SENATE SEEKS LIGHT
ON SHIPPING PROBLEM
How Can Vast Merchant Fleet
Be Operated Without Loss
to Treasury?
FUTURE OF FLAG ON SEA
I'M HANDS OF SENATORS

Washington, D. C.-The country has
invested between three and four billion
dollars in merchant ships, which it
now has on its hands Every taxpay-
er, whether farmer worker or mer-
chant, business man or manufacturer,
at present is a stakeholder in these
ships. How can they be run at prof
it in competition with other nations?
In other words, how is our flag to be
kept on the seas?
These are. the questions with which
the members of the Senate Committee
on Commerce are wrestling in q nota-
BILE series of hearings on the merchant
marine which are now in progress
at the Capitol. 1t is likely that
these hearings may last several weeks
more, and the legislation on which the
committee is seeking light is expected
to engage the attention of Congress
for several months to come. The Ques-
lions involved in the hearings consti-
tute, in fact, the gravest single eco
nomic problem that has been imposed
on the country as result Of the war.
OCNdIOFS OF Lie JOOs
The responsibility for preparing
solution of this problem through these
hearings falls on 10 senator's, includ-
ing the following from Middle West
States:
nlinois-Lawrence 7. Sherman.
Minnesota-Knute Nelson.
MisSouri-James A. Reed.
Ohio-Warren G.. Harding.
WisconSin-Irvine L. Lenr0Ot.
How Hearings Are Conducted.
These hearings are held in the large
committee room Of the Committee on
Commerce, in the Senate wing Of the
Capitol, in which hearings ON the mer-
chant marine have been held in many
past sessions Of Congress. Pictures
Of the new merchant fleet look down
from the walls. The Senators sit at
a long table with Chairman Wesley L.
Jones of the state Of Washington at the
head. Around it are grouped each day
representatives of the country manu-
facturers, merchants, farmers, bankers,
exporters, shipbuilders and ship OPP
orators. Officials of the q. S. Shipping
Board, which now controls majority
of the ships, are alwaycs near at hand.
The daily sessions begin at 2 p. m.
and last usually until toward 6 o'clock,
or after the adjournment of the Sen
ate for the day. The daily attendance
of the committee is good, and the in
terest shown by the Senators is keen
and sustained They, as well as the
witnesses, realize that on the result of
+ho committees deliberations hangs the
