REVIEW Every effort will be made to make each issue self-contained and _ self-ex- planatory. The Marine REVIEW real- izes, however, that the written word is never as clear as the spoken word and that men who never can be per- suaded to write for information on a doubtful point will readily ask ques- tions orally if given the opportunity. It is for this reason that the MARINE REviEw has selected Capt. Wharry to Cart. JOHN WHARRY Marine. Review Agent at the Sault. Lake Navigation.

Sufficient im- pressions will also be made of each succeeding -issue so that the MARINE REVIEW will at all times be fully pre- pared to supply all late comers with a copy. supplement the course by stationing him at the Sault, where he will meet all boats.

R: Leaken, of Savannah, Ga. has been nominated as expert on mari- time affairs for the Mutual Steamship association. Mr. Leaken is a Republi- can but has been a consistent advocate of the policy of protection to Ameri- can shipping in the foreign trade. Mr. Leaken recently had an interview in the Savannah Press on the subject. He says that from statistics compiled by the Marine Review that if the~ ship- ping bill had passed it would have re- sulted in the constuction of thirty-two steamers in American ship yards and to stimulate industry throughout the country. He is also of opinion that the entire sub- sidy to shipping would readily be paid from the receipts of sea postage.
