suildinn ships for Uncle Sam

Building Ships for Uncle SAM
Perhaps there are diplomatic reasons
as well as reasons Of industrial ex-
pediency for the building In China
of four 1o,000-to ships for the United
States. Be that as 1t may the ar
rangement is Of greater importance
both to Americans and to the Chinese
than might appear at first thought
for never before has any great power
turned to China in seeking assistance
in the building Of ships. On the con-
trary, the Chinese government, In tne
past has found it nesessary to call
upon England, the United States or
japan when she desired to increase
her merchant marine or navy. NO"
she has at Shanghai ship yard, which
ranks among the best In the ~orio'

d'tfonal friendship between the TWO
nations is to be cemented in bonds or
at least in bands, Of steel.
