ments. Several amendments to the

minal storage Of wheat, Federal super
vision of grades and country buying
practices.
During consideration Of the terminal
storage of wheat, an outline was given
Of the bill now before Congress pro-
viding for increased terminal facilities
on the Atlantic seaboard. While these
facilities cannot be made available in

tices were incorporated in the record

Say Sale of Ships to British
Would Be a ''National
Calamity''

WASHINGTON, June 11.-Proposed
sale by the International Mercantile
Marine Company of it's ships to Brit
ish syndicate was opposed in the Sem
ate to-day by Senators Fletcher, of
Florida, and Ransdell, of louisiana
Both declared it would be national
calamity" and "suicidal" to American
shipping interests.
No greater discouragement," said
Senator Fletcher, could come to this
country in its efforts to build up a
merchant marine at the present time
than for this sale to be made. The
greatest question confronting the
American people to-day is the estab-
lishment of an American merchant
marine OF what avail is it to the peo-
pie who are interested in the build
ing up OF an American merchant
marine to bend their efforts towards
establishing a policy of this govern
ment whereby we can have such a
merchant marine as we need, if the
greatest men who are now engaged in
that business dispose of 100000 tons
of ships at one time"
