Call to repeal foreign registry and revive American shipbuilding
The author argues that fees paid to foreigners transporting American passengers and goods should be redirected to American hands. Shipbuilding must be revived by profitable ship employment, and American sailors restored as citizens who protect national interests. The old law denying American registry to abroad built ships owned by Americans is a relic and should be promptly repealed.
