parliament where the opposition
strongly objects to a settlement Of the

Commissioner Stevens
Attacks Board Methods
of Fixing Depreciation

Bids amounting to $8,S10.000 were
received by the Shipping Board for
seven former German ships over
twenty years old that the board had
listed "as valueless.' Commissioner
Raymond B. Stevens. former vice
chairman Of the board, today told the
Senate commerce committee, investi-
eating the proposed sale of tho Ger
man liners.
He declared that the boards policy
was to charge off per cent a year
for depreciation and that the board
had therefore held that ships twenty
years old or more were worthless.
AS a matter of fact, he said, the
seven ships he referred to were easily
worth $1O,000,000. The ships referred
to and the bids for them were: AM
phion, $4,000; Susquehanna. $500. 900 {:
Nanse. 100000; Aeolus, S1,o4s.ooo;
one $1.20O.oOO. and Pocohontas, ST.
425, 900; totaI $6.S10,000.
The value of all the German ships
offered for sale was two to three
times the amount Of the bids relieved,
however, he said. that the bids repre-
sented approximately the value of the
ships. He declared that the boards s
method Of charging off per cent an
nuaily for depreciation was not
equitable. The real value of the feet
nine million dollars, he said.
Appraisal Proceedings.
Although he asked that the ships

lowed to sit with such appraisal

met, and never knew of the appraisal
until it appeared in the committees
record, Mr.. Stevens said. The ap-
and ]. Rowland Gardner of New York,
both recognized marine experts, he
said.
his request to SIT with the appraisers.
Mr.. Stevens said. He declared that
the appraisal made did not represent
the real value of the vessels.
The fundamental question involved
in the proposed sale of the ships. Mr.
stevens said, was whether ships could
be operated as cheaply under the
United States flag as foreign flags.
.The only way we can find that out
and determine it once and for all is
for the Shipping Board to refit the
ships and operate them for a WHILE
he said "To sell the ships to Ameri-
can concerns for the amounts offered
would be to give an indirect subsidy

ships the subsidy would reach bill
lions"
Proposal Of American Firms.
American shipping concerns were
already asking the board to- sell for
500 a ton cargo vessels now being
constructed. about half the actual
cost. on the ground that they could
not be operated as cheaply by United
states concerns as foreign owners.
Mr. Stevens declared. He said that
sealed bids received from foreign
companies for four ships for transfer
to other flags reached double the
highest bid by a United States con-
Germ in three cases, and $500. .000 more
than the highest American bid on the
fourth vessel. The bids were re-
jected by the board In conformity
