Eugene Tyler Chamberlain, the Commissioner of Navigation, believes that the Philippine bill before the Senate is discriminatory and not in accord with the Peace Commission at Paris. The bill imposes a tax on foreign vessels conducting inter-island trade, but excludes American and Spanish vessels. Commissioner Chamberlain believes that this is an opportunity to display “friendliness” toward Germany by giving them similar privileges.
