STEPS TAKEN TO
/ RUSH REGISTRY Of
FOREIGN VESSELS
UNITEDSTATES WILL ACCEPT
MEASUREMENTS MADE BY
OTHER GOVERNMENTS.

Washington, Aug. 25.-Acting Sec
rotary Sweet, of the department of
commerce. has taken steps to expedite
the registering of foreign built ships
under the American flag. 1t has been
decided that it will not be necessary
for these vessels TO be physically pres
ent at American ports TO be register
ed. This, 1t is believed, will material
~ shorten the time needed for the
registering of many vessels. Arran &C.
ments are being made so that con-
suls of the United States can perfect
the registry of vessels after applica-
ton has been made TO the department
of commerce.
Acting Secretary Sweet today issued
regulation to remove a mistaken
notion that there Is a wide difference
between American regulations for
measuring vessels and the regulations
of other maritime nations. 1t is stat
ed that there are slight differences in
some features, but TO q great extent
these offset one another. The prin-
cipai difference is in the interpreta-
ton of the words shelter decks" the
British authorities constituting them
usually somewhat more literally than
American authorities, but the British
cargoes while the United States does
not The regulation issued today to
collectors of customs Is as follows.
Merchant vessels of Great Britain,
Belgium, Denmark, Austria Hungary,
the German empire, Itaiy. Sweden.
Norway Spain, the Netherlands, Rus
sia, Finland. Portugal, Japan and
France will be deemed TO be of the
tonnage denoted in their certificates
OF register or other national papers,
and II shall not be necessary for such
vessels to be rerneasured at any port
Of the United States the measurement
law Of these countries being sub
stantially similar 10 the laws Of the
United States. This regulation super
sedes the departments regulations in
cluded In article So, customs regula-
tons of 1908. and so much of article
81 az may conflict with this order"
This new regulation Will remove one
obstacle to American registry. az
many shipowners have been contend
ing that the American rules for meas
uring tonnage added materially to the
cost of operation, as compared with
the rules Of other countries.
How many foreign vessels Will reg
lister under the American flag depends
now on the action OF the president,
The department OF commerce has
recommended that the president sus-
that the watch officers on all vessels
Of American registry shall be citizens
of the United States. The recent reg
Istry act leaves this TO be the presi-
dents discretion.
