Citing figures to show
proportion of foreign trade of the Unit- ed States carried by U.S. vessels, Mr. H. G. Smith, president of the National Council of American Shipbuilders, in an address deliver- ed at a meeting of the New York Board of Trade, laid special stress or the importance of U.S. ships as a factor in the expansion of the coun- try's foreign trade. He also ex- plained why it costs more to bulld ships in the United States than on this side of the Atlantic, and why | Government afd is needed to over- come this adverse cost differential.
"To the extent that our raw ma- terials and foodstuffs are needed by foreign countries, either in time of
peace or of war," said Mr. Smith, "they will make a decided effort to secure the carriage of such goods. If the products, however, for which we are seeking foreign markets are in competition with the products of
