U.S.A TREATS CANADA BETTER
 THAN SHE GETS
American Ships Are Heavily Taxed in B. C.; Canadians
 Pay No American Taxes

WASHINGTON, April 6.-Maurice D. Leehey, special counsel for the Alaska Territorial Shipping Board, presented evidence to the Senate Commerce Committee yesterday showing that American ships are paying more taxes in British Col umbia ports than Canadian ships pay to their own country, while Canadian ships pay no taxes to the Territory of Alaska at all.
 All ships entering a British Col umbia port pay harbor tax and distressed mariners fund tax of 20 cents per ton per annum, but Can adian coastwise ships pay no pilot age tax while American ships en- tering British Columbia ports arc taxed one and a half cents per ton for each trip both in and out of each British Columbia port except Victoria where the pilotage is about one-half the rates quoted. This pilotage tax is insisted upon wheth- CT the American ship carries li- censed Canadian pilot or not.
 MT Leehey showed that the pro- posed Alaska license tax would ap- ply to all classes of vessels, Amer ican as well as Canadian and Jap Gnese.
 Mir Leehey aso produced clippings from American newspapers sent out under Victoria date lines in oppo- sition to the Alaska shipping bill, which he characterized as propa- ganda. He declared that the Alas ka bill cannot injure the Canadian lines except by strengthening the American merchant marine and by that means making the American lines stronger competition for the Canadian lines. He asserted that the United States and Alaska treat ed Canadian ships far more liberally than Canada and British Columbia treat American ships, and that this relation would not be changed by the proposed Alaska shipping bill He contended that all shipping in terests the Canadians had least oi which to complain. American coast wise shipping has been practically taxed out of Canadian ports, while Canadians use American ports free of charge.
