AMERICAN SHIPPING LOSSES

Washington, Dec. 27. The United States in in danger of losing her share of ocean trade routes unless her merchant marine modernised and placed on a compeli- ilve basis with foreign fleets, declared Mr. Daniel C. Roper, Minister of Commerce, in his annual report to the President today.
However, the remainder of his re- port is optimistic, and points out that prosperity is increasing. "The market improvement which has characterised the two preceding fiscal years con- Uinued to gain throughout 1035 and 1936," he said.
Recent shipping legislation, com- oined with the new Maritimo Com- mission, may help to solve the mer. chant marine problems, but it is im- perative that another move be made quickly in order, lo, recoup the dwindling ocean trade.
It is estimated that for the calendar year 1935 the national income of $53,000,000,000 was almost $6,000,- 000,000 ahead of the preceding year and $13,400,000,000 above that of 1932. It is estimated that earnings
