Legislation for the disposal and opera
ton of the vast fleet of cargo-carrying
ships that has come out under our flag
as a result Of the shipbuilding program
upon which the country entered to
help win the war.
There are now afloat about 1,200 of
these ships, all Of steel, with carrying
capacity of 100000 tons of wheat,
manufactured goods or other products
of the United States.
When the vessels TO be completed
under the building program are In
commission, in the near future, there
will be available for sale q total feet
of about 1900 vessels, with total car
rying capacity of 100000 tons at one
time.
Senators Wrestle With Problem.
Nineteen senators on the Commerce
Committee are wrestling with the prob
lem of what to do with these ships. In.
Guided In the nineteen are five from
Middle Western states-statesmen who
understand the needs both of the pro-
ducers of the great grain and manu-
featuring states, and also the princi-
pies on which ships must be managed
II they are TO show a profit and keep
the seas In competition with the YES
sells of other nations.
. These midwest senators are Sher-
man Of Illinois, Nelson of Minnesota
Reed of Missouri, Harding Of Ohio, and
Lenroot of Wisconsin.
The gravest question before these
senators is how TO get the government
out Of the business of managing these
ships into which 1t got during the war
1t is taken for granted by Congress
that the government should now get
out of the shipping business, just as
II is getting out OF the railroad bust
ness, now that peace is here.
The main business before the sena.
tors is to provide means for selling the
government-owned tonnage of the vast
new merchant fleet to American bust.
ness men. and to pass legislation un-
der which the ships can overcome the
competition of England and other Eu-
ropean nations that are straining every
nerve to drive the new American com
merce fleets from the ocean.
snow Is the Accepted Time"
The view OF the senator's on the pro.
posal to sell the ships was very well
expressed the other day by Senator
Knute Nelson of Minnesota. who at the
end Of long session on the subject OF
the sale remarked:
"In the language of holy writ, Now
is the accepted time'-to sell the
ships"
The witness then before the commit.
tee, a shipping man from New York
echoed the thought in somewhat more
modern language by replying:
go to 1t while the going Is good"
II being agreed in principle that the
ships shall be sold by the government
the House OF Representatives has al.
ready passed favorably on the PROPOSE.
tion now before the senate by vote
OF 240 to S--the main questions are the
price at which they shall be sold and
the conditions under which they can
be operated by their buyers.

Enforcing the Cigarette Law.

SOUTH PARIS, ME-, May 10, 1920.
II has been brought to my attention
that there is in circulation in the churches
of this town petition asking for the en-
forcement of the cigarette law. Although
this has not yet reached me, would like
to have the townspeople understand that
I consider such proceeding entirely un-
necessary and uucalled for. Thus far
during my term of Office ] have tried to
do my duty without my being urged, and
cannot understand why anyone should
doubt my Willingness to do so.
/ have been quoted as saying that III
the citizens wanted the law enforced
would do it. This is q false statement,
as have never been interviewed con-
cerning the matter.
1t is deplorable fact that minors are
getting cigarettes; but as to where they
get them your guess is as good as mine.
Deputy Shaw and l have Investigated
each and every case that has been called
20 our attention, and in one case l found
that the boys father had given his son
an order to present to the dealer. Right
here / would like to state that the local
store which i have an interest In has
never dealt in cigarettes.
Iwelcome any information regarding
the infraction of all laws whether it
comes from pastor or layman, and invite
the cooperation of all in this matter. II
we, working together, can produce suffi
cisnt evidence shall not hesitate to take
the matter into court. repeat that it ii
not necessary for me to be petitioned to
do my duty.
