Redeeming Feature

The merchants say of William
Wight. He keeps his credit always
bright, he pays his bills OH time; so
what care we if men impute to this
pcrnickety galoot all kinds Of sin and
crime? Men say he knocks the
speed laws cold: he travels, insolent
and bo d, at an atrocious speed; but
when he buys bale of hay we know
that we will get the pay upon the
date agreed. When the assessor
comes along this William springs a
dance and song chat knocks the
truth askew; SO say his critics. but
his bills don't cause disaster to our
tills-he pays them when they're
due. We hear that, greatly to his
shame, he sometimes plays little
game OF cards with sinful men: but
while he's prompt to pay the freight
we shall not chide him or berate.
and he may play again Thus men
will pardon and explain the little
sins OF any swain who pays up what
he owes; they know he'll pay the
charged-up sums, and so they bless
him when he comes, and cheer him
when he goes. And it is strange and
sad but true that men who dodge
the bills long due find no defenders
near. when they're accused OF this
or that. OF poisoning neighbor's
cat. OF brewing lawless beer. Their
moral characters may glow, as staips
ess as the driven snow on far Alas
ka's hills. but when we'd hand them
wrcaths OF praise, there comes
cry from sullen jays, They do not
pay their bills!"

Assurances are not lacking that the
administration will seek to establish
permanent shipping policy during
the coming months. Legislation may
be asked--undoubtedly will be. One

President Coolidge a year ago de-
termined to- place the operation of
the merchant fleet under one exec
utive head-the president of the
Emergency Fleet Corporation, believ-
ing that such a course meant greater
efficiency than having the ships OPP
Grated by the Shipping Board, made
UP of seven members, differing In
pOllticS anu VIEWS duOul SHlpplIS.
He called in the Shipping Board and
explained his views to them.
Board Keeps Authority.
Under the law as it now stands the
fleet corporation is a creature of the
Shipping Board. The board appoints
the president of the corporation.
The board agreed to follow out the
course outlined by the President.
But later it fell back on the wording
of the law in drafting a resolution
on the matter and held on to its au-
thority over important matters of
operation. The board insists that 1t
could not do otherwise.
Here in brief, is one plan that is
being urged upon the President in
dealing with the merchant marine:
Complete enforcement of the fleet
corporation-the operating end of the
fieet-from the Shipping Board. The
board to confine itself to regulatory

and semi-judicial functions, as In
tended in the original law creating
1t. The appointment of the presid emit
or the fleet corporation by the Presi-
dent of the United States, and the
head of that corporation directly re-
sponsible to the President, and not
to the board. These are changes
that would necessItate legislation.
They would, it is believed, be resisted
by friends of the members of the
Shipping Board. Here again politics
bobs up. Very much depends upon
how great the influence Of the Ship
ping Board commissioners and their
friends may be. 49,. ..se.-~
Showdown Is Forecast.
Such a plan would seem to be
entirely In harmony with the policy
outlined by the President to the
board year ago, and seemingly ac-
guessed In at the. time. 1t Is no
secret that the board has hung on
to much OF its authority. and j have
been told by high official of the
Government-who, by the. way, is
not connected with either the board
or the fleet corporations, that the
board has delayed. If not actually
tnterfered with, many of the prof.
ects put forward by the, president
of the fleet corporation. 1t would
appear that sooner or later a show
down would come.
The Shipping Board, on the other
hand, stoutly maintains that 1t has
lived up to the plan outlined by the
President for the operation of the
ships; that 1t has been functioning
entirely within it's rights and as it
should.
AS matter of fact some Of those
who have watched the operation of
the board and the Fleet Corporation
during the last year insist that there
has been comparatively little friction,
although there have been some differ
ences Of opinion expressed. The con-
ception has been that the Shipping
Board stood as a board of directors,
dealing with large questions of policy,

was the elimination of number of
