1 . WASHINGTON, Bee. 3 Preferen
I tlal. tariffs or a subsidy remain tho
I otoly methods of Insuring maintenance)
! of on American merchant marine, tho
I shipping board declared today In it
j unnual report to congress. Elimina
tion of discriminatory legislation as
a means of Indirect aid, tho board
held, "Would seem to" leave as tlio
sole way out the assumption' by tho
government of the excess cost of opei
rtatlon." ' ..
"This in turn can be accomplished;
by cither of two methods," continued
the report. "First by subventions tj
American vessels whllo engaged In,
carrying cargoes to and from tha
United States sufficient to cnabld
them to compete with foreign ships! ;
or second, by the complete assumption,
by the taxpayers of tho entire cost of
operation,' the resulting loss being tho;
country's contribution towurd a na-'
tlonal merchant marine. -'" I
From tho standpoint of efficiency
i and economy there can bo no choice: i
I'rivate operation, personal' responsi-!
Blllty and Individual' initiative would
require a relatively slight assistance
.to be placed upon a competitive basis
with 'foreign ship tnvners. On tho
mother hand, operation by tho govern
ment with its system of checks und
" balances hns obvious and sorious dis
advantages." The report listed these four factors
as operating to the disadvantage of
American shipowners:
Tho high Btandard of living In th'o
United States, with consequent effect
. on labor costs, which would make
"nn American built ship represent ar
Investment 25 per cent grcator than a
similar vessel ' constructed on tho
Clyde." (
High wngo scales on Amorlcan
ships "amounting on an ordinary,
cargo steamer to approximately $10,rj
000 a year" more than tho wages on
a slmllni foreign ship. j
The difficulty of raising cnpltnl In ,
the United States for strictly maritime j
enterprises, as contrasted -with cer-.
tain foreign countries where this field
Is a popular one for Investors. "(
-The advantage held by foreign lines
through Iqjig careers In the business, j
"Some of these handicaps may dls-
appear In time," the report continued. !
"The most serious; however, aro those
due to restrictions which are imposed '
upon our ships by our laws for tho .
general good of the country as a j
whole. ' For example our laws require-
that only citizens of tho United States
shall bo licensed as officers. Because j
of this they receive and aro not be
grudged a wage nearly twlco that
which foreign officers enjoy. : I
"Wo can not cavall at tho wisdom of
such requirements but the
unwisdom of expecting privato capi
tal to bear for tho national welfaro.a.
greater charge than would bo Imposed
under a foreign flag Is shown by thej
pre-war situation. '
"Obviously If the country is to im
pose a financial burden upon Its shlp-J
ping, It must, In order to obtain suc.lv
.shipping, bo willing to bear from the.'
national treasury the higher costs
. which such Impositions bring."
