ALL THE TRAFFIC WILL BEAR

One of the effects OF the European al is a 50, and in IL case a
100 pes cen increase in freight rates o ships plying between the
United States and Central and South American points.
The steamship companies whose service has been paralyzed in
European waters intend to recoup by taxing American commerce as
heavily as possible. The manager of n company is quoted as saying:
1--WE have to get out of the United States all that the American public
will stand for"
Why should the American people stand for anything? Why not
owl the ships carrying the products raised i'll this and the Central and
South American countries?
With a so or 100 per cent increase in freight rates coffee, sugar,
spices, rubber, etc, coming from Central and South America will cost
the people OF the United States more, and the commodities W e send to
these countries will cost them more.
Why should the western hemisphere suffer for the folies of a few
hottempcred monarchs of the eastern hemisphere?
To develop e trade we must be able to deliver the goods; 20
deliver the goods w c must take them in our vessels TO the coun-
Tiles buying them.
