THE NEW SHIPPING BILL
KUIT for a federal lnereliant'nmriiie will be reojiened
in eonirress as soon as flu1 liolidav recess ends. Pri
vate shipping interests proved too strong for sueh a meas
ure at the last session, but the ensuing loss to shippers
from lack of foreign transportation facilities has been so
groat that inueh of the opposition i'rom commercial inter
ests has been changed into support of the modified meas
ures drafted by Secretary McAdoo.
Our Washington correspondent sends the following
summary of the principal provisions of the new bill:
Tho government to build In American shipyards.
The ships to be of the. oll-buruliig tpu of rlze ranging from .1000 to
10,000 tons displacement.
Tho tpe to be Htandardled h government experts so that tho vessels
shall be specially adapted to use as colliers and auxiliaries to the navy.
Ships to be built both In private and In government-owned ship-yards;
the latter anh to be additionally equipped to do the work.
Tho gooinnient to bae power lo sell, lease or buy ships.
Tho got eminent to act through a stock-Issuing corporation of whose
stock tlio government would hold at least 51 per cent.
The sum of fifty millions to be appropriated us a starter.
Itegulatioil of marine freight rates to he attempted through a commis
sion similar to tho Interstate. Commerce Commission.
Regulation of foreign ships doing business In American poitrf through
requiring foreign ships to secure a license before doing business horo.
The bill provides for tho opening up of semi-abandoned
government shipyards, many of Which are located on
waterways too shallow to float the huge men-of-war now
constructed Their utilization would be a boon to the local
ities affected. Private shipyards cannot decently object,
as all of them are contracted up to full capacity for years
to come.
The importance of oil as a fuel is dwelt upon and t.lu
prediction made that, seagoing transportation is to undergo
another revolution which may scrap the steamship fleet,
as the added space, speed and economy ol operation give
the fuel oil ship great advantages. The United States and
Mexico are the principal sources ol oil supply and the
United States could take its fuel from natural reserves
within the country's borders.
The navy needs fifty auxiliary ships. In war time they
would be used to transport coal and supplies. In peace
(hey could serve as the beginning of an American nier-
c.uaiu marine m nut jii untitling npiorcign commerce.
