STATE MANAGEMENT
OF SHIPPING FAILS,
SHIP OWNERS CLAIM
Annual Report of English Associa-
tion Declares That Measures
Taken by Government SO Far
Have Proved Insufficient.


~ Associated Press.
Liverpool, March 1.-THE ANIMAL
report OF the Liverpool Steamship
Owners association. which includes
practically all the important ship
owners ia England. emphasizes the
seriousness Of the shipping situation.
and declares ~squareIy that all the
measures thus far taken By the gov
eminent are insufficient. The report
insists that state management Of
chipping has failed and must fail. and
expresses the opinion that only the
most radical curtailment Of imports
and a similar ralicai Limitation Of the
amount Of tonnage us4d for military
purposes can save the nation from the
most serious shortages Of food and
vital raw materials.
Commenting on the appointment OF
a shipping minister as a member OF
the Lloyd George cabinet. the report
says; The association welcomes the
appointment OF a minister charged
with the duty OF seeing that the mer-
camille marine Is used 20 the best ad-
vantage OF the nation. and IL will
render every assistance in It's power

1T Is no reflection on the officials
Of the state hat they have been I'M

possible one. They have obtained and
welcomed the advice and assistance OF

Under average conditions c ship
spends half her time in port loading

The avoidance Of undue waste In these
operations Is NJ the root Of the effec.
tive use OF all ship carrying power. To
secure this the energy and enterprise
OF the s%hipowners and their STATS a.
home and abroad are taxed IN the
utmost. There is only one British
steamship company that has under its
control more than 100 vessels. and
among the big British lines the aver
8 number OF vessels under a single
management Is about twenty. With
this form OF management the ship
owner Is kept in the closest possible

age. and also with the requirements OF
