AWAIT RESULTSOF
NEW REGISTRY LAW
President Expected to Sign Bill
Today-Many Doubt Meas
ure's Utility.

With the shipping registry bill passed
by the Senate and expected to be ready
for the signature OF the President by
tonight, interest turns from the legis.
latlve situation regarding this measure
to the practical question OF admittine
foreign-built ships to American regis
try.
Although there is the utmost scep-
ticism in Congress as to whether relief
will be given this country by the bill
and whether there will be any consid-
cradle number OF applications on the
part Of foreign shipping to register un-
der the American flag. Administrator
ness. They have been informed that a
good many entrances to American
registry will be sought at once. and
they expect that II the war Is prolonged
the disposition Of foreign shipowning
interests to seek American registry will
grow.
Complications Possible.
The first admissions to American
registry. II Is expected. will be Of ves-
sells that are already American owned.
but are flying the flags of other coun-
tries. The United Fruit Company ves-
sells are illustrations.
No particular difficulty is presented
in such cases, where the vessels are
American owned That part of the
bill which will call for careful admin
istration is the orc which enables the
President to suspend legal requirements
regarding watch officers and allow ves-
sells to operate under the american flag
with foreign watch officers.
Reports persist that q movement is
on to transfer the Hamburg-Amer-
lean steamers to American registry.
Unless this should be carried out In
bona fde manner ard an actual
transfer be male to American own
ership, complications with the gov
ernments OF the entente might result.
Coastwise shipping interests are
jubilant today over their success In
defeating the conference report In the
Senate and thus blocking the pro-
posaI to admit foreign-bnilt ships to
the coast trade. They do not believe
there is any likelihood Of legislation
in the near future to break down the
cast shipping monopoly. Both the coast
wise shipping interests and great rail-
road interests are hostile to permitting
foreign vessels to take a hand in the
coast trade.
The tone of debate in the Senate on
the shipping bill indicated that there
will be difficulties about getting legis-
lation for war risk insurance by the
Government Many Democrats are
against II, and II would require strong
Administration pressure to get such
legislation enacted.
