WASHINGTON. August l7.-With!n
short time the House Committee on
Merchant Marine and Fisheries and
the Senate Committee on Commerce
will begin hearings to aid Congress
in determining upon n policy for the
United States merchant marine.
The hearings promised to be quite
as exciting in character and attracted
as much interest as the hearings
which The House Committee on Inter-
state and Foreign Commerce held on
tho Plumb plan for he control and
operation OF the railways.
The farmers o. the country appear
10 be just as determined to have n great
merchant marine built up by the
United states during the war remain
under government control as the rail-
way men are TO prevent the railways
going back into private ownership.
II Is interesting and important in
formation that tho farmers. in their
main government owned, will nave the
active support of the railway men.
Bills Embody Idea.

Bureau OF Operations OF the Shipping

thought this coordination might best

OF both the railways and the merchant
marine. The bill introduced by Sen
ator Jonas emhodies Mr.. Rosse;er' 5
idea on the subject.
Glenn Il. Plumb. the author OF the
Plumb railway proposal. today asserted
that the rai!wa" leaders would back

their demand to havc the merchant
marine remain under the control of
the government. He said control and

made this argument in support OF that
contention.
Cites Export Figures.
I'm a single month Americas export
trade exceeded its import trade by

that coordination can be obtained
only upon terms dictated by that
branch Of the transportation service
which has the power and upon terms
which render to that branch the profits
