AS n part of the Illuminating pro-

the joint committee of the two houses
as fully covering from the Shipping

of the merchant marine problem.
The situation which confronts the
government, he stated in his letter,
is not whether one feels that the
United States needs merchant
marine" but that the Shipping Board

which il must operate until the ves-

the pending bill as designed to ac-

Americans to take their proper places
in the ocean-carrying competition OF
the world. The bill, he added. would
also insure the building of types of
ships necessary not only to Amer

alive the art of shipbuilding in Amer
ica, now threatened with extinction

over to those who might operate II

The farmer was declared by Mr..
Lasker to be "vitally interested in
the merchant marine in many ways.
