period of government control. In order
that we may formulate our plans. an
carly reply will be appreciated"

Calls Sale Embargo Unfair

1T is unfair to- stop the sale of
ships to foreign flags if the yards are
to be subjected TO wholesale concclla =
tion,' the retiring director general said.
I'VE can still sell the excess over our
ideal merchant fleet for normal times
to buyers of other countries. If provi
sion is made for the sale of the boats
of the United States shipping board
first and then the right to build for
foreign order is granted we can become
nation of shipbuilders. even if tn,
opportunity to become a nation of ship
operators is denied us. There will be
a constant demand for ships for many
years to come. and the yards of Eng
land will be fully occupied ip caring for
their own needs. This is our chance to
become an active. virile aud aggressive
nation of builders

sible losses of operation under the

Harvest of Receiverships
"a harvest of receiverships is coming
Several are pending already, particu
larly among the wooden ship builders.
most of whom have lost money on their
ventures. We look forward now to
many more receiverships among the
makers of steel ships. Some of the
older yards will be able to weather the
storm by voluntarily cutting their con
tract prices. One yard already has con
sented to reduce it's costs by $50 ton,
which will save us about $25, 900, 900. "
Costs of cancellations now exceed the
savings that will be made year hence,
