Our competitors are going to keep us off the seas if they can do it. They are going to use every possible means to accomplish that end. and I think we will be derelict in our duty toward the national welfare if we neglect any opportunity which presents itself to us of which we could take advantage to help build up and maintain an American merchant marine. If we required every immigrant who comes to this country to come in an American ship. we would go a long way toward establishing upon a permanent basis some shipping lines. especially passengercarrying lines. across the Atlantic.
