not for the matter of ocean transpor-
tation. The statement recently made
by p. A. S. Franklin. vice president of
the International Merchant Marine
company, therefore comes as surprise
to many.
The great need" he said, ''is not
for ships; the need is for business for
the ships. There are more ships here
offering to take grain than there is
grain to carry. There are more ships
ready to take cargoes to South Amer
lea than there are cargoes to be had.
There is a financial side to that.
South America has been Injured by
the war. Its buying capacity has
been curtailed. On the other side of
the Atlantic, France has been SINH
larly hurt. If she can arrange to
buy. no doubt cargoes will move to
her ports at once. The same obtains
with South America. 1t was Great
Britain, Germany and France that
advanced money to South America to
develop her resources; In return for
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1914-09-25

this South America gave the bulk of
its trade to those nations. European
sources of supply for development
have now been cut off. If we should
now step in with our own money, it
is more than likely that this would
open the way for our trade"
Reverting to the transatlantic
trade, Mr.. Franklin said regular
liners have plenty OF room for home
corners, but the eastward passenger
traffic is practically dead.
Asked his views as to the pros
poets of immediate revival of Amer
ica's merchant marine, Mr.. Franklin
said:
IF the United States government
will grant us the same terms that
the British government gave to the
Cunard line this company will i'm
mediately begin the construction of
two steamships that will be the
equal to the Mauritania and the
Lusitania. And the contracts will be
let to an American shipyard.'
