THE GALVESTON DAILY NEWS. TUESDAY, DECEMBER 14 1920. NINJ 1919-20 VOLUME EXCEEDS PERVIOUS RECORD BY NEARLY THREE BILLION. By Associated Press. Washington" Dec.

one half of the nation's record-breaking overseas commerce In the past fiscal -year carries In American ships. Secretary Alexander shows In his annual report, made public today. The overseas trade reached the unprecedented total and $5.071,905.000 of It was carried In American-owned vessels, -as ugalnst $368.359.008 carried In American bottoms the year before the war. The total volume of Imports ana exports by land -and sea was $13.349,661.000, nearly above above the previous record established In the fiscal year ended June 30. 1919.

Imports for the last year amounted to $5,233.621.000. as compared with lor the previous year and almost $3.000,000.000 ior the fiscal -year of 1918. The value of exports for the last fiscal year aggregated $7.950.425.000. an increase of approximately 5300.000.000 over the previous year and $2.000.000:000 over 1918. Mr.

Alexander, also shows that during the last ffscal year the American merchant fleet was Increased by 670 vessels Of 3.416.000 gross tons and that on last June 30 American shipping- comprised 28.183 vessels of gross tons. This compared with 7.92S.6SS in 1914. Growth In Foreign Trade. "Growth of American shipping has been wholly in the foreign trade." the secretary said, "much more than half of that growth having: taken place since the armistice of Nov. 11, 1918, and ihe Increase of the past fiscal year being double that of any year before the armistice.

This increase in tonnage would mean little unless it stood also for an increase in trade." Quoting: from the bureau's statistics' showing an increase of about 15,000.000 net tons cleared by American sh'ips In 1920 as against. 1914 the secretary "In a word, while our gross tonnage registered for foreign trade is tenfold wKat It was In 1914, It has supplied In employment in overseas trade fourteen times the American cargo and passenger space available in the shorter voyages to foreign ports In North America, requiring fewer and usually smaUervshlps. the increase--and the demand--has not been so great." In connection with' the growth of American shipplrfg and foreign trade. Mr. Alexander discussed the advisability charging off "to the winning of the of the war cost of the government owned ships to enable compete with foreign on the basis of actual value of the properties.

He advocated this course on the belief that only through such action could, the ships, built under maritime stress and at maritime costs continue to. meet the overhead expenses of maintenance and opcra- tte, tttlUztsz cl eta crest sourcee. all this would be waeied If vessels could not reach and eater aer ports or visit the railroad terminals, canneries and nearest ports ai outlets to the many mlces." Reviewing tKe worlc ol the etcam- boat inspection service. Mr. Alexander disclosed that during the year nearly 9.000.000 passengers were carried on ships ior each.pas- asager )tst.

"Washington, Dec. amendment making a -change In the section of the resolution relating to the federal reserve system was proposed by Senator -Norrls. republican, of Nebraska and was accepted by a vqte of 47 to 16. Another change made in the reso-. lutlon on suggestions of Senator Smith, democrat, of Georgia, broadened the duties of the finance corporation to Include the financing of exportation of troduct'a "other than those produced on the farm.

Amendments submitted by Senator Harris, democrat, of Georgia, to make the rate of discount on loans to farmers per cent, and by Senator McKellar, democrat of Tennessee, to make cotton paper eligible for discount, -were rejected by overwhelming votes. A substitute for the resolution presented by Senator Spencer, republican, of Missouri, met a similar fate. Final action on the resolution was a record vote. The measure now goes to the house, where a number of farmer relief measures -are pending.

"The value of the ships owned by the government must be reduced to their actual value for competitive purposes at'the present time and the difference between the value and the first cost should be ifh.irBfld to the winning of the war.

The interest on that difference, the" corresponding contribution to the sinking fund and the corresponding allowance for de prcclation be treated as war losses, and this surely Is preferable to a continued failure to make annual payments on tho account of the merchant marine to interest, sinking fhnd and depreciation."

Discussion of a German government guarantee as additional ollateral through deposit of bonds, otherwise, developed that the general feeling in the industry was against any government guarantee rhich would enable the German gov- rnment to obtain- any sort of cori- rol over the Industry. It was found that the mills are willing to make leferred payments In American cur- eccy.
