The following explanation of the plan to put the United States Merchant Marine on sound and stable basis was written by Wesley S. Jones, United States Senator from the state of Washington. He is the author of the Jones Merchant Marine Act and is in charge in the United States Senate of the New Ship Subsidy Bill. "The account follows:

For 60 years before the World War for eigu ships carried most of our import und export commerce.

The plea that those who could do the carrying the cheapest should be allowed to do it was given great weight. That was gool for the time, but proved most expensive in the ead.

CONSTRUCTION METHODS WASTEFUA. This was not. all. Under the stress and need of war we built ships hastily and wastefully. Nearly $3,500,000,000 were taken from the people through the Trea- sury and put isto ships. That was more than the book value of the commercial ships in the world in 1914. We have those ships on hand now, many of them the up at added expense and none can be sold. They are not considered worth more than $1,000,000,000 and could not be sold for that now to Americans. We might sell them to foreigners who could afford to buy thểm and thể them up of sink them so

By the shipping-bill we seek to so supple- ment the Marine Act 1920 as to make the loss of our fleet leas, get our ships in private hands and build up and maintain a well-balanced feet and save ourselves from another 1914 situation.

The bill in brief provides as follows: The ships we have are to be sold at current world market prices consistent with good business methods. An ample loan fund in provided to be used in building up-to-date shipa, the borrower to put up at least one- third the cost of the ships, to be built with the loan and ample security to be given for the amount borrowed with interest.

The owner of an American veszel during the next ten years may deduet from his in- come the net earnings of such vessel if he will invest an equivalent amount in the building of up-to-date shipe approved by the Shipping Ecard.

A proper allowance for depreciation is to Le made so as to put our ship-people on an quality with their competitors in this respect.

On the income tax that one must pay now a credit is allowed of re per cent. of the freight paid on imports and exporta if the same are carried in Americar ships. This is a direct henefit to shippers and will bring cargoes to our ships.
