SAYS TRADE FLEET
IS UP TO SHIPPERS
Head of Shipping Board Sees
Outlook as Brightest
in Eany Years.
By the Associated Press,

Bv the Associated Press,
NEW YORK. November 22<--
Chairman T. v. O'Connor of the SKIP
ping Board declared here last night
that though the present outlook for
a merchant marine is more encourag-
ing than it has been for many years,
it is nov the turn Of the American
shippers TO demonstrate whether or
not they really want an American
merchant marine"
Speaking before the Foreign Com
merce Club Chairman O'Connor said
that IL is within the power of the
American shippers either to make or
ruin" the whole project of a large
American merchant marine. He was
confident, he added, that the decision.
will, of course. be expressed in terms
of cargo placed in the holds of Ameri-
can ships"
The Jones White act increasing the
ship construction loan fund and oceap
mail contracts was described by ths
chairman as marking "a turning point
in American maritime history"
Under the new order of things. :"
he added. with the Government pro-
viding generous construction loans and
generous pay for the carriage of United
States mails, and with the increasing
patronage that will doubtless be ex-
tended to modern American vessels by
American exporters and importers. the
new ships will be able to compete on
something like equal terms with the
fast ships Of other maritime nations"

one small hotel.

to careful provisos dislikes advance
manifestos relative to his purpose. He
prefers that these purposes shall become
apparent effectively as he goes along.
One assumption seems to stand out
defihitel in most of the talk one hears,
namely, that the South American sus-
capabilities must receive from North
Americans more consideration than has
been accorded them hitherto. If the two
continents are to reach basis of gen.
uine amity.
Certain North Americans of distinc-

seriously and intelligently to win the
confidence and friendship OF the South
Americans. Ambassador Dwight W..
Morrow has done the same, and evil,

North Americans usually, so far as they
have come in contact with their Sollth-

peoples favorably. Rightly or wrongly
the Southerners have judged us to be
conceited, arrogant, materialistic, i'm
perialistic.
The late. Lord Bryce. during his South
American travels. noted this fact and
recorded it. and Lord Bryce was an OBJ
server equally acute and impartial.
That was l6 or Ia years ago and the
situation is changed little, If changed
fundamentally at all. We still tend to
repel the Latins and make them more
or less resentful and thus retard the
American continental rapprochement.
About 25 years ago Joseph Chamber
lain bade Englishmen to think i'm
perially. One hundred years earlier
Alexander Hamilton bade Americans to
think continentally. When they do
think, mutual suspicion. fear or dislike
will go by the board, and it is hoped
that this goodwill mission may at least
do something to initiate continental
American thinking.
