Mr. Dearborn is quite candid about the limitations of American steam shipping. Foreigners, he says, can build their ships for half what it cost Americans, and can
them operato
more cheaply "Without the constwise naviga. tion laws we should be helpless." For that rosson Mr. Dearborn takes leave to doubt if a subsidy. ean legally be given to ships. already receiving Government protection under the constwise laws. It is a point worth look- ing into. Meantime, the load of. the American-Hawaiian Company is dead against subsidy waste. "You have," he says, "to take. ihto consideration the foot that there will be plenty of foreigä fines running down to the Isthmus and that if the Go vernment wants to it can let them carry its mails at a great deal oheaper rate than that imposed by the expensive subsidy.Why not ?.
