CAN'T TRADE U. S. SHIPS
FOR STOCK IN FIRMS
Attorney General Advises Presi-
dent That the 'Lasker-FarIey
Plan" Is Illegal.

Washington.-No power is possess
ed by the Government under the Mer-
chant Marine act whereby the Ship
ping Board can carry out it's proposed
plan to dispose of aforementioned
ships through subsidiary corporations,
Attorney General Daugherty informed
President Coolidge in an opinion.
The scheme which was termed the
Lasker-Farley plan, contemplated the
Incorporation of these subsidiaries
under State laws, allowing them to
own and operate the vessels. Mr..
Daugherty said in his opinion that it
was evidently the intention of Con-
gress to authorize a sale of the ships
either for cash or for credits up to
fifteen years, and that an arrange
ment whereby the Government re-
ceived shares Of stock for the ships
was not sale within the pro isions
of the act.
Questions of serious consideration
might arise through the sumption
by the Government f stock owner
ship in a private corporation con.
trolled by State law, the attorney gen.
eral pointed out, saying it might be
contended that under statu es impos-
ing assessments to meet the debts Of
the corporation the Governm ent
would be liable as any other stock
holder.
The vessels transferred to the cor
poration, he added, might even be-
come legally subject to State taxa
ton, and such immunity from suit as
the Government now enjoys with re-
spect to the operation of it's feet
would very likely disappear. IN
doubtedly, Mr.. Daugherty further ex-
planned, the directors and officials Of
the proposed corporations would not
be officers Of the United States, and
thus the Government in the admins
tration and operation of its shipping
industry would lose the benefits of
the sanctions provided by law to Sc
cure the good conduct and public &C
countability of it's agents.

such tuneful stuff in recent sea-
