LASKER FARLEY
SHIP PLAN ILLEGAL
DAUGHERTY'S VIEW
Cites Complications in Word
To President On Present
Situation
Points to Interest of Congress and
How Plan Would BE AntagOnistic
Limits Disposition OF Fleet to
Actual Sales and Not Transfers of
Titles - Means Formulation OF
Shipping Policy

Washington, Sept. 20-Attorney
General Daugherty advised President
Coolidge today that the Lasker-Far-
ley plan for solving the merchant
marine problem is not legal. thus
once more throwing into the laps OF
government officials the task of for
mulating a shipping policy.
Under the shipping act, the after
ney general held, the governments
vessels may be disposed of only for
cash or credits and their transfer
as proposed by the Lasl;er- Farley
plan, to corporations organized un-
der state laws would be unlawful
The intention of congress, he de-
clared, limits disposition of the fleet
to actual sales and not transfers OF
title. Receipt of cash or credit OK
tending not over fifteen years, is an
express limitation of law, the opin-
ion added.
Many complications in the Lasker-
Farley plan were cited by Mr.. Daugh-
erty. Among those were loss of legal
title to the proposed corporations
loss of direction of the feet by res
ponsible federal officials. loss of the
governments immunity from suits
and possible imposition of state tax
cs and state regulations upon gov
ernmcnt property.
"These conditions" said the ruling
'impel me to the opinion that it was
not the intention of congress to au-
thorize the executive branch to or
ganize corporations to take title &c
the governments ships and in the
place of, responsible control by the
Shipping Board substitute a manage
mcnt by directors of private corpo-
rations amcnable to the laws oil
