S. Mari- time Commission, and from now on will fly the flag of the Republic of Panama. This move follows an- nouncement of the Neutrality Act and desire of owners to get into foreign registry so that war materials can be carried to belligerent nations. Other ships will probably change registry. Authorities called attention to the fact that 85% of ship- Ping between New York and London was by U. S, ships. Entering the picture today was Japan, with the an- nouncement that she would institute New York-London service soon. If the move to foreign registry continues, thousands of American seamen, will be out of jobs.
