the world. Then the situation was
just reversed, and a view from any OF
the local wharveS put US in the sight
OF most every flag except our own
recall continued Mr. Butter
worth, that number of years ago.
prior TO the inauguration of the Gee
anlc steamship company line to Sgd
ney, Australia, the American colony
there requested the United States
government to send vessel there so
they could once more get a view of
the american flag. The cruiser Bal
timore was sent and any member of
tnat crew will forever remember the
reception they were accorded
Mr. Butterworth stated that of the
fourteen vessels in the harbor We'd.
nescay five were in the European
trade, six in the Cuban trade, two in
South American trade, one in Central
American trade and one ship was run
ming coastwise.
In discussing the benefit to the
american people the new merchant
marine. Mr.. Butterworth said, What
1t means to the American people to
own their own merchant marine is pos
sibly best demonstrated by facts. If
an American vessel arrives in the
harbor either for bunkering or load
ing, before proceeding on her voyage
all necessary repairs are made and the
fuel, pilot, harbor master, towboat
and boatman fees are paid. The crew
Is paid one half of the wages due
them and in most cases this money
Is lett here. The particular amount
OF money that the vessel leaves de-
pending upon the length of her stay
will run from $500 to $4,000. In the
case of foreign ship no repairs are
made here except those that are abb
solutely necessary and the supplies
purchased are perishable and would
not be purchased at all if it could be
avoided
Very little If any clothing is bought
in this country by the crews of these
ships and only a small percentage
OF their wages are paid them while in
port. Most people argue that it costs
more to operate American vessels, but
the wages paid Aon foreign ships have
been brought UP to the standard of
the wages paid on our ships except in
the cases of Japanese, French and
Spanish where the scale is consider
ably lower"
Mr. Butterworth stated that there
were now about 1000 vessels con-
trolled by the shipping board most of
which had been built in the past two
years.
