Excerpt from Selected Articles on the American Merchant Marine Ever since President Wilson's message to Congress of December 7, 1914, asking for legislation for the encouragement of American shipping, a bill has been before Congress, in some form or other, providing for government participation, in some measure, in the ownership and control of an American merchant marine. While no bill has been passed to this date, the debates have been the means of arousing the public to the present condition of American shipping, and of reviving discussion of this subject to a considerable degree. In response to the resulting demand for material on this question, this volume has been compiled for the use of students, debaters and others wishing to make a study of the question. It attempts to set forth the facts in regard to the history of our merchant marine and its present status with regard to the shipping of other nations. The arguments for and against government ownership and control are also presented. In keeping with the general plan of the series, this volume contains affirmative and negative briefs, a selected bibliography, and reprints of much valuable material on the question.

Excerpt from The New Merchant Marine In his admirable volume on the Dardanelles campaign, Major-General Sir C. E. Callwell, K. C. B., tells of the many urgent appeals that were made in May and June, 1915, to the War Office in London for reinforcements. In response, the Commander of the Expeditionary Force, Sir Ian Hamilton, was informed that his army was to be "augmented by three complete divisions and by infantry of two more Territorial divisions, all of them coming from the United Kingdom." "They were timed to arrive," says the author, "between the 10th of July and the 10th of August - a striking illustration of the number of days needed to embark and to move a force of all arms, mustering considerably less than 100,000 men, oversea on a fortnight's voyage." When it is realized that the British, with all of their ships and facilities for the movement of troops and supplies at sea, found it necessary to take a full month to transport "considerably less than 100,000 men," together with their equipment, at a time when the German submarine campaign had scarcely begun and England had lost but a small amount of her tonnage, it is not difficult to understand the skepticism with which Germany viewed the ability of the United States, with practically no overseas tonnage available, to transport a sufficient army, food, and munitions to the battlefields of France and Flanders in time to be a serious menace to her military operations and ambitions.

Excerpt from Oh, Susanna: A Romance of the Old American Merchant Marine It is just a page torn from a ship's log book, very creased and yellow. The writing it bears is fine and well formed, the writing of a more leisurely age. The matters it discusses are very strange. ." . . his insane desire to secure the blue china elephant. Of the black lacquer box I always had my suspicions. . ." ." . . on that night when my father returned from aboard the stranded junk. . . it must be that Ah Fung, the Chinese merchant, unwittingly aroused. . ." The words were written by Matthew Parsons, the great Handsome Mat, in San Francisco, many years ago, and the page which holds them is a cherished relic in the Parsons family today. It hangs in its ebony frame in the office of Matthew Parsons Second, the President of the Hermes Steamship Line of New York.

Excerpt from Plan for the Operation of the New American Merchant Marine This message was conveyed to General Pershing, and there is no question but that it heartened him and every soldier and imbued them with the knowledge that the American people Were back of the ship building program, and that the ships would be furnished to help them carry on the work of aiding to win the war. I am sure that it also heartened all the Allies. The men deserving of the credit for this great success are the workers in the shipyards, and the enthusiastic people back of them. Every newspaper, every magazine, every moving - picture thea 'tre, and the 4-minute men organization, consisting of speakers, were used to impress upon the people the need for the construction of ships with the greatest possible speed.

Excerpt from The Old Merchant Marine: A Chronicle of American Ships and Sailors A vessel was a community venture, and the custom still survives in the ancient ports of the Maine coast where the shapely wooden schooners are fashioned. The blacksmith, the rigger, the calker, took their pay in shares. They became part owners, as did likewise the merchant who supplied stores and material; and when the ship was afloat, the master, the mates, and even the seamen, were allowed cargo space for commodities which they might buy and sell to their own ad vantage. Thus early they learned to trade as shrewdly as they navigated, and every voyage directly concerned a whole neighborhood.
