agriculture always preeedes industry
in the building of any new country.
There is no doubt that new fields
of competition for the American far
mer are developing.
These settlements mean the es-
tablshment of industrial trade routes
and these routes. unless the ships
are under our flag, cannot be ex-
pected to be other than favorable
to the new settlements and will have
most vital influence upon the
American agriculture of the next de-
cade.
"If America is to stay in the world
market and produce a surplus of
agricultural products, ships are as
much a part of the farm equipment
as plows or wagons. Too few far
mers realize this. The government
still owns something like a thousand
good steel ships. operated at a heavy
deficit of which the farmers are
paying their share. We cannot af-
ford to allow these ships to go out
from under our flag while we are
facing a fight to keep both trade
routes and markets.
