I see that some if my friends in
Gainesville were displeased with
my course in 1915, when 1 insisted
upon the freedom of the seas and
the right of citizens cf Georgia to
ship their cotton into every neutral
port of the world.
In the Russian-Japane.se war
Russia sought to stop cotton ship
ments to Japan. England protested
against this action and made Rus
sia yield. I knew our people had
the right to sell their cotton in any
neutral port of the world; 1 knew
that this right was established by
international law. My constituents
had suffered so much from the loss
of markets for their cotton in I!»14
that I was bent upon obtaining for
them their well-established rights
to the freedom of the seas and the
freedom of the use of neutral ports.

New York.—Th(» tales of the s *n
must become the gossip of the nursery
and of the fireside if the United States
hopes to develop n great, sueeotfcful
mereimnl marine and become a nation
of shipping, in tlie opinion *f John Bar
ton 1'ayne, chairman of the United
States shipping lx urd. who. In a lues
sage to the members of the Old Colony
j club, urges that a great public cam-
j pnign lie inaugurated to trueh tlie pen-
] pie of America to “think and act in the
language of shipping.
“The war lias given us ships.” say*
Mr. Payne. “We now have 1.300 ship ,
ping board ships, operating 41 trade i
; routes, currying our products - tinder
our own flag Into the important world!
I ports. By the end of 1020 this number |
will he increased to some 2.250. Sales j
j of ships to Americans are being made j
but the sales .In not keep pace wilt j
1 the new launchings.”
Is Pressing Problem.
The problem of establishing a permn
nont marine presses for solution. Mr. |
i Payne emphasizes, lie contends that ■
no question of government ownership
is involved. The question, lie says, i-
not between public and private own j
ersltip, but between American and for j
oign ownership.
“We want an established Amerieai 1
merchant marine; how it shall hr j
owned is less important,” he says ]
' “We desire that every ship now gov-]
eminent owned shall he sold to and :
lie privately owned and operated by ]
Americans for Americans, but that will ]
come later. The ciiief thing in hand is j
to create a merchant marine.”
Ships alone will not create a mar
chant marine. Mr. Payne reminds the
Old Polony club members. “Indeed,”
lie warns, “unless we have men. money
and brains In the shipping business
ships tuny become u liability rathei
than an asset. How, then, may a mer
clt,ant marine lie established? Tt can-
j not lie done in a day. Tt cannot be
] done by legislation. It requires time
I habit, growth and individual capacity.
j Initiative and enterprise.
“Many seem to think tHe shipping
j hoard can do this by reducing prices of
] ships, and instantly shipping men will
spring up and all our ships will lie
[ bought by private owners, and. pres
] to! a merchant marine is a fact. This
| is a serious error. A substantial reduc
tion in price would undoubtedly sel'
some 300 ships, but this would not
touch the problem. Ships cannot be
sold in large numbers until the enffi
try is prepared to buy them. It 1* »*t
now prepared.
Must Acquire Ship Habit.
“We have not acquired the ship hah
It. Who loans money on ships? Who*,
of your acquaintanceship would buy n
ship mortgage? Are your neighbors
sending their hoys to sen? Those
things must come to pass before
we- are a maritime nation, prepared tc
buy over 2,000 ships.
“My conclusion is it is not possible
(o have a successful merchant marine
until the country grows into the ship
habit. The American newspapers nnf
magazines must arouse the thinkinp |
men among manufacturers, investmen'.
bankers, farmers and labor to the I
necessity for a merchant marine; tp-act
the*people to think and act in the lan
guage of shipping. They must first tin
derstand, then they will net.
“Already great strides are being
made. Even now we have 300 firms oi
companies operating shipping hoarf
ships. They employ on land and seo
nearly 00,000 men In the service. We
mnintnin a reeruittng service ana
school to teach officers, engineers nnc
sailors how to do the work and fit there
for the sen.
“American insurance is essential
Companies must he encouraged anf j
new ones established, that we he nol
dependent on foreign companies foj
our ship insurance. The Amerioar
bureau of shipping must lie developed I
and strengthened to the end that in!
all technical matters affecting ship ]
ping we may lie independent of anj
foreign institutions. To accomplish thb J
task, all Americans must pull togeih
er. The tales of the sen must become
the gossip of tiie nursery and of the
fireside.”
