were not taken to restore us to
our original position. True, bills
were introduced into Congress
providing for the granting of sub
sides to merchant ships, in weak
imitation of our rivals. But sub

creation of a naval auxiliary of
merchant ships to be at the call

need seemed not to occur to our

tion of an effective character was
possible. 1t was half-hearted and
practically valueless in the matter
of really bringing into existence
a merchant feet that could coop
crate with our navy in time OF
need. Furthermore, because OF
the hostility of certain interests,
the Philippine tariff bill failed OF
enactment, and this stimulus to
our overseas trade on the Pacific
was allowed to languish.

action followed in 1908, when the

What was true of wheat became
also true of cotton. and our sole
market in the Orient renamed
that of agricultural implements,
though even here favoritism and
other causes sent the Oriental
customer to Scotland and Bel
gium.
1t was about this time that the
United States awoke to the fact
that our consumption, great as it
was, had not increased as rapidly
as our production, and for the
first time in our history we were
obliged to seek foreign markets
for our goods. The unexampled
prosperity of our country from
the year 1902 to 1909 had SO slim
ulated industrial activity that we
were over-producing in all COM
modities, and when we sought an
outlet to the East, Japan, with its
cheap labor, had already closed
the open door of the Orient to
US, not by diplomatic measures
which could have been resented
by force of arms, but by CONNER
cial strategy. The European
markets had long since been de

had made it impossible TO com

entire steamship holdings to the

pany having received an enormous
subsidy from the japanese Gov
ernment to make the Transaction
possible.
Then began a rate war such as no
ocean had seen before. Manned
by Chinese sailors and partly
aided by the inadequate marine
bill, the Pacific Mail undertook
to meet this new competition.
But for years. largely because of
sentiment. it had maintained a
line of steamers down the west
coast to Panama which, because
of the postal contract with the
United States. had made schedule
sailings difficult and had eaten
heavily into the Trans-Pacihc
/ profits to maintain it. The new
Japanese lines. running with
American ships and manned
with Japanese sailors, now cut
freight rates to a point which
made competition without a
heavy subsidy impossible.
Mr.. Hartman had previously
refused to sell the ships of the
Pacific Mail to the japanese lines
and there ensued a struggle that
was titanic-Harriman alone
against all of Japan. To meet
this. Japan increased the already
