 boats cheaper and better than any for
 eign country. What we want is the | government to make 1t possible for our | shipyards to become active again. Do you know that we pay. foreign

 T bring with me a message from
 the New York Board of Trade denounc- ing the humiliation to which the peo-
 pie of the United States are subjected in finding themselves unable to get American colliers to send with our bat tleship fleet to the Pacific and are com- pelled to call for foreign aid to help our fleet around the Horn.''
 Congressman W. F. Humphrey, of Seattle. in his address upon Why America is Losing It's Pacific and Oriental Trade" said there were now only eight American merchantmen up- on the Pacific ocean, whereas about a year ago there were fifteen, and that in the near future all of them will pass from the Pacific unless something is done by the government, We have wasted our opportunities" he said. 'and have wasted our time in talking about trade following the flag. Japan has taught us a valuable lesson. Japan is gaining the mastery of the Pacific"
 At the close of the address of Con- gressman Humphrey. an impromptu discussion was precipitated by Weld ing Ring and W. B. Cragin. the dele- gates from the New York Produce Ex- change. Both are vessel owners and complained against the Federal pro. visions prohibiting the purchase of foreign vessels. They advocated free ships, the same as one Is allowed to purchase other commodities in foreign lands, as well as ship subsidy. They wanted the law repealed that they might be able to purchase boats wher- ever this could be done to advantage. \ President Boulder said this would hot solve the problem of the merchant marine. Senator Gallinger said free ships would not help our ship yards except possibly in a few repairs. Lewis Nixon took a hand in the dis cussion and appealed for more patriotic motives.
