AMERICA ON SEA TO

LONDON, May 14-Admiral Benson,
ehairman of the United States shipping
board, writing on the future of the
American merchant marine in the publ
cation Fairplay says: America is upon
the sea to stay. Who can doubt that she
will, after witnessing the wonderful-al-
most undreamed Accomplishments
during the World war?
America has expended S4,000,0O00O0
to make place for herself upon the seas,
and has made that place and will under
take earnestly to retain it, there II sutfi-
cient commerce for all the nations to
thrive upon.
1T should not be forgotten that the
ruthless enemy practically wiped out a
good part of the most efficient type Of our
overseas shipping. If America had not by
its shipbuilding made up for this lack in
world shipping ocean rates would be soar
ing today.
Il. for one. am optimistic as to the flu
ture of the American merchant marine.
The shipping of the entire world is now
in a period of depression, but | believe
that within a short time we shall see a
turn for the better; in fact. even now
there are Indications of a revival.

also have to be met from the treasury
unless the railroads succeeded in increas-

Mr.. Kruttschnitt said the growing
claims for cash under the guarantee arose
out of under-maintenance of railroad
equipment and road beds during the
period of government control.
One reason for delay in getting ex-
nensps down. kruttschnitt said, was
hardness Of the railroad labor board in
deciding the roads application for lower
wage scales.
