...fall or at least change so utterly that we will not be able to recognize it, and it will fall not because its institutions are unworthy to survive, but because it could not call on the continuous unrecorded services of its citizens. After all, if men of education who owe much to their country are unwilling to take a serious interest in its affairs, can we honestly blame men who are not familiar with these institutions and who owe very little to them for not taking an interest in them and making sacrifices for them...

And every dollar that we pay Americans for carrying our goods is that much lost purchasing power for our foreign customers. Were shipping as efficient (profitable) a way of investing capital as manufacturing, this would involve no loss to the country. But the hard struggle to meet foreign competition which our ship owners have had for half a century shows that shipping is no longer an industry in which we have a "comparative advantage". Why, then, invest our money...
