Senator BRISTOW. Could you furnish us a statement of the number of ships of 1,000 tons, that tonnage engaged in the ocean-to-ocean trade of the United States, England, France, Germany, Holland, Norway and Sweden, Spain and Italy? Could you prepare that data for the use of the committee?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN. It is physically possible. I have not the clerks to do it within some time. It is a physical possibility. It is just a matter of extracting out of books that have a list of thirty thousand and odd ships those complying with your description.

The CHAIRMAN. You will be able to get that for the committee? Mr. CHAMBERLAIN. I do not want to promise that with the clerks I have got. I do not want to make a bargain, but if you will send two or three men the books are there and the information can be extracted.
