The next business is the report of the committee appointed yesterday to discuss the

 is as follows : — 



"It is beyond dispute that the development of the foreign commerce of a nation such as 

 ours is seriously hampered so long as the carriage of that commerce depends upon the con- 

 venience and ability of foreign carriers, nor can it be denied that our nation has been paying 

 tribute to foreign nations to perpetuate such foreign supremacy, to the detriment of in- 

 dividual opportunity and of our established system of wages and conditions of living.
