NI3W YORK, NoV. 17. Tho ne

urged by Senator Duncan U. Fletch
er of Florida, at a meeting of tho
Acndomy of Political Science at
Columbia University ns justification
In Itself tor tho enactment of a
bill for tho government ownership
of merchant ships. Sonator Fletch
od had chargo of tho govornment
ship purchaso bill In tho Sonato
last session nnd his words wero lis
tened to ns iudicatlvo of plans for
ounctlng tho measure Into lnw at
the coming session
Need ot Vessels
"Last January, when the ship
purchaso bill was boforo tho Sen
ate, I pointed out that Great Brit
ain, with all of its naval establish
ment, had found It necessary to
commandeer about 1000 morchaut
vessels during tho prosont war,"
said tho Sonator. "I pointed out
our ncod of naval auxiliaries.
Tho need grows on us. Tho gov
ornment Is compelled to build and
acquire Bhlps to meet tho neces
sities of tho navy. Navy auxiliaries
aro a cortaln and controlling need.
Thoso auxiliaries can bo construct

About Prlvnto Control
Prlvato control of transportation

tions in uttor dlarogard of both In
vestors and tho public, no continued
to say.
"Wo must bo froo from foreign
domination," ho added, "I do not
know how this can bo secured except
by governmental control. In view ot
tho great lead that tho merchant
marines of othor countries have se
cured." ' Tho shipping laws onactod since
V"
1912 woro pronounced as the first
aid given American shipping An
years. Ho'dofondod tho terms of the
Seaman's Law, wnlch wont Into ef
fect eight dayB ago, adding that hu
thought It would bo found that tho ,
strongest objections to the act on the
Atlantic coast came from the for-
olgn shipping Interests. Tho Sena
tor denounced the action of the Pa
clflo Mall Steamship Company of
ficials In abandoning their trans-Pa-clflc
servlco on the ground of the
Seaman's law nnd then transferrins;
tholr ships to another ocean where
tho samo law applies with eo.ut
forco.
Demand Is Greater
Tho commercial demand for morn
tonnage Is increasing as tho months
roll by. tho senator pointed out.
"Thero Is no doubt wo havo suffer-'
cd many millions of dollars durln
tho past year In loss of trade and
commorco, and In burdensorao .
freight ratos," ho said. "The rate
on grain to Liverpool is 40 cents a
bushel, whllo boforo tho war it was
4 conts. Tho ratos on flour has
gono from 12 to CG cents n hundred"
pounds. On cotton the rste.ls $1.25,
when formorly It was 30 cents a hun
dred pounds. Eastern railroad ter- f
mlii'tls are congosted, due to lack of
shins. Freight continues to pile up
at tu ports. No law controls ocean
mtos. Wo mny oxpuct to pay foreign
ship owners tholr own price, and that
prlco will bo higher yet. Freight
embargo Is on at Galveston and t
threatened In Now York. Our mar
kets can bo restricted or eliminated
without resort to Import laws con- '
trol of tho moans of transportation Is
sufficient. Tho wolfnro of our pro
ducers is In peril, the necessary
equipment of tho nation Itself Is in-
complete when we aro dependent on
foreign vcssols to reach markets,"
Laws That Wero Falltirw
Subsidy has been a failure, the '
sonator dcclurod. Use ot the phrases
of "socialistic" and "paternalistic" in
characterization of government own
ership ot vessels did not frighten him
In tho least. Ho added that the
same criticism had boon made of the ,
parcels post law, tho postage aavjngs
law, tho rural free delivery law, the
taking over of tho Panama railroad
and oteaniBhlp line, the Interstate
Commorco Commission law, the es
