I am not ready to say at this time whether the two projects; that is, shipping remuneration and lakes to ocean water-way, can be tied together in a suitable recommendation to Congress. ... I recognize the departure which the Tribune will be called upono to make in supporting any so-called ship subsidy plan. ... At any rate, we are face to face with a proposition, whether we shall build a really great American Merchant Marine.
