LIKE A SIEVE.

Judging by the revelations which have been. made to him as the result of delving into the affairs of the shipping board, one could hardly blame Chairman Lasker if he felt inclined to throw up his hands and get away from the un- favorable conditions which have been dis closed.
 It was of course understood when the appointments were made to the. board, and long before, that the shippinE board had been through. sad experiences, that the country had been a trerpendoMs loser thereby and that it would be. a long time before 1t could expect to get back on it's feet. but it had been hoped that the tremendous waste had been checked That, however, isu't the case and the worst of it is that 1t will still require time before 1t can be checked.
 Not only. is it realized. that the gov ernment must write of two-thirds of its investment in the shipbuildinE activities and accept the present valuation as be ing about a, billion dollars, but it has now been found, as the result of a fleet of auditors put onto the boards book to disclose the conditions, that of the S3sb 900, 900 appropriated for the board last year there were. &2OO OOe0, 900 lost. And what is still worse it is probable that out of .this.e years appropriation there will be. s1OO ,OOo,oOO lost because of the methods of doing business which have been sanctioned. in the, past and the contracts which still hold good.
 Chairman I4asker has been on the job but a short time but he has already substantiated the confidence in him which prompted his rappointment. He has 3 policy of getting to the bottom of things that should be. of immense value in straightening out the, shipping board tan Igle. He fully realizes the job and what is highly pleasing is that the size of il does not. staEser, him even though he lappreciates the handicaps which have been disclosed
 The government has had some ex' tremely costly experience in fedora ownership and operation of a merchant marine The quicker 1t can get out oi the business the better 1t will be for al concerned and the quicker will there b' the much needed relief for the United States treasury.
