WORLD TONNAGE CONTROL
|. IS TOPIC AT CONFERENCE
Shipping Board and Member of Brit
ish Mission Discuss Plan for U. S.
Joining Charter Union.

Central control of the worlds tom
mage, with sharp reductions in ocean
freight rates. was discussed Al a con-
ference today between the shipping
board and Thomas Royden Of the Brit
sh mission
The British propose. ii is understood
that tire American government enter
the interallied chartering conference
and that neutral tonnage be forced in
by operation of a joint allied bunker
ing arrangement and by exercise Of the
allies control over their exports.
This is under careful consideration by
the board and probably Will be adopted
If the plan does not mean surrendering
this governments fun direction Of its
own shipping.
Previous Proposal Dropped.
A previous proposal. under which this
government would have become a
member of the conference, was drop
ped when il was discovered that Ameri-
can ships caught on the other side OF
the Atlantic without coal would have
been subject to British regulations
which might have forced them into the
British carrying trade. Before the
United States entered the war many
American vessels which had to coal il
British ports We're compelled to carry
British cargoes.
The interallied conference now di-
reefs the operation of all British
freight rate that may be charged. The
United States government will get con-
troll of rates charged by American yes
sells when it requisitions American ton
mage now on the seas. Requisitionins
will begin as soon as a definite program
is agreed on.
The board later conferred with An
drew Tardieu of the French mission
The French are finding difficulty in OBJ
tanning ships to transport supplies they
have bought in this country and have
asked the board to increase the amount
of tonnage allotted to them
To Commander American Tonnage.
American tonnage now on the seas
will be Communicated by the shipping
board. it is believed, as soon as an OPP
a practical shipping man found to head
it. The board has the names OF several
men under consideration.
The board deems it unwise. it was
said today. to take over for operation
any ships until a definite plan is
formed and until it has an organiza ton
to handle the vessels.
Two plans are before the board. One
calls for government operation of all
ships requisitioned and the other for a
system of communicating charters. I'm
der the latter plan the vessels would
era tion under direction of the boards
operating department. The latter plan
probably win be adopted.
The present intention is to form the
new department under the fleet corpora
ton. it's direct members to be Rear Ad-
poraton. and two or more members OF
the shipping board. The shipping man
to be put at the head of the department
would answer to them.

SHOWS WHERE BURDEN is

In opening Senate debate on the

tor Simmons, chairman of the finance
committee. declared the committee s
purpose in revising the House bill was
TO raise sufficient federal revenue for
extra war expenses without injustice
to rich or poor. individual or corpora
ton. and without injuring sources from
which the new and future taxes must
come.
The bill. said Senator simmons pro.
poses to raise a larger proportion OF
war revenues by direct taxation ana
less ny bonds. distributing the war
burden between the present and III
ture generations. He pointed out that
nearly s1.4Uo. 100000 of the new war
taxes are to be obtained from incomes
and war profits alone, with over S20o.-
900. 900 more from intoxicants.
before the war" continued Senator
simmons. our total expenditures were
between 500. 100000 and SSoo,U0o,ooo,
exclusive of postal costs.
ut is evident that the expenditures
during this fiscal year Will reach some
thing like ten billion dollars.

Chief Sources OF Revenue.

These conditions suggest incomes and
war profits at the chief and just source
of revenue TO defray the expenses or
the war. Apparently the House did not
take this view.
