powers of the world-in annexlng
Hawaii and the Philippines and in as
suming a protectorate over Cuba.
Neither on the Atlantic nor on the
Pacific will the American people be
satisfied until they have recovered a
fair portion of their own sea carriage
and perhaps more also. The leeway
to be made up is great-the area for
after expansion illimitable. We are, in
fact. about to enter on a new era of
Anglo-American competition.
In the fiscal year ending June last
iron and steel goods were exported
from the United states to the value
OF S1O367, 900, as compared with $57,497,-
OOO in the previous year. Among the
exports Of last year were 25,S6S tons of
pig iron, 22,552 tons of railway iron
| 6i,745 tons OF iron wire, 80, $50 tons of
structural iron and 1610O tons Of steel
| ingots and billets. Most OF this was
sent to the continent Of Europe and to
! the East, but about 10000 tons of pig
Iron, steel billets and manufactured
| iron were sent to Great Britain. The
| tables have turned. America no longer
wants iron and steel from us, but
| needs our market for her surplus pro-
| duction. She does not require to inn
| port plates in order to build iron and
| steel ships-she can, in fact, supply
| these plates to anybody who wants
| them. Why, then, should she not build
| iron and steel ships herself, to utilize
her own material and carry her own
sea traffic? There is no reason in the
world-only a good deal of prejudice
and vested interest" to be got rid of.
| The tremendous increase in iron and
steel production has caused such keen
| competition, and has so stimulated
| economy in manufacture, that never
| has America been in a position to OBJ
! tain the material for modern ship
| building at so low a cost as now. II
| is, indeed, doubtful whether, when the
| longer working hours and larger use
! of machinery are taken into account,
America cannot now build iron and
steel ships cheaper than we can.
Whether cheaper or not, the ships
| will certainly be built-are already be-
| ing built 1t is not the needs of the
navy alone that are crOwdng Ameri-
| can shipyards with work Now that
the carrying business has been formed
| America is able to support the car
/ riers. It is all the development of a
very few years.
1t is probable, therefore, that the
| twentieth century will witness an un-
! paralleled contest between Great Brit
ain and America for the commercial
| sovereignty of the seas.
