Plummer argues shipping policy at New York dinner
At the National Manufacturers association dinner in the Waldorf Astoria, Hon Edward C. Plummer of the U S Shipping Board urged protection for American shipping. He contrasted England’s long held advantages with U S progress and warned rivals could not match English tonnage under its flag.
