Mr.. Longworth's Attack Is

Representative Longworth of ONO IN

DENIES TRADE
CONTROL BY U, S.
Brainbridge Colby Says
Government Will Not
Retain Ships.

The United States government has
no plan for a permanent organization
covering the world for the purpose of
directing the operations of a govern
ment trade fleet
This was made clear in a statement
issued last night by Bainbridge Colby.
of the shipping Board, as the result
of inquiries coming to the board fol-
lowing the publication of a dispatch
from Paris quoting Chairman Edward
y. Hurley apparently to the contrary.
Instead of the government opeTat-
ing the American trade fleet, Mr.,
Colby made clear that it is the policy
of the board to release requisitioned
ships to their owners as rapidly as
the readjustment period will permit.
Mr.. Colby said in part:
"The dispatch from Paris. to the
effect that the Shipping Board has
decided to create u permanent world
organization for the purpose of
handling the governments trade
fleet, and to open offices in Lon
don, Paris Rome, Bombay. Shang-
hal, Yokohama, Buenos Aires, Rot
terdam. Antwerp, etc, gives an in
correct impression.
The period of such service is
drawing to a close, and the board
is very deSirOus of restoring
requisitioned tonnage to its rightful
owners at the earliest practicable
moment. The extent of our over
seas forces, and the problems of
transport and maintenance which
are peculiar to this country by rea-
son of the great distance from home
at-which our forces are operating,
made it difficult for us to keep
pace with the releases of requisi-
toned ships already made by our
European allies"
While the Colby announcement is
in line with the administrators
policy of setting business free" as
rapidly as possible. it does not go
into other phases of governmental
assistance of private enterprise in
extension of American foreign
trade.
