According to sworn statements

suas obtained We're by no means those
produced BY private ownership. and
no one will so argue.
Present Losses Amount To Subsidy
But | aver that under the Harding
Administration the Shipping Boards
operation has become comparable "a
the best operations of privately owned
ships. The point I wish to emphasize.
though is that Government ownership
is not building up for the future and
Is overly costly in its operations at
all times.
While We are losing $4,000. 600 an.
nually in cash in operation. we are
wearing out the fleet, and in the
course of few years it will be of no
worth. Nowhere have I heard any
voice suggesting that the Government
build further merchant ships. and only
through private ownership can we see
hope of renewals and additions that
viii be needed So while at the mo.
ment we are not only justified. but our
national need demands that we con.
tlAue the SAD losses Of operation Of
the Shipping Board until We can work
out national policy which will insure
the passage Of the feet into private
hands, We have TO excuse for not i'm
mediately tackling our problem and
solving it.
The main factors of our problem
are, what kind of merchant marine do
we require for war needs; what types
do we require for business needs: how
can We use the aforementioned
fleet as nucleus in private hands for
the meeting of these needs? President
Harding has offered to the Congress a
program OF legislation which will pro
vide the solution
In my next article | shall discuss
our war needs in a merchant marine.
