Before the war an American vessel on the River Plate waa a curiosity. Since the shipping board has no offices of its own to take charge of Its vessels In ports throughout the world," continued Captain Carden, it waa usually necessary to entrust ths care of Ha ships. to established agencies. Many of these steamship agents had already for years been the representatives of foreign and possibly competing lines. The result hs been that In many cases American vessels have been held back while other ships were given the preference, causing the expenses of American ships to mount up through port charges and lost time. "In all River Plate ports, losses from this source hove been very great aa well as those through for supplies, repairs and ao forth. There is one case on record where an American ship was held up for months for repairs and charges totaling about $200,000 were piled up against her. But we are seeing to It now that shipping board vessels get into port and get away again without unnecessary delay. The saving to the Shipping board Yrom this attention undoubtedly will be several hundred thousand dollars annually. Agents who have the interests of other WrtftntnHttas more--a- t heart than American are coming to learn that they are not entitled, to more than a legitimate profit from American vessels and must handle them efficiently If they want American buiiness." t Captain Carden and his assistant. Captain Farwell. are officers of the United States Coast Guard, detailed on shipping board service.
