S. Shipping in North Atlantic Than Any Legislation Ever Enacted. (By The Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, April 11. Provis ions of the Administration 's ship sub sidy bill allotting to steamship lines of American registry 50 per cent of the al ien immigrant traffic coming to this eountry, will do more to build up the United States merchant marine in the north Atlantic than any legislation ever enacted by Congress, Senate and House committees considering the measure were told today by T. H. Rossbottom, general manager of the United States lines. "The wonderful development of for eign steamship lines and enormous prof its made by them during the past 25 years," he said, "have been due prin cipally to their full participation in this alien immigrant traffic. Without this .traffie that has been paid for, and is being paid for, by moneys earned in tho United States, the important for eign steamship companies could not have prospered and developed as they have. Usually handled in the steerage aii.l in third class, this u the best paying of all traffic handled, and is principal ly responsible for the enormous revenue that has been used for the construction of new steamers, and the payment of large dividends. " Curtailment or immigration, under the present restrictive act, in Mr. Rosshot tom's opinion, is ''an additional rea son for insuring that our passenger ves sels enjoy their rightful share of this traffic." Estimating that annual ad missions would approximate 2L,ii,(X). the committee were told that such a traffic would give transportation companies a gross income of 1il7,riKl,(iOil per year. If American companies were guaran teed half of this business their income would be tH.HOO.OOO sufficient, Mr. Itossliottom contended, to give profita ble occupation to not le -s than 2t good sized ships on the North Atlantic.
