If I had my way. I would have inserted in this bill that the seamen on these ships should be American citizens and that the ships should be sailed by American seamen. and if it was necessary to subsidize them to a greater extent I would vote to do it rather than have them manned by the races of the Orient. I am not in favor of subsidizing ships. if I had my way. to be manned by Asiatic labor. I want to see everything in this country that is subsidized manned by American labor. I am very sorry indeed that the gentleman from Michigan takes the position that he does on this bill.
