While the shipping interests are clam
oring so loudly that the seaman's act
has sounded the "death knell of Ameri
can shipping comes the announcement
from San Francisco that Mayor Ralph
has made nearly a million dollars from
that industry since the law became ef
fective. Further it is stated that he
American sitftorsliWT th'^ttWe^Atfi
flag. This assuredly does not look like
American shipping has gone to the dogs
of that a government subsidy is neces
sary to prevent the American flag from
disappearing from the seas Neither
does it lend an aspect of decadence to
the outlook for the American merchant
marine to note that on May 1. 1918, there
were three hundred and sixty eight mer
chant snips contracted for or actually
building in American ship yards and de
stined to fly the American flag, regard
less of the existence of the much be
rated seaman's act.
If American shipping is suffering so
severely front the alleged inhibitive pro
visions of t he seamans' act t lint Am
erican shippers are being forced to
change their register to avoid bank
ruptcy how comes it that an individual
who did not go actively into the ship
ping business until that much decried law
became effective was able to make nearly
a million?
Also, how is it that there are more
vessels being built for the American sea
trade than has been the case for years?
It is true that the earnings of Mayor
Rolph may be greatly exaggerated but,
suppose that they represent no more
than one half of the sum stated Con
sidering that the law is only a few
months old, a half million or even a
quarter million looks like a pretty fair
dividend to tlrnw from an industry that
is "decadent” or being "swept frum the
sens.” Opponents of the seaman’s act
will probably seek to explain that thei
great scarcity of ships due to the war
conditions may he held responsible for
this remarkable showing but this does
not by any means explain why it is that
nearly four hundred vessels are to be
added to the American merchant marine
within the next eighteen months. If
American shipping is on the verge of
ruin how comes it that more vessels are
being built in American ship yards than
at any time in the last decade. The war
may be responsible in a large measure
for the extraordinary profils made from
the shipping business by the Snn Fran
cisco mayor but it is hardly reasonable
to suppose that such a great number of
vessels are being constructed purely on
the speculation that war is to continue
indefinitely or for a sufficient time to
allow the owners to profit from war
conditions.
Most of these vessels will not be fin
ished inside of six montns and many
will not be ready for service for a year
or more while the war may be over in
one or two or three months. Now, it is
undeniably certain that the builders of
those vessels are banking on no such
uncertain prospects. It is as sure as
sure can be that they clearly see Just
where tney are going to realize a profit
on their investment, regardless of wheth
er the war continues or not. They know
that condition* will he favorable for
American .shipping long after the war is
over If they did not they would Itardlv
be putting good money Into ships Men
who huild merchant ships are noi of the
class that go at things blindly or who
trust io unstable conditions. They us
ually know Just where the profits are to
come before they undertake a business
enterprise There is little or no specula
lion about their business methods The'
see the future of their business clearly
before they start it so. when We find
i hem going ahead building ships for the
American trade. We nave a decidedly
certain indication that there is money
in the business as far ahead as it is
possible for human beings to see.
That they are ready to spend their
money for ships for .he American trade
regardless of the business damning in
tluences alleged to have been created by
the seaman's act is clear proof that ship
owners do not need to close up shop
merely because the men who man the
ships of the nation are granted decent
working conditions and a wage com
parable with those obtaining in other
lines of industry- Above all It proves
that the talk of the American flag dis
appearing from the seas is buncombe of
the rottenest variety
A NATION REGENERATED
Saturday Evening Post.
It is contended by some that the sport
ing revival in France is Indirectly the
result of universal training Certainly
the statistics sboyv an advance in the
national physical standard How this
training helps in all industrial effort lias
been dwelt on in describing the results
In Switzerland and Qerinanv The same
generalizations apply to France. Hut the
teal worth of the military work lies in
the national spirit developed. The morale |
of the race, nursed in the camps and
barracks, gives today what some glibly
call a regenerated nation. If France is
regenerated she has her army* to thank |
for this birth of new life.
When you see the defenders of France
In the trenches, where every element is
fighting to break their spirits, and con
template the insouciance with which they*
meet the dregs of discomfort, wounds |
and—death, you realize that her* sons arc j
citizen soldiers In the ideal distinctions
of the term. Then another truth dawns
on you Out of solidarity of service
France has found her soul.—Granville
Fotes^ue.
