What real benefit. therefore. would it be to the American people. and to the United States as a nation. to have our ships built abroad. officered and manned by aliens? The capitalist only would be benefited by this Democratic freeship policy. American labor would be benefited nothing whatsoever. Today nearly 2.000.000 tons of ships built in alien shipyards by alien labor. employing alien officers and alien crews. and fed according to alien methods are owned by American capital and employed in carrying American exports and imports. Fully onethird the foreign shipping now engaged in doing our foreign carrying is owned by American capital. Has that solved the shipping problem?
