Christms,- thought remind us that
our republic never drew the sword
nave in a righteous caue and for the
promotion of the n.csMife from Beth
lehem. America entered the WorM
war in the belief that it was the
last that the. dawn of permanent
peace was near.
Four years of doubt and almost de
npair, and there is r.o peace. The
quarrels and strifes of the Old World
are poisoning the universe like some
plague.
After an unparalleled sacrif.ee of
men and treasure. America is not
credited with the spirit of the Nazar
ene, but is charged with selfishness
and aloofness. Tin ref'ex n ct"
Furore's endless strife an-i tunnoil
is a perilous disregard for law and
order, for the sanctity of established
social customs and for human life
itself all amid an environment of
apparent peace.
It is useless to talk about world
peace until there is a rebirth of the
spirit of Christmas in the human
heart It is admitted that the Christ
ian church has failed in a measure,
because the doctrines of the Xaiarene
have not been tried. True, the church
is a powerful agency for good, yet
the fact remains that it has been un
able to establish the Prince of Peace
on the throne. Yet the world would
have been lost long sWce had it not
been for the church. No institution
is better or stronger than its con
stituent parts.
Whatever may have been or now
may be, our human aspirations, some
how there is lacking in our national
life, that uplifting spirit of Christ
ian loyalty and patriotism, that in
definable love of country so dear to
our forefathers and foremothers. It
may be due to the by-product of a
world war known as internationalism,
or to the effect of too much alien
immigration; yet it is here.
The solution of the viul problems
confronting us as a nation, lies in
les dependence on a nebulous and
material search after world regener
ation and more dependence upon the
tenet and principles of the fathers
and mothers who Jeft us a priceless
heritage; le?s reliance on human
agency and more reliance upon the
help of Providence and prayer.
No mere human machinery, no
mere act of Congress, can keep this
republic great and secure, and able
to set an example to and uplift the
world. We must get in touch once
more with the emotions, with the
sentiments, with the moral and spir
itual forces which surround us, and
which in a mysterious way are wait
ing to be utilized by a groping na
tion. As a people, we are in danger of
losing our national character, be
cause we are crowding out the moral
and spiritual forces of life. National
character is as important as indi
vidual character; the first cannot be
without the second, and both are

WHY SUBSIDIZE
OUR SHIPPING ?
Uniericn Irfgion Weekly)
It is trade that makes nations phy
sically great. Trade means not only
the selling of poods, but the trans
portation of goods from source to
market, whether is be the kitehen
jrarderer carrying a basket of celery
to the county seat or a steamer bear
ing a load of beef from the Argentine
to Italy.
One positive good that was to come
out of the war, we all believed at the
time, was a real American merchant
marine. "The growth, maintenance
and prosperity of American shipping
must be close to the heart of every
patriotic American citizen," declared
the late National Commander F. W.
Galbraith, Jr. "The American Le
gion subscribes heartily to the motto,
'Keep the Stars and Stripes on the
seven seas.' " Six years' service
aboard commerce carriers in all
seven of those seas had given the
Lpion's leader more than an aca
demic interest in America's mari
time supremacy.
Just as land warfare is conditioned
largely by the position of strategic
railways (the armistice could not have
come when it did had Germany held j
anohter lateral line of communica
tions beyond Sedan just as the pa
cirie routes of land tragic become in
wartime vttal instruments for the
prosecution of hostilities, so at sea
do the trade routes of the world be
come the key to failure or defeat,
and the peaceful cargo carriers ply
ing those routes indispensable aux
iliaries of the navy itself.
Admiral Jellicoe has ranked the
British navy and the British mer
chant marine as units of equal
strength in the defense of Britain.
If Jellicoe is right, then the 5:5:3
ratio agreed on at the Washington
conference becomes, giving the mer
chant marines of Great Britain,
America and Japan equal proportion
ate value as defense units. 10 : 10 : 8.
Suppose our own merchant marine
disappears and Great Britain and
Japan maintain theirs at strength;
the ratio declines to 10 : 6 : 8, and
America reverts to the status of a
second-class naval power.
Is there any danger of such a sit
uation becoming a fact? It rapidly is
becoming a fact The United States
owns more than fourteen hundred
ships, but it is able to operate only
some three hundred of them, and
most of the three hundred are in the
hands of ' insolvent companies. Some
authorities assert that no ship of
American registry engaged in for
eign trade today is returning a profit.
The Government itself is dropping
$100,000,000 a year in its shipping
venture.
The Fourth National Convention of
the American Legion at New Orleans
ent on record in favor of the ship
subsidy bill because "it will auto
matically increase the available per
sonnel of the Navy, add materially
to the efficiency and strength of the
Navy, and at the same time be a
great aid to all business throughout
the United States."
Our foreign trade affects the whole
country vitally, the great agricultur
al interior no less than the indus
trialized seaboard. And the amount
of our foreign trade is directly de
pendent on the amount of our ship
ping carried under the American
flag.
