"A movement has 'been begun in
San Francisco for the enactment
of legislation allowing forelgn-ibuilt
vessels to come under American
registry and enter the coastwise
tra.'e. Such legislation might bring
about a condition that would drive
our American-tbullt ships off the
sea. Ail our vessels were built
in tae United States and therefore
coet much more than, the foreign
built boats of the same type and
class. They have to earn & much
greater return than the foreignnbuilt
boats to Day interest on the Invest
ment The latter, accordingly,
could undercut the American, ves
