Americans want, when . gheg.. travel,. and I know that if they can have. faster ships than any now afloat more comfortable, and more magnfiâ€" cent, they will ride on those ships. But a merchant marine is not only for passengers. The backbone of the nation is the man who tills the soil. The ocean greyhound thrills us, and divides honors with the freighter. We need them both, and the one will follow the other." Every real American who has stuâ€" died the question will agree with Captain Hartley. says the National Republic. We need a merchant marâ€" ine for economic reasons in time of peace and for safety in time of war. Great American ocean ships are of real benefit to every Amer ic a n whether he be a shipper or a conâ€" sumer. An American merchant marâ€" ine will prevent our being gouged by a foreign shipping trust. Everyone remembers what the fersign riblc~ trust tried to do to us. The oniy lasting remedy for that, we were told, was to grow our own rubber. It is true that the holdâ€"up was deâ€" feated by the curtailment in the purâ€" chasing of rubber by American busiâ€" ness men, but the same trouble may vecur again. With the shipping business it is a little different.
