PRESIDENT CONSIDERING
 NEW SHIPPING BILL
May Allow Foreigners to Navigate
 Ships for Specified Period.

Washington, Aug 26.-President Wilson today began consideration of the regulations to be issued under the new shipping law for the registry of foreign built ships under the Ameri- can flag. Assistant Secretary of Com merce Sweet has made recommenda- uons on the subject and decision is expected within the next few days. If the president adopts the recommends uons of Mir. Sweet he will not fiatly set aside the provision of the naviga- tion laws requiring masters and mates of ships admitted to American regis try to be American citizens, but will set a time limit within which for eisners may serve in those capaci- ties. MT. Sweets idea is that the for eign masters and mates should be en- couraged to become American citizens.
 Shipping companies whose vessels now fly foreign flags are withholding formal applications under the new law until the president issues an executive order as authorized by the act Mir. Sweet believes that if his recom- mendationS are approved about 100 ships now under foreign flags will ap- ply for American registry.
