ranking Democratic member OF the House
merchant marine committee, made a state
ment to-day regarding the position OF the
Democratic minority on the shipping sub
sidy bill. He said in part: The present
bill formed by the Republican majority,
while IL is vastly superior 10 the original
measure presented I'm the House n Sen
ate. Is yet far from satisfactory. Two
practical amendments which have been
asked for by the Democratic members, and
to the support Of what at least three or
the Republican members volunteered
enough to make a majority in the whole
committeeman defeated through the IN
sistence of the ship owners trust and the
dictation of Senator Hanna, who told the
Republican members that under no con-
sideration could either OF the amendments
be Attached TO the bill. The first was a
provision TO extend the time during wnicn
Americans could purchase foreign vessels
for another year. This policy Is outlined
and favored in the report Of Secretary
Gage. In advocating this amendment be-
fore the committee / stated that / saw no
reason why the privilege OF buying foreign
ships. which involved at the same time the
building of an equal amount OF tonnage
In American shipyards. should be restricted
to the few persons and corporations who,
being on the inside and knowing thai this
bill probably would become a law, have
purchased foreign vessels and thereby Sc
cured a monopoly of this right. II Ii is a
wise provision TO allow the purchase OF
foreign vessels because of the added work
that would accrue to American ~shipyards.
IL seems to me that IL would prove still
more advantageous to allow more foreign
vessels to be purchased for a year at least
on account of the tremendous increase that
it would call for in building American
ships In American shipyards.
THE second provision. allowing Anneri-
cans to purchase foreign ships wherever
they pleased, to place them under the
American flag and operate them without
any subsidy. was likewise defeated 1t is
q ~ell-know fact that a vast amount Of
British and Norwegian capital Is invested
every year in the purchase of all kinds of
vessels which operate between the different
ports in the world. picking up cargoes
side that this method of doing business
furnishes vast opportunities OF profit maxi
Ing TO the parties interested. The British
shipping to-day, the increase OF which has
been so favorably commented on by the
promoters of this bill. is largely between
foreign ports. and why Americans, when
IL does not interfere with the payment of
subsidies, as would be the case If this
amendment was added to the bill. should
be deprived of the opportunity of invest
ing capital in these ships as well as in
creasing the opportunities of flying the
American flag. employ seamen and build
up the American merchant marine Is more
than / can understand. There are various
other features In the bill that are OBJ
ncxious which will be pointed out when
the Democratic minority members make
their report"
