ARE UNAfFECTEDE
 BY SHIPPING LAW Extension of Statute to Philip.- pines Not Contemplated Now

Manila, P. l., Oct. 13-The exten- sion of the coastwise shipping law o1 the United States to the Philippine Islands is not contemplated at pres ent, President Harding assured Sena- tor Manuel l.. Quezon in a letter made public here by the latter. The presi- dent shows deep interest in Philippine capita and asks if local capitalists are interested in American vessels.
 The letter, dated at the White House, July "A, follows:
 T have just concluded reading the brief filed by yourself and Mir. Os- mena, chairman of the commission on the part of the house, relative to the declaration of the effectiveness of the coastwise shipping law between the Philippine Islands and the United States mainland ports. l note that you stress the inadequacy of ship ping on both the Atlantic and Pacific, but give special emphasis to such in- adequacy on the Atlantic and the route by way of the Suez canal. As you understand, the law contemplates that no declaration of the coastwise
New Britain herald., 1922-10-13

provision shall be made until the
 president is assured of the declara. tion of the service by American ships. 1 think l have already assured you in person, and am glad to confirm 1t now, that no such step will be con- templated until there is ir1disputable evidence of the declaration of such shipping.
 One phase of your brief has in. terested me very much. I refer to your reference to the inability of Philippine citizens to own vessels of American registry and the ineligibility of Philippine citizens to be officers on such vessels. I am very glad you called this matter to my attention. am very much interested to know if any Philippine capital is interested in investing in American vessels and whether there is a tendency on the part of Philippine citizens to serve as officials on such vessels. Moreover, I should like to know if Philippine capital is invested in vessels flying other national flags and whether any Philippine citizens are engaged in the service of such vessels under foreign flags"
