NEEDS OF OUR SHIPPING.
The London newspapers admit that
ith the close of the war with Spain
there has come to the United States
an improved prospect for a great
merchant marine in foreign trade.
They concede that the country which
built the victorious fleets of Sampson
and Dewey need not fear competi
tion in material resources, mechani
cal appliances, and constructive skill
from any shipbuilders in the world.
Admitting this, they argue that if we
desire to build up our merchant
marine we must adopt the policy of
free ships. This is the English view
of our future in the world's carrying
trade. It is not the Atnerican view.
We have demonstrated that we
can build the best warships in the
world. "We have shown that we can
make our battle-ships more seaworthy
than those of England, and that we
can give them greater speed without
sacriScing power in battle. We
never have lacked skill in shipbuild
ing. We never have fallen below
British standards in the vescels
turned out from our ship yards, but
we have failed to have a great mer
chant marine because we have been
induced to aJandon a policy that
built up the merchant marine of
Great Britain, and, in fact, of every
maritime nation of Europe. We
have sacrificed the interests of our
shipj-ards to an argument put forward
by Amencan-Biitish free traders.
We have protected the shop and the
factory, but have sacrificed our ship
ping interests to an economic fetich.
It is characteristic of the London
newspapeis to plead now for a repeal
of our registry laws and tor free ships
though the repeal of the reg
ister laws at this time
would paraljze the very industry
which we aim to stimulate. Instead
of repealing any legislation we should
enact such subsidy laws as will take
our American ships into the Atlantic
and Pacific under conditions as
favorable as those under which Eng
land sends her ships to every com
mercial port in the world. With our
splendid achievements in war shut
ting us away from the old era there is
no reason for the old prejudice
against subsidies that has so long
prevented us from securing the full
advantage earned by cur enterprise.
Great Britain is not at all uncertain
upon this point. She paid for foreign
and colonial packet service during
the year 1897-1898 some $3,397,000,
exclusive of the colonial contracts
covering lines between Vancouver
and Australia and between New Zea
land and America. The Bombay and
Shanghai service costs annually
$1,107,790 and the Adelaide service
$710,655. The carriage of the mails
between the United Kingdom and
New York alone calls for $538,470.
In England they do not call these
subsidies. They are subventions or
payments to encourage the shipping
trade, and they answer the purpose.
Germany, too, has " a system . of
mail subsidies for the development
of her colonial and foreign trade.
The subsidized service includes a
European line to Asia and an East
Asiatic line, an Australian line, and
an East African linejat a" total cost of
$1,247,500. Thissystem undoubted
ly will be extended to other centers
of German trade, since merchandise
carried by these ships to China and
Australia has more than doubled in
Talue.
We stand almost alone among the
commercial and naval rations in the
neglect of our shipping interests.
How that we are close upon an era of
great commercial development and
have fixed our eyes on a new field of
trade in the Asiatic Pacific, there
certainly should be among those who
favor the expansion policy no op
position to any plan that will give us
shipping facilities equal to the in
creased and increasing volume of
American trade. The statesmen of
England have never for a moment
neglected to give intelligent consider
ation to their shipping interests. The
statesmen of Germany have followed
the English example with conspicu
ous success. The government of the
United States, looking forward to a
rivalry with England and Germany
on every sea, must . adopt the same
course or confess defeat before en
tering the race. Inter Ocean.
