Prior to the enactment of section : OF

were denied American registry. As a
means Of extending the American mer-
chant marine II was regarded as desirable
that American persons and corporations
should be permitted to fiy the American
flag on foreign built vessels that had been
employed IN service for more than i've
year,.
Il is suggested by officials here that a
general European war would render use
less many foreign built ships in Amerl-
can trade and that a state of affairs
would develop as result that would seri-
ously cripple the commerce OF the United
States.
This would force the United states n

that in this contingency Congress would
be called upon to enact remedial legis-
la.ion They say that some relief would
be afforded by an enactment that would
