SHIPPING INTERESTS TO
FIGHT SECRETARY TAFT
AMERICAN SHIP OWNERS ARE
AFTER THE PHILIPPINE
EXPORT TRADE.
Attempt to Hava Extension of the
Coastwise Shipping Laws Postponed
t o 1909 Meets With Strong Opposl-
t on—Claim Advanced That There
Are Enough American Vessels for
ths Present Trstfe.
Special to The Light.
Washington D. C.. Nov. 4.—A lively
fight between Secretary Taft and the
American shipping interests is in pros-
pect for tlv coming session of con-
gress After years of struggle for rec-
ognition the American abli-owpers
finally secured from congress an act
extending the coastwise shipping laws
to the Philippines. This was bitterly
contested by a combination of cordage
manufacturers who not content with
a rebate of 17. W per ton on hemp
which la charged as an exp<st duty
on al] hemp exported from the Philip-
pines to other countries the United
States alone being exempt maintained
they could not compete with foreign
manufacturers unless they were able
to Import their hemp In tramp steam-
ers operated under a foreign flag Sec-
retary Taft adopted their view of the
case and finally obtained a postpone-
ment of the date on which the law
should take effect from July 1. 1905
until July 1 1906. Now the plea is
advanced that American shipping will
not be available in sufficient tonnage
to handle the Philippine export trade
on July 1 of next year and therefore
the time should be extended from
July 1. 1906 to July 1 l»O9.
Alexander R. Smith of New York
formerly superintendent of the Mari-
time Exchange of that city and now
commissioner of the Merchant Marine
League of the UnluM States with
headquarters In Cleveland. Ohio is in
Washington and takes l«sue with Sec-
retary Taft Mu predicts that his ef-
forts to have the time extended will
be bitterly opposed by the maritime
interests of this country. Mr. Smith
has just returned from an extensive
trip through the New England states
and will make a tour of the south be-
fore congress opens in the interest of
Lis organization.
"American vessel owners” said Mr.
Smith "are keenly alive to the danger
to their Interests which is threatened
by Secretary of War Taft’s announced
intention to secure a postponement un-
til 1909 of the extension of our coast-
wise laws to the Philippines. Secre-
tary Taft.” continued Mr. Smith who
la an expert on American shipping af-
fairs. "claims that there are not
enough American vessels available to
do cur carrying to the Philippines.
Doubtless he believes this; neverthe-
less it is not so. as there are many
more vessels now available for that
carrying than there is business for
Item to do. Secretary Taft or any
other person who may seek the proof
of this assertion from the only source
that proof Is possible —American ves-
sel owners—ca i readily obtain it in
convincing abundance. But the trou-
ble Is Secretary Taft gets ills in-
formation fhrcugji sources that are
lostile to American shipping and he
believes It. All cf the foreign busi-
ness of the Philippines Is today con-
trolled by foreigners chiefly English-
men They hsve their sgencles their
banks their sbtps and every accessory
to trade and they are determine 1 to
hold It. They have ways of having
ibe matter so presented to the secre-
tary ’fast he believes what he is told.
American vessel owners are not In
bls confidence and have no way of get-
ting him to realize fact* as they ex-
ist But an American congress stands
between these hostile foreign influ-
ences and American vessel owners and
the latter are content to present their
facta before that tribunal and then
they will be glad to have those who
are Insidiously opposing them forced
Into the open v
"I personally know of American cor-
porations and individuals who are
i eady and eager to establish American
lines of to run from our
Atlantic ports to the Philippines. As
a matter of fact there is not enough
trade at present between the United
Plates and the Philippines to keep
even a single American line busy. But
these Americans who want to estab-
lish American lines in that rart e do
not consider so much the Immediate
trade as the future and greater trade
that will follow the establishment of
free trade between the United States
and those distant possessions the same
a. new exist between the United
States and all of Its other insular pos-
sessions. Such Unes would be power-
ful factors In bringing about free trade
between the Philippines and the Unit-
ed States a fact that Secretary Taft
seems to have quite overlooked. Ins
foreigners now have that carrying
and >hey want to keep IL It remain*
to be seen” he continued "whether
congress will leglslste for foreign or
for American ships In respect to our
Philippine trade. For my part I be-
lieve It will legislate for Americans.
"Secretary Taft Is also quoted as
saying that no new American vessel?
have been built for this trade since
the law was passed last year. But
who Is to blame for that? Not Ameri-
cans who are arxlous and ready to es-
tablish Unes to the Philippines nor
American shlphnllders most of w h‘>se
shipysrds are Idle. Secretary Taft
himself Is the cause of It. He has
ever since the law reserving our trsde
with the Philippines to American
r>els first psssel. three yesrs ago. per-
sistently advocated Its postponement
til! 1909 He har Rucieeded in having
It postponed o”ce and Is quoted a*
threatening to <o so again if he can
In the face of tltts threat are Ameri-
cans going to put millions al dollars
Into ships only to face a loss if Secre-
tary Tafi succeeds In his efforts?
What would have happened to a line of
American steamships built and ready
for our Philippine trade In 19C4? Its
owners would have been ruined. Sup-
pose a fleet should be built for that
trade now to be ready :n 1906 when
the law giving the trade to American
vessels goes Into effect? If Secretary
Taft succeeded tn having its applica-
tion postponed until 1909 thst Une
yould be ruined. Of course. American
capltsl in the face of such powerful
hostility as Sccietary Taft's combined
with the foreign shipping interests
who are scheming to hold the carry-
ing is afraid of the venture. The risk
Is too groat Why lam reliably told
that the New York agents and repre-
sentatives of the foreign shlpp ng in-
terasts now doing our Philippine carry-
ing. are freely brasging that they will
have the law's operation postponed In-
definitely and they openly taunt and
Jeer at American vessel owners who
believe the contrary. But all of this
will be properly disclosed as soon as
Secretary Taft or any one else Intro-
duces a bill providing for a further
i ostponoment.
"I reiterate.” he concluded "that
there Is an ample supply of American
vessels for the present trade and
plenty of American capital ready to
establish Unea as soon as Secretary
Taft's threatened continuance of oppo-
sition Is removed.”
