La the World of Shipping

Removal of distinct menace to the
American merchant marine was effect
cd last week through the action of the
House in refusing to put an import
duty on oil.
With ninety out of the one. hundred
vessels now being built in the United
States being equipped to burn oil ex-
clusively, and with the other ten al
tentative oil or coal burners, some idea
OF the Importance of fuel oil to Ameri-
can shipping may be gained. Eighty
per cent Of the Shipping Boards en-
tire seagoing feet is oil-burning, and
q large proportion OF the tonnage pri-
vateiy owned under the American flag.
The bulk of British tonnage, however,
is coal burning although the tendency
In the United Kingdom since the war
has been to 60 in for oil burners on
an increasing scale, because of the
economies attendant upon the use of
oil fuel
One Of the few differentials in favor
OF American shipping lies in it's great
volume OF oil-burning TONNAGE and a
duty on oil as proposed would have
gone far to nullify the advantage held.
Huge Losses Anticipated
Chairman Lasker's statement that
the Shipping Board spent $3.50 900 900
more than it received last wear was
the headline feature of last weeks
shipping news. 1t had been estimated
for months past, however, that the
board was losing more than "a million
dollars day, so that the chairman's
statement did not come as an undi
iuted shock. 1t should be noted,
though, that in figuring this loss Mr..
Losker included 100000 1000 spent for
ship construction and $6,oOO0O0 for
drydocks, marine railways and equip
ment The disbursements for general
operations were given as $409 900, 900
and the receipts from operations as
$500, 100000, SO that the loss or actual
operation of the boards shipping for
the fiscal year was 100000, 900.
All of the boards tonnage was not
operated at loss, however, and this
applies particularly to the tanker
feet, which is reported to have shown
profit for the year of about $25 ,0oO,-
600. During last summer and we'll on
to the end of the year the demand for
tankers was in excess of the supply,
and in many cases the board was able
to charter tankers at rates that
brought good net return. Conditions
have changed since, however, and now
more than fifty of the government
tanker feet and a number of those
privately owned are laid up. AS sixty
