.S-ia lnsl.e n disturbance Of those
cordial Commercial relations which are
the inst requisite TO the expansion OF
our commerce abroads
Contemplating tho readiness OF con
gross to grant . decreased duty on
imports brought TO our shJres In A
crfcan bottoms and facing tho en-
harrnsaents incident to readjustment
of all treaty arrangements IL seemed
desirable to find a way OF applying
suitable aid to our shipping. which tho
congress clearly intended. and at the
- - 49, Aa-ta
c. our trade relationships abroad.
Tho Recommendation OF today is
based wholly on this communicable
intent OF congress. Tho propesd aid
OF tho government on its merchant
marine Is to have its chief source in
the duties collected on imports. In
stead OF applying the discriminating
duty TO tho specific cargo. and Thus
encouraging only the inbound ship
ment. I propose hat we shall collect
Ill import duties without discrtmina-
ton as between American and foreign
bottoms and apply tho heretofore pro-
posed reduction to create n fund for
m governments aid 20 our merchant
marine. By such a program wo shall
encourage not alone the carrying OF
inbound cargoas subject to our Tariffs
but VIC shall strengthen American
ships in the carrying OF that greaser
inbound on which no duties are low
iod and more important than these,
we shall equip N merchant marine
to serve our outbound commerce,
which Is tho measure OF our eminence
in foreign trade.
It is interesting TO note. IN eonnec-
ton with the heretofore proposed plan
OF discriminating tariffs IN imports
carried to our shores in American bot
toms. that tho value OF all dutiable
imports for 1920 In all vessels was 81

ton was possible, were valued at ga
