Will Never Again Trust Con-
 merCe to Foreign Vessels
SECRETARY DANIELS SAYS
Speaks at Launchings at Hog Island Yards and Adds That America Will Never Again Quit Shipbuilding Industry.

Philadelphia, May 3O-Never again will the United States be guilty of the folly of trusting it's foreign com merce to the ships of other nations or of quitting the shipbuilding in dustry, declared Secretary Daniels in an address delivered today at the Hog Island shipyards on the occasion of the launching of five steel freighters the greatest single days launching in the history of any yard in the world The five vessels added 39.OOO tons to the American merchant marine.
 We will not quit the shipbuilding nation,' said Secretary Daniels 'longer live between the two oceans dependent upon foreign bottoms for our overseas commerce.
 Will Not Stop ShipbuiIdine.
 We will not quit the shipbuilding industry or ever again be guilty of the folly of trusting our foreign com merce to foreign bottoms We will put the industry on a firm and sound basis.
 "One of the chief compensations of the burden of the great struggle is the restoration of the American merchant marine, or rather it's re- birth, for we are beginning upon a scale that was not dreamed of even in the early days when the Ameri- can flag and American commerce was seen in all parts of the world Tn spite of the >takes due to haste and the high cost under war condi- tions, a great and lasting good has come from the revival of shipbuild- ing in the war.
 The. genius. statesmanship and skill of America must be united in the development of a merchant marine and naval strength which will not alone contribute to the supplying of the needs of other nations but insure wider markets for the ever increasing surplus of American toil."
