for merchant vessels most cor
Itinue for many years, to fill up th
TOcniim created bv war and to tak
care of the vast expension of tfa
world's commercial activities.
The South, except the Chesapeaki
Bay shipyards, which have been bos;
to the limit of their capacity for i
year or more, was the kT|qt section o:
the country to fed the effect of thi
shipbuilding activity. Now new yard
are being established at nearly ev
ery port in the South. Some of thea<
yaxds are for the purpose of build
mg wooden ships only, but one bj
One they are turning to the buildinj

that steel ship material, even if thi
section had to depend upon Pittsburg:
could be laid down at Southern ship
yards at a lower cost than to th<
yards of the Pacific Coast, and or
the Pacific Coast shipbuilding is having
a wonderful boom. Already c
number of Southern yards nave
taken contracts for big steel steamers,
some of them for Eastern buyert
and some for foreign shipowners.
1UC UVUMif VUV4VAVAV)
war or peace prevails, has started
out for a great shipbuilding activity.
This expansion of shipping in this
Country and abroad will, to a very
considerable extent, take up the
Slack which will be created when the
armies of Europe cease to pour their
flood of metal into the trenches of
that war-ridden continent.
Railroad building has been at a
standstill for some years. We built
last year only a little over 500 miles
or less than had been built in any
year since 1862. The expansion of
population and of trade in this country
will literary compel a great railroad
building period. Economic
toees greater than man-made laws,
will biiog about these conditions.
And these very economic forces,
working but like the mills of the gods
in grinding slowly but grinding exceeding
fine, wiH compel the wiping
off from statute books any law*
which hamper railroad construction.
Under ordinary growth of business
interests, as measured by the prograts
of half a century up to the
panic of .1907, this country should
now be consuming'fully as much iron
and steel as it is producing had there
been no European war to bring
about the tremendous demand from
L. . Europe. f
There are few better posted authorities
on iron in the United States

of Matthew Addy & Company, a firm
which for about half a century has
been a leading factor in the hnadiine
of iron. Discussing the outlook
for this industry after the war,
Mr. Green in a letter issued to his
customers two weeks ago said:
, "Of course this week there has
been a great deal of serious thought
af to what is going to happen when
the wr is over. A study of economic
history shows that invariably since
the Napoleonic era, that is since the
present modern industrial conditions

7 The Manufacturers Record is
\ clined to agree with Mr. Green's v
1 of the situation as to iron. We 1

fl in the iron and steel trade, e

r itself to the new situation bef
[ starting on its great rebuilding ci
1 paign.
3 Thus cotton and iron and coal i
' coke, four of the great industa
" of the South, are likely to be equs
[ as prosperous and possibly evenrn
prosperous under peace conditi(
L than in tis period of awr-created
, tivity. And when we turn from th
? interests to others which have b<
5" stagnant, we shall find that pei
will bring abounding prosperity
many industries which have b<
' stagnant under war.
T^he lumber industry, which 1
i seriously suffered, will jump into
' mostimediate activity after a pei
i treaty is signed. The phosphate <
i port business, which has been d?
' for more than two years, will le
forward when Europe can oi
again enrich its soil with the ph
phate rock of the South. The nav
| store* industry, great in its wi
ramifications and its influence business
throughout a large part
the South, which, like phosphate a
lumber, has. been depressed by W
would soon meet abounding prosp
ity under peace. Other interests fo
stagnant by the degression in lu
ber and naval stores and phosphi
will face the revivifying influence
their activity and will keep step
the march to a new and broader pn
perity than these interests ever <
joyed In the past
Thus We shall have, so far as 1
can bee, a continuation of the pr<
ent prosperity created by war a
the prosperity in other industr!
which would be created by peat
combined into a great well-round
development broader in its sco]
wider in its reach and more gene]
in its effect on the South and
the nation than any prosper:
known to this Section in tHe past.
Moreover, we shall have the bei
