Newton, off Greens If several weeks
ago, at which time the crew of seven
men was drowned. will be Interested
in the article relating to shipping in
the United States. it is written by
Fields S, Pcndieion one of the owners
'of the Newton, who was in South Nor
walk for several days following the lic-
cidont to the vessel. The article first
appeared in "The Journal of Commerce
and Commercial Bulletin," and is as
follows; .
i have been reading the correspond
once of A. it. Smith. "Main Topsail
Haul " "New Englander" and others
In your paper. and have been deeply in
teresied. Like “Main Topsail Harri,"
i too am interested in American ves
sols man of which sail foreign in
wlrlch irate l am compelled to meet
the competition of foreign vessels
. High Costvof Building and Running
. American Vessels.
. Because of the lower cost of build
lug vessels abroad. and the lower cost
of running them with foreigners. i find
that with my vessels, built. in American
shipyards. commanded and oiliccrcd
with Americans, and the crews com-
posed of a substantial proportions of
. Americans. and victualina those voo-
scls according to the elaborate and
expensive food scale fixed by the stat
utes of the United Stwnies it is difll
chit for me to earn a fair profit 1 keep
right on, however because i have been
brought. up in the shipbuilding and
shipowninrt business and know little
, or nothing of anything else Only by
running my vessels witirottt insurance
practicing the strictest economy, be
ing alert to get charters and to keep
my vessels employed, um i able to earn
a. profit.
Foreign Ships Earn Larger Profit.
i see. that the foreign commerce of
the United States grows with marvel
ions rapidity. and cannot. help feeling
humiliated to find American vessels in
that trade steadily decrease in turm-
iicr. and in tonnage. i know that l
co'rrid. if i wished. buy foreignebuiit
vessels as cheaply as my rivals do, and
by employing foreigners to command
officer and man them unhampered by
our high- -ioned American food scale. I
could rrrn them as cheaply as my rivals
do. But it is not the building of for
eign ships and the employment of for-
eigners ‘to run them that is an attrac-
Ilvc proposition to me. .
Prefers American Vessels and Officers.
i prefer to earn less and corriinuc to
build my vessels in the United States
and employ Americans to run tircmw
iIeimonico food scale and all. Per-
haps it is sentiment that makes-me
fuel as i do about this; perhaps it is
regard for my country and its people.
Call it- what you will, sentiment does
exercise a great influence over my bus.
Incas i take no particular pride to
myself because i feel and act as i do.
i meet doséns .of other Americans ev-
cry day who own American vessels
just. as I do who employ Atncritan
shipmasters, editors and seamen to
run them who rcniizc as i do that
we could make. more money if we would
