SHIPPING BUSINESS
New Board to Put Merchant
Marine on Privately Owned
Basis.
WRITE OFF WAR LOSSES
A. ID. Lasker Named as an
Executive Capable of De-
veIoping a Policy.
Special Despatch to THE New YORK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau,

New York Herald Bureau,
Washington. ID. c., June 10.
The United States Government is to
get out of the shipping business as soon
as possible and one Of the first tasks OF
Chairman A. d. Lasker and the new
Shipping Board will be to place the
merchant marine in private hands-and
to make it go.
Authoritative announcement to that
effect was made at the White House
following the Cabinet meeting to-day.
Shipping Board plans were discussed at
some length.
The new Shipping, Board will be or
ganized next Tuesday and 1t is likely
the personnel will be called to the White
House for conference. The board Is
expected to do two specific things Inn
media tely after It's organization.
i. Develop a policy that VIII put
American ships on business basis;
2. Take the Government out OF the
shipping business and develop pri-
vately owned American merchant ma
rine that can do business in the present
situation of world competition.
Those two detectives are to be accom-
plished first. by writing off the war
losses, or war cost of Shipping Board
vessels, as compared with present
values end, second by establishment or
routes and trades that will permit fairly
valued ships to operate at profit de-
spite the handicap of higher operating
costs
President Harding is convined that
Chairman Lasker can 90 the job. Las
ker WAS selected because he was
'Iive wire" business man who can keep
things moving and accomplish results
under difficulties.
Administration leaders are prepared as
a start on this programme to write off
s., 900, 100000 from the investment in
American ships as a war loss-one due
solely to the war and not to be saddled
upon a peace time project. The Ameri-
can merchant fleet cost about $1,000
100000. 1t was stated to-day In explana-
ton of the policy 70 be pursued that
this fleet as it stands to-day Is worth
not more than from thres-quarters to
one billion dollars. Ships built for the
war emergency cannot be sold and can
not be operated at a. profit or even at
cost
American shipping is regarded as in
state of paralysis, with practically all
ship lines now in business operating at
q loss. American ships are less efficien
than some others and are faced with
higher costs. No magic wand can be
waved to cure that condition, ii was
officially stated 1t must be accom-
plished by painstaking effort and good
management.

By Associated Press,

BERLIN, July IA. - German organ. ized labor, replying to the charge of President Sam Gompers at the recent convention of the American Fedora. ton of Labor that German workman could have prevented the World war. las issued the following statement through the general commission of labor.
 By such course the German work. men would have opened the way for a Russian army to march on Berlin and consequently peace would have been worse than the outcome at Var sailles. Fearful of the achievement of all Europe. German workmen par ticipated in the war only to prevent the overthrow of Germany. We vain ly opposed the ruthless submarine warfare, but succeeded in stopping and combating nationalistic policy of re- venge and working for the true dem ocracy. Our peace now would be made more happy if the American workmen would extend the hand of comradeship."
