DECAY OF OUR COMMERCE..
Mr.. Speare, of Boston, Wants Al
other Depa rtment

The House Committee on Interstate
and Foreign Commerce had before it
today Mr.. Alden Speare. of Boston
Mass, the president of the American
Business Mems League. The commit
tee is engaged in hearing the views of
people who are in favor of establish
ing a department of industry and COM
merce. at the head of which is to be
a Cabinet officer.
Mr.. Speares remarks were addressed
principally to showing the decadence
of American shipping interests. He
showed that this country carried only
IL per cent of its foreign trade, while
formerly il carried 40 per cent. This,
he showed resulted in the American
popIe paying 5000, 100000 annually TO
owners of foreign vessels, for transpor-
tation. All this Mr.. Speare thought
might be remedied by a department
such as is contemplated.
The hearings will be continued from
time to time.
