Says Wilson Must
Have Power to
Conscript Shipping
international News Service:

international News Service:
WASHINGTON, April 2O.-Pres't
Wilson must have absolute power TO
conscript the shipping resources Of
the United states. Chairman Hurley
of the shipping board, made this
statement in explanation of two
sweeping amendments TO the ship
ping act which the senate commerce
committee had before it for con-
sideration today.
Under existing laws there is no
authority for the United States 10
requisitiOn American ships in for
eign ports. Chairman Hurley de-
Clared that up TO the present time
this caused no trouble because ship
owners have been patriotic in their
desire TO place their property at the
disposal Of the government. He
states that additional power is nee
essary. however, for the exception
al cases" Penalty of a fine and inn
prisonment is proposed for those
who violate a requisition order.
Another serious defect in the ex-
listing law is that in all probability.
ii permits only the requisitioning
o. the bare physical possession of
the ship" Chairman Hurley stated.
1t does not authorize requisitioning
the services Of the ship owners or
sanization and crew. In practice it
is almost necessary to do the latter.
The legislation proposed does not. of
course, contemplate CONSUMPTION Of
crews. 1t preserves the principle
that civilian labor must be voluntary
