WHAT WILL BECOME. OF our sHrPsp

What is to become of the United States ship
ping board and the fleet of ships owned by
government? John Barton Payne. chairman of
the shipping board is faced with entirely differ
problem from that which confronted Mr.. Hur-
ley Mr.. Hurley successful turning out ocean
going vessels fast that the fleet of merchantmen.
carrying the American flag, has become the wonder
of the world.
Thus far no definite statement has been made
by the new chairman regarding his plans But the
Marine Review publishes an article which infers
that Mr. Payne intends to inaugurate economy
program, and that he proposes to dispose of the
government owned fleet. and to bring government
operation and shipbuilding to a quick end
In advocating economies in the conduct of the
shipping board, the chairman will certainly find
the country accord. On the other hand many will
question the wisdom of completely ending govern
ownership and operation of merchant ships.
The Cleveland Plain Dealer. in a strong edi-
, toria1, in regard to the merchant marine says:
Legislation will be considered which
will establish permanent national policy
to the governments future relation ocean
transportation. Naturally big ship owning in
terests in favor of dscontinuance of gov
eminent operation and the immediate sale of
its bottoms to private concerns. 1t is there
fore, obvious that if Mr.. Paynes attitude has
been correctly presented by his friends. it will
strongly supported when congress prepares
to give it's decision.
''This country has heretofore been poorly
represented in the merchant fleets of the world.
If she disposes of all her vessels, without pro-
viding for their operation under American
flag. there is grave danger that great number
will quickly pass into foreign ownership and
gradually, but surely much of gain in ton
mage will disappear
IF American is to gain full benefits from her
favored trade position it must be possible to
carry much of goods under flag
When the United States stops building ships
officials should to it that shipbuildng does
not cease. When it sells bottoms to private in
terests it should make part of the contract

the Orient and the closest observation

New York, Aug. 10.-In the first
three months since the st. Louis
caucus of The American Legion, the
National organization of American
veterans of the Great War, more
than 2400 local posts of former SOL
diers, sailors and marines have been
formed in the United States. OF this
number 1900 posts have been chart
cred by the National Headquarters
of the Legion at 19 West 44th street,
New York city. Application for Ma
tional charters for 1888 others are
pending and charters will be issued
as rapidly as possible. These local
organizations include eX-serVice men
in every State in the Union. Based
on the record of charters issued at
National headquarters, and on re-
ports from State branches, it is esti-
mated that the membership in The
American Legion up to July 81 was
more than 100000.
In addition to the formation of
local posts, two of the fundamental
steps in the organization program
of the National Executive Commit
tee representing the Paris and st.
Louis caucuses have been accom-
pliShcd: The establishment of a
Nation wide organization with n gov
c"ninS body at National hcadquar-
tors, and the creation of an active
state branch in every State. BY
September the Legion plans to have

men in each congressional district
