Measure the Purpose of
Which Is to Build Up the
American Merchant Marine.

Especial to The Herald Republican,
Washington, D. c.. Feb. g.-Senator
SmOOt is drafting bill which he Will in
tlOduce in the near future. the purpose Of
which is to build up the American mer-
chant marine. 1t provides that for one
year any body of citizens either cOrpO-
rate or private, shall have the right to

tai tonnage of such vessels purchased not

ton, that such a bill as this, if enacted
into law, would greatly stimulate the

permit the admission TO American register
of fOreign-built ships for the period of one
year, and would thus give individuals or
corporations who wish 70 engage in ship
ping the opportunity to buy in foreign
shipyards at present

Ct ased. 1t provides for the payment to
