at the rate which Congress has fol-
lowed for the last two years in drib-

preparation and make an appropriation

can vessels drawing subsidies and
foreign built vessels which have ac-
quired American registers are avail
able for impressment into war service.
At the present time the largest number
OF the subsidized steamers belong to
