By JOHN BARTON PAYNE, Chairman of United 8tatea 8hlpplng - - -" Board. The few American ' shipping companies now in the market cannot, and will not buy all our ships. To illustrate:-. We had a conference recently with one of our largest shipowners He had urged congress to require us to reduce our price of $200 to $225 per ton, to $125 to $140 per ton. We asked him how many ships his companies

would buy at his prices. He replied.

About ' 100." We then asked how

many the entire shipping interests of

the country would purchase. He re

plied. "About 200 more. We then asked, "How does that leave the government? We sell you 300 of our beat

hand picked ships at 40 per cent less

than cost. We are left, with more than 1,800 ships of all sorts on our hands, which the government must operate in competition with the better ships of the private owners. That will not solve the problem. Your- few compan

ies with 400 or 500 ships do not make a merchant marine adequate to the needs of the country. Must the government, after selling you its best ships at much less than cost, less than you -can possibly build them for, keep

the poorer ships and operate them at

this great disadvantage? : He admitted that his plan would not solve the

problem, and that he was probably

looking at it from his own rather than the government's point of view.

What; then, is the solution? Congress should let it be understood

that it will not compel the board to

sell ships. Agitation to this end keeps conditions unsettled and prevents sales. The hope that congress will compel us to sell the ships in a short time heads buyers off, hoping for low prices. The shipping board must be left to deal with the problem. We are making a number of sales, and the demand at present prices is increasing, but much time must pass before the ships can be sold. . No new enterprise, involving billions of capital was ever established in a day.

My conclusion is. It is not possible to have a successful American merchant marine until the country grow3 into the ship habit. u (a) The American newspapers and magazines must arouse the thinking men among manufacturers, investment bankers, farmers and labor to the necessity for a merchant marine; teach the people to think and act in the language of shipping. They must first understand, then they will act. Already great strides are being made. Even now, we have 300 firms or companies operating shipping board ships. They employ on land and sea nearly 60.000 men in this service. We maintain a recruiting service and schools to teach officers, engineers and sailors how to do the work and fit them for trie 86& (b) The congress is giving the matter close attention, and besides the Greene bill, should pass a mortgage bill, substantially like the one now be

fore the merchant marine and fisheries committee, to guarantee investors

a lien for - the purchase price of the

ships which will, -In financial circles, have a much value as a railroad mortgage, and investment bankers and the public may freely .invest in ship securities., : (c) American insurance is essential. Companies must -be encouraged and new ones established, that we be not dependent on foreign companies for our ship Insurance, as we are now. This is of great Importance. (d) The American bureau of ship? ping must be developed and strengthened to the end that in all technical matters affecting shipping we may be independent of any foreign institution. Meantime, with the aid of Individual operators, we operate the ships with as much profit as unsettled conditions of the time permit, but nevertheless with a profit, and the work of creating an American merchant marine goes on. These are the high lights. To accomplish this great task, all Americans of all classes must pull together. The tales of the sea must become the gossip of tbe nursery and of the fireside. It is not possible for America to hide her head in the sand. Will she attempt a splendid but decaying isolation, or will she go down to the sea in ships, and using her own Panama canal, unite Americans, the Orient the . Occident, In friendly trade, and lend her aid toward an enduring peace?

Argentina Refcses to ' . Accept Pclith Consul . (By Associated Press) BUENOS AYRES, Dec. 13. The Argentine government is reported - to have ; Informed Poland ' that ' Count Xavier Orlowsky, who was appointed Polish Minister to Argentina, is persona non grata because his wife is an Argentinian and tbe count owns a large amount of land in this country. Newspapers here protest against this reported action of the government La Raxon saying: "Refusal to receive such a personality as Count Orlowsky because of these reasons is- a stupid pretext. The Warsaw government will now send us a vice-consul." - "That Count Orlowsky is a landed proprietor here and his wife is an Argentinian should have been., good reasons for strengthening the happy relations between the two countries," remarks El Diario.

Careless Handing of Potatoes is Costly Improper handling and storing of potatoes last winter In Indiana alone cost "producers, it Is estimated, more than $1,000,000. Much of this enormous los of valuable food might have been prevented. The potato is subject to several diseases during the growing season, and yields are largely dependent on weather conditions. Often, however, the losses are heaviest in the late fall and winter after the crop has been produced, from rots In storage. These storage losses are to a large extent preventable. Losses summarized: Delay in digging until some of the tubers at or near the surface have been frosted. Cutting and bruising, of the potatoes during digging.

, Permitting the potatoes, after dig-

Care should be taken that none of the potatoes near the walls of cellars or bins freeze. Care in handling the potatoes, sorting out the diseased and cut potatoes before putting the crop in storage, avoidance of chilling or heating the crop, and the provision of a cool, dry, well ventilated storage will result in largely preventing losses.

They wanted qualities that heretofore only large, fine cars offered. But they prized such light car advantages as economy and nimbleness.

The Essex was designed to embody the wanted qualities of the finest cars, in a size it would be possible to build at moderate cost.

What thousands say of it proves how well If meets those exactions. Costs Less to Operate Easier to Handle With the Essex you sacrifice no pleasure, comfort or performance ability that the big, costly car can give. What car can show more speed? In any community you will, find the Essex is rated with the fastest. In less than a year it has established its position as a performance car that all respect for ability.

That is its endurance, which accounts for thousands of miles of transportation, free of repair or annoyance. They have discovered the Essex requires little attention. Its solid, compact assembly, that has been proved in every trying test, will satisfy you, too, of its endurance powers. Then take a ride in the Essex. It will reveal qualities that charm you as they have nearly a million others. And you will make sure of having your Essex when you want it by placing your order well ahead of the desired delivery date.
