The choice products of thé®world came to our doors and most of them came on American ships, while today we get the ma-| jor portions of these same products in foreign bottoms. Our shipping was large and pro-| |gressive in those days because the| bulk of our population lived along the seaboard and a large proportion were seagoing people or of seagoing We built better ships and| sailed them as expertly as our com- petitors. Our ships today are man- ned by capable and efficient crews iand no better illustration can be {given than the expert seamanship !manifested by American crews in the rescue of foreign crews and pas- sengers from foundering ships.

The United States Shipping Board salvaged some of the best vessels in the transport service, reconditioned them for passenger service and turned them into some of the finest vessels being operated today on the North Atlantic.
