WATERFRONT NOTES

BECAUSE the Osaka Shosen Kali
sha cut the through rate on silk
from So to IS per 100 pounds. the
other transpaciHc lines which are
members OF the Transpacinc Tramc
Bureau have followed suit. This
rate applies from Japanese ports to
New York. and of the through rate
the steamship lines get only their
proportionate rate share. The rate
OF SO has been in effect for several
years, but during freight wars In
the past the rate has been as low as
SO. The action OF the Osaka Sho-
sen Kaisha came as a surprise to
the members OF the bureau and ley
lost little time in meeting the cut:
The Osaka Shosen Kaisha does not
belong to the bureau for east-bound
freight and was therefore at liberty
to cut rates. The new japanese
line Joined the west bound trafiic
bureau last year, and on cargo nov
Ing to the Orient Its schedules are
the same as those of other lines.
The cast-bound trafic bureaus, OF
which there are two, with head
quarters at Hongkong and Yoko-
hama, respectively. establish rates
on through freight from the Orient
to interior points In the United
States. In the opinion of shipping

Seamanship; but what Is that to the once continuous vic
tories of our merchantmen throughout the world, to the
pride OF American ships that could outsail all rivals,
lead in all sea trade and, when turned into means of
war, make the American flag a terror in all waters?
1t was armed American merchant ships that para
lyZed British sea commerce in the struggle for indie
%pendence.
1t was armed American merchant ships that humbled
the pride of England in the war of 1912.
In the beginning 1t was only natural that civilized
Americans should become ship builders and sailors. The
colonists, set on the shores of the Atlantic, with a saw
age, trackless continent behind them and before them
the great ocean, beyond which lay the civilization and
markets Of Europe, were, out of the very nature of
things, drawn to the sea.
They had forests of the finest timber growing down
to the edge of the salt water and they were an ener-
getic and practical people. A year after the Puritan
colonists settled at Salem and Boston the armed trading
ship Blessing Of the Bay, the first deep sea vessel Of
Massachusetts. was built at Medford.
In 1740 New England had at least a thousand sail in
the fishing trade. Commerce with Europe grew. In
1859 the colonists built S89 vessels, with a total tonnage
aggregating 10000 tons. And there were shipyards in
cut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland,
Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia.
The British %shipyards could not compete with Amer
lea. The British forests were largely depleted, while the
Americans had a glorious supply Of white oak, live oak,
white pine, yellow pine and all the materials, save metal
fastenings, necessary for the construction Of ships, grow
ing right at the margin of the ocean.
English shipwrights swarmed across to the colonies.
In 1724 the shipbuilders of the Thames uttered a public
outcry against the departure of their most skilled work
men to America.
The mother country steadily worked to break the
American shipbuilding industry, But all in vain.
At the time of the revolution the tonnage Of Ameri-
can ships was 398. 900 tons, almost a third Of the entire
British tonnage and American trade with the British

ton that we have sunk to such an insignificant rank on
salt water to-day?
The colonies let loose their seamen upon the COM
merce of their naughty enemy. Their merchant ships
had long carried cannon and gunners. Fighting was a
part of commercial seamanship in those piratical days.
In 1881 the thirty cruisers of the continental navy had
dwindled down to nine, while the American privateers
amounted to 449, with 6,735 guns, all manned by mer-
chant sailors and directed by private owners.
These armed merchant ships not only secured the
seas in all directions, sweeping British commerce away,
but they even hung on the British coast and captured
the very linen vessels. The linen fleet passing between
Ireland and England had to be, for the first time, con-
voyed by men-ofwar.
So CALAMITY did the American privateers outwit or
outrun the kings cruisers and prey on the kings COM
merce that before the end Of the war they had captured
or destroyed something like $4,000 900 worth of British
property, to say nothing of the terrific loss occasioned
by the general interruption of British commerce. And
things, that the merchant ships built of American trees,
in American ~shipyards and manned by American sailors,
made the purse-sensitive British all the more eager to
abandon the struggle with America.
What could the United States do to-day, under SINH
lar circumstances, with practically no deep sea merchant
marine and with a steam navy that has to depend for
any unusual effort upon foreign ships and foreign crews
to secure an adequate coal supply?
1t is not a fact that the American members of The
Hague international conference continue to plead with
other great nations to respect goods carried in neutral
ships during war? And why? because only 10 per cent.
of American international commerce goes under the
American flag and we must depend upon the flags Of
other nations to protect the other 80 per cent.
In 1894 the tariff weapon was used to protect Ameri-
can ships, when congress abandoned the 10 per cent,
reduction In duties on cargoes carried in American ships
and, instead, added 10 per cent. to the duties on mer-
chandise imported in foreign ships.
American shipbuilding and ocean commerce grew by

These were paralyzing blows to American snippins.
President Jefferson answered the wholesale seizure o I our
ships and sailors by persuading congress U lorpiu A"0
can vessels to engage In foreign trade.
In 1910 when the United States at last responded 10
british outrages on our shipping by declaring war, the
policy Of Jefferson had allowed the American navy "
shrink to % vessels carrying $50 guns. This smal lorce
captured 24 British ships valued with their cargoes AZ
$4,000, 900.
But the debt which America owes to her merchant ma
rine in that second war for independence can W pai1y
estimated by the fact that the armed American privateers
numbered SIT, with 1898 guns, and captured 1,Soo OF tne
enemy's ships and cargoes, valued at $39,OOO,OOo.
In spite of the vexatious efforts Of Great Britain 10 IN
lure our maritime interests, American shipping contn-
ued to increase. It was not only the magnificent packet
ships Of the North Atlantic and the wonderful clipper
ships of a later day that gave renown to the American
shipyard aid sailor, but the swiftness OF American SHIPS
and the courage and initiative of their merchant owners
in every sea-even in the rich Asiatic trade-gave such
an impetus to American sea enterprise that IN 1861 our
shipping tonnage almost exactly equaled the whole ton
mage of Great Britain.
To-day our entire tonnage, including our coastwise
trade, from which all foreign ships are excluded, Is only
onethird Of the British tonnage. although our foreign
trade has increased from s508,S64,375 in 1861 to $3,31b,
272,503 in 1907. Our foreign trade has increased to more
than six times its size in 1861, while our ships In for
eign trade have shrunk from 2,496,894 tons to 9400Sf
tons.
American shipowners to-day frankly acknowledge thai
1t is the high price of American labor, both In construc
ton and operation of ships that has driven and Is still
driving our flag from foreign trade.
