Need of Men for America's Gigantic
After-the-War Merchant Fleet Means
Taat Youngsters of Today Must Be
Taught a Love for Ooing to Sea.
NKW YORK, Oct. 17. At the suggcs
tion of Kdward X. Hurley, chairman of
th United Ntntcs shilling board, toys
tiro to he put to a new use that of od
ur.atingthe rifting generation to the val
no of an American merchant marine
while nt the name time developing in
hoys n. love for the son us a profession.
AVitb a possible tonnage of 23,000,000
shortly after the close of the war to the
eredit of the country's merchant ma
rine. Chairman Hurley is concerned
with ways and means to keep this great
tonnage Adequately manned when this
country, in common with the rest of the
world, nettles down to the stiff inter
national competition for foreign trade
which it is predicted will follow the
close of hostilities.
Just previous to the time that Chair
man Hurley sent word to the American
Toy Manufacturers' association .that he
wanted its cooperation in furthering
the idea of an Amcricnn merchant ma
rine in the juvenile population of the
nation, the toy manufacturers were per
turbed at the prospect of their industry
being declared a "nonessential" by the
war industries board, which would have
meant, as a matter of course, that sup
plies of matcriuls, coal, and transporta
tion would be denied them. The manu
facturers formed a federal war service
committee and went to Washington pre
pared to convince the war industries
ooaru ana me council or national de
fense that the continuance of toy manu
facture was essential to the mainte
nance of a proper morale among juve
nile Americans during the world war.
Mr. Hurley, however, hit upon his idea
at just the right moment before the
Washington wur bodies had had an op
portunity to make a ruling as to the
stutus of the toy industry, and now the
industry is securely classified as one of
the nation ' "ossontinl" industries.
The toynmkers' worries ended when
they received the following letter from
. the shipping board 's chairman :
"Mr. A. C. Oilbcrt, Chairman, Amcri
can Toy Mfrs. ' Association Commit
tee, Now Haven, Conn.:
"I am informed that the American
Toy Manufacturers' association ap
pointed at its war convention last week
once an A toy manufacturer,' givo your
ideas as to how wo may best co-operate
in this project, and tell me what you
think of the idea from a business stand
point as well as that of national serv
ice: . ,
"Hoping to hear from you at your
convenience, and with personal good
wishes, I am,
"Sincerely yours,
"EDWARD N. HURLEY.
"Chairman United States Shipping
Board."
X'pon receipt of this letter, Chairman
Gilbert summoned the. toy manufactur
ers' committee for a conference in
Washington, where conferences were
held with James H. Collins, assistant t$
Chairman Hurley, and then , with Mr.
Hurley himself. Mr. Hurley told the as
sembled manufacturers that the new
toys should emphasize the . peace . time
uses of ships.
"i am just a mucn interested in
looking out for the boys who. will bo
sailors in 1829 as for the ones who will
come on. next year," Chairman Hurley
said. " I would like to see a book that
will tell about how a cabin boy became
a captain; a game that will take a cargo
boat from .New lork from port to
port, and back again; a wooden ship
that can be assembled and will sail
and other items of a similar character."
Tho shipping board's chairman said
that he would do everything he could
to push the new idea. He said he would
write introductions to nooks, write ad
vertisements, give his O. K. to toys, or
do anything else that would help put
the pfan through. The only thing he
wants is a quick response from the
manufacturers, and of this assurance
was given bv Fletcher F. Dodge, secre
tnry of the Manufacturers' association,
who, at his headquarters in the Flat
iron building, said the toymakers were
fired with enthusiasm to give effect to
Chairman Hurley's suggestions. . Mr.
