:r s ...... a
RAPS COAST FOES
OF MARINE BILL
-- (By United News) . !
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."

Baker. Aug. 9. Judge Gustav Andert
son Saturday handed down his opinions
in the Whited-Haskins case involving
the irrigation waters of the south fork
of Burnt river, which has been before

owners of the Tiger ditch and that the
defendants have a perpetual right to use
the ditch for conducting Water from the
Pole creek ditch for irrigation of a strip
of land lying west of the old Lyman
Powell ditch, but not for lands east of

insufficient the Tiger ditch may be used
for conducting water from the south

not used under prior right for irrigat
ing the same strip of land.
