SECTION TWENTY-EIGHy

Much discussion tas arisen about Section % of
the new Merchant Marine Act which allows
the railroads to make preferential rates on
goods shipped from interior points in this
country to the United States ports by rail
and thence by American ships to foreign
countries, BY allowing low rail rate for goods so
shipped, shippers are encouraged to route their
freight by American lines thus helping to build up
our merchant marine Getting empty cars west to
supply the need of industries to ship products east,
has always been problem and by this arrangement,
cars can be brought west loaded instead of empty
Great Britain, Germany and japan Lave used similar
means to build up their ocean shipping.
AS one ship operator said, Gwen if Section %
of our new Merchant Marine Act is never put in
force it is still good ding proposition as it gives
our sea laws teeth which othe, nations are bound
to respect and that is advantage which American
ship operators have never had before"
Foreign lines are offering objections to Section
28 forgetting that they have had similar measures in
their countries which have enabled them to hold
American lines at disadvantage in securing foreign
business, in fact it was such policies by foreign ma
tons that helped wine the American flag from the
seas after the Civil War.
