Are Employ injr' Unfair Methods USE GOVERNMENT COIN TO AID FOREIGNERS Nation Is Placed In Position of Using Its Money -To " Handicap Itself, (By Associated ..Press). -NEW YORK, . Nov. ' 2. Foreign competitnon aided . and abetted by Americans, was declared today by Ui S. -Senator Joseph E. Ransdell, Louisiana, in an address before the Advertisinpr Club of New York, to be one of the. "underlying, causes that'are crippling the development of -.tlieV American merchant marine." Nearly a score of American railroads, lie 'said, including some "of the -greatest systems, have filed with the In terstate Commerce Commission copies of contractsin which they agreed to use their best efforts to secure freight "for foreign shipping companies to the exclusive of others." Senator Randsell cited as examples contracts ; between - the Pennylvania system and a British corporation, be tween the Baltimore & Ohio R. R., and the North - German Llyod : line, and the Boston & Albany R. ,R., and the Cunard line. : "The most amazing aspect of the situation, however," said Senator Ransdell, "is that the railroads, sup plied with funds from the United States treasury, have been utlizing their resources to build up their busi ness, and swell the profits of foreign competitors of the government's shipping. In other words, the govern- ment. of the United Sta tes is placed in the position of using its money to foster competition with itself. If the American railroads are not prepared to give to the American merchant atnrine the same aid they extend to foreigner;,' steps should be taken to end these conditions."
