the vessels without further loss to the
government.
Sr.pTjc.-e Americans should attempt to
build two similar vessels to run in com
petition between New York ar.d Queers
town: It would co.,t u: to build one of the.-e
s'fiips $5,12.",C-jO. We would pay 5 per
cj:.t for our money. 106,230. The
Englishman would get his boat at G,
SOOiOO. at 23-4 per cent interest, or
$7,850. It would cost us $218,075, 31-2
per cent, for repairs; the Lusitania
costs 21 -2 per cent for repairs, or?lC2,
300. It wi uld cost U3 5 per cent for
wages. The Englishman wculd pay 3
per cent for v.agc3. We would pay
$100,250; tho Englishman would pay
J195,QOJ. We would pay 4 per cent for
food; the Englishman would pay 31-2
per cent for food. We would pay $323,
OOOjthe Englishman would pay $211,230.
We would pay for insurance 6 percent;
the Englishman would pay the same.
For depreciation we would have 3 per
tent, the same as the Englishman pays.
But ue are paying this on $,123,000 so i
that o;;r in.-urance bill is ?4S7,500,
agat.-.-t the Englishman's of Rrw.000.
arid our depreciation is fl0i.230 as j
against the Englishman's $.323,000, or :

To pay a 5 per cent dividend tho
American would have to earn $403,250;
i Th Engii.-hmar. would have to earn
j $'23,000, or an annual increase of earn
i ings in the part of the American
amounting to $S1,230, uhicn, in 20
year.1, would amount to $l,r.25,CO0; or
in other words in order to be on an
even keel with the English boat the
American boat in 2 ) years would have
to earn $21.5-12, 50) more than the
Englishman. In the meantime the
Lusitania gets ;i subsidy of $,3 0o,000,
plus the interest at 2 3-4 per cent.
This is thi kind of competition which
we are obliged to meet; it i3 bitter ut:d
it is destructive, for, of two ships of
equal capacity, officered and named
with equal ir.telligpr.ee, managed by a
crew of equal ability, directed by a
company of equal sagacity, that "one
ship will get the business which can
carry the trade the cheapest, and that
ship can carry the cheapest which cost
the least to build, maintain ar.d operate.
