HURLEY ANTSNO
NEW SHIP PLANTS
UNLESS LICENSED

Congress has been asked BY the
Shipping Board to tighten the grasp
OF the Government upon the country's
| shipbuilding industry by legislation
forbidding the building Of new plants
or the extension Of ole except under
licenses.
Chairman Hurley wrote to Chair
man Alexander Of the House Mer-
chant Marine Committee that the
legislation Is necessary TO prevent
interference with the boards building
program. Since the world need for
ships became acute, many yards have
been started By private persons, some
OF whom sought Government con
tracts and credit as soon as a begin
ming was made.
Prevent Speculation.
The board desired to prevent specu-
lation in shipbuilding and to stabilize
the supply OF labor and the market
for material. II also desired to obtain
greater control over the acceptance Of
contracts by domestic yards for
foreign account.
Shipbuilding facilities In the Unit
ed states are being Increased rapidly.
Mr.. Hurley drew a distinction be-
tween possible ultimate capacity and
expected output
Il have not predicted the tonnage
for 1919" he said, "for the simple
reason that such predictions fire.
quently give wrong impressions. Pre-
dictions depend on 80 many eontin.
gencies that they are frequently mis-
leading. The point have been max
ing is that we have available or I'M
der construction ISL ways for cargo
ships, and that II q speed OF three
ships a year can be obtained from
each shipway we will be able TO turn
out 13,51S.00O tons in q single year
after the peak Of production Il
reached
Special Task of sehwab.
81 do not regard It a. humanity
possible to turn out any such ton
mage in 1919. The facilities for such
tonnage are not yet available. when
we were turning out tonnage at the
rate OF less than one million tons .
year, the program we set for our
selves was 5000, 900. This year we
hope to build at least 5000, 900 tons,
which II more than three times the
output Of last year. but have set our
program up to 13,51s,000. When we
plan so large a tonnage, IL means
that We must Immediately plan to
enlarge our facilities, q task to which
Director General SchFab Is giving
his personal attention Nst the present
time"
The total tonnage built next year
doubtless will be held down to some
extent by the building OF a large
number OF transports. which require
at least eight months to complete. as
compared with four months or less
for cargo vessels.

Boris BakhmeteT, the Russian am
oaSSador. Informed the State Depart
ment yesterday that he had dismissed
Dr. g. '. LomonOssoff. head OF the
RUSSIAN railway mission to the United
states because OF a statement the
latter issued in New York Monday
opposing allied intervention in Russia
ana UNFOLDING the bolshevik govern
ment.
The ambassador gave notice that
ne is the only person in the United
states authorized 70 speak officially
ior Russia and said no one connected
win the embassy or under its juris-
oiction is at liberty to make political
statements OF any character whatever.
While Ambassador Bakhmetef is
not recognized by the bolshevik re-
gime, he is recognized by the Amer
lean State Department as the official
representative OF Russia in the United
states. Consequently his action de-
prives DR.. LomonossoI OF any official
status quite as effectively as though
there were no flaw in the relations
between the embassy and the powers
that be at home.
Both the ambassador and the rail-
way mission were accredited to the
United States by the provisional gov
eminent OF Kerensly Since the over
throw OF that government by the
bolsheviki there has been no change
In the attitude OF the State Depart
ment toward the embassy, which |
promptly repudiated the bolSheviki.
DR.. Lomonossoh aroused the Rus |
sian colony in New York Monday by |
his statement, and Tuesday night he
addressed a mass meeting held to pro- I
test against allied intervention and |
to urge recognition OF the bolsheYiR |
BoYiets.
