The American plowmen are interested in sea com.

to salute a foreign flag every time a farmer wants to ship
a bushel of wheat, a bale of cotton or a pound of farm
products across the ocean. The American farmer is en-
titled to the protection of his flag in sending his products
across the sea, and Congress should give such encourage
ment to shipping interests as is necessary to meet foreign
competition in ocean commerce. A recent bill known as

as on the whole somewhat pedantic,
but as not in intent or in any degree

1T is regretted that the president
has not seen fit to accept the British
suggestion in this country and if
necessary carrying the appeal event
ually to some sort of an international
tribunal.
"The only danger that is foreseen
here from the, presidents attitude is
of political kind. The presidential
election in the United States is draw
ing near and in presidential cam.
