Then the supreme humiliation, the admission that the United States our America, once eminent among the maritime nations of the worldis incapable of asserting itself in the peace triumphs on the teas of the world. "It would seem to me doubly humiliating when we own tho ships and fail in the genius and capacity to turn their prows towards tho marts of the world. No Ixmjrer Ijrnorcd. "This problem cannot longer be ignored. Its attempted solution can
not longer be postponed. The failure
of congress to act decisively will be to less disastrous than adverse action. "Three courses of action are possible, and the choice among them Is no longer to bo avoided. "The first Is constructive enact the pending bill, under which I firmly believe an American merchant marine, privately owned and privately operated, but serving all tho peo-
va-st mer-jpie and always available to the govgovernrnent ( mment in any emergency, may be
established and maintained. "The second, is obstructive continue government operations and attending government losses and discourage private enterprise by government competition, under which losses are met by the public treasury, and witness the continued losses and deterioration until the colossal
treasury of the drain It is already; failure end3 in sheer exhaustion, meeting. Iet us omit particulars! "The third is destructive Involvabout the frenza-d war -time build- ing the sacrifice of our slips atfrcad inc. Possibly we did fully as well os or the scrapping of ther. at home.

I1ctlss09 Permit.

I do not vouch for the accuracy of the ifatement, nor mean to discuss it. The allusion is made to reoa.ll that In g-ood con:ience congress has created by law condlMons surrounding labor on American ships Which shipping men the world over dalaxe result In higher costs ot operation under our flag. I sincerely rejoieo If higher standards for labor on American shipa have been established. Merest Justice euggcists that when congress? fixt thev-o standards, it Is fair to extend government cid In maintaining them until world competition is brought to the same high level, or until our shipping lines aro so firmly established that they can face world competition alone.

I have come to ask you to relieve the responsible administration branch of the government from a program upon which failure and helplessness and daggering losses uro written for every page, and let us turn to a program of assured shipping to serve
I u in war and to give guaranty to
our commercial inuepenaence in peace. "I know full well the hostility In the popular mind to the word 'subsidy. It is stressed by tho opposition and associated with 'special
privilege' by those who are unfailing advocates of government aid Whenever va.'t numbers are directly concerned. 'Government aid' would be a fairer term than 'subsidy in defining what we are nekin to do for our merchant marin, and th interests are those of all the people, oven though the aid goü to the few who terve.

a few In house or senato have expressed personal sym.pathy with the purposes of tho bill, and then utter ed a discouraging doubt about the sentiment of their constituencies. It would be most discouraging if a measure of such transcending national importance muet have its fate depend on geographical, occupational, professional, or partisan objections. Frankly, J think it loftier statesmanship to support and commend a policy designed to effect the larger good to the nation than mere, ly to record the too hasty impressions of a constituency. Out of tho harmonized aspirations, the fully informed convictions, and the united MTorirt of all the people will come the greater republic, commercial eminence on the seas, ample agen
cies for the promotion and carrying!
producing population, whether of mine, factory, or farm, because' ex-j pandlng commerce Is the foremost thought of every nation in the world i today. I I bellevo In government aid be- j
comingly bestowed. We have aided industry through our tariffs; we have aided railway transportation In land grants and loans. We have aided construction of market roads and the improvement of Inland waterways. We have aided reclamation and irrigation and the development of water power; We have loaned for seed grains in anticipation of harvests. We expended millions in investigation and experimentation to promote a common beneilt, though a limited few are the direct beneficiaries. We have loaned hundreds of millions to promote tho marketing of American goods. It has all been commendable and highly worth while. I'armcr Suffers. At the present moment the American farmer Is the chief sufferer from the cruel readjustments which follow war's Inflation?, and befitting government aid to our farmers is highly e-isential to our national welfare. No people may safely boast a good fortune which the farmer does not share. Already this congress and the administrative branch of the government have given willing ear to the agricultural plea for post-war relief, and much has been done which has proven helpful. Admittedly, It is not enough. Our credit systems, under government provision and control, must be promptly and safely broadened to relievo our agricultural distress. . To-this problem and such others of pressing Importance, as reasonably may be dealt with In the short session, I shall invite your attention at an early day. Lack in Confidence. I have chosen to confine myself to the specific problem of dealing with our merchant marine because I have asked you to assemble two weeks in advance of the regularly appointed time to expedite its consideration. The executive branch of the government would feel itself remiss to contemplate our yearly loss and attending failure to accomplish if the conditions were not pressed for your decision. More, I would feel myself lack in confidence for America'y future if I failed to stress the beckoning opportunity to equip the United States to assume a befit-

Only Seven Out of Twenty Countries Make Move to Pay Interest. I1Y WILIiLYM J. IX)SII' (U. I. SUiff OorrtiK)iilcnt.) (Copyright. 1922, by, U. P.) WASHINGTON, Nov. 21 America's chances for obtaining quick action thia winter on refunding of the debt owed heu by foreign countries, aggregating over $11,000,000.000, appeared dimmer here today as inquiryrevealed few countries have made any actual moves toward establishing contact vith the debt refunding commission. Of 20 nations, benenrlaried of the American treasury during war years, only seven, according to the records of the commission, havo made over tures looking toward refunding negotiations. These aro England, France, ßel-gium, Jugo Slavla, Rumania, Italy and Poland. The degree of their first respondto American invitations to "come and talk it over" varies Tho berief Is held that the procrastination of foreign countries Is c-ccartloned not only by their Inability to see th-eir way toward paying even if the debts are refunded, but because in 1919 they wer? all informed that thlfl country was willing to declare a three-year moratorium on payments pending refunding arrangements, iif the countries would immediately enter such negotiations. Remains Valid. The proposal was never acceded tx, but tho imprealon apparently prevailed that the three-year moratorium n overt he leva remained valid. Thia expired in April of this year.
