United Slafes Senate. My Dear Senator: It is the undoubted desire of Congi'ess to legislate in whatever manner will insure the success of the United States merchant marine. It is the expressed fear of American operators and the boast of foreign operators that with a return to normal conditions, the American fleet will be tied up in ports unable, by reason of its greater initial cost and its greater operating cost, inch. Sive of labor, to compete with the vessels of other flags. Other nations ha...ve, by direct subsidy, guaranteed the operation of their fleets in world competition. We believe it unnecessary for the United States to adopt a like policy. If we can confine to vessels of the United States an existing advantage now guaranteed by United States statutes to vessels of all nations, it will be entirely pos- sible for our fleet, notAvithstanding the handicaps of labor or of capital investment, to permanently sail the seas with the commerce of the United States. By legislating to that end, we but follow policies which adopted by other nations guaranteed their success in the carrying of their own commerce.
