IX JAPAN’S HANDS
Attributed To The La Toilette
Seaman's Bill
(From Leslie’s Weekly)
There never has been a time in
i the history of the United States
| when a national merchant marine
i ’>w«s so much needed as now, and
! just at this time comes the with
drawal of the fleet of the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company from the
Far Eastern trade. Due to the La
Follette Seaman’s Bill it has been
| found impossible to operate these
vessels except at a great loss, and
the directors of the company declB
ed to sell all of their ships. All
employees of the company in this
country and abroad have been dis
missed, the offices have been closed,
and the warehouses on the Pacific
Coast and in the Orient sold or
leased fof long periods, while the
docks and other waterfront privil
eges have been disposed of.
When we stop to consider that
this was the only first-class Ameri
can steamship line trading between
the United States and Asia and that
. its great business, built up after
j long years of service and experience
and at an enormous expense, has
been so ruthlssly and thoughtlessly
destroyed by act of Congress, we
are appalled, yet every importer
and exporter and merchant marine
expert predicted this very result
i when the law was under consider
j ation, but the United States govem
! ment turned a deaf ear.
What has been the consequence?
We, a manufacturing nation, re
quiring more than ever before in our
economic history these profitable
foreign markets', have practically
abandoned them, and what is much
worse, played right into the hands
of our principal competitors in the
Far East—the Japanese.
Japan On The Alert
Have they taken advantage of
the situation? Most assuredly!
How? They have given employ
ment to many of the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company's officers and
men, in order to retain the good will
of the more important shippers and
to stand in with the local politicians
who have the granting of municipal
privileges. Furthermore, they have
leased or bought outright the com
pany’s docks, warehouses, drydocks
waterfront rights and other neces
sary rights and other necessary
equipment
On top of all this, and as an an
ticipatory move to prevent any
American concern from entering in
to competition with them, the Im
perial Japanese Diet has just pass
ed a law subsidizing for four years
all Japanese vessels running to the
Pacific coast of the country.
Discrimination Charged
Nor is the worst feature of the
disastrous situation which confronts
us. The Japanese are already dis
criminating in freight rates and the
transportation of goods for the
benefit of their nationals. Docks
and terminals have been accumul
ating goods for shipment, both to
and from the Orient, while only
those shipped by or intended for
Japanese merchants, or the Japan
ese manufacture have been loaded.
Freight offered from or for Chinese
ports has been flatlv refused. Jap
an wants all of China’s trade and
this affords her a means of ac
complishing her long-cherished hope.
Conditions on the West Co. r*
this country are equally bad
large amounts of war materials .
other commodities intended for Ru
sia and Serbia, and long overdue i>;
those countries, going by way • '
Manchuria, have not yet found ac
commodations on the Japanese-own
ed ships. The loss to American man
ufacturers alone on this one item
runs into millions. These goods are
shipped with bills of lading attach
ed, payment to be made on delivery
on board the ship. Being unable to
put the consignments on board the
ship, means that the goods will
not be paid for, and that they will
indefinitely on the dock accumulat
ing storage charges, and may at
last be thrown back on the manufac
turer’s hatids through the cancel
lation of the orders.
The State Department, the De
partment of Commerce and the
Trasury Department, as well as the
President personally, have been ap
pealed to and beseiged with peti
tions, letters, telegrams, cables, and
personal* visits from shippers inter
ested, but no redress is promised and
all mention of the flood of protest
is rigorously suppressed.
The Japanese steamship combi
nation, aided by the Government,
have the entire United States in
the hollow of their hand, as far as
Asiatic trade is concerned. It will
not accept American, or for that
matter some European, cargoes for
Hong Kong, any part of China, the
Philipines, India or any of the East
Indies, but will only take to Japan
goods intended for Japanese mark
ets. Neither will they consider
freight from any ports in the above
named countries, to this country, un
less excessive rates are paid, which
materially decreases profits. In
other words they are forcing upon
us and the countries named herein
Japanese goods, and making Japan
a re-exporting country.
