WILL INVESTIGATE
SHIPPING SITUATION
Senate This Afternoon Adopts
Resolution of Senator
Harding of Ohio

Washington, Dec. 1S.-The senate this
afternoon adopted Senator Harding IS
resolution for investigation of the ship
ping situation. Senator Fletcher, chair
man of the commerce committee, an
nounced the investigation would begin
at once.
The shipping tangle was brought be-
fore congress when Senator Harding,
Ohio, demanded a congressional inves-
tigatiOn of the whole situation.
'It is crime that entanglements of
red tape and inefficiency should be al
lowed to interfere with our shipbuild-
ing program" Harding declared.
''Winning of the war depends on
ships. l think it IS time congress went
into the whole situation to find out
why we can t get a merchant marine
to fit our needs. 1 think an efficient
shipping board could give us such
merchant marine.
"We have appropriated billions,
said Harding, "but instead of getting
ships, we have seen the passing of
Goethals, Denman, Capps and now Har-
ris.
81 am deeply impressed with the fail
ure of the shipping board to measure
up to this great emergency.
''The winning of the war depends on
our strength on the sea. We must have
an adequate merchant marine. What s
the use of raising and equipping great
army if we can't supply them?"
otis a crime that the money placed
at the disDosal of the shipping board
should have been lily handled; that
all efficiency should have been lost in
interminable red tape.
cit will add materially to the mo-
rale of the people and the army If
thew knew there is strength and eff
cheney in this body.
''There may be something more than
red tape behind the present situation,
and | should like an investigation or
dered before the holidays.
Harding first suggested the com
merce committee bring in an investl-
cation resolution. Senator Fletcher,
chairman, did not adopt the sugges-
ton, whereupon Harding introduced
resolution.
can [ want to know" said he, is
why, when we provide money for ships
we don I. get ships.
I've talked with three men who
have been connected with the shipping
board and all have told me their hands
were tied"
Senator John Sharp Williams said
the investigation would be wise.
'Let these honest, patriotic men tell
the country how their hands have been
