American Shipping Policy Need in Coming Congress
The piece urges Congress to boost American shipping and shipbuilding, oppose subsidies to Pennsylvania iron men, and repeal restrictive laws. It traces U S tonnage decline since 1861, notes Britain’s iron vessel growth, and argues for American bottoms to protect export trade and reduce reliance on foreign carriers. It calls for policy changes over duties, tariffs on shipbuilding materials, and return cargo restrictions.
