OUR MERCHANT MARINE.

~ he merchant marine OF the United states is nearing
the striking total OF about 100000 gross tons. The
growth OF American merchant fleets Is at

Just before the outbreak Of the World War.
These facts are set forth in comprehensive study OF
Americas merchant marine just published today by the

TRADE RIVALRY
FEARED BETWEEN
US. AND ENGLAND
This Is Only Cause Of Friction
Likely. Says New British
Ambassador. 2

/ London, March 2.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press.)-Sir Auckland Geddes
will be the first British ambassador
to go to the United States with a
considerable knowledge of trade at
fairs and a strong conviction of their
underlying importance to the two
countries. Lord Reading had busi-
ness experience, but his mission was
concerned largely with war finance.
Sir Auckland Geddes, as president
of the Board of Trade, had partial
supervision of the consular service
and dealt also with the most i'm
portant business questions of the
kingdom. He brings to HIS new
Office none of the prejudices of the
old school European diplomats, who
considered high politics their sphere
and trade almost beneath their dig
nifty.
The ambassador speaks freely of
the possibility of friction or ill-feel-
ing between the peoples of the two
countries in the near future in the
inevitable business rivalry. Their
position is paramount at the present
time as the two great commercial
powers of the world whose re-
sources for trading equal, if they do
not exceed, the resources Of all the
rest of the world. This position he
considers one which need not cause
misunderstanding if the two peoples
have good will to try each putting
itself in the others place.
