steel Head Wants Inter
national Meet on Ship
ping Situation.

Cleveland, Ohio, May Gin an
.ddress today on American mari
time policy" at the National For
.ien Trade Council convention.
lanes A. Farrell Of New York,
chairman OF the council and presi-
dent of the United States Steel Cor
noration, told the delegates the
future OF American merchant ma
rine development is its merchant
neet He suggested an interna-
tional conference Of maritime ma
lions to stabilize the situation;
recommended the chartering OF the
government feet to individuals,
either on a bare boat basis or on
time cargoes; and advocated a re-
vision of American shipping laws.
"The present position Of our mer-
chant marine is the outcome OF
haphazard efforts to deal with a
problem the requirements Of which
necessitate from the beginning a
settled policy. It is the duty OF all
Americans to prevent the elimina-
ton Of our overseas fleet from the
worlds carrying trade.
The signing Of the armistice on
Nov. II, 1918, found US with a feet
Of 10000, 900 dead weight tons, built
and under contract. For a period
extending into 1919 an opportunity
existed to dispose of q large por-
ton of the fleet at prices bearing a
fair relation to q moderately de-
preciated cost. Not taking ad-
vantage of this opportunity, the
government lose a chance to real
ise at least $500, ,000, 900, being the
difference In the market value OF
the tonnage Of steel ships which
could have been sold at that time
and the appraised value today.
Sale Unwafrazted.
TO sell the neet, which cost the
tax payers more than three billion
dollars, without legislation revising
our navigation laws is impossible
1t is questionable whether under
present conditions any consider
able tonnage could be sold except
At sacrifice which is not war
ranted.
Even with temporary improve
ment in ocean freights, the worlds
idle tonnage cannot be absorbed
under three yeras. Approximately
1000, 900 tons Of the worlds carry
Ing capacity is laid up out Of a
total Of 60,O0o,000 tons (of which
100000 tons is still under con-
struction). 1t might serve q useful
purpose to ourselves and to the
world to bring about an interna-
tional conference Of the maritime
nations to stabilize the shipping
industry on the theory that one
part Of the world cannot be Grip
Piled economically while the rest is
prosperous.
While 1t is time to recognize the
TACT that the policy Of the shipping
board since its inception of en-.
deavoring to build up trade routes
from every Atlantic, Gulf and Pa.
enc port to practically every port
IN the world is expensive and i'm.
practicable until trade revives and
opportunity exists for obtaining q
lalr trade price for the fleet and
early retirement Of the shipping
BOARD and liquidation of its ship.
