IT looks as if congress is not going
to have nerve enough to try to do any
thing looking to the development of
an American merchant marine. There
are plenty of congressman who are
able to see that this country cannot
hope to compete with subsidized for
eign ships without subsidizing our own
ships; but they cannot get themselves
to the point of supporting the prop
osition that is so generally denounced
as the ship subsidy steal" We do not
look for anything to be done in this
line soon, and we do not look for any
extensive development of American
cotton trade in South America until our
goods can be carried there in Amer
ican bottoms.
