SHIPYARD CAPACITY
DOUBLE ENGLAND'S
Senator Fletcher Sees Maritime
Leadership for America

Advocating completion of the
shipping program outlined by tho
United States Shipping Board. Sena-
tor Fletcher, of Florida, chairman
OF the Senate Commerce Committee
yesterday declared that America has
its chance to become the greatest
maritime nation.
Fletcher told the Senate the pres
ent capacity of our shipyards was
now double that of England's. He
defended the La Toilette seaman act
which among other things provided
an increase in wages to seafaring
men.
Cost of ships in this country
ranges from $3.50 to s24O A ton,
Fletcher said. Senator Weeks, of
Massachusetts,, asked Fletcher if it
was true that a Pacific Coast ship
building firm had announced its
ability to build ships for the French
at s115 a ton.
Weeks also said that de under
stood there were many shipbuilders
on the Coast now out of work due
to the sudden ending of the war
and suggested that the shipbuilding
companies be permitted to take for
elgn contracts which are not now
allowed. Fletcher replied that he
doubted if any American shipbuiId-
ing firm would be willing to take
a contract at less than a s160-ton
rate.

Treasury Chief Explains
Payments of Benehci-
aries of Soldiers.

In order to allay much confusion
and misunderstanding about SOL
diers' insurance and compensation
that has arisen among relatives and
dependents. Secretary of the Treas
ury Glass yesterday issued a state
ment explanatory Of the two terms.
No dependency need be proved by
benedciaries OF insurance, he point
ed out. Insurance will be paid
monthly to the beneficiary named In
each application for government in
surance.
Compensation" he says, however
which is separate and apart from
insurance and takes the place OF
the pensions provided under the ola
pension system, is payable only to
a wife, child. dependent mother or
dependent father of a man who is
disabled or dies as a result OF in
jury suffered or disease contracted
in the line of duty while employed
in active service
Compensation may be payable in
addition to insurance, but a father

COMMERCE
TO BE WORLDWIDE
Hurley Says Foreign Trade Depends
on Freedom of Seas.

Paris. Dec. 26.-The American
merchant marine flag must fly in
every port of the world. Edward n.
Hurley, chairman of the Shipping
Board. declared in an interview with
the United Press today. He an
nounced the United States would
soon be able to build ships as cheap
ly as England.
In this connection it was learned
from other sources that the help OF
Americas vast new system of ship
yards in constructing merchantmen
for England. France, and the other
allied nations is expected to depend
absolutely upon solution of the pro-
blem OF freedom of the seas. II it
is not solved and the lid on COM
petition is taken off, America is be-
lieved ready to throw all its re-
sources into building the worlds
greatest fleet, thus becoming pre-
dominant in world trade.
1T is intended the American flag
shall fly in every port in the world"
said Hurley.
There is no intention, however. to
utilize American ships only for
American cargoeS. We want our
vessels to carry the cargoes of other
nations and We want the ships Of
other nations to carry our cargoes."
