Shipping AMI Tariff Tied Up Together

IN determining what action ii will take on
i the Presidents proposals for promoting
this country's commercial prosperity by aid
ing private enterprise to purchase and opcr-
ate ships which will carry the flag OF the
United States into all OF the worlds ports,
Congress is faced with condition and not
a theory. At cost OF many billions of
dollars we built up during the stress OF wars
emergency a magnificent fleet of commerce
carriers. The shipping Board the agency
of the government put in charge OF these
ships, confcsses itself unable successfully
and probably to operate them Whether
through faulty management or otherwise,
the conclusion has settled into popular con-
victon that the government is not the agency
through which the shipping industry Of the
nation can be successfully managed
The condition is that these ships are now
very largely lying idle in our harbors, the
huge investment taken from the pockets of
American taxpayers yielding no returns
Shall these ships be allowed to remain idle
and the investment be wholly lost. rather
than to adopt the Presidents plan of dis
posing of them 10 private enterprise under
government guarantee OF "A few millions

would insure the maintenance and operation

To the Editor Of The Times Dispatch
SIR. Your editorial today entitled
partners in Crime" is "a clear and
logical statement Of tn" truth con-
corning the buyer Of Illegal liquor.
| nave not seen anywhere this fact
put in more convincing terms.
There are thousands OF buyers of
Illicit drink who do not stop to con-
slider. or who do not care for the fact.
that they are unworthy citizens Of
good communities and are morally
as guilty as the dcspicable and pItiiul
element Of our people who secretly
manufacture and sell a dangerous
product which. for the protection ut
society, has been prohibited by law.
The man or woman who VipiH' IS

morally as guilty as those who sup

to end IT with all possible speed.
The House has decided that building

offices i'll widely scattered private structures
Should be erected, and that no starting time
