Thegreat conference on lh limit ation ol armaments, hkh ended with uch hippy rrtulu lit Wtthingion, provides lor American naval kirrngtn on in equality with that o( (.rest ilritain, Japan in turn being 40 per ceot le. inn i known popularly ut the 5-S-J naval aitreement. liut there can he no thought of naval equality if that equality i to tett on purely naval ships. A mer chant marine i a much a part uf a nation's navy a the capital ship of the navy iuelf. The veriet layman, if lie l-ut 11(1)1 to cunilrr. will real ise that in time of war a navy re tinue ships for bunkering, hip for supplies, both of the cargo and re frigerator type, to an extent that no navy possees in time of peace. In addition, the very backbone of a iiavy tor otienmve warfare it a merchant Marine of the (at cruier and raider type. Thi was exemplified duriiiR the vi ar by depredations committed by the IViuce Eitel rrrderich. Kron prin Fredcrich Wilhelin, and Moewe. and other fast German merchant ship on the merchant (hipping of the world. It required a wide di version of British naval ship to run down finally and drive these German commerce raiders off the seas. Thus in timet of war fast merchant ships divert the very best of (hips in naval service. Fleet Behind the Fleet When a navy is engaged in either active warfare or a blockade at a great distance from the home base it requires an unending merchant fleet of every type to keep it going fast passenger ships for raiding, scouting, and carriage of airplanes; refrigerator ships for food; tankers and colliers for bunkering;' and regular cargo ships for other supplies. We atl too well remember that when President Roosevelt made the proud gesture involved in the dis patch of our battle fleet around the world it had to be bunkered and sup plied in the Fecific almost entirely by foreign flag ships. Our naval giant, while impressing the world,' at the same time proved its feet were made of clay. Such shame and impotency must never again come to America. In addition to our naval needs, the late war has proved that if an army is to be transported, there must be an unending merchant marine under our flag. It is through the all too late and costly realization of this very need that we find ourselves in pos session of our today's government owned fleet. , Marine Problem Urgent If we are to be on anything like a naval parity with Great Britain under the 5-5-3 program, then there is no problem before the American people that presses more urgently for solu tion than the problem of our mer chant marine. At Secretary Denny bus said, if atl naval armament were ended by world agreement, Great Britain would be mure powerful on the sea than ever in it hinory, be ejuse us vat merchant marine could be ucd, if no other uavy rutted, for war purpotet well as too turn peace need. In the p.eiigcr and combination pa.trnger anj rargo snips, wiucn arc the very backbone of merchant marine for wartime need, we are still sadly deficient, lor our war built fleet include few - passenger ships. Of thi type of ship America da today 75, compared to approxi mately JM) belonging to Great Hri lain, or almost live limes a many such vital ships in favor of Ilritain a against ourselves. When age 'and speed, in addition, are considered, f considered they mut be, the ratio even higher in favor of Great Ilri tain. So that all thought must be nut aiide that there is any possibility of our being on a 5-5-3 naval basis, with Great Ilritain unless and until we have a national policy to insure the merchant marine which must be add ed to the total of our navy to tind the true basis of relationship to the naval actualities of Great Ilritain. To say, without such a merchant ma rine, that the Washington conference has resulted in naval equality between nursrlves and Great Hritain, is to display an ignorance that may be paid for later in the humiliation of our country and at inexcusable sac rifice of life and treasure. U. S. Shipyards Periled. Became one of the major features of President Harding' program is the development of such a merchant marine under private American in itiative, he willingly entered into the Washington pact. With the Wash ington agreement came the cancella tion of many naval ships building and the 10-year naval holiday. unless an American merchant ma rine be created during that period, the art of shipbuilding will be largely lost to America; and if war should come again, we will find ourselves at sad disadvantage to the maritime nations of the world whose shipyards have been kept'alive. J he legislative program crooosed by the administration and now before 'congress is designed to meet at one, tune both the naval and Dcace needs of our merchant marine. In, the next article I shall discuss those peace needs. Th Rm Will HfMMl tha .l..k mmUlm of this srrlm tomorrow. M THK IUNOAV Bit AU REVOIR! Special Wuk of Juiw S to 11. Inclusive.
