Solution of the United States shipping problem will be attained only when the people interested in shipping exert themselves to seo that the men who are seeking election to Congress give definite pledges to aid in the development of a U.S. merchant marine, Mr. A. F. Mack, president of the Cosmopolitan Shipping Company, said in an address before. the members of the Jersey Marine Club, state New York advices.
The fundamental problem in shipping at present, Mr. Mack said, is to find sufficient business for their existing fleets. Lenving American tonnage out of the com- putation, he said, there are as many or more. ships in commis- aion as before the war, while the amount of business shows only à slight increase. Consequently, there are too many ships for the amount of cargo available.
Referring to the suggestion of! enthusiastic advocates of the U.S. merchant marine, that they should carry all of their foreign commerce in American bottoms, Mr. Mack said this is too much to expect. Foreign flag ships, he' end, deserve considerable credit
