I "Washington, Auk. 9 Admiral W. S. Benson, chairman of . the United States shipping board, Sunday made a vigorous reply to complaints from the Pacific Coast concerning the new American merchant marine blllJ His answer was , made in a letter ad dressed to "W, T. Chrtstensen. com missioner of the port of Seattle. t The admiral said the intention jf the shipping board was to enforce all the provisions of the new ! law, despite ob jections which plainlyl have displeased him. he admits. J ? "I am forced to conclude that your plea is based upon concern for the business of foreign carriers, which you state carried over 25 per cent of the Oriental commerce with Puc'st Sound In 1918 and1 1919. and that you are appar ently not so deeply Interested in cooper-' atlng with the shipping' board In de veloping an American merchant marine, through the use of American shipping from your port,", Benson writes to Chrtstensen. . j ARC I" ..T ANSWERED ! . "There apparently has probably been added to your calculations the fact that unless American ships be substituted for foreign ships in the : carrying of the greater part of your Oriental commerce, the shipyards of Puget Sound which have given employment to many thou sands of workmen, bringing abundant prosperity to your community, must close their gates. Few, if any, i repairs to foreign shipping are made . in Amer ican yards, the benefits of which should be apparent to the merchants and other business Interests of Puget Sound. "The purpose of congress in enacting the merchant marine act of 1920' was to give American ships national advantage in our own trade with foreign coun tries. . j AM ERICA FIRST "It was not the purpose to aid foreign shipping in our trade ; quite the contrary, the act. is purely an American measure Intended to meet and j offset the count less determinations by other j nations against American shipping with which the shipping board's ships and private ly owned vessels of the United States have had to contend." Benson said the marine act av preference to American ships based on those given by rival countries to their own ships. j "Other nations hedge about their shipping operations with many special advantages secretly cr openly bestowed, one of the most effective being the use of the preferential rail; rates as applying only upon cargo carried in vtssels of their nationality. j GERMAN PRACTICE) j "Such was the practice of Germany, which carried 60 per cent of its exports and 50 per cent of its imports in Ger man ships. It was, and is. the practice of France. ti "Spain also is usin rates toi interior points in Japan and j is able to quote the same rates to interior points in Ja pan as other nations were able "to quote the seaports of the country. "Allowing a differential rate within the country is purely a domestic prerog ative. Kaeh nation may unqestionably determine for itself what rates may be and whether they shall be limited in ap plication to cargo carried in vessels of its nationals. . "Tour expressed fears that threats of foreign carriers to transfer their opera tions to Vancouver will be carried out are in direct contrast i to the opinions of British Columbia shipping interests."
