coal for our engines, our furnaces and
our firesides! 1t ought to be apparent

there must be something wrong in our
shipping laws and maritime regulations

couraging to those who are Interested in
American shipping to see our harboF
filed up with foreign vessels, their flags

statute book of maritime legislation
governing our shipping interests that
stands between Us and complete sur
render to foreign countries, and that il
the law prohibiting foreign vessels
from plying between American ports"
