seded the oil ship or bark or brig bullt
on the shores of Maine. Hundreds of
seaports throughout the world have
never seen an American flax displayed
in oversee commerce within five, ten
or more years. and the reason of this
is not that we have not the work for
those ships; that we have no seamen
to navigate them, but the reason is
that the whole trade of oversee navi-
cation has been excessively protected
This subject divides itself into two
branches: The ship and the voyage.
''e can build ships. but we can't
build them within 40 per cent. of the
price at which they can be built on
the Clyde. e can sail ships, but we
can't sail them within 40 per cent. of
what they can be sailed by other ma
tions and by foreign sailors. There
are two ways of solving this problem.
One is to remove the Shackles which
at present bind the American ship
owner and make it impossible for him
to operate his ships in competition
with those of foreign shipowners, or
he must pay a sum equal to the diff
ference. The American people have
decided over and over again against
subsidy, and therefore Congress at this
time is very wisely considering the
question of how far 1t is consistent
with our American ideals and our re-
quirements, to revice and modify our
navigation laws and, after they have
done that. if they have not put our
shipowners upon a parallel with the
shipowners abroad. they will have ac-
complished nothing and the balance
must be made up by subsidy, or we
shall not see our flag restored on the
ocean,"

President Tripp's Report
The feature of the annual business
meeting was the report of the retiring
president, George b. Tripp, who is
leaving Harrisburg for New York citv.
Mr.. Trip pointed out the the Harris
purg Chamber of Commerce since it's
organization, January 20, of this wear.
has accomplished as much and more
than similar organizations in other
cities of the size of Harrisburg. He
spoke of the publicity work being
done; the activity of the Chamber in
preventing the passage of a municipal
measure raising the mercantile tax
rate from one-fifth to one mill; the
Briggs street opening controversy,
which is being amicably adjusted
thanks to the efforts of the body; the
procuring of the passage of the
"Hardscrabble' ordinance after other
organizations had failed to get this
measure through for years; the blast
ing of the dangerous rocks from the
river this summer; the Fourth of July
celebration planned by the Chamber.
which proved so successful: the aid
given the Wharton extension school:
the doing away of the soliciting
nuisance, and last, but not least, the
decorating of the city for the big fire.
mems convention now on.
Traffic Committee on the Job
President Tripp stated that traf-
fic committee composed of represen-
tatives from the Pennsylvania and
Reading freight departments and the
Chamber are looking after complaints
with regard to rates, delays of ship
ments and other matters which affect
Harrisburg as a distributing center.
In part Mr. Tripp said in conclu-
, sion: THE record of definite achieve
ment demonstrates that the Cham Der
Oh commerce is an eff1cient organiZa-
| ton alive to the present day needs OF
Harrisburg; that it has taken the ini-
tiative when action by it could help
the city and not waited to be prodded
into activity"
Elect Directors; Hear Reports
| Reports of various committees fol-
lowed Mr.. Tripps report as we'll as
the election of five new directors, who
are George w. Bogar, Charles w

titor, or hired wagons from a livery
stable, and that livery man, whom we
were trying to employ was, for the
time being, out of business"
Trade Follows the Loan
Now, there are two formidable
questions which must be solved as
part of this important question of
foreign trade. The first is that of
finance. OF present we have no dollar
exchange with South America.
I'VE have often heard it said that
trade follows the flag. There never
was a greater mistake. Trade follows
the loan and until we can take the
place of Europe as the financial help
of these countries to the south of us,
don't see how it is possible for us very
largely to change the present balance
of trade against us Upon the invest
ment banker depends our trade with
these countries to the south Of us.
The time is absolutely ripe to-day for
the bankers of the United States to
create a loan in any one of those coun-
tries for any sum which Athey can
place, upon the condition that not a
dollar shall go out of the United States
but that the money be used, first to
liquidate the debts of those nations
to ourselves and, second, that the
money shall be paid out for goods
manufactured in the United States"
Transportation Problems
THE next thing upon which our
foreign trade depends, is that of trans
portation, and this is a question we
have had with us for many years. ever
since the British privateers, sailing
under the Confederate flag, sewpt the
American merchant marine from the
seas; ever since the days when tho
iron and the steel steamship super

upon the railroads.
4-America's lack of foreign
trade and merchant marine.
5-The European war. -. -.
With relation to the tariff he said:
"A change of the tariff was demand
ed by the American people, but it was
extremely unfortunate that a party
put in power with such drastic ideas
of tariff reduction: The tariff was
lowered to an extent deemed unwise
by a majority of the leading business
men and manufacturers of the coun-
trly, and the esult has been uncer-
tainty and depression"
He said traffic business throughout
the United States has fallen off ten
per cent; manufacturers have fallen
off from twenty to twenty-five per
cent; the industries dependent upon
railroad prosperity are now doing be-
tween fifty and sixty per cent. of nor
NAL business and there are tens of
thousands of men now in idleness, who
were working before the change in the
national administration.
Tariff Has Disastrous Results
And l wish to say" went on Mr..
johnson, that the new tariff was ac-
cepted by the business men of this
country in good faith. They were
determined to give it a fair trial and
that trial has had disastrous results
to this nation"
Speaking of the Interstate Com
merce Commission, Mr.. Johnson said:
This body has betrayed the scored
trust placed in it's hands, which was
the just control of the railroad. This
hostility to railroads is not confined to
this branch of business. but to every
branch of trade activity"
Foreign Trade Lacking
In regard to the foreign trade and
the war Mr.. Johnson said in part:

Now, 1t is a feet that, with the in

men, conditions were improving last

ing the preceding six months, when
like a thunder clap from the skies, the
nations of Europe plunged themselves
into war The finances of the world
were paralyzed and most lines of in
dustry in this country, as in other in
dustrial countries, were stopped. The
first thought that occurred to Ameri-
can business men was, that Europe al
