COLBY DECLARES U
Is NOT TAKING ISSUE WITH "
CHAIRMAN HURLEY.
Requtsitiored Tonnage to Be Restored
to Rightful Owners
Soon.

WASHINGTON, Dec. a7.-BainbridCI
Colby, a member OF the shipping boar
issued a statement tonight. saying thai
dispatches from Paris 10 the effect that
the chipping board had decided I'd
create a permanent world organization
for the purpose OF handling the Sov-
crnmcnt's trade fleet gaze IAN incorrect
impression e
In issuing his statement. Mr. Colby
explained that he was not taking issue
with the chairman OF the board, Edward
y. Hurley. but said he felt that the in
completeness of Mr.. Hurley's quoted re-
marks made necessary reinsurance to
American ship owners Of the govern
mcnt's attitude toward them.
There are n few European ports. v
Mr.. Colby's statement said. where the
temporary business of the board has
required 4 representative on the scene,
but We certainly do not wish the Amerl-
can owners of rcquisitioncd ships TO get
the impression that the shipping board
is crnbarking on 4 permanent program
of Worldwide employment for trade
purposes. Of shipping which we have
Temporarily rcQusitioned from its own
crs for war service.
The period Of such service is draw
ing to a close. and tho board Is very
dcsirous Of restoring requisitioned ton
mage TO its rishtful owners at Tho
earliest practicable moment. Tho cx-
tcnt of our overseas force, and the prob
lens OF transport and maintenance
which are peculiar 10 this country by
reason of the great distance from home
q, which our forces are operating,
make i, difficult for US to keep pace
with the releases Of requisitioncd ships
already made by our European allies.
But the difficulties of the problem
arc receiving the most earnest study in
conjunction with the war department.
and with the clearest recognition Of our
duty to American ship owners, who have
so Loyalty accepted the gricvous disloca-
tions of their business made necessary
by war needs"
