Memorandum from William S. Cowles to Victor Howard Metcalf
William S. Cowles sends Secretary of the Navy Newberry comments on two letters from the Merchant Marine League. The League maintains that by chartering foreign vessels to transport coal to ports on the Pacific Coast, the United States has damaged merchant shipping without appreciating the true effect such an action has. Cowles relays the details and allegations the League submits for consideration.
