MERCHANT MARINE.
AMERICAN ASPIRATIONS. (A. & N.Z.) WASHINGTON, Doc. 9. At Baltimore, Mr Champ Clarke, Speaker of Congress, said that the United States at the end of the war would have a huge mercantile marine. What was she going to do with it? Before the war Germany was the customer to the United States next best to Britain. If Germany was shut out of raw materials, the United States trade would suffer. However, they hoped to find new fields in South and Central America. Mr Clarke emphatically declared that President Wilson should insist on the freedom of the seas at the Paris Conference.
