Wilson puts into effect provisions OF
the shipping act making it impossible
for foreign interests to obtain control
of American shipping or shipyards.
Chairman Edward n. Hurley of the
shipping board explains that the. new
law provides that during war or ma
tional emergency proclaimed by the
president, it is a criminal Offense to
SELL mortgage, lease or deliver an
American ship to a foreigner without
the consent of the shipping board, or
to make any agreement by which con-
troll of ship is turned over to for
eigner. The prohibition applies not
only to completed ships, but to ships
under construction. s
It is made Illegal, without the
boards consent, to make any contract
for ship construction for foreign &C
count, unless the contract expressly
provides that construction on the ship
shall not begin until after the war or
the emergency has ended. Shipyards,
also, cannot be transferred to foreign
ers without the consent Of the ship
ping beard.
The act has provisions which 1t is
believed will prevent all attempts to
evade the ship-transfer sections OF the
law by means of dummy directors and
stockholders in corporations nominally
American but actually dominated by
foreigners. S
Farmers who have been placed In
army service deferred classifications
to stimulate production are organizing
throughout the country and reporting
to Secretary Houston Of the depart
ment of agriculture. "We are ready
with ITO per cent increase Of wheat,
or whatever else you may call upon us
to do to help win the war;" is their
message to the secretary.
