This is one of a series of ar-
ticles on the rel-Hun of the
American nary and merchant
shipping to national welfare.
By '1‘. V. O‘L‘ONNO
Chairman. l'. S. Sliippingl‘ard i
i It is generally believed the nau“
merely is an instrument of “ar.
True. it is our first line of del’cnse.
It also, however. contributes largely
as an aid to merchant shipping. and
to the general economic welfare of
the nation.
The physical protection rendered
by our navy to merchant shipping
dates back to 1189 when our
dit’ficulties with Tripoli over depre-
dations on American commerce first
began. Congress soon realised the
futility of conducting an important
trade without the backing of a
‘navy. and ordered the construction
of six frighten; two of these. the
Constitution and Constellation. are
still afloat.
in this campaign against the
Tripolitsn p i r a t o s. Commodore
Stephen Decatur distinguished him-
self both as a fighter and diplomat
and soon put an end to the piratical
practices iii the Mediterranean.
Prcying Upon Neutrals.
5 During the war between England
iand France in 1789. neutral Ameri-
i
can vessels were frequently inter-
sldent Adams finally authorized otir
frigntcs to capture French vessels
guilty of depredntlons on Ameri-
can ships. After a. few sea fights. in
which the American navy again dis-
tinguished itself. the objectionable
practices were abandoned by the
French.
The war of 1812 also had its ori-
gin in our situation as a neutral.
while Great Britain and France
were fighting. The British constant-
ly interfered with our commerce.
The American navy. notwithstanding
the great superiority of the British
ships. won many notable duels. fin-
ally causing the British to discon-
tinue these practices.
Before the Civil War. few Euro-
pean nations ween serious competi-
tors in our trade with China. This
trade contributed greatly to Ameri-
can prosperity. Had it not been for
the American navy this trade could
not have existed since piracy was
common in Chinese waters. Even to-
day the conditions there are unset-
tled. A force of gunboats is main-
tained for hundreds of miles on the
Chinese coast and protection is at-
ed Fire Hazard.

Another important aid is the de- l

will become our future merchant

In this connection every tndu.

Straw Hat Making
Report Is Made
By Government
WASlllNGTON. n. c. on, sis.—
’l‘he Department of Commerce sn-
nounces that. according to data col-
li-t-tcd at the biennial census of man-
1925. file establishments
ture of straw hats (not including
trimmed lists for women atid chil-
dren) reported such products to the
value of 827.392.401 and other pro-
ducts (cloth hats. caps. etc.) to tho
value of 8781.498. making a total
of “8.153109. a decrease of 13.6
per cent as compared with ‘31‘
669.263 in 1928. the last prcccding
census year.
In addition, straw hats are made
to a. considerable extent as sub.
sidiary products by establishmcniq
engaged primarily in other lines of
manufacture. The value of such
little thus made. outside the indus'ry
proper in 1028 was 82,437,786. llll
amount equal to ii per cent of the
value of straw hats manufactured in
the industry as classified. The cor-
responding vnltie f0r 1925 has not
yet been ascertained but will be
shown in the final reports of tho
prescn‘. census.
Of the 83 establishments for 1925.
35 were located in New York. 12 in
Massachusetts, 9 in Missouri. 5 in
Maryland. 5 in Pennsylvania. 4 in
Ohio. 3 in Georgia. 3 in Now Mr-
soy, 2 in Illinois. 2 in Texas. and the
remainder in 3 other States. In
1923 the industry was represented
by 97 establish.cnts. the decrease
to 83 in 1925 being the net result
of a gain of 'l establishments and a
loss of 2]. 0f the 21 establishments
lost to the industry. ill had gone
out of business prior to the be-
glnnlng of 1925. 2 were idle during
1925. I reported commodities other
than straw hnts as their principal
products and were therefore trans-
ferred to the appropriate industries,
and one reported products valued
at less than $5.000.
Mapping the hcavcns has taken
thirty years but the task is now
practically completed. It has been
