If foreign steamship lines using
our ports can defy the laws we have
made to protect our people against
unfair restraints of trade because we
must use their ships or cease export
ing our products, ii is high time our
congress set about the enactment OF
legislation to make possible the re
establishment of our own merchant
marine. and that American shipping
once more take its place in the front
rank OF the worlds commerce.
The representatives of some of the
foreign lines. Mr.. Wickersham de

pressed their belief that our govern
ment is powerless in the face of this
combination. One of the most val
liable contributions by the supreme
court to the enforcement of the law
was the adjudication in the tobacco
case that. if necessary, unusual rem
edes would be invoked to carry ont
its provisions: and I have no doubt
that if the government shall estab-

merits the facts averred in the peti-
