necessities of life, as they are the
buyers of these necessities.* When
this power is applied in a concentrated

MERCHANT MARINE PROBLEM
DEMANDS CAKLY ACTION
Washington, Dec. 28.?Now that |
there is no longer any question as to .
the return of the railroads of the
country to private operation at an
early date, the Washington Government
is faced with the necessity of
prompt action with reference to the
American mercnant marine.
The Government now owns about
twenty-five hundred merchant vessels?approximately
eight million
tons?thin* huge fleet having been
built or otherwise acquired during
the war, and the question as to what
is to be done with these vessels must
soon be solved.
While the final action of the Government
regarding the railroads was
still in doubt there was much talk of
permanent public operation of the
American merchant marine as well
as the railroads, but now it is generally
felt that the plan is not only absurd
but impracticable and the fact
is recognizd that these governmentowned
ships should be disposed of to
private parties. Of course it is desirable
that they shall go into the hands
of Americans and be operated permanently
as a great American merchant
marine, but the preparation, enactment,
and enforcement of legislation
which Will accomplish this purpose is
admittedly, a very difficult task and
will call forr moist careful and conscientious
work on the part of Congress.
Concerning .this matter Senator
Wesley Jones, of Washington, Chairman
of the Senate Commerce Committee,
yesterday made the following
statement:
"We may differ about government
ownership, but that can be no issue
here. The government owns these
ships whether we will or not. They
cannot be given away. The people
will not stand for that. We must not
allow private parties to take the
cream of this shipping ; and let the
government hold the balance to be
disposed of at a great sacrifice. Grant
that government ownership should
end as soon as may be, it maist be
brought about as nearly as may be
without unnecessary sacrifice. FurTax

Ihermore, the government is interest-, r
ed in the future success of shipping
and the maintenance of a permanent
fleet. -
"We have a United States Shipping'
Board acting in a dual capacity. It<
was intended to be a groat govern-!
mental regulatory agency . and is, in;
fact, doing the 'work of a great cor
poration. It cannot well serve both;
ends.- I do not promise in my bills
to destroy the Shipping Board, but I:
propose to divorce it entirely from
building and operating ships. J propose
to establish a corporation separate
and independent to operate, .
maintain and dispose of our ships in
such a way as to give us an adequate
merchant marine on a permanent !
basis; We n6ed an agency that can i
act promptly."

PRKSIDJvVT SIGNS T3DGK BILL.
Washington, Dec. 26.?Yesterday
the President signed the Fdge bill, j
which authorizes the crea Jon of a j
corporation for the purpose of finan-j.'
cing American export, trade. The ,
bill was passed Just before Congress :]
recessed for the holidays. It provides
for the federal incorporation of ;
one or more concerns to handle the
composite commercial and financial
business of the American export trade- 1
The new corporation will not only be
able to exercise ordinary banking J
functions but may advance cash to i
foreign purchasers of American ex- 1
ports on such security as foreign <
manufacturing plants of suitable col- "
lateral. Eyery step of such transac- 1
tions would be under the supervision j
of the Federal Reserve Board.
It is rumored that, under the pro- (
visions of this act, a giant corpora- '
tion, with a capital of hundreds of
millions of dollars, will be organized
for the purpose of brining about a rehabilitation
of -Europe with the pro- j
ducts of American mines, factories. I
and mills. K
