"First Vice President.
'To the Hon. William C. Lovering,
"Somerset Club, Boston; Mass."
Lovering to Gayley
"Boston, Mass., Oct. 23, 1903.
"James Gayley, Esq., Firse Vice Pres
ident United States Steel Corpora
tion, 71 .Broadway, New York City.
"Dear Sir: I am in receipt of
your letter of the 7th inst, in which
you set forth the objections of the
United States Steel corporation to
the proposed object to liberalize
the customs drawback law, which I
have' carefully read.
"The chief objection is thus stated
in the last paragraph of your letter:
" 'This bill is unquestionably in the
interest of manufacturing concerns
who desire to use cheaper foreign in
stead of domestic material for as
large a portion of their output as
possible, and it would facilitate the
use of foreign steel in the construc
tion of American vessels, not only
those built to engage exclusively in
the foreign trade, but also those en
gaged for a certain portion of the
year in the coastwise trade of the
United States. We are unable, there
fore, to see wherein the enactment
of this bill into a law would be of
advantage to us.'
"It is my opinion that, had you
ihade a careful study of the. draw
back bill which I Introduced in the
last congress, you would not have
based your objection on the second
section, which merely aims to restore
to domestic manufacturers and ship
builders a privilege which was grant
ed by congress in 1884 and remained
a feature of our tariff system from
that year up to the enactment of the
Dingley law. The seventeenth sec
tion of the act of June 26, 1884, to
which I refer, reads as follows:
"'When a vessel is" built in the
United States for forefgn account,
wholly or partly of foreign materials
on wnicn import duties have been
paid, there shall be allowed on such
vessel, when" exported, a drawback
equal in amount to the duty paid on
such materials, to be ascertained un
der such regulations .as may be pre
scribed by the secretary of the
treasury.'
foreign account and ownership shall
not be allowed to engage in the coast
wise trade of the United States.'
"Here we have a law providing for
tue jtree aamission or all kinds
finished material to be used in
construction ana equipment of
