to February q there had been trans
ferred to American registry lS5

tons. but since then only twenty
eight ships of SS.745 gross tons have
been transferred.
The report finds that the expense

adds
These laws that add to the cost
of operating American ships are said
to apply equally to foreign vessels
entering our ports. Without arguing
this i'm detail there is only this to
be said: If in practice they apply
also TO foreign vessels, they increase
our freight rates and handicap our
trade-if they do not apply to foreign
ships they drive our ships out OF busi-
ness. There is no escape from one
or the other conclusion.
Recommendation Made.

THAT Congress establish a perma
