Editor Advertiser: The United States
merchant marine consists of American
vessels carrying the imports and ex-
ports between our country and foreign
ports.
Congress passed the coastwise ship
ping law on March /, 1917, ninety two
years ago. This law restricted foreign
vessels from carrying freight between
American ports, certain exceptions be-
ing made at that time in favor of Brit
ish ships.
Forty-two years after this act was
passed, in 1859, the American merchant
marine reached the height of its sue
cess and carried Sc $40 per cent. of
the foreign commerce of the United
States in imports and exports.
Six years later (forty-seven years
after the passage of the coastwise law
this percentage of carrying trade by
American vessels was reduced to 27 IL
per cent.
On June 10, 1866, Congress amended
the coastwise law, by adding the pas.
senger restriction, the penalty for VIC

each passenger.
On February IT. 1898, Congress fur
Their amended the coastwise law by in
creasing the penalty for violation OF
the law, for carrying passengers, tc
$500 per passenger.
In 1901, eighty-four years after the
passage of the original coastwise Law
and thirty-five years after the passen
ger restriction, the American merchant
marine carried 1-5 per cent. of the
foreign commerce of the United State:
in imports and exports.
The general hue and cry today Il
that the American merchant marine Il
not only being, but actually is almos
entirely eradicated from the seas.
How, in the face of these facts, cal
it be maintained that the repeal of tn
coastwise law for Hawaii, as regard
passengers only, is going to effect tn
American merchant marine?
It is a fact that the President OF tn
United States has recommended AM
urged Congress to give this relief t.
Hawaii as matter of fairness ant
justice.

all. She has educational needs. She needs
better supervision of the country schools:
