SHIPPING EOARD
FACES PROBLEMS
Future is Not Very Clear
in Opinion of Some of
the Operators
SOME SERIOUS
MISGlVINGS FEARED

WASHINGTON, Jan. %. - Disaster
was predicted as certain 70 follow
! continued government operation Of
the merchant marine, now built and
building, by Charles Page. member of
the shipping Board, yesterday at the
opening session Of a merchant marine
conference here TO discuss the future
Of American shipping. Representatives
Of nearly all the ship operators, build
ers and unions Of employees on the
Atlantic and Gulf Coasts were present.
LESS than any other business, in
my opinion, does the ship operation
lend itself 10 government operation" 4"
Mr.. Page said. He asked the advice Of
the conference on problems. which he
said the Shipping Board must grapple
with Immediately.
1--WE have during the war committed
the board and constructors to a pro
gram Of building twelve and a half
millions tons Of steel ships. and two
and one-half million tons Of wooden
ships" he said. There are serious
misgivings as TO what should be done
today in the matter. Should the con-
tracts for ships not yet be laid down be
Cancelled, and how are the effects upon
labor and markets TO be met II they are
canceled2
"Then comes the question Of dis
position Of ships already built Be
cause Of the war we have built some
ships Of types, let us say frankly, that
you as shipping men wouldn't think Of
buying to operate in world competi-
ton. Their size, or the motive power
that was installed. makes that almost
impossible"
Senator Ransdell, of Louisiana, open
ing the conference, said IL was assem-
bled TO get an expression Of opinion
and to form a permanent organization.
Some of the questions 10 be answered,
he said. were;
"What shall be done now with the
great problem Of shipbuilding the
board has9 Are they 70 go ahead
spending the s3,OOO,O00OOO authorized
for ships placed under contract during
the turmoil and press Of war2 Shall
they charge OF and stop work on con
tracts, where not more than 33 i-3 per
cent will be damage which the govern
ment must suffer2 Shall they operate
these ships as a government PROPOSE
ton, or shall they sell them TO indi-
viduals7 Do you really wish a mer-
chant marine, owned and operated by
Americans? Do you wish it 10 be
government machine. or a private enter
prise? Shall the government pay sub
sides, and to what extent2"
Senator Fletcher, Of Florida, said
there could be no profit in considering
alleged waste in ship and shipyard con-
struction during the war, because when
the submarine danger was at its height,
the United States Shipping Board would
have been justified in paying $1,000 q
minute for labor and building ships
out Of gold"

DEP ARTMENT BANKS
UNDER u. S. CHARTERS

WASHINGTON. Jan. 23-The Unite'
state Council Of state Banking Asso
Citations, through its Washington ofilc
in the Union Trust Building. has MALE,
10 banks operating under State charter
bulletin setting forth proposed legis
lation affecting these banks now undel
consideration by The Federal Reserve
Board The proposed legislation is d.
vided under three heads:
First. To admit TO membership in the
Federal Reserve system mutual savings
banks (which have no capital stock
and stock savings. banks with insusl-
Client capital stock to entitle them to be
come members under the existing law
provided the surplus Of mutual savings
banks and the combined capital and sur
plus Of such stock savings banks are
equal 20 the capital stock required OF
national banks in the places where
such savings banks are located.
Second Authorizing the board by
regulation 10 prescribe conditions
under which time deposits may be
classed as savings deposits and pro-
viding that two-thirds OF the three per
cent. reserve against savings deposits
may consist OF United states bonds is
sued since April 2i, 1917, or United
states certificates Of Indebtedness de
posted with the Federal Reserve bank
Third. Authorizing savings banks
converted into national banks 10 main
tain separate savings departments and
authorizing national banks TO establish
separate savings departments to be op-
eratedSin substantial conformity with
State laws.
While two OF these proposals relate
especially TO the membership Of saw
lngs banks in the Federal Reserve sys-
TEN, the outstanding feature is the
third proposal. which in effect creates
charter, national banks being now
cial and a trust business under certain
departmental bank under national
authorized 10 conduct both a CONNER
conditions.
Under the third proposal 10 would
also be possible TO organize a national
bank solely for the purpose Of con-
Quoting a savings business against
which two-thirds Of the required re-
serve could be carried in government
bonds. In such event it Is more than
probable that the use Of the word
savings" both in corporate title and
advertising, would be upheld by a Fed
eral court, whether or not in contra
vention Of State law.
The Federal Reserve Board has taken
no action nor expressed any opinion in
regard to these proposals, but has CON
sented TO their circulation i'm order that
State bankers might have an oppor-
tunity TO express their views on the
subject. In this action the board has
evidenced a desire 10 cooperate with
the State institution which should be
appreciated by/all State bankers.
