was in 1910, although the
value of our foreign commerce has
increased twenty-seven times over
that of 1910.
More than a century ago Ameri-
can ships carried over 80 per cent
Of our foreign commerce; now they
carry 9 per cent. Through prefer
ences under our laws for American
vessels, both In import duties and
in tonnage dues, between 1883 and
1850, they carried an average of
so per cent of our foreign COM
merce during the entire period;
they have averaged 10 per cent
since then, and now carry 8 per
cent.
In their national platforms dur
ing the past decade Democrats
have declared in favor Of the res
toration of the old preferential
policy.
Not until this year, however,
have Democrats had opportunity to
restore that old and successful pol
icy But, in the new tariff bill as
it passed the House, provision was
made as follows:
J. Subsection :. That dis
count Of per Centum on all dH-
ties imposed By this act SHAH be
aHo1oed on such goods, a0dres and
merchandise az SHAH be imported
in VesseIs admitted to registration
under the IGtos Of the United
States.
The United States began, in
1915, to gradually suspend the OPP
Grafton Of the preferential policy
in favor of American vessels, and
from time to time entered into
trade treaties with other nations
by which 1t agreed to accord equal
treatment to the ships of such ma
tons and the goods they carried
as in our own ports we accord to
our own. So, when the above sec
ton appeared in the new tariff
bill, the attention Of our State De
partment was called to these trade
treaties by several Of the score Of
nations with which we have trea-
ties, and, responding to a request
from the Treasury Department for
an opinion, Mr.. J. B. Moore, coun-
selor Of the State Department,
wrote a letter on May %, 1918,
quoting from a number Of these
trade treaties and conventions, and
saying:
Question of Conflict.
The UdrtoW8 stipulati0,ts aboUe
quoted suffice TO Shotc the pwrport
Of the treaty provisions soith tohich
the proposed subsection iS alleged

But what if Congress did not IN
tend to enact section that would

nor limit the discount to merchan-
disc imported in American vessels?
