The New York Board of Trade and Transportation appeals for broad discussion on rehabilitating the U S merchant marine. It urges Congress to act to fix a decline since 1810 when the U S led ocean trade. Tonnage fell from 981 000 in 1810 to 873 000 in 1903 and foreign freights total 100000090 yearly. American share of ocean trade dropped from 91 5 to 88 percent. Much freight goes to British vessels under wartime guarantees.
