ADOPTS FOUR PROPOSALS

American Owners.

The needs OF America respecting mer-
camille marine and the handling OF af-
ter-the-war foreign business were
pointed out In report of the Commit
tee on Foreign Trade and Shipping Az
ter the War read at the meeting of the
Chamber OF Commerce OF the State of
New York yesterday by Chairman Eu-
genius II. Outerbridge. The report emr
phasized necessity for action on the
problem and presented recommendations
In relation to the action the Chamber
should take. which were adopted
The important points presented in the
report consisted OF four proposals which
the committee declared the Chamber
should consider. The proposals were:
1.-THE Emergency Fleet Corporation
shall offer for sale to American owners,
personal or corporate, ships based upon
a per ton price. corresponding to the
price at which ships OF similar size, class
and description can be purchased or
built in standard foreign yards at the
time of sale.
"2-The Government shall receive rs
per cent. of the>purchase price in cash
and take n mortgage on the ship for Is
per cent. of the sale price at 4ia per
cent. interest, the mortgage to run for a
period of fifteen years, the purchaser to
make payments into sinking fund in

scented by the committee William II.
Douglas. n shipping man and member
OF the chamber, declared that the ques-
ton had not been sufficiently investi-
gated to permit Of hasty action by the
chSmber or any other body. In regard
IL the emergency ships he declared that
many ships built to meet the exigencies
of the situation were entirely unsatis-

properly; they would have to be re-
riveted and otherwise repaired before
they could he used successfully in the
mercantile marine.
After discussion Of the report reso-
luton providing that the Communicated
vessels should be returned to their own
ers as rapidly as possible and that the
merchant vessels owned by the United
States should be sold to private citizens
or otherwise brought into commercial
service, and that before any more ship
construction is carried out by the Emer
gency Fleet Corporation conference
with practical shipping men should be
held with the view of determining
whether the ships proposed to. he built
by the corporation are of the type. size
and construction best suited to enable
this country to compete In foreign trade
with the merchant marine OF other ma
lions and what changes, IL any, should
be made to effect that purpose" was
adopted.
The establishment by the chamber Of
system OF business education which
would At the business men of the coun-
try TO contend for foreign trade was
recommended by the Committee on Com
mercial Education. 1t was recommended
that system of examinations should be
established and that certificates OF eff
iiciency. proficiency or diplomas should
be issued to those who have passed sue
cessfully the examinations. Under those
recommendation a curricula of studies
deemed by the chamber to be essential In
commercial education would be arranged
and certificates Of two grades issUed.

The question as to whether or not
emergency ships which have been con-
structed are of proper size. construction.
&c, to make UP a successful mercantile
marine was raised. and 1t was declared
that that question should be determined
at once, because at will be plain to all
that no greater blow to permanent sue
