AMERICAN BID FOR SHIPPING SUPREMACY.

NEW YORK, April 30.

A determined effort will be made in Congress to pass a bill to build up the American merchant fleet and to afford American owners an opportunity successfully to compete with the feet of other nations. The policy outlined in the Bill, as reported by a special sub-committee, discloses the intention of creating an all American merchant marine equal to carrying the greater part of the country's commerce. As an inducement to American business men to interest themselves in shipping it is proposed to exempt all steamship companies from excess profits tax for ten years. Direct discrimination against foreign vessels is contained in the proposal to permit the railways to charge less for the carriage of goods designed for export or import in ships of the American registry. Permission is also given to the President to abrogate commercial treaties standing in the way of imposing discriminatory customs duties. The United States shipping Board will be thoroughly reorganised and will be empowered to' promote and develop.ports and transportation

facilities.
