WHY WE HAVE NO
OCEAN SHIPPING
Navigation Laws Mean High Operat-
ing Costs.

The reason why the United States has
no ocean shipping is simple; the naviga-
ton laws of the United States make 1t too
expensive to fly the American flag.
Formerly American registry was open
only to vessels built in the United States.
It used to cost from one-third to one-half
more TO build here than in British or Ger
man Yards, and there is still a considera bic
margin In their favor. Thia was enough
In itself to keep American ships out of
the highly competitive foreign trade.
Free ship advocates succeeded two years
ago in attaching to the Panama canal bill
a provision that foreign built ships not
over FIVE years old might be admitted to
American registry. Nobody took advan-
tage OF this provision, because hoisting
the American flag meant big increase in
operating cost withou, any advanta ges
to offset It
Our navigation laws include many rules
such as those relating to food and quar-
ters for the crew, their numbers and
hours of labor which are more severe on
the ship owner than those OF other coun-
tries. Moreover the officers must be
American citizens. and to be eligible for
mail contracts not only officers, but two
tnlrdS or the crew as well, must be Amer
team citizens Americans Will not go t.
sea except for wages much higher thar
will satisfy foreigners. The American
line. flying the American flag, has to pay
$40 a month, against s25 a month for the
other lines owned by the Internationa
Mercantile marine, which fly British OF
other foreign flags.
Steamship owners report that 1t cost:
| about one-third more to operate a shiy
In the transatlantic trade under tn,
| American flag than under any other.
The new registry measure. Just passed
| by Congress. removes the fve-year-ag.
| limit. and allows any American-owncC
! foreign-buil ships to be admitted Il
! American registry. If any ship owner
take advantage of this new law-and 1t il
