first sixty days of 1924, American ves
j sels handled more incoming foreign
; mail than they did during 7 months
i of 1923.
j Not long ago public attention was
I called to the fact that when British
' merchants sell goods they sell them
; I with the insurance and freight includ
i ed in the contract, thus giving the
British merchant control over the in
j surance premium and the determina
tion of the transportation line to ban
die the goods. The British merchant-!
has taken care to see that the goods
are insured in British companies and |
that they are transported on British
ships. On the other hand, when the
British merchant buys abroad he buys ,
f. o. b. which again gives him control
of the transportation and he favors
the British line in preference to the
ships of any other nation. Unfortu
nately, Americans have not been so
aggressive in their effort to build up [
our ocean transportation service. On
the contrary we recently had the de
plorable example of one of the most
important professional organizations
in the country making a contract
many months in advance for the use
of a British ship to transport their
American members to a world con
ference to be held in London.
It is high time that every reason
able appeal to patriotism and every
reasonable method of compulsion be
utilized to turn trade to American
ships and thus build up and permanent
ly maintain an adequate merchant
marine.
JOHN NASH CHEERFUL
DESPITE MISFORTUNES
The Seattle Post-Intelligencer of j
April IS, gives an account ol- John j
Nash, the aged pioneer of Seward,
who recently had his leg amputated
at Columbus Sanitarium in Seattle,
following amputation of his right leg —
at Anchorage last winter. The Post-1 _
Intelligencer says: “It isn’t a very j ^
bright prospect for me,” said John
Nash, age 7-1, a pioneer of Seward,
with a brave grin, “but I guess I
can stand it better than a lot of j
younger bucks.” I have put in my !
whole life close to old mother earth, j
Nash gave the story of his misfor
tune to the reporters, and a column
was given him on account of his
fortitude and cheerful disposition. Mr.
Frank Cotter, writing to H. V. Ho
ben, on this boat, declared it was
wonderful the way Mr. Nash bore up
and maintained his cheerfulness. He
stated that the pioneers of Seattle
were doing all in their power to
help Mr. Nash, and that he would
soon be with us again.
