THEN AND NOT BEFORE.

Before we can witness a shipbuild-
ing boom in the United States, some
protection or preference must be shown
for our ships in competition with for
eign ships. The American standard of
wages must be maintained on sea as
well as on land, and the standard of
living on American shipboard must
not be reduced to the level of living
on foreign ships. When these differ
ences are made good by Government
legislation, then we may look for utili-
zaitiOn of our abundant resources for
the revival of American shipping in
the foreign trade, but not before
