URGE COMP ANY TO
BOOST SHIPPING
Chamber of Commerce Com
mittee Proposes Develop
ment Body and Federal Su-
perviSing Board.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-The for
nation of a federal shipping board
and a marine development company,
the company to be capitalized at $780,
600, 600 and TO advance funds to buy
ers or builders of steamers and the
board to supervise shipping, are ad-
vocated in the report of the commit
tee on merchant marine submitted to-
day TO the meeting Of the Chamber of
Commerce Of the United States.
Your committee considers that
owing 10 the worlds shipping condi-
tons, government aid is absolutely
essential to upbuilding our merchant
marine and we recommend it be free
~ and adequately given" says the re-
port I'VE believe the proposed gov
eminent plan of purchase or con-
struction even, If operation is avoided
by chartering to private persons. is
wrong in principle and unwise if the
result sought can be secured by pri-
vate initiative supplemented by rea-
sonable government aid"
The report also recommends that
all ship lines, domestic or foreign, en-
gagged in foreign shipping take out
government licenses to operate and
that the law for carrying mail be
amended TO lower the speed of first
and second class steamers and to pro-
vide adequate compensation.
The committee on maintenance of
resale prices in its report decided
against price cutting and advocated
federal legislation to regulate the
practice. 1t said:
Your committee is convinced that
legislation permitting the main
tenance of resale prices under proper
restrictions on identified merchandise
for voluntary purposes and sold under
competitive conditions, would be to
the best interest of the producer the
distributor and of the purchaser, or
consumer"
An analysis of the new federal
trade commission and a forecast of
what it will accomplish in the bust
ness world was given by Joseph +.
Davies, retiring commissioner of cor
porations.

American business and of greater Sc
curity for the liberties of our people,"
said Mr.. Davies. Conditions of the
present and the freedom Of oppor-
tunities in the long future for our

VANCEBORO, Feb. 3-The do
minion authorities were busy today
building up case to support their
request for the extradition of Wer-
ner van Horn, who yesterday at
attempted the destruction Of the in
ternational bridge over the st. Croix
river. Before noon large party OF
secret service officers arrived here
from Montreal. Their business was
to establish that Van Horn had de-
liberately caused damage to rail-
road and had SO committed an
loffense which is extraditable under
the treaty between the United States
and Canada. AT the same time the
question whether van Horn was a
criminal or a political offender was
made the subject of exchanges be-
tween Ottawa and Washington. Van
Horn still claiming to be an officer of
the German aimy and to feel secure
in his position that lie had properly
committed an act or war and so could
not be extradited, awaited events
with composure. His only regret SO
far as expressed is that he succeeded
in damaging the bridge but slightly.
1t has been stated that he would
appeal to the German embassy at
WASHINGTON but so far as known he
has made no move in this direction.
No charge has been preferred against
him and he is detained only on the
authority of the attorney general OF
Maine until an inquiry into the facts
of his case canSbe made. 1t was eX-
planned that he could be held in
