tion OF the utter dependence of the
United States upon foreign shipping.
The prohibitions against the plan
| of the Democratic leaders are contain
ed first in the general acceptance by
all nations that no transfer of an ene-
my ship to n neutral flag is valid un-
less there is an actual sale. That is
the control of and the profits from
the ships must pass into new hands
to make such a transfer recognizable
by belligerents. The theory of this
established principle of international
law is that ships must not be permit
ted to escape the consequences of their
country being at war by. subterfuge.
The United States government is on
record, in specific instances, as con-
flrming this principle and insisting up
on its being adhered to.
Nations Oppose Plan.
But this principle has been elaborat-
flc and drastic by the provisions of
what is known as the declaration of
London. This declaration is set of
rules for maritime warfare which were
drawn up at a conference, i'm which all
the maritime powers were represented
sitting in London from December A..
1908, to February 26. 1909.
Article 55 of this convention pro-
vides:
''The transfer of an enemy vessel to
a neutral flag, effected before the out
break of hostilities, is valid, unless il
is proved that such transfer was made
i'm order to evade the consequences to
which an enemy vessel. as such. is ex-
posed. There is, however. a presump-
tion If the bill of sale is not on board
a vessel which has lost her belligerent
nationality less than sixty days before
the outbreak of hostilities that the
transfer is void. This presumption
may b, rebutted."
No secret Is being made i'm Wash
ington of the purpose of the proposed
amendment of the American law; that
IL is to take in ships of bellgerent ma
tions for the purpose of escaping the
consequences OF the war. But, even
did not this damn the plan and make
il failure certain, the only kind OF
transfer which the powers recognize
as possibly valid is one made before
the outbreak of hostilities.

CLAIM SHIPPING
PLAN IS FUTILE
Powers Won't Recognize Transfer
of Foreign Ships to Our Flag

Washington, Aug. THAT the ef-
forts being made by administration
leaders to build up quickly nenlarg
ed American merchant marine by ad-
mitting To American registry ships OF
the European beligerents will prove
utterly futile is the statement OF au-
thorities on international law in Wash
ington.
The councils of the nations have
heretofore foreseen just such a situa-
ton as now exists, where one nation
seeks profit for itself and transporta-
tioD for its goods by inviting vessels
of belligerent countries to shift to a
neutral llag and thus escape the ordi-
nary consequences of war. Conse-
quently, the most stringent provisions
have been made in international
agreements for meeting this situation.
These provisions all tend to make
such emergency tronsfers almost i'm
possible, by declaring them to be of a
character which the belligerents need
not recognize as valid and permitting
the belligerents to treat vessels, thus
hastily transferred from an enemy's
flag to a neutral flag as enemy vessels.
The form of American law has little
to do with the situation, according to
international lawyers, inasmuch as
the proposed transactions must be
measured by the international stand
ing. Consequently. they assert, mod
ification of the United States laws re-
garding registry of American vessels
will not i'm the least relieve the pres
ent situation.
Law Experts Surprised.
International lawyers say they are
surprised that the leaders in the adj
ministration and in congress should
embark on the proposal without first
examining into the international phas-
es of the situation. Already there have
been published reports from London,
where international questions seem
better understood than here which
show that the plans of the American
statesmen regarding proposed addi-
tions to the United States merchant
marine are not taken seriously. The
United States, consequently, faces the
prospect of being unable to get any
thing like an adequate number OF
ships in which the American crops ana
American manufactures for the export
trade may be gotten out of the coun-
try into the worlds markets. The SIT
uation is regarded as nothing short OF
a real crisis and forceful demonstra-
