FOREIGN SHIPPING
SAID TO LEAD
SECTION q FIGHT
Protests From Abroad
Flayed By California
Congressman

WASHINGTON, April Is. Foreign
Influence working against the applica-
ton Of section % Of the merchant ma
rine act providing preferential rates to
shippers using American vessels were
attacked today by Representative Line
berger, republican, California, before
the House committee investigating the
shipping board.
Reading from newspaper articles stat
ing Japanese chambers of commerce
had protested against the section, as
well as the Japanese exclusion provi-
sions Of the immigration bill, the Cal
ifornia representative said there was
a very close connection between the
protests" and that the same fundamen-
tai principle was Observation-Disclosures the
United States shall control ifs domestic
policies
Representative Lineberger asked the
committee to determine how closely the
foreign protests were associated with
some Of the opposition heard by the
House merchant marine committee from
democratic interests. Representatives
Davis, democrat, Tennessee, asserted
his opinion that local protests were
made because of fear of an injury to
American commerce."
Hro0lctS RECLAMATION
II don't think, he said, that many
members of Congress would be influ-
enced by any foreign expression of Opin-
ion, but think it inevitable that there
will be retaliation on the part of for
eign maritime nations against enforce
ment of section 49,"
MIR. David said he and Chairman
White of the committee had been ap-
pointed by the merchant marine COM
mittee to determine how long the Op-
Grafton of section % should be deferred
and to perfect some of its involved
phraseology.
Representative LazarO of Louisiana,
ranking democrat on the merchant ma
rine committee, who accompanied the
investigating committees witness to the
hearing, said the marine committee had
the impression there was "a good deal
of foreign opposition" He said the
committee found there were represent
alive Americans who were very uneasy
over the immediate application of Sec
ton g."
Says More Time Needed
He Thought the evidence so far
brought out had convinced the commit
tee that a little more time should be
allowed to look into the subject.
Ernest w. Meyer, passenger agent
for the United States lines at New
Orleans, testified gratuities frequently
are paid stewards to induce purchase
OF supplies from certain firms and that
the laid-up government fleet at New
Orleans had been virtually stripped"
OF equipment.
He asserted that crews subsistence
was very poor and that stewards
boosted" they. could furnish crews
"cheaply" under the present contracts.
While the board allowed 5 cents a
day per man for food, the witness as
serted, the stewards were furnishing
supplies from 40 to 81 cents, the bal
ance going to the ship operators.
