In the opinion OF senator William

bent upon them to get all possible in
tormat ton from every person who can
enlighten the committee.
That the facts already disclosed
point out inadequacy in marine regu-
lation, they are convinced, and that
the whole story when told will form the I
basis for new maritime laws and lead
to international conferences entirely /
revising ocean steamship transporta-
ton, they DO not doubt.
