Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: 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 a oat, 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Merchant Marine The urgency of selling American goods in overseas markets, and of sending them there in American ships, is even more pressing. Notwithstanding a wide-spread impression, encouraged from quarters that should be better informed, this country has not grown rich while other countries. Were being impoverished during the war. No doubt the artificial abundance of money and credit during the war created an illusion of great wealth; and as long as it remains possible to turn capital over rapidly, this illusion can be maintained. But a very short period of industrial stagnation would bring about an abrupt awakening and a keen realization that the United States has shared - and has shared heavily 111 the economic burden of assisting in winning the World War.

This book was released on 2017-11-12 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Merchant Marines of the United States, England, France, and Japan, 1900-1912 The American traveller from the United States in Europe or in South America today is noted because of his pride in his country and everything American, and it is often a grievous blow to that pride to note, as he gazes on the forest of masts and the many flags that fly over the ships in the ports of these countries, the absence of the stars and stripes. And this is true not only of Europe, but also of the great American ports of New York, Philadelphia or Boston. So strong has grown the feeling on this subject that both houses of Congress have had since 1904 a merchant marine commis sion investigating conditions and advising as to what may be done to rebuild our foreign merchant marine. It has been generally agreed that if this is done at once, government aid must be invoked, and in this connection that ob noxious word subsidy is most often used. In order to make clear the meaning of some of the common terms that will crop up all through a discussion of this kind, it may be well to define a few of them. A subsidy is any form of government aid given to ship building or ship Operating interests. A postal subvention is money paid to a ship company partly for services rendered in carrying the mails, partly for speed or other conditions, and partly as pure subsidy or aid.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Merchant Marine: Its History and Romance From 1620 to 1902 The war navy of the United States has had many, the merchant navy few, historians. Yet the two services are joined by an intimate relationship: they are indispensable the one to the other; they have the same brave, vigorous traditions, and for many years they were cherished with equal pride by the people of the nation whose flag they bore to victory. Now our war fleet, after a period of neg lect and decline, has again grown strong and prosperous, while our merchant fleet on the high seas has shrunk to a mere shadow of its ancient greatness. It is in the firm belief that the renaissance of the merchant navy also will come indeed, is already near at hand that this volume has been written.
