Senate Debates over Shipbuilding Bill and River Harbor Action
The Senate reported the House shipbuilding bill with two ships admitted to American registry City of New York and City of Paris from Inman line would not enter coastwise trade and could be used by the government in war. Debate centered on postal subsidy implications with opponents doubtful the bill grants such subsidies. The House river and harbor bill faced reconsideration votes and stalled as amendments failed.
