Woild Commerce Visualized. Our merchant marine will offer ' facilities strikinirlv like those fare.il- i iar in railroad transportation, ami in ^ thinking1 of world markets the Am- 1 erican agriculturist can visualize our * railroads connecting with our ships * at tidewater and taking commodities * around the world on our own trade routes. There are four general types of ocean vessel, cotv.paru.bic with American raiboad service. The fast passenger liner, carrying practically n> cargo except baggage and mails, ;s tlu equivalent of the fast limited passenger train?these crack liners can only find profitable traffic between our Atlantic ports i n 1 Kurt pe. The passenger and cargo linei running on regular routes and schedule; to Latin America, the Orient, anil otlv r regions, is lik?? theregular pas-cnger tiain, but carries more freight. The fast cargo liner, running on regular routes and schedules, carrying high-class freight, corresponds to our fast freight ser; ice by which perishable commodities ar shipped. And the tramp steamer carrying freight only, chiefly bulk commodities, like irrain. coal, cotton. and .so on, following no regular routes and adhering to no regular schedule, is ti e common freight car ol the ocean, conspicuous for numbers, ad.aptaoility, and economy. Good Foreign Nor*, ice Assured. We are building ships in all these classes and as rapidly as possible the Lnited States Shipping Hoard will assign them to world trade. As the refrigerator ear has played an important part in finding markets for ccciduous berries, meats, dairy products, and a wide range of farm produce, so the refrigerator ship on the ocean will make possible extensions of markets. To overcome handicaps of distance on our own continent, .American growers have attained high standards in grading and packing their products, illustrated in boxed apples, oranges, pineapples, lemons and grapefruit. Experiments in selling such products to Latin American and Oriental countries have demonstrated that American standard goods are appreciated, and that new trade c.an be built upon litem. Hut heretofore there have been un certain ocean facilities?venturesome exporters could demon? rat' world demand, but wo had no refrig orator ships running on regr.lai schedule: to supply such markets, oi indeed, and si ips at all, and seivic< by foreign ships was too irrey ila and inferior to enible u to buih lasting trade.
