$2,0o0,0OO,OOO LOSS
ON MERCHANT SHIPS
Administration Survey Places
Present Value of Fleet at
Only S1,OOO,OO0,OOO.

Washington.-The administration is
prepared to accept as an unavoidable
loss, due to the conditions incident to
the wartime emergency, about $1,000
100000 of the $3,O0O,OOO0OO or more
spent in the construction of shipping.
A survey of the situation, it was stat
ed, forced upon the officials the con-
victiOn that the fleet constructed had
a value of from $75O,OOO,OOO to ST.
OO0,O00,000 and that it was futile to
place higher valuation upon it.
1t therefore would be the policy of
the United States Shipping Board, it
was said, to accept this new valuation
in shaping its plans for the operation
and sale Of the ships. On such a ba-
sis, it is felt, successful operation may
be maintained Until the false val
uation is written off heavy daily
deficits in the maintenance of the
boards activities will continue.
e The American merchant marihc, it
was explained, was built at a time
when speed in getting ships into the
water was the all-important factor
and practically all other considera-
tions were put aside. Materials and
wages were at high levels and large
losses also were suffered because of
experimentation and the necessity of
developing the program on very ex-
tensive scale.
1t will be the purpose of the new
Shipping Board, of which Albert D.
Lasker of Chicago has been named
chairman, it was said, to get the gov
ernment out of the shipping business
as rapidly as possible. To accomplish
this a survey of the situation will be
made and plans for the sale of ship
ping arranged for on the basis of the
actual value of the ships.

RESOLUTION FOR
PEACE PASSES
Porter Substitute for Knox Pro-
posaI Is Put Through by ,
Vote of 305 to 81.
DEMOCRATIC ATTACK FAILS
Minority Maintains No Protection Is
Afforded American Rights by Meas
ure- Bitter Fight Certain Be-
tween Delegates of Houses.

Washington.-By precisely five to
one vote the house passed the Porter
resolution, declaring a state of peace
between this country and Germany and
the former Austro-H Hungarian mon
archy. The vote was 3O5 to 81. Forty
nine of the 131 Democrats voted for
the resolution. Sixty Democrats voted
against the resolution, as did one Re
pablican, Representative Kelley of
Michigan, chairman of the house con-
ferrees on the naval bill.
The Porter resolution has been sub
stituted by the house for the Knox
resolution which came from the SELL
ate, and which, unlike the Porter reso-
luton, contains repeal of the decla-
ration of war. The senate has de-
c!ared that it will insist on the Knox
resolution, and if this is true, both
will probably be tied UP a long time
in conference between representatives
of the two bodies:
Before the final vote was taken, Rep
resentative Flood, ranking Democrat
on the Foreign Affairs Committee,
which stood sponsor for the resolution,
offered two motions to recommit the
resolution to the custody of the COM
mittee.
The first requested and authorized
the President to enter into negotia-
tionS with Germany and her allies after
the fashion regularly adopted in
treaty making. Speaker Gillett ruled
this motion out of order after points
OF order had been made by Republican
leaders.
The next motion by Mr.. Flood in
cluded a disarmament proposition in
vOlving all the signatories to the
Treaty of Versailles. Mr.. Flood, in
making this motion, proposed to amend
the Porter resolution by adding this
proviso:
"And among the said advantages and
rights so reserved, special reservation
is made of the rights stipulated for
under the said Treaty of Versailles to
enter into agreement with Germany
and her allies and the powers associ-
ated with the United States in the
war, providing for joint disarmament"
The house rejected this motion by
vote of 254 to 112.
The Democrats who voted with the
Republican majority for the resolution
were:

more than a week considering the
measure and adopted few minor
amendments, but it was approved

nraise lands and buildings, the mayor

Partisan debate occupied the entire
time of the house until 4 80 p. M, the
hour set for voting. Democrats as
serted that passage of the the resolu-
ton by Congress would give Germany
every opportunity to disregard the
rights of the United States, and afford
no protection to American reservations
under, the armistice. On the other
hand. the Republicans maintained that
the resolution was merely technical,
and would be followed later by 4
treaty
The Democratic attack was main
tanned consistently during the day and
was much fiercer in character than the
Republican replies.
