Canoeing Ship Contracts

THE Shipping Board, according to Chair
man Hurley, has sound reasons for aban-
doning the construction Of 100000 tons Of
steel ships for which contracts were awarded
for the current year. 1t is not to be
taken for granted that the curtailment of
the shipbuilding program is ordered because
tho government foresees no practical use to
which this tonnage might have been put
There is room upon the seas for every vessel
which the original war program called for
and then some to spare.
better answer to the question is found
IN the fact that the contracts which were
cancelled were awarded for ships of a TYNE
that cannot be made profitable in foreign
commerce; that too much was being paid for
their construction, and to have proceeded
with the original program would have been
10 give business to a group Of small mush-
room shpyards which can have no perma-
nent place in the great American shipbuild-
Ing industry.
Even so, many OF the vessels upon which
work Is now suspended were awarded to the
larger plants, and these will suffer along with
those OF lesser consideration. These plants
were enlarged in all cases at the instance of
the government Great organizations of
workers were created. Vast Quantities of
materials were assembled or contracted for
1t is not TO be supposed that the government
is bent upon dislocating this great construc-
tlon enterprise. 1t should not do So in any
event.
If there is not enough American ship con-
| struction to keep the larger American plants
engaged, the government embargo against
foreign contracts should be lifted The allied
governments are in the market for new mer-
chant fleets. Many Of the neutral nations
are eager to place contracts in American
yards and at American prices This Is no
secret. 1t is fact we'll known from end to
end o. the two American coasts AS long az
1t was necessary to keep the shipyards en-
gagged upon American construction, 1t was
proper that they should he barred from &C
ceptng contracts for foreign account, but If
| the domestic construction Is not sufficient to
/ keep the building organizations intact, there
| appears to be no good reason why American
builders should not seek patronage in other
countries.
