It is paid for the purpose of giving a merchant marine to the whole country so that the trade of the whole country will be benefitted thereby, and the men running the ships will of course make a reasonable profit....

—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)

—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
“He does smile his face into more lines than is in the new map with the augmentation of the Indies.”
