I picked up tonight the Washington Times. and oil the first page 1 see ttar the British company and various subsidiaries are getting control of many American industries in the United States. litclling the oil industry. and knowing that they lave nearly conmplete control of tile steamship business. I am not ready to give them any more than I can possibly help. I know imr the last two years I have called attention of this fact to the Department of Commerce and the Department of State. that the British lines were securing all the steerage passengers. that they were advertising that people could come to Canada and then it would be easy for them to penetrate into tile United States. Tley have caused a great deal of hardship through misrepresentation and false pretenses. Some of the steamship companies between Great Britain and Canada have brought thousands of people over there who were made to believe that they could enter the United States through Canada. and then they were left stranded in Canada.
