Overview

Excerpt from American Navigation: With Some Account of the Causes of Its Recent Decay, and of the Means by Which Its Prosperity May Be Restored The whole subject of the state of our shipping interest is dis cussed here in the light of foreign policy. No correct explanation of our former prosperity or recent decay can be given except by so doing. No intelligent action can be taken for the future benefit of our navigation except by understanding what other nations have done and are willing to do in competition with us. There has been too much indifference for the last thirty years in regard to foreign policy. We have suffered from it, but paid no attention to it. The time has come for a change. We need now to study foreign pol icy attentively, and must do so before even undertaking to decide what policy we shall adopt for ourselves.
