Shipping Board Policy
CFrom the New York Tribune).

The reorganized Shipping Board
finds itself saddled with two oppres-
sive legacies. It is the common no.

MILFORD. June 15.--Milford is
noted for its beautiful flower gardens
and nearly every home IN the town
takes pride in a plot that adds to
the attractiveness of the place, but
this year the plants have not been a
success. owing to the fact that they
have been literally covered with
green lice.
Numerous sprays have been tried
but the lice failed to be dislodged.
The specie and origin proved a mys-
terry until this week, when it was
discovered that they were the ordi-
nary pea louise.
The pea vines In this section of the
country have been infested with these
lice this year. and when they were
cut for the factory the insects left
the vines and invaded the town.
Shade trees as well as plants have
suffered and many of these are now
dropping their leaves.
1t is said that the only insecticide
that is at all effective on the pea
louise is a nicotine solution, and this
is now being tried.

their responsibilities lightly. But
here again the failacy arises OF bas-

icy. Even before the war the will
son Administration had conceived
the idea of bringing the merchant
marine under Federal control. It
saw the need Of restoring the Ameri-
can carrying trade. But 1t wouldn't
apply the methods which the other
maritime nations had successfully
used. II wasn't willing 10 stand be-
hind the private builder and opera
tor, but wanted to bring the govern
ment into the shipping field as a
rival builder and operating competi-
tor.
Mr.. Wilson evidently intended 70
make the experiment of a govern
ment controlled marine under peace
conditions. The war suddenly gave
him a free hand with the merchant
fleet, just as il allowed him TO make
similar disastrous experiment with
the railroads. IL is this earlier Will
son policy which the new Shipping
Board will have to aim at reversing
within a reasonable period. Having
tried the wrong road-perhaps an
unavoidable road in 1917 and 1918
it is time TO get back on the right
one.
The bad effects Of dual operation
have been emphasized in the course
of the marine engineers strike. The
government has shown a disposition
to make terms with the strikers
which the private companies feel
would be ruinous to them. The old
Shipping Board was always intent
on keeping its ships moving. Yet
keeping government ships moving
under conditions whi h would
strangle private enterprise simply

mental activity in the shipping field.
