JONES SHIPPING BILL
Says it is Americas Bid for Su-
premacy" and is Dis
crininatory.

London July 12.--The Jones Blu
characterized as Americas bid for shlpI
ping supremacy is denounced by the
shipping expert Of tho Sunday Observer
as hretaliatory and discriminatory"
lie declares that the war has taught other
nations the importance Of owning rner-
cnntile marine and that jealousy has been
aroused throughout the world by the
ability and maanficence' of the British
mercantile establishment "ln two eoun-
tries" he asserts, lin particular, ~ a
feeling of most bitter jealousy against our
mercantile marine. These two countries
are France and the United States.
The writer declares that there ~ moth
ing 10 which foreigners can object IN the
principal provisions Of the Jones bill Inso-
far MS il is intended to coordinate the
transport resources of the United States
whether ocean, coastwise or inland ship
ping. railways, ports and docks SO ne 10
form one imense undertaking 30 force
American export and import trade into
the holds Of American ships.
He says, however, that some OF the
clauses Of the bill were intended TO he dis
orirninatory against Great Britain and
japan, Among these he mentions those
which authorize preferential treatment
10 American vessels in American ports
The insurance provisions Of the bill, he
saws. impose the most drastic forms Of
returns. which arc based absolutely
upon the methods Of the German IN
suranee companies, against which AmerI-
ca herself protested so bitterly previous
| 20 her entry into the war. These have
| been devised admittedly for the purpose
nf learning every iota OF business trans
acted hg foreign companies with a view to
passing the Same on Ia American concerns.
! The object OF course Is that. having this
| information, tho government may Gust
| the American company entirely to assist
| British insurance.
In the same vein is the clause which
valves IN favor of American insurance
companies. the Sherman antitrust law.
| This is entirely on a par with the methods
| adopted hv the Shipping Board during
| the war when IL tranapired the confden-
| tial information given IN the Shipping
Board solely for the purpose Of the war
was being used m enable American ship

I'VE IN this country now know that we
arc to be- faced with the most bitter com
petition for the supremacy of the seas

win the fight she must create n natlona
