SEAMAN LANGUAGE TEST
CLAUSE is INTERPRETED
Secretary Hedheld Sets Forth What
Government Expects in Meet
ing Law.

The governments Interpretation of
the language test clause of the sea-
mems act. passed by the last Congress.
has been announced by Secretary of
Commerce Redfield. 1t sets forth that
the law does not require the use of
any ticu,ar language on the part
of officers and crew of any vessel" but
that ANY language which is under
stood in sufficient measure by officers
and the proper proportion of the crew
will comply"
The requirement that members of
the crew shall be able to understand
any order given them by their officers
is construed as meaning only such
orders as may normally be given to
members of the crew in each depart
ment of the vessel in the course of the
usual performance of their regular
duties. Among these duties. however.
should be included lifeboat work or
emergency work for such members of
the crew as may be called upon to
perform these classes Of work.
In conclusion, Secretary Redfield says
the language test is understood to re-
quire the safeguarding of vessel "in
such a manner as shall be helpful and
not hurtful to our maritime commerce
and that It Is in no sense intended to
be used to create embarrassment or to
cause unnecessary expense or delay"
