The trade between the eastern ports
of the United States and South Amer

equals something like $3.50. 0OO, 600: but
European nations, approaching the
growing character of this trade, have
by subsidies and other means of en-
enlargement so increased the sailinps

the American commercial flag be made

it is also true that the ownership of
merchant marine greatly enhances the
opportunities for extending trade for
