GEORGE FRIED. The purchase of the United States Lines and the American Merchant Line | by Paul W. Chapman and Joseph E.| Sheedy, prominent shipping man, indi- cates the revival of American enter- prise in the American Merchant Marine. Having served all my life on vessels fly- ing the American flag, it is particularly gratifying for me to see this new devel- opment. I no reason why the United States should not have one of the largest Mer- chant feets of the world. Shipping has been more or less neglected in this coun- try during recent years, while various other industries have been expanding in leaps and bounds. When private cap- ital, ingenuity and enterprise are de- voted to the Merchant Marine, there is no reason why it should not be ex- panded and developed to be commen- surate with the general growth and prosperity of the country and its in- dustries. Clipper’s Speed Startled World. Everyone who has read our history will recall how in the early days of our existence as a nation. we had under the American flag the fastest and most suc- cessful of ships, the American clipper. Our sea-borne commerce in those days carried our ships to the far corners of the earth. The choice products of the world came to our dcors and most of them came on American ships, while today we get the major portions of these same products in foreign bottoms. Our shipping was large and progres- sive in those days because the bulk of our population lived along the seaboard and a large proportion were seagoing people or of seagoing stock. We built ‘better ships and sailed them as expertly as our competitors. Our ships today are manned by capable and efficient crews, and no better illustration can be given than the expert seamanship mani- of foreign crews and passengers from foundering ships. We have a small American merchant marine, but it is nevertheless a strange fact that in nine out of ten cases on the North Atlantic when an 8 O S call is sent out an American ship is among those to respond. As the interior of our country was developed, our attention was diverted from the sea to the pursuit of agricul- ture, and later to industrial develop- ment. Then we lost the commanding position on the sea which we had cre- ated for ourselves. Lean years followed for the merchant marine because the country, expanding rapidly, due to large numbers of immigrants, found no diffi- culty in absorbing all the products that could be produced. Shipbuilding has languished since the World War. The cry of the and more ships. ried on during the war. hour then was ship: | When the war came, we found ourselves | sadly lacking in_ships to transport our troops and supplies to the battle fronts of France. We had to rely on foreign ships, Submarine warfare depleted the allied marine fleets, and soon ship- yards sprang up in all sections of the country having access to the sea. We know how these ships assisted very materially in turning the tidé of war in our favor, Salvage Some of Best Vessels. ‘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. Rapidly our export trade is being de- veloped and the business man knows what it means to have his goods ship- ped in the American way and in Ameri- can bottoms. Approximately 80 per cent of tourists going to and from Europe today are Americans. They will travel on any ship, irrespective of the flag the vessel flies, but when they are fully acquainted with the type of vessels now being operated under the American flag, the cuisine and service, they will prefer to use their own ships. Our ships during the major part of the year are now crossing the Atlantic with capacity pas- senger lists. Each of cur competitors is planning to construct new ships, and Messrs. Chapman and Sheedy propose to build, over a period of 10 years, five of the finest vessels, Thus the American fleet will not only be well balanced, but will be on a par with any. A country without a merchant ma- rine is much like a department store without a delivery system. The busi- ness will go to the more progressive competitors, who will deliver the goods with the minimum delay and maximum satisfaction to the seller and the pur- chaser. It is true that our goods can be carried in foreign bottoms, but we must remember that the countries to fested by American crews in the rescue which these foreign vessels belong are ANOTHER CHAPTER IN FINE CAR It is a natural result of | the tremendous building_program car- | THE.

With Pierce-Arrow’s recent ex- pansion, its engineers and were set the task of creating a car which would have power and size and beauty without bulk. It was to meet a long-waiting demand.
