SUGGtlSTS COWARDLY SURRENDER t
"Pathfinder is srlad that'
American people have ; always hated the idea of 'subsides' ;
hence they are suspicious of 'anything that smacks of such
favors. Of course we ought to have a merchant -marine so
as not to be dependent on foreign ships, during peace or war;
but it seems that this can't be. Our shipping laws, which
have been dictated largely ' by 'alien interests and hyphen
ate politicians, favor the : foreigners, and we might as well
reconcile ourselves to this. Great Britain, , France, Italy
Germany Holland, the' little Scandinavian countries,1 and even
Japan, can hate their fine fleets of seagoing shipi, but this
great Afterican nation is unablel to agree orf srplan that will
work. The people of the other nations all stand together
against the world when it comes to an issue! of this sort, but
we have such a large and, powerful ' alien element ' in our
population that we : can have no national policies: .. So let's
have no hloreC sentimental nonsense about .'keeping the stars
and stripes on the sea. Let's haul down the flag deliberately,
sell our sltiipi to thi foreigners or junk them,! and own that
we're bt'Pathfinder? Washmgton, D. C. (. ' ,

' The ship subsidy bill was killed by a filibustering minor
ity in the Senate, i There was a majprity 'for the bill. "
t But the better way would be a return to the policy that
built up the American merchant marine before the Civil war,;
the policy formulated by 1 the great leaders of the early days
of the. Republic- .'. rj'r , r cd. f. t '
