Excerpt from Proposal for an International Conference on the Regulation and Control of Ocean Carriage by Means of an International Commerce Commission for the Purpose of Steadying the World's Price of the Staples An impartial review of the subject must lead the statesman to the conclusion that this question cannot be solved by action on empyrical lines. The problems of ocean carriage as they affect any one port, or all the ports of any one country, are, after all, but phases and fractions, por tions of the question when it is considered as a whole. Viewed as a whole the problems transcend the limits of any one country they are inter-related and concern all the countries of the world. The time has passed when the statesman could dismiss this question with a waive of the hand. Population everywhere is increasing by leaps and bounds, and so is popular education. All this is equivalent to saying that wants are increasing. And it is clear that the highest aim of good states manship is to see that the demands arising out of these increased wants are not stupidly and unjustly frustrated by causes which have their root in inequities in the formation of the world's price of the staples.
