What reading level is The Need of the Hour An American Merchant Marine book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Now if that is all the tonnage we get under these most favorable conditions, when these lines have practically no competition and not a single restriction, what would be the result of a free ship plan, under ordinary conditions when the sea is safe for ships of all nations? I predict now, that within ninety days after the close of [85] " THE NEED OF THE HOUR the war and the resumption of the regular lines of steamers, nearly all of this tonnage that has come under free registry will go back to ...its former flag, and my main reason for making this prediction is, that the shipping trust will bring its gentle influence to bear upon it, and as this influence for many years past has seemed to accomplish whatever it desired of the various shipowners, it is safe to say it will have little difficulty in bringing these lines back to their former close relations with the trust.
So you see that this makeshift legislation, which I am not criticizing and which I think was necessary during the war, will avail us noth- ing toward attaining the desired end, and in all probability soon after the close of the war we will again be face to face with the same problem, but we will at least have accomplished one bene- ficial result, for we will have demonstrated once for all that a merchant marine cannot be built up by a free ship plan.
