tional existence and during the periods
following, while our merchant marine
was being protected and maintained by
national aid, is exactly reversed. Today
we do less than 10 per cent of our for
eign carrying commerce and foreigners
do 80 per cent or over it for us. From
1889 to 1926 we did over 80 per cent of
that carrying trade ourselves and for
eingners did less than 10 per cent of
it for us. Down to 1860 we maintained
an approach to the same proportion;
but for nigh 40 years our shipping in
terests have been neglected and the
inevitable result presents itself to
view.
We have not been without warnings
of that result. Thomas Jefferson
while secretary of state under Pres
ident Washington, referring to this
subject, spoke some pregnant words. 1t
would not be permissible in the time at
command here to set forth those words.
with anything approaching complete
ness.
Those who, many of them uncon-
sciously, are dong the work of foreign
ship owners, are fond of telling us that
our shipping was driven off the sea by
the cruisers of the Confederacy. Have
the cruisers of the Confederacy, too,
excluded us from the sea in the inter-
vening "a or 35 years? The war of 1912
was fought against the greatest naval
power in the world then, and now. Did
it result in driving our shipping COM
merce from the sea? Did it affect that
commerce injuriously in the slightest
measure for any period after it's ter
minatiOn? Not at all. AS before, SO
after that war we protected our ship
ping commerce by .judicious national
legislation. This we continued to do
until the close of our civil war. Since
that time we have left our shipbuild-
ers and merchants in foreign trade to
shift for themselves, and the result
we see in the fact that the American
flag, except when now seen on one of
our war vessels, is a stranger in every
part of the commercial world

Even Senator Hanna and Representative
Payne did not anticipate the vulnerable
points in the bill which bears their names.
But it happened that Gen. Henderson ap-
