At Rio he talked it over -with Brazilians who were worried about moving their coffee crop. He -was sure he had the answer to the submarine campaign ships requiring no critical materials, ships that would coast along in shallow waters and keep alive the trade among the Americas. But he struck a snag in Washington. The Maritime commission was not interested. Skeptics said it was a reversion to the "horse-and-buggy days" of the sea.

Three times Taylor worked up his project in revised forms, but each time it failed to click. Then he tried another tack. He published an account of the project in a trade weekly of the department of commerce. Immediately it struck fire. Boat builders all over the country wanted to take part in the enterprise.

Official interest was kindled. Result was that RFC allocated $10,000,000, with which the Rockefeller Office is setting up a corporation to build and acquire wooden sailing vessels for inter-American trade. Two designs have been completed, one for a shallow draft vessel and one for a heavy sea vessel. Yards have been selected in Latin America, and contracts are being let. There will be an endless belt of 300-ton sailing ships, making long and short voyages, using auxiliary engines when necessary, but saving fuel by using, most of the time, the trade winds that made the Caribbean famous in the days of Clipper 'ships.

Once when Wallace was at the net, he made five returns in succession, finally won the point. At 9:05 the set ended. Wallace retreated to the corner of the court, pulled on his slacks, headed back to his apartment for a shower.
