terprise in undertaking to build sea-
going ships away up the Potomac

dustry in this place is typical of the
marine regeneration of the Urited
States as a whole For the first time
in more than half a century we have
an American merchant marine. We
are going to have larger one ana
it is going to carry our goods for our
merchants to our customers in all
parts of the globe. This company
has other vessels under contract and
each one of them will be equally an
accretion to the American merchant
marine as this one, even though they
be at later date.

on this occasion. 1t has been my IN
