USELESS LAWS.
A very outspoken survey of the shipping position in the United States was made by Mr. Victor M. Cutter, President of the United Fruit Company, in a speech deliver- ed at a recent business gathering in New York.
"All American shipping compan- ies," he said, "are faced by the pro-
blem na to whether ships should be
built in our own country or abroad. Th e is no question as to the iotism of American firms in the ping business. The fact is,

All solve the problem. "We are agreed," he said, "that for the pur- pose of national defence we must have an American merchant marine. We probably need also our own merchant marine in order to protect our agriculturalists and manufacturers, and to maintain our proper position in the markets of the world.

Merchant Marine.
As to Government operation of the merchant marine, he said, ini- tiative and aggressive action on the part of shipping men is needed to
Look Junk."
"It must be remembered," Mr. Cutter said in conclusion, "that other nations, especially Norway and Germany, have been since the war and are now constructing ton- nage which will be most economi- cally operated, and which makes a large part of the present American marine look like junk in There is a greater

The device automatically picks shipa distress calls, and operates special signal note which summons the wireless opera. tor, even when he is off duty, from whatever part of the ship where he may be.
