Birmingham Exporters Favor Private Ownership But Ap-
 pIaud Announcement That Service From Alabama's Port Is to Be Preserved
REGARD BOARD ACTION
 MATTER OF NECESSITY
Moffett Says Shipping Board Should Continue Control And Operation Until Suitable
 Private Purchasers Can Be Brought Forward to Buy Port

Birmingham manufacturers and ex- porters accord with the action of the United States shipping board in it's announcement of intention to pre- serve the American merchant ma rine service,
 A leading exporter declared he fa- vored private ship operation. but that the essential thing was preserv- ation of the merchant marine and. that being the fundamental neces- sity, he approved the determination of the board to continue its direct control and operation in case suita- hle purchasers of the ships under guarantee to maintain the service could not be found.
 This decision of the shipping board followed a conference held at Wash ington by the president and the en- tire board membership. including F. L Thompson. the board member rep resenting the gulf ports. and is in line with the policy urged by MT. Thompson
 The official statement given out by the board at conclusion of the conference yesterday and transmit ted by the Associated Press is as fol- lows:
  Official Statement.
 After an extended conference with the full membership of the shipping board. and thorough discussion of the problem to be solved. the board unanimously agreed, with the Presi- dents concurrence, that the chief end to be sought is the establish ment and maintenance of an Ameri- can merchant marine. With the fall ure of the subsidy act the board is confronted with it's vast possession of ships and the heavy losses un- der the existing plan of allocated operations under managing agents.
 "ln compliance with the shipping act the board will proceed at once to the consolidation of foreign trade lines and then offer the sale of these lines and ships under the au- thorization of the law, conditioned on suitable guaranty of maintained serv- ice. If such sales cannot be made without justifiable sacrifice of the ships, then the government will pro- ceed to direct government operation progressively pursued.

being offered to us in Illinois. Yet
no one ever suggested either for the

constabularies in any other state OF

"The attempt to convince citizens
that there is nothing involved in this
question except a difference of onin-
ions between organized labor and GER
tain organizations of employers is
merely the tapping of the vampire
wings by which the citizens may be
lulled to sleep and thus easily VIC
timized.

is destructive to the American prin-

is essential to the political freedom

to examine the bill and are only
supporting it on the theory that hay-
ing been led into contributing hard
cash they might as well continue to
support it and thus get something for
their money. They are kept IN a sort
of doze by the constantly relterat-
ed claim that no interest is at stake
except that of organized labor and
antagonistic employers. 1t is time Ion
them to open their eyes and they VIII
find that their own citizenship nights
are as much Involved as the citizen
ship rights of all other classes. They

be loyal to those principles of free

country the greatest in the world
For the moment, they have been
blinded by what appears to be either
class hatred or class fear but | feel
sure that if the average business man
in Rockford or indeed anywhere else
in the state, will undertake to read
and analyze carefully the state con-
stabulary bill (Senate Bill 49) from
the viewpoint of an American citizen
he will unhesitatingly declare against
that measure.

2 to l in favor of the proposition.
The vote was unusually light in the

made for the work, and that about
so miles will be built this year.
