The Italians and the Norwegians, who
are our only serious competitors in wood
en- shipbuilding now, and the great
swarm of whose shipping in our ports is
the phenomenon OF the times, buy an
American built ship, and then beat the
American ship masters with it in bidding
for cargoes in any part of the world. 1t
is very striking fact. Italians and Nor
wegians also buy their pitch pine, masts,
and great deal of the other wood they
use in the United States, freight it $500
miles across the sea, and build a ship COM
posed in large part of these materials.
They then sail into New York harbor with
the red flags of Italy or Norway at the
mast head, and take the bread and butter
right out OF the mouths of American ship
masters and of British shipmasters too.
Now why is that? Ask the Italian or
Norwegian Consuls in New York and you
will learn, perhaps for the first time, how
little cost of ships has 10 do with the pres
ent depression of the American carrying
trade. The real cause is that he people
of other nations can send ship cheaper
when they get it ailoat. How is free
trade in ships going to help that?
