Mr.. Bredal IN q statement given
wide publicity abroad, says that the
present case is unique and the objec-
tion without justification.
when say that the case is uniuue,"
MI. Bredal remarked, "it is not merely
on account Of the manner in which the
action was taken, but further in re-
spect that it is also the first time in
the history Of arbitration at The
Hague that any Of it's judgments have
been assailed on the ground of valid
ity.
meanwhile let US look more closely
into the protest raised in the present
instance.
81. In paragraph 70 of the Hague con-
vention it is stated quite briefly that
The arbitration Judgment shall be rea-
soned.' This decision did not appear
in the convention of 1899, and it came
in at the revision in 1907, after thor
ough discussion, and against minor
ity who strongly urged that it would
be more correct to deliver tho iudg-
ment as a conclusion without premises.
But no decision was given regarding
the extent and matter OF the premises,
and, of course, no decision could be
given on those points. 1t had to be LEFT
to the court itself. And in regard to
this | may venture to assert that when
the judgment had premises which leave
no doubt of what has been judged and
decided it cannot lay the Judgment
open to attack if these premises appear
in Il more or less full and exhaustive
shape. This is valid for the procedure

Norway Expects y. S. to Ratify
Hague Shipping Claim, Decision

International arbitration as prin-
ciple will receive almost death blow
II the United States fails to ratify the
decision of The Hague tribunal ON the
claim OF the Norwegian ship owners
against this country, according to
statements by Johan Bredal former
Minister OF Justice in Norway. MT
Bredal expresses confidence that Secre-
tary of State Hughes, who has the
matter now before him, will give his
approval and overrule the objections
made to the decision by Chandler P
Anderson, American member of the
Arbitration Court.
The present controversy arose when
American, one Norwegian and one
Swiss, upheld in substance the claim is
OF the Norwegian ship owners for ap-
proximately $12,0o0,OO0 arising from
the seizure of ships during the war.
II was the contention of the Shipping
Board that the United States govern

construction here for Norwegian own
ers at the beginning of the war and

had in effect taken over the contracts,

Upstate New York
Supports Shipping
AS Aid to Farmers
Representative Snyder Sees
Advantages From Anneri-
can Merchant Fleet; Hard
ing Plan Is Endorsed

Indications that the agricultural and
manufacturing interests of upstate
New York are willing to support gov
eminent aid to shipping as vital
factor in foreign trade, and also as
the best means of solving the Ship
ping Board problem, were given in an
address delivered during the week in
Washington by Representative Homer
P. Snyder, of Little Falls. Mr.
snyder's speech in the House on the
subsidy bill was regarded as express
ing the sentiment in that part of New
York State not directly connected with
the seaport.
1T does not seem possible to me that
representative from any section of
this country could be opposed to
measure of this kind" said Mr.. Snyder.
II cannot understand why it will not
be just as helpful to the farmer who
has wheat or corn or any other
product the surplus quantities Of
which must be shipped abroad, and
why he would not feel that it was es-
sential to ship these surpluses in
American bottoms, particularly as it
would afford the government an op-
portunity eventually to recover much
of the loss that has been made ON the
| ships which we are to dispose Off
Mr.. Snyder said that promotion OF
ocean shipping under the American
| flag would be merely an extension of
| the work undertaken by the govern
| ment in past years to encourage the
! construction Of roads and rail lines as
the arteries Of commerce. Aside from
this feature, he added, the result OF
the subsidy would be to reduce the
$50,o0o,oOO, which the government is
now spending for services operated by
the Shipping Board, to 100000 a
year for the promotion Of private en-
terprise. The purposes Of the bill, he
described, as follows:
First, it proposes to take the gov
ernment out: Of the shipping business
Second, it proposes TO discontinue
the deficit from depreciation, which
would. undoubtedly, amount to $780,
000,000 year.
at proposes to turn over these ships
to privately owned companies on such
basis that they can be operated at d
profit and yet be able to compete with
the other ship-earrying companies OF

New-York tribune., 1922-11-27

the lawful authority of the bureau
to select coast ports as home ports
rather than interior points in the state
in which the corporation is created
may be removed.
The question of the home port OF
the vessel also is of Importance, not
only in connection with the place of
issuance of marine documents but in
determining the place at which
mortgages of vessels of the United
States shall be made. Subsection B
Of Section so of the merchant marine
act, 1920 is therefore amended to re-
quire that such record shall be made
at the home port, as shown in the
vessels documents. In inserting the
language 'sas shown in the vessels
documents the validity of the record
is made to rest not upon the vendee's
or mortgagee's guess as to the home
port of the vessel but on ths definite
fact of the actual determination of
the home port by the Collector Of
Customs and the Secretary of Com
merce, as shown in the vessels
documents.
While the general rule provided by
the change is that the home port shall
be 'that port of Recommendation at or
nearest TO, and in the same customs
is conducted the greater part of the
vessel business of the owner,n the
Secretary of Commerce is given
power by regulation to prescribe home
ports IN cases not within the above
rule-,-ass for instance, vessels owned
by the United States or tho United
States Emergency Fleet Corporation
vessels not engaged In trade, as
Yachts OF cable boats--aiad cases
where there Is no port OF docungnta-
New-York tribune., 1922-11-27

to interstate commerce by rail.
Section 42 of the shipping act of
1916 provides that vessels arc docu-
mented under the laws of the United
States until their documents are sur
rendered with the approval of the
t; board. As it reads, however, this sec
ton applies only to subdivision B of
section 81 of the same act, which SUBJ
division prohibits the transfer without
the approval of the board Of vessel
documented under the laws of the
United States during war or national
emergency. The effect of the amend
ment is to make the boards approval
OF the surrender of documents equally
necessary in time of peace and to pre-
vent any evasion of the provisions of
section 8 by first surrendering the
yessePs document and then trans
Ierr1ng the undocumented vessel.
Homie Port of Vessels
Section 4141 of the Revised Statutes
reads as follows:.
Every vessel, except as is herein
after provided, shall be registered by
the collector Of that collection district
which includes the port to which such
vessel shall belong at the time of her
registry, which port shall be deemed
to be that at or nearest to which the
than one, the husband or acting and
managing owner of such vessel,
usually resides.
The above section was enacted in
1852, before the time when corpora
tions were engaged in operating yes
sells. The language of the provision
was framed without consideration OF
the possibility of corporate, as dis
tinguished from individual, ownership
of vessels. The result is that, if the
requirement that vessels home port
be the place where 'the owner
usually resides" we're literally en-
forced, many of our vessels would
have home ports in such interior
points as Denver, Col, and Nogales
Ariz. However, the Bureau Of Naviga-
ton has in practice generally author
lied the issuance OF the marine docu-
ments of Il vessel ut the port where
the greater part OF the vessel busi-
ness of the owner is conducted rather
than at such interior points. This
existing practice Of tho Bureau OF
Navigation is made law by the present
bill in order that any question as to
