One allows the president to withhold ship privileges from nations that discriminate against American shippers and to fine military vessels to prevent departures from U. S. ports. Another creates power to cut fees for mail and other services to nations denying Americans commerce facilities, aimed at British interference. A Chamberlain amendment bans halibut and salmon imports from non American ports, targeting Canadian fisheries and pushing U.S. fishery development.
