Britain, France, Germany and Italy, so long as the marine architect improves his technique, can compete indefinitely for blue ribbons, and answer monster ship with monster ship;.but it can only be done if the industry has the help and support of the national governments. Shipping, like other (private enterprises, is apt to be weakened,} not strengteneti, by public assistance."
