PUT U. S. BOATS
ON FAIR BASIS.
IS JONES' PLEA
The United States, through the
shipping - board, -is entering; an un
chartered sea. The board is experimenting-
with: merchant j marine,
the Jones bill has been passed, ships
- have ' been allocated, and measures
put into effect, that may or may not
r be permanent.! After complete study
of the shipping; situation a perma
nent shipping; program, a program
to put the United States on an equal
basis with other nations on the seas,
will be adopted, i u
: v That-) the picture described by It. A.
Dean, trustee of -the Fleet corporation,
general counsel for the shipping board,
author of the Jones blU,. possible mem-
i ber of the shipping; board, and Portland
-" ' -visitor.' r : h . n, c, ' 4 i;!
STAGE EXPEBIMETAL ! : '"
He says shipplngi is a new field, for
this epuntry. that experiments along the
lines of operation of our national com
petitors are now being tried in the
United States, and that the present ship
ping' laws and conditions may mot con
tinue in existence after the trials ; are
completed. i v i r il- -; '
- One of the big fights for shipping su
premacy will be on the Pacific Dean
believes. The Orient is unexplored. It
has vast resources, and is a field that
'America must reach across the Pacific
for. As a result, more ships win be
allocated to this coast, he says. as they
' are completed, j and a 1 re-allocation is
very probable i after reports of work
under the present allocation are made.
Like the entire shipping; situation. ; the
allocations previously mads are in the
nature of. experiments, and if It is shown
that this coast can derive greater bene
fits from use of the ships- than can the
Atlantic the tonnage will be sent to this
side of the continent. I
i PRIEJf D OF COAST I .
Dean is a friend of the Pacific coast.
He advocates opening the "neck of the
bottle." He expresses his belief' that all
the ports of the country should be en
couraged, that they: should be provided
with tonnage. - and that commerce, as
suggested by Senator McNary, should
flow through ports that afford the great-
est economic opportunity. He j opposes
round about transportation of cargoes
when they can be , more economically
sent through a nearer port. ! :
- Section 23 of the Jones bill is an ex
periment. Qean' declares.' and may be
suspended at any time, j He pointed out
that America must, to meet foreign competition.-.
place i American- ships on , at
least an equal basis. That was the,ln-
i tent of section 28, providing fori cargoes
I to be carried In American .bottoms. If
I American vessels cannot be supplied in
i sufficient quantity to meet the trade, the
i lew is suspended and a congestion of
i traffic averted. ,
TO MEXT COMPETITION '
- Likewise, the rebate T provision was
incorporated in the' Jones bill to meet
-foreign advantages Dean explains..' In
foreign ports, foreign ship lines were
permitted the i rebate privilege, n. elim-
lnatlng American bottoms from the
carrying trade of those ports. As a
counter weapon against that policy, the
Jones bill provides that the vessels of
foreign companies offering rebates may
be prohibited from entering our n ports.
The problem i of the shipping board,
Pean maintains, Is to successfully meet
competition . of other countries. Until
our merchant marine Is placed on an
equal basis, such a plan is out of the
question. ,, The 1 Jones bill, he claims,
does ibore to place ships of the United
States on an even basis than anything
ever before attempted by this jeoun try.
Dean believes the new, shipping board
Will be appointed this fall. He favors
retention of an eastern member of the
board on this coast permanently, to Im-
partially Judge of conditions and needs
in this territory. The western members.
ber thinks, should operate: largely In the
reaat. ji ; ,.ii ! 111!:1. -. 4
t He' will recommend on his return to
Washington.. Dean said, that the eastern
member of the board detailed to this
territory be given power to decide local
: .questions and act thereon without re
ferring; them to Washington. This is
a part of a plan of decentralization of
authority advocated by i Dean. :
. Eastern Interests, : under present con-
. , dltlons, have the advantage over west
ern shippers In that they can get to
. Washington forrpersonal protests in case
their Interests 1 are 1 in Jeopardy. U Dean
pointed out, whereas coast Interests must
rely on telegrams. Under such condi
tions, the coast Is considerably handl
caped. Through decentrallaatlon of
authority, this; disadvantage would be
' overcome. ' - 1 .:. 4. 1 !:

phatically to the United News Fri

In an Interview on board the Dryden

facing terrifying- actualities. This makes
vastly easier-the task, of so strengthen

"LET'S ADD TEETH" :

- "I would take and combine all that is
good and excise all that Is bad from
both organizations."
This statement, Harding said. Is broad
enough to include the suggestion that If
the , league is so Interwoven with the
peace of Europe that its good must be
preserved to stabilise I the peace of that
continent, then it can be amended or re
vised so that we may still have a rem
nant of world aspirations in 1318 butlded

welcome the creation of an international
association for conference and a world
court whose verdicts upon . Justifiable
questions this country, 1m common with
all nations, would be both willing and
able to uphold. The decision of such a
court, or the recommendation of such' a
conference - could, be j accepted without
sacrificing- on our part . or '. asking
any other power to sacrifice one iota of
its nationality." , -. . - : -
Should he be elected president, Harding
intends, he says, calling into conference
the ablest minds of theScountry without
regard to profession or party, to formu
late a "definite, practical plan along the
lines already Indicated for the consider
ation of the controlling foreign powers."
' The suggestion that America under
take the work of redrafting an inter
national code was recently made in a
statement by Viscount Grey, former
British ambassador to the United States,

would have reasoned, and reasoned cor

argued. There would have been a moral

The assertion Is frequently made, he
added, sarcastically, that America could

nations already belonging could not
