FAVORS SUSPENDING
MARINE ACT SECTION
President Would Put Off for One
Year Partially in Ship
ping Rates.

Suspension of section 2S of the mer-
chant marine act for one year, as
provided in legislation now pending
in Congress, is favored by President
Coolidge.
Mr. Coolidge believes consideration
should be given meantime to the ef-
feet of the section, which would re-
quire American shippers to transport
their goods in American ships to get
the advantages of preferential rail
rates and water rates. He has di-
rected the recently formed rail and
water coordination committee to un-
dertake such a study.
The coordination committee has
appointed Stuart Daggatt of the Uni
versity of California as an expert in
it's investigation and will have its
second meeting Friday. under call
issued today by Secretary Hoover as
chairman.
Legislation to suspend the appli-
cation of section 2S, which recently
was ordered made effective May 10
and later postponed to June 10 by
the Interstate Commerce Commission,
has been reported to the House and
President Coolidge is hopeful it soon
will be taken up.
