r He HAWAIIAN FLAG ON EOREIGN
BUILT SHIPS,


EDITOR EVENING BULLETIN
Much silly and ridiculous talk
goes round the water front when
an Hawaiian citizen purchases
ship and applies for his right TO
have his property legally recog-
nized; as though he had some
sinister motive in SO doing.
Every vessel flying the Hawaii
an flag is foreign built, and what
applies TO one should apply to all,
Last and present.
The flag is but a symbol of
nationality and ownership, it does
not increase the vessels value as
freighter, one ceut. Shippers will
not pay one cent more freight to
ship flying the American flag than
to one under British or German
colors.
Nine tenths of the carrying
from New York and San Francis.
CO is done by foreign ships. Even
in the much projected Pacific
coasting trade, foreign labor rules,
though all are nominslly Ameri-
cans. As to the shipping carried
on under the American flag being
a mine of wealth to all concerned
It seems strange that so many U.
S. ships are for sale, and so many
bona fide American captains
are in command of British and
Hawaiian ships; well for them that
foreigners allowed them to com
mand and have free trade in ships,
which they would have denied to
the foreigner had they found their
ri Dorado at home.
The repeal of the navigation
laws of Great Britain gave the
first great impetus TO British ship.
ping. Scandinavia aud the DIFF
ferent German counties were not
slow in entering among the COM
petilors for shares Of the worlds
carrying trade.
The decline of the U. S foreign
going shipping was due to one
fact, one word: iron. The finest
wooden ships Of the world though |
ably banded, dwindled away be
fore it. The flag did not save
them; it was simply a question Of
dollars aud cent? with shippers
aud underwriters; patriotism is
not business.
Au Englishman, German or
Scandinavian purchases a ship to
suit him, no matter whore built,
and then has his corntry's flag
legally put on her. (The u. s.
owner is handicapped in 80 doing.
The laws of Hawaii are, at pre-
sent, at variance with the u. S.
Federal laws in many ways; for
Example: Asiatie immigration;
for foreign labor, and
he shipping laws.
When the Star of the Pa
,ific becomes one of the
group in the federal banner
he repeal of such laws will be-
insisted on; though, judging by
he present condition of immigra-
ion, the day is yet distant.
The laws of the federal power,
mike those of the Modes and
Persians, are subject to change.
n the Atlantic, tie British built
-nman steamers now fly the Stars
md Stripes; even the English
ramp, known "a the Merrimac,
lew it when Hobson sank her in {
santiago de Cuba. We see for
IGN steamers weekly passing
rom American ports to the Fede-
al port of Manila.
Eastern statesmen have been
or years pounding against the U,
J shipping laws. The last modi.
ication made was the require
nent that captains and mates pass
n examination and 80 be held
