The nations maritime problem
has already been aggravated by de-
lay. The fact that this has been to
large extent unavoidable does not
lessen the aggravation. Every day
that passes increases the difficulty
of dealing with the problem.

In behalf OF the American merchant
marine Is obvious. The record OF
the nations shipping proves It and
cuts the ground from beneath those
who oppose It. That the expansion
OF foreign trade is 10 a certain ex-
tent dependent on the development
of shipping is a fact that can not
be disputed. That American shipping
can not expand sufficiently with
out government aid is proved by the
fact that Il has not done so. There
fore It follows that the expansion
OF foreign trade is dependent on the
aid that may be extended shipping
by the government.
That the development of shipping
Is essential TO national defense, as a
means OF providing the country
with a merchant marine converti-
BILE TO military use in event of war,
is also a self-evident fact. That
funds spent in aid of such develop

the rise OF conditions that might call
for enormous expenditure, as was
the case in the late war. warrants
support of government expenditure
in this direction as a wise invest

expend money for such a purpose.
