Chairman Payne Reports to
Senate Committee on
Boards Activity.
OWNERSHIP A LIABILITY

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1s.-The proposed
sale of the former German passenger
ships By the shipping board was pursuant
to the policy of the board" to turn the
merchant feet over to private operation

presented by Payne declared. Chairman
Payne advocated further negotiations foI
the proposed sale.

]. Following the policy expressed in
existing legislation and orders of the
president, it has been the policy Of the
board to sell the ships to American
citizens for private operation under the
American flag. and in this way to en-
courage the creation OF a merchant ma
rine. Acting under this policy, we have
sold 1SS ships of the value of $93,546.
947S3, including eighteen ex-German
cargo ships taken over under the same
joint resolution as these passenger ships.
PASSENGER SHIPS
USED By ARMY.
2 The reason we have sold only
cargo ships is because the passenger
ships were used by the war department
in troop movements. The policy, how
ever, of esta blishing a merchant marine
under private ownership applies equally
to passenger and cargo ships.
3. Does the congress desire this policy
to be public ownership Of ships?
1. If so, these ships should not he
sold. Congress should direct the shipping
board to expend the necessary money TO
convert the ships from troop to passen-

involved.

Mr.. McAdOo declines to enter the racea
as an active candidate, and expresses
the opinion that the democratic strug
gle should be for a principle, rather thar
for man. He asserts that insofar as
possible the delegates should go to the
San Francisco convention uninstructed,
and he asks his friends in Georgia not to
urge his name in the primaries.
The opinion of New York admirers
of McAdoo, after reading the statement,
Is that he has placed himself in n po-
sition where his friends may continue
to urge his candidacy with the fun
knowledge that he will accept the nom
inatlon in event the San Francisco con
vention wants him, but that he will not
try 70 stimulate an artificial boom for
himself such as the republican candi-
dates for the nomination are now work
ing up in practically every state Of the
union.
SENDS LETTER TO
SOUTHERN MAYOR.
Mr. McAdoo's letter was addressed TO
Miller S. Bell, mayor Of Mlledgeville,
Ga. and was in answer to telegram
notifying him that his name had been
placed in the Georgia primary by the
citizens Of Miledgevile
Mr.. McAdoo's letter to Mr. Bell fol-
lows:

tered my name in the democratic pri-
mary of the state OF Georgia for
