Senator Ransdell Predicts
l9 Million American
Tonnage in 1920.
CHALLENGE TO NATION
Says America Must Seize
Opportunity to Grasp
Maritime Supremacy.

A strong plea for government owner
ship OF the merchant marine was
made by Senator Ransdell, OF Louisl-
ana. in the Senate yesterday in a
speech on The American Shipping
Problem"
Senator Ransden quoted figures TO
show that IL the government retains
the tonnage now owned by the United
States and embarks upon a settled pol
icy Of increasing the shipping Amer
lea within ten or twenty years will
have a government-owned merchant
marine larger than that Of any other
nation. The total tonnage under the
American flag in 1870. II present con-
tracts are carried out will be 10000
tons, he said.
THE problem Of what to do with the
governmeut-owned merchant marine
has now become the dominating fac
tor affecting the future of the whole
American merchant marine" the Sem
ator continued. "As we deal wisely
with this problem. so will we deter
mine the future Of America upon the
seas. We have proven during the past
resources and the energy. and that our
workmen have the perseverance TO
create a fleet of 100000 deadweight
tons Of shipping.
Plea for Service.
Have we as nation-have our
statesmen and our business men, or
merchants. our seemen, our trained
ofiCers-the patience and the expert
knowledge to turn this emergency
flee. this powerful and triumphant in
strument OF war into a serviceable
and permanent instrument OF Ameri-
can commerce? The feet will be there
for our use. Are we going to let IL
rust and decay for lack OF ability TO
use II? Are we going TO be COM
PEELED to sell It TO foreigners who
know how to use 1t better? Or will
we rise to the great national occa-
sion? 1t is a question that challenges
the nation as II has seldom been chal-
lenged before"
Senator Randsal! advocated the pas
sage of a resolution pending before
the Senate Committee on Commerce 30
extend the authority OF the Shipping
Board to eighteen months after the
signing of the treaty OF peace; the
present law ends the authority SIX
months after peace
a number OF alternatives were sus-
gested by Senator Ransdel as to the
course which the United States may
take in settling the question OF what
to do with the ships. First and fore
most among these, he cited the GEM
plete government ownership and oper-
alton OF the ships, docks, wharyes
and terminals. The second plan sug-
gested was ownership and operation
through a public corporation con-
trolled by the government Thi.
method is in operation in the plan by
which the War Department operates
the Panama Railroad and Steamship
line
Other plans suggested were govern
ment ownership and private operation,
government ownership with operation
under charter. and the sale OF the yes
sells to private interests.
