Discussing the charter situation on
the Atlantic Coast, Mr.. Smull said:
"Somc time ago the board Of trustees
decided it was not fair to privately
owned. tonnage on the Atlantic Coast
to charter our vessels on bare boat
basis to compete against established
coastwise lines. There is no doubt that
a ship or bare boat charter Mt 80
cents a ton can compete successfully
with privately owned tonnage bought
at high prices, for the private owner
has to take into consideration over
head expenses, depreciation, interest
and marine insurance.

Shipbuilders Ask
Navy and Board 10
Aid rivate Yards
Protest Against Policy Of
Turning Merchant Vessels
Over to Government Es-
iablishments for Repairs

A protest has been filed with the
Board by the Atlantic Coast Shipbuild
ers' Association against tho use Of
navy yards for the repairing and dry
docking Of merchant vessels, Secretary
Clarence s. King announced yesterday.
The association states that aside from
the fact that it is inherently unjust for
the navy yards to compete with private
plants, such competition by tho govern
ment will make it extremely difficult
to maintain and support adequate ship
repair facilities, which arc essential fog
the success Of the American merchant
marine.
"For come time past" says Mr.. King,
"the business world has been RECALLED
with pronouncemcnts from govern
mental sources TO the effect that
private enterprise was to be en-
couragcd. and that interference by
government departments was to be
cordially accepted at their face value
because tho encouragement Of private
initiative and efficiency was so obvious
ly the sensible thing. 1t appears, how
ever, that in the case Of ship repair
ing tho expected cooperation has not
fully matcralzed and the ship repair
ing industry consequently continues to
face the competition Of tho navy yards
Of the country at time when tenn
porary lull in shipbuildng has intensi
fed competitive bidding for this class
Of work"
Mr.. King states that these great
private shipbuilding plants arc being
denied sustenancc from the very thing
r..
creasing tendency to allot repair work
and dry docking Of United States Ship
ping Board vessels to the various navy
yards Of the country regardless Of the
fact that this practice appears to be q
violation of existing rules and regula~
tions governing the use Of the Navy
Departments facilities for such work.

Export Trade
On u. S. Ships
Declines lO%
Foreign esscls Gain Gradual
1y on American i'm p. G.. of
Commerce Carried; u. S.
Adds to Import Trade

Exports In American vessels declined
from So per cent in September to IS
per cent in October. marking the great
cet decline in this part of American
foreign trade within the last sixteen
months with the exception of May,
when the drop was II per cent. &C
cording to 4 statement from Z. S.
Gregg, chief Of the transportation divi-
sion OF the bureau OF foreign and do
mestic commerce.
The volume of imports into the United
States. exclusive OF bulk oil shipments
and Great Lakes cargoes, has made a
considerable increase. from 6SS.775
long tons in August to S3o,066 tons in
October. The exports in these months
declined from 2.162,S64 to 2,040,t ISL
tons. leaving net gain for the period
OF 10000 tona.
The position Of American ships in
foreign trade shows an improvement so
FAR as imports arc concerned, but the
reverse is true with respect to export
commerce. During September Ship
ping Board and privately owned veS~
eels carried 40 per cent of our imports
and S3 per cent of our exports, cx-
elusive of oil shipments and Great
Lakes cargoes. Figures for October
show that the share OF American ships
has increased to AZ per cent for i'm
ports and declined to 2S per cent for
exports. Combining our exports and
imports, American vessels carried 29
per cent in October as compared with
70 per cent in September and 40 per
cent for period of sixteen months.
These figures give concrete evidence
of the gradual drop in the proportion
of foreign commerce carried under the
United States flag. A large part of the
decrease has been shown with regard
10 government vessels, following the
policy of withdrawal put into effect by
the Shipping Board, but the percentage
Tor privately owned vessels has been
nearly as large Foreign fleets are
gradually encroaching upon the busl-
less of American ships.
Imports of oil increased from 1907
227 long tons in September to 1927, ,094
tens in October, and were the largest
tor any month since February Exports
declined slightly, but were we'll above
he average for the sixteen months
The percentage of oil carried in Ship
ping Board tankers advanced from 3
per cent in September to per cent In
October. The percentage carried by in.
dependent American companies gained
from rs to II per cent, while that IN
foreign ships dropped from % to 10
per cent. In exports foreign tankers
Increased their proportion from AZ to
e per cent from September to OCTOBER

in competition with vessels privately
owned.
"Since tho board has been in Office
we have been able to collect moro
than $lTS000 in demurrage," Mr..
Smull said. Formerly these dcmur-
rage claims either lay dormant or were
put into the hands of the legal dspart-
ment, where it would take three to flve
years to get thcm tried out In court.
Demurrage is a delicate question, and
it is often decided on tcchnicalitics Of
law.
"Wo have been able to settle thcse
cases by mutual agreement or arbitra-
tion. My department. has under active
negotiation for settlement more than
100000 worth of these claims. Alto
gethcr there seems to be about
S2.o0o,000 Of these demurragc claims
against American shippers and about
Sa,Qoo,oo0 against foreign govern
mcnts."
Regarding Withdrawals and alloca-
tions, Mr. Small said:
"On July "a there were seventy
five active managaing agents Of the
feet corporation operating 674 steel
ships. Twe.:o were tramp operators,
losses ran from $4,000 to $4,000 a
round trip to Europe, approximately
$3.50 600 being voyage operation loss
last June.
son January i. 1922, there will only
be forty-three active agents handling
32t ships. All tramp steamers have
been withdrawn. The losses in voy-
age operations in October the last
month for which we have report, had
been cut to s4oo,o0o, and arc still
being diminished.
"lNrom July 20 to the present date
526 stelc cargo carriers have been
withdrawn and 173 arc allocatcd AZ
follows: Eighty for berth service,
thirteen for bulk cargoes and eighty
as substitutes for the bettcrment of
services and tho saving of repairs
This leaves 353 steel cargo and pas
scngcr vessels that have been tied up
