Printing Is the Inseparable com panion of achievement. R. T. Porte TOMFOOLERY MIST END A hundred and ten million Ameri can citizens witness their congress in session for months at a time, wrangling over the passage of meas ures which vitally affect our national progress. They see congress adjourn with most imporlant business unfin ished and they see il reassembled Willi new members and the whole light on an Important proposition again started. They have seen this proeeedure repeated for years at a time while the passage of Important measures affecting the life of our leading industries hung in the bal ance. If one thing aDOTe all others would condemn government owner ship and management of any line of Industry, this example of political rag-Chewing would be sufficient. Wit ness today as an example our Mer chant Marine problem. For many years the subject of a ship subsidy has been a political fool ball. Lead era in congress who are familiar with the situation and who realize the nec essity of government) co-operation and assistance in fostering our ship ping industry are prevented from get ting action on such measures due to delays fostered and encouraged by two by four politicians seeking cheap noieriety. Such "representatives" of the people would make our con gress into a headless, tniless spineless and Jellyfish organization for pure ly political rather than business ad ministration of public affairs. This do nothing policy of our law makers and their suggestions that further delay In passing ship legis lation la probable has forced Pratt deal Harding to come to the front in no unqualified manner and de mand that this matter be settled now. In order to insure development Of our infant industries, America adopt ed a protective tariff for the product of factory, mine and farm. Thus American ships had to be built by the highest paid labor in the World and operated by the highest paid crew. None would have American standards of living lower than they are; but the insurmountable handi cap caused thereby to American (hip ping, built and operated by protected labor in competition with foreign ships is obvious. President Huruiug recognizes these facts and also the fact that as conditions return to normal, as freight rates drop and as competition becomes mine keen the American llag will be wiped off the sea by foreign Competition just as it was previous tO thS world war. He also realises that the American people are tired of the tomfoolery that has been displayed in congress on this measure. II America is again placed in jeopardy thru lack of shipping facilities aa it was at the beginning ol I he war. President Harding real izes that the blame lor :iuch condition will rc4 solely with the men now in congress and upon whose action the Tut ure of our merchant marine depends TALK OF THE UTTLH OLD ItLVt'K HEN Said the little rtd rooster: "OOSh all hemlock.
