The articles as a rule make highly desirable cargo for ships and give our maritime competitors an important advantage. The value of these selected imports from only four countries is about three times the total reexports from the United States to all countries. The absence of similar business in this country is one of the most serious obstacles in the way of the development of our merchant marine. It is true that the ports of Europe secured virtual monopoly of many of the raw products of the world prior to the construction of the Panama Canal when the United States was geographically at a disadvantage in the struggle for the control of the rich markets of South America and the Orient. The construction of the Panama Canal, however, has brought the short line route from a number of these important raw markets to Europe directly past our shores and we are now in a favorable position to gain a fair share of this trade.
