T0BR|NG ABOUT DEFEAT
Speaker Asserts Foreign
Influence Is Plainly
Apparent
CBy Associated PreSSb

hllWdukee, WIS, Nov. 27-BrltiSh
and other foreign shipping interests
and journals are engaged in a stu
died campaign of Misrepresentation
and propaganda to defeat the Amer
lean ship subsidy bill, Edward c..
hummer, commissioner of the Unit
ed States shipping board, decalred in
speech prepared for delivery today
before the middlewest merchant ma
rlne and foreign trade conference.
Alarmed at the possibility that the
American ships will take from them
some 6S percent of American exports
which are now carried in foreign
ships, the fore+g shipping inter
esls are using every possible means
to discourage the upbuilding of the
merchant marine in this country,
Mr.. Plummer said.
They've been feeding their cattle
IN our pasture so long that they've
come to think they own the land" he
declared. $50 when we start to put
in some stock of our own they pro !
ceed to charge us with about everv- !!
thing from trespass to manslaugh- !
ter" Every sort of discrimination
has been practiced in against Amer
lean ships in foreign trade. Mr..
Plummer said, but when Americans
propose to do little discrimination
in favor of their own vessels, Brit
ish interests charge the United
States is trying to create a monop-
oily. Il
when giant American corpora {
tions like the Bethlehem Company {
and the Texas Company, each of f
them financially stronger than any !
European steamship concern and i
both of them ship builders as well as I
ship owners, find it necessary to i
close their own ship yards and have "
heir own cargoes carried by foreign a
vessels, what is the answer?" Mr.. ip
'!ummer asked. t
when such as they find, as they |
lid, that they can charter foreign S
'esselS for less money than it takes b
merely to operate their own steam t.
rs under the American flag, what is n
he sense Of setting up the claim "
S opponents of American shipping a
o-that American ships without it
government aid can compete with tc
oreign ships in carrying the COM It

Mr.. Plummer pointed out that bv CO
