hopes to develop a great, successful
merchant marine and become n nation
of shipping, In the opinion of John ltar
ton l'nync, chairman of the United
States shipping board, who, In a mes
Hnge to.tho members of the Old Colony
club, urges that n great public cam
paign bo Inaugurated to teach the peo
ple of America to "think and act in the
language of shipping.
"The wnr has given us ship." says
Mr. Payne. "Wo now hnve 1.300 ship

In medical scionco tho "war surgery

This means that for thu wounded In

Tho number of wounded Americans
In hospitals in Europe and America
was 277,000 at tho time of tho armis

crshlp, but between American and for
eign ownership.
"We want an established American
merchant murine; how It shall be
owned Is less Important," he says.
"We desire thnt every ship now gov
ernment owned shall be sold to and
be privately owned and operated by
.Americans for Americans, but that will
come later. The chief thing In hand N
to create a merchant mnrlne."
Ships alone will not create a mer
chant marine, Mr. Payne reminds the
Old Colony club members. "Indeed,"
ho warns, "unless we have men, money
and brains. In the shipping business,
ships may become a liability rather
than an asset. How, then, may a mer
chant marine be established? It can
not bo done In a day. It cannot be
done by legislation. It requires time,
linlilt, growth and Individual capacity,
Initiative and enterprise.
"Many seem to think the shipping
board can do this by reducing prices of
ships, and Instantly shipping men will
spring up and all our ships wllj be
bought by private owner, Nnnd, pres
to! a merchant marine Is a fact. This
Is n serious error. A substantial reduc
tion In price would undoubtedly sell
some .100 ships, but this would nqt
touch the problem. Ships cannot be

CLOSE LARGE ! SHIPYARD
Huge Plant Soon to End Its War
. time Work.
One Hundred and Twenty-Two Ves
sels Built at Hog Island Since It
6tarted Operations.
Philadelphia. Tho world's greatest
shipyard, at Hog Island, built to over
come tho ravages of the German sub
marine nnd help win tho war for tho
allies, will launch Its last wartime ship
In June and turn It over to the gov
ernment In September. When the last
of the fabricated ships of the wartime
contract leaves the vast plant on tho
Delaware, Hog Island will have turned
over to tho government 122 vessels, n
record of mom than one ship a week
since the first boat was sent over
board In August, 1018.
Thero have been scvernl double
humchlngs In one day, and on Me
morial day last year five ships were
launched In u little more than an hour,
establishing a world's record.
When Hog Island was going at top
speed (hiring tho war, with M) ways
occupied, approximately X',000 men
were employed. This force has been
reduced to about 22,000, and after tho
last ship Is launched In Juno the force
will he reduced to 25 per cent of this
number. These men will complete and
equip the ships still left to be turned
over to tho government.
What Is to become of Hog Island Is
the great problem confronting the own
ers of the yard. Recently the United
States shipping board took over the
title to tho ground, Philadelphia has
been urged to take over the yard and
continue It either as a shipbuilding
plant or convert it Into a great termi
many wounded were left In the hands
of men of llttlo experience.
"Nothing to It," said fleneral Ire
land, "Hy Just saying the word every
big specialist In the country would
come u-runnlng to help us."
General Ireland pointed out that sur
geons had been reduced from 31, 000 to
2,225, or Oil per cent, nnd Col. William
II. Moncrlof, who had charge of all
tho war surgery, pointed out that 05
per cent of tho major operations from
overseas Injuries have been performed.
"They all worked faithfully till the
armlstlco was signed." Mild Colonel
Moncrlof "From then on we had a
hard time. Hut wo discharged no men

try Is prepared to buy them. It Is not
now prepared.
"We have not acquired the ship hab
it. Who loans money on ships? Whom
of your acquaintanceship would buy a
ship mortgage? Are your neighbors
sending their boys to sen? Those
things must come to pass before
we are a maritime nation, prepared to
buy over 2.000 ships.
"My conclusion Is It Is not posslblo
to have a successful merchant marine
until the country grows Into the ship
habit. The American newspapers nnd
magazines must arouse the thinking
men among manufacturers, Investment
bankera, farmers and labor to the
necessity for n merchant marine; tench
the people to think and act In the lan
guage of shipping. They must first un
derstand, then they will act.
"Already great strides are being
mnde. Kvcn now we have ,100 firms or
companies operating shipping board
ships. They employ on Innd nnd sen
nenrly CiO.UOO men In tho service. Wo
maintain a recruiting service nnd
school to tench officers, engineers and
snllors how to do the work and fit them
for tho sen.
"American lnsurnnco Is essential.
Companies must be encouraged nnd
new ones established, that wo be not
dependent on foreign companies for
our s"'lp Insurance. The American
bureau of shipping must bo developed
nnd strengthened to the end that In
all technical matters affecting ship
ping we may be Independent of nny
foreign Institutions. To accomplish this
tnsk. all Americans must pull togeth
er. Tho tales of the sen must becomo
