SHIPPING TALK HEARD XECESSITY FOR MERCHANT MAR1.E VRGED BY J. XV. ALEXANDER. Chairman of Conarreanlonnl Committee Telia Chamber Members Lack Is Limiting Trade. The passage of the ship purchase bill, which was defeated in the Sen ate, is held by J. W. Alexander, who addressed the members' council of the Chamber of Commerce yesterday at luncheon, to be the only thing that will make it possible for the United States to compete on equal footing in foreign markets with the commerce of other nations. Mr. Alexander is chairman of the committee on merchant marine and fisheries, and introduced the Ship Pur chase Bill in,to the last Congress. He is a Representative from Missouri. The investigations of the so-called shipping trust, which were conducted by a committee of which Mr. Alexander was head, disclosed, he said in bis talk yesterday, that the United States has never been able to break into the markets of foreign countries where there is lively competition, when the goods from this country must be shipped in bottoms of foreign regis try. "In the past four years, while the cost of transportation of our goods to foreign markets has increased from 500 to 17,000 per cent, our merchant marine has remained only a small pro-, portion of the total merchant marine of the world. Ninety-two per cent of the ships on the sea are of foreign registry. Our investigations brought to light agreements between the owners of the various foreign lines, which gave preference to foreign coun tries, and which restricted the vol ume of trade out of any of our ports." Mr. Alexander declared that under present conditions it costs four times as much to ship lumber from here to New York as it costs to manufacture the lumber in the first place. The ship purchase bill will be brought before Congress again at the next session, and in the meantime Mr. Alexander is making further investi gations throughout the country as a basis for an additional report to be filed. The following committee was ap pointed yesterday to consider the reso lution submitted last week, urging that the Congress of the United States take steps for more thorough preparation of the Army and Navy for National de fense: R. G. Dieck. Bishop Sumner. V. K. Finzer, A. L Mills and C. W. Fulton. TCRBIXEU IS DIE TODAV Xortliern Pacific and Hear Sail To morrow With Many Travelers.

Portland is now. in direct touch com mercially with Porto Rico through the medium of the American - Hawaiian Steamship Company, which announces that through bills of ladinsr will be issued here on all shipments bound for that harbor, freight being carried through the canal to New Tork and there reloaded on vessels of the New York & Porto Rican Steamship Com pany. C. D. Kennedy. Portland agent of the line, was officially informed yesterday of the new connection which follows arrangements recently made with the Ward line, operating from New York, through which cargo car, be handled from Portland to Havana on through bills of lading. VOf course, the same system is In vogue from all Pacific Coast ports, and.it is said there is a field for a large amount of tonnage to move, owing to the European war hav ing cut off shipments to those coun tries in the way of canned goods and like commodities that can be supplied from this Coast. The Montanan, of that fleet, reached the river yesterday from New York, via California ports, and begins dis charging at Albers dock today. She has approximately 2300 tons of cargo for Portland and loads back with 1500 tons, of which 1000 tons will be flour, and there will be consignments of sal mon, tallow, cross-arms and general stuff. The West Coast Navigation Company announces its entrance into the canal trade through the charter of the steam er tieorge Hawley, which is to load at New York with steel rails for San Francisco and Portland and .work a lumber cargo here for the return. She is said to be bringing 2500 tons of steel and is expected to be fully loaded on her eastbound trip, her lumber capacity being 2,500,000 feet. The vessel was built in 1912 and is of 1699 tons net register, with a length of 247 feet, beam of 43.7 feet and depth of hold of 28.6 feet. She carries 23 in her crew. The company intends to engage other vessels for the trade. The orig inal plan was to charter a fleet of sailors and use tugs to tow them. With the Boston-Pacific line planning to re sume and additional firms talked of as ready to engage in the canal trade as soon as the war ceases, it is believed that there will be a marked increase in tonnage during the next year. SOUTH DAKOTA AT NAVY YARD Flagship of Pacific Reserve Fleet Makes Speedy Run From Here. Cutting several hours from the time she made on the run here, the cruiser South Dakota, which left down Sunday morning soon after 6 o'clock, arrived at the Bremerton Navy-yard at 10 o'clock yesterday morrUng. It was 3:30 o'clock Sunday afternoon when the big vessel stood out of the Columbia River on her way to the Puget Sound station. The visits here of the Maryland, Ore gon and South Dakota have, in the opinion of shipping interests, done more to convince Navy Department officials of the importance of the Columbia River, channel conditions and Its availability, especially In the estuary, in time of emergency for the largest ves sels of the Pacific fleet, than any argu ments that have been advanced for Navy patronage. " In each case it also has been true that officers and enlisted men have voiced the same sentiments as regards Portland, that they royally were entertained and without any fea tures that would indicate the receptions were forced.
