JUNK THE WOODEN SHIPS

a proposal by large exporter that the

Government Of Russia. They would.

and so relieve some of the traffic con
gostion that is bothering the Bolshe
visits.
But there is only one sane. far
sighted way to get n return from these
ships. That is to junk them. Their
cost should bc written off as part OF
the war debt and the sooner the coun

gave them birth. the better It will bedor

To sell them to anybody-evpn to the
