LASKER IN PLEA
American Business Must Aid
Merchant Marine, He Says.
Markets of World viii Go Else
where, He Warns.

Washington, May 1S.-American
business was asked today by Chairman
A d. Lasker of the shipping board to
help the administration in its efforts
to place the American merchant ma
rine on a parity with that Of Great
Britain thru the establishment of a
government subsidy.
Addressing the convention OF the
United States Chamber of Commerce.
Lasker dwelt upon the problems con-
fronting the shipping board in pro-
yiding facilities for carrying the over
seas commerce of the United States
and in iiquidating the fleet which the
government now owns Because of
the 5-5-3 naval ratio established by
the Washington armament conference,
Isasker said it was necessary for the
United States to maintain a large mer-
chant fleet in order TO have equal
naval power with Great Britain.
An adequate merchant marine is
also necessary, Lasixer said. for the
United States to compete with other
maritime nations for the undeveloped
markets of the world He called at
tention to 1900 ships of 100000
tons which the United States owned at
the close of the war and said these
vessels were now being operated by
the government at an annual loss of
$4,000, 600.
''Of its 1900 steel ships. the govern
ment has loo tied up" Lasker said.
-Four hundred of the governments
ships are today covering practically
every trade route in the world. But
American shipping is being killed in
the borning.
The shipping board is operating
under law which contemplated that
the government would operate the
ships until trade routes were estab-
lished and private ownership should
take it over. But the very carrying
out of the law defeats its own pur-
pose Private owners wither and die
under the competition of government
operation Of ships: there would be
very few successful operators who
could take them OVER because they
would have been killed under the
bHghting competition of the unending
funds the treasury beIches forth to
back the enterprise"
Lssker said his experience as chair
man of the shipping board had taught
him government ownership and oper-
alton of ships was.a poison ivy in the
garden of industry"

NEED MORE ROOM
Thompson Bauer-Austin Com
pany Plans Large Warehouse.
Ask City for Track to Third
and Adams Streets.

Permission of the city commission
to run an industrial track from the
Santa Fe main line, to Third and
Adams streets, the site of large
warehouse contemplated by the
Thompson Bauer Austin Hardware
company, has been asked
The application has been made
orally to w. S. Hancock, commissioner
of streets and public improvements,
who has requested that it be made in
writing. Commissioner Hancock eX-
poets the written application to be
ready to present to the entire COM
mission at the regular meeting Tues
day, and regards it as probable that
the consent of the commission will
be given.
According to the blue print filed
with Commissioner Hancock, the
track will leave the Santa Fe main
line at the corner of First and
Adams streets. going from that point
ond streets, and follow the alley to
a point about 125 feet south of Third
street.
A service track along the parking
was originally considered, but the
Santa Fe officials felt that other in
dustries will desire the service which
the track in the alley would afford.
and that it might as well be placed
there now.
1t is understood that a tract of land
including five lots. with an area of
125 by $50 feet. fronting on Adams
street, is owned by the Thompson
Bauer-Austin firm. and that the ware
house will probably cover the entire
tract.
Plans have not yet been drawn up
for the building. and no time has yet
been set for the beginning of con-
struction work, Roy Thompson of the
Thompson-Bau company said
this afternoon.
