SHIPPING LAWS EXTENSION IN PROSPECT, oflD Philippine Trade to Be| Affected If Plan Is- Given Okeh. 1 ‘WASHINGTO: Dec. 26.—Presi-| dent Coolidge has taken up the ques- tion of extending the coastwise ship- ping laws to the Philippines, and to- day asked Chairman Jones of the Senate commerce committee to sub- mit a memorandum setting forth his recommendations, Besides his conference with Senat- or Jones, who drafted the major pro- vision of the merefant marine act of 1920, the president conferred to- day with Chauncey G. Parker, gen- eral counsel of the shipping board. The merchant marine act provides that the coastwise laws may be ex tended to the Philippines by presi- dential proclamation whenever ade- quate American shipping facilities fre available for the trade. In the event of such an extension, only American vessels could engage in trade between the Philippines and the United States. Senator Jones believes that facll!- tles now are adequate for such an ex- tension, and this view also is taken by the shipping board. The pro- posal was considered by the Harding administration and was rejected on the ground that such an extension might violate some of the treaties to which the United States is a party. Mr. Coolldge several weeks ago in- dicated that he might take the same position pointing to a memorandum sent to the White House by the state department opposing extension. Since | then {t has developed that the state department has formulated no opin- fon on the question and that the memorandum which tt forwarded to the White House was prepared by Vice Chairman Culbertson, of the tariff commission. Shipping men for several years have held that the shutting of the Philippine trade to vessels carrying foreign flags would be a powerful impetus in the upbuilding of an American merchant marine in the Pacific and the president, it is under. stood has approached consideration of the matter from that angle. | ——— | PERFORM AT AMERICA | | An added attraction will be given | at the America theater Fr urday, Sunday and Mond Brownlee’s Hickville Follie: comedy musical novelty seven persons rendering played on the farm.

The dirigitie Shenandoah, with special equipment an¢ certain changes to meet conditions, 1s to undertake the main part of the “exploration of the north polar re- giona,” which the board found could be attempted next summer.
