Jeffersons Foresight rHA'R' N DECLARES de- UPON SUBSIDY LASKER cdm"ERce on seas DS Urges .Members to Square! Before American People For Their Decision Head of Board Place Question l Washington. Chairmaf Lasker of the shipping board Sunday put the merchant future of the American marine squarely up to congress. In an open letter to all membess the bouse and senate he declared - -tthat one of two things must happen- of here must either be a ship subsidy bill or the American commercial flag will retire from the high seas. Valuable word trade will be controlled by other nations. The United States will Java to suffer the loss of the tremendous Investment In constructing the great fleet. The final determination need not be dependent on whether one feels that the United States needs a merchant marine; the fact is that the shipping board is today in possession of the greatest fleet the world has ever known, Lasker wrote. The shipping board admits that it cannot operate its fleet remotely as economically as private owners operate their vessels ; the history of prior boards shows that they were unable to put the operation of the govern-me- n fleet on a proper business basis. The shipping board believes that the fleet under its charge can never be profitably or successfully operated un der government control. What shall we do with this war inheritance? Shall it be sold to private ownership for operation under the American flag? iShall it be sold abroad, pessilily some day to rise and plague us, or shall it be junked and charged off to war cost as powder and shell were charged off? The chairman dismisses as impractical the suggestion that the ships be junked, as it would be an admission that Americans are incapable of opera-atln- g them and it would prove a serious blow to the United States prestige. To sell them abroad, he points out, would be to put in the hands of our competitors an effective weapon to destroy our world trade. By substituting the administrations ship subsidy bill for the present form of operation the ships could be turned to profitable private ownership and the taxpayers relieved of a heavy burden. The ships are costing the government $50,000,000 annually, exclusive of depreciation, insurance and interest. And of 11,000,000 tons now owned by the government Mr. Lasker declared it had been possible to sell only 150,000 tons in the face of current conditions. Since taking over the board every effort has been made to develop profitable shipping lines by congress, he stated. This proved unworkable because at the same time private operation proved unprofitable and there are no purchasers. The shipping board believes that the great purpose before us can be accomplished through the agency of direct and indirect aids, as proposed in the measure now before congress, the letter continues. The fleet was acquired through war necessity. Many of the ships are of the wrong type for peace time trade. There can be- no thought of naval equality with Great Britain unless we have as many ships of proper type suitable for naval auxiliaries. Great Britain already has 250 ships of this class to this countrys fifty. Ships are as essential to foreign trade as are goods. It is not to be supposed that our competitors will always give us ships when and as we need them. Regularity or sailing and Promptness of service are the very life of to foreign trade. Inability market our surplus abroad will mean depression at home. The farmer is vitally interested tn the merchant marine. It is probable that the great carrying nations of the world owing us large sums of money may buy their agricultural oeeds elsewhere. We must Insure such ocean service as will compel them to buy from us. A great toll excessive freight charges may bP collected from us by foreigners. Banks Show Increase ashingfton. Combined resources f the national banks of the country on May 5 aggregated $20,177,000,000, which, with but two exceptions, was greater than shown at any call since pPril, 1921, according to an analysis ssued by Comptroller of the Curren-C- J ' Crissinger. Gave Liberty Her Passports When, in the course of human events, it became necessary for mankind to have a broader basis for its rights, a firmer foundation for Its liberties than It ever had enjoyed before, Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence. Much pedantic learning has been spent to prove that the Declaration Is an unwise political document. From the viewpoint of special privilege and hidebound toryism, no proof is needed any assertion of freedom Is unwise. From the viewpoint of struggling, striving humanity, the Declaration ol Independence is one of the greatest and wisest documents ever penned. It is a call to freedom for Its own sake; to freedom as a right, not as a privilege. Before that time, men had talked much of liberties and little of liberty. They had based their claims on charters won from a reluctant king, and the gains thus made were the peculiar property of those who made them, and of their heirs and assigns. The gentleman of England had inherited one set of rights and liberties, the commoner of the same country another and smaller set, the burgher of Switzerland a third, and so on. There was no common basis, no unity of outlook, until Jefferson proclaimed and the Continental congress indorsed the bold declaration that men have a right to freedom because they are men, and No personality connected with the history of what Is now acknowledged to be the foremost nation on the globe stands out more boldly in all her colonial and earlier events and affairs than does that of Thomas Jefferson. It ought to be a matter of vast Import to the hundred million of our Inhabitants that the first person upon the western hemisphere who had courage and possessed the wisdom to establish the first nonsectarian college in North America was Thomas Jefferson. It was the superior w isdom and foresight of President Jefferson that advised the purchase of what was then known as the Louisiana territory, which, when carved Into states of the Union, now number fourteen very empires, reaching front the Gulf of Mexico to British America every one of which is now worth billions of dollars. But, while that was an act of great wisdom, subsequent events proved it to be almost divine, since by that act that vast domain became a part of our Eats Anything on the Gained Several .

HELD BY STATE DEPARTMENT that governments derive their powers from the consent of the governed. Jefferson gave Liberty her passports and started her round the world. The Declaration of Independence, rather than the Constitution, is Americas great contribution to the age of republics. Adopted Ideas of Others. Thomas Jefferson never laid claim to originality in framing the Declaration of Independence. What he wrote had been' written by others, and the sentiments he expressed were those dilch were on the tongue of nearly every thinking man and woman. Jefferson realized that he was the medium of expression for the people. On the contrary, he himself says: I did not consider it any part of my charge to invent new ideas altogether, and to offer no sentiment which had ever been expressed before. The committee treated the work of their chairman kindly, and the first draft of the Declaration of Independence, now in the possession of the at Washington, State department shows that only Adams and Franklin made any alterations on the paper, and that these are only of expression. These changes were written in by the men who suggested them, and Mr. Jefferson carefully placed their names upon the side of the document, all of which is clearly evident by a comparison of the penmanship upon the paper. Jefferson then copied It once more, but carefully preserved his first draft, now one of the most precious papers In the archives of this government.
