At the same time we must devise a ship that may he so built' hn he fixed charges, depre- dlcatlon nnd so foith may be so dial get! down as to Inake It a successful com mercial venture. "Bin the Ingenuity of the world can not devise ship that can be economi cally operated unless vvn have this gieat (Iovernment of ours make such provi sions and laws as will enable us to economically operate them when vvc have them! "That, however, is not my duty nor Is It my part In life. That Is the part of you gentlemen That is the part nf the Chamber of Commerce of the I'nlted States, that Is the pail of the men whose voices ate heard throughout the land, the part of the men who have been the controllers or these great factories. They should make their voices heard so loudly und distinctly that the people of this country will think upon that phase of shipping with the same energy, with the same thoughtful care that Is now being centered on the construction of the fleet thai must bring us so liiilch credit nnd coinmeice In the yenis to come. "Now gentlemen I thing to yon about Kleet Corpnration. I want to say sopie. this Emergency want to have you realize that ,vou men of tlm I'nlted Stales are the owners of the stock of this corporation. When the I'nlted States (Iovernment ciinie to a great understand ing like the building of this fleet, they realized that a corporation was neces sary for Us successful accomplishment, and you, the people, are. the owners of the stock of that corporation, and there fore you are entitled to know anything that there Is to know- about It, and these ate the days when we can talk of these things moic freely than we talked.
