City Official Paper
NOME, ALASKA, JULY 24, 1915.
Despite the insistent statements of
the ship building and ship owning
firms that every ship building plant in
the country was busy at the task of
building additions lo the American
mercantile fleet, made at the time the
ship purchase bill was receiving the
doubtful consideration of the last ses
sion of Congress, it appears from a
bulletins Issued by the dept, of Com
merce that the gross tonnage added to
the merchant navy during the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1915, was scarcely
equal to the corresponding period of
the year 1914, all of which seems to
deny the contentions so vehemently of
fered to Congress and the country in
opposition to the ship purchase bill.
As a matter of fact, were it not for the
additions to the merchant fleet through
the medium of the ship registry act of
August 1914, the gross tonnage added
to the American owned merchant fleet
would be less than for many years.
According to the bulletin the total
number of ships built in the United
States during the last fiscal year was
1226, tlie total tonnage of which was
215,711 gross tons while the number
and tonnage added during the preced
ing period was 1291 and 311,578 or a
difference of sixty-five ships with 95,
S67 gross tons less. With the addition
of the foreign bottoms purchased un
der the registry act, however, the
gross tonnage added to the fleet was
the greatest in the history of the
United States and approximated a
total of 744,618 tons. Out a small por
tion of this Increase was really Amer
ican, it must lip remembered—less than
one-third in fart—and therefore can
hardly be reconciled with the vehem
ent protestations of the politicians and
the subsidized press that America was
building her own merchant marine.
Also it must he considered thnt but a
portion of the vessels built in Ameri
can shipyards were ocean going crafl,
the majority being designed for coast
wise traffic. This is indicated by the
fact that over eight times the number
of vessels were built in the ship yards
of the United States than were pur
chased from foreign sources, yet with- i
a!, tlie gross tonnage of the entire!
American built fleet is lesB than half of |
-g— - -.'-’J „ -'I .
the tonnage purchased. In other words ^
the total tonnage of the 1226 American
built ships was 215,711 while the ton
nage of the 147 purchased vessels was
528,907 tons. If we except the small
craft from the total number of vessels
constructed, the remainder will form a
pitiful example of the efforts of the
corporation-controlled ship yards to
supply the, American nation with a
merchant fleet. As a matter of fact
comparison discloses that there was
less tonnage added to the merchant
fleet during the past fiscal year than
for many years and although it is
pointed out that the total Incerase, in
cluding the foreign purchases, was the
greatest in history, at that it was but
25,932 tons more than was actually
turned out of the American ship yards
In the year 190S, the total tonnage of
that year being 718,683 tons.
Higher education is facing an over
production of graduates, according to
a supplemental report of the census de
partment, which shows a total of i
000,000 graduates into the “learned"!
professions during the ten years from j
1900 to 1910. It appears that the!
young man, in pursuing special
knowledge for professional work, has
gone about it in such droves as greatly!
to oversupply the demand, and com-1
plicate the problems of a successful |
professional life. It is held that the
general quality of professional train
ing and mental equipment is higher
than that of a decade or two ago and
I that the young doctor or lawyer of to
jday Ir better qualified for success than
the graduates of the past. The diffi
culty is that the opportunities for ad
vancement do not exist for the number
of men who seek it. Industrial or com
mercial careers now offer far better
opportunities to youth than the profes
sional life, and the years spent in
special training for the learned pro
fessions would be much better spent
In preparing for a business life.—P. I.
