BENSON FOR PRIVATE
OWNERSHIP OF SHIPS
Sees Board in Position SINH
lar to That of I. G. G.

BOSTON. Oct. 21.--Admiral William s.
Benson. in an address before the DOS
ton Chamber of Commerce to-day, ex-
pressed the opinion that the United
States Shipping Board. of which he is
chairman, would ultimately be to
shipping what the Interstate Com
merce Commission is to the railroads.
He said the board had very little op-
portunity to study the real problems
connected with commerce due 10 the
abnormal situation developing from the
rapidity with which the ships were
built.
II hope that you will all realize that
it Ia absolutely necessary for the sue
cess Of our merchant marine that the
vessels be owned and operated by
private parties" he said.
He supported the st. Lawrence River
Canal project, saying that IL necessary
the United States should issue bonds
to finance the enterprise He said It
would relieve the coal situation OF New
England, as the railroads were already
overtaxed In their efforts to haul coal
''If the ST. Lawrence proposition were
properly developed he added, at
would give New England hydroelectric
power almost sufficient TO relieve the
coal situation and would develop COM
nerce from the middle West"
He urged that American vessels be
given preference by shippers over those
OF foreign countries even though the
rates were slightly higher.
