CONGRESS MAY FORGE OFFICIALS
 USE J. {. SHIPS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8 S-Congress may pass law requiring all Ameri- can officials, diplomats, consuls and agents to travel on American ships in the future
 This is the likely sequel to the in- c1dent which has just aroused the senate in connection with the discov- cry that the American Bar Associa tion did not buy passage for its mem- bers on an American ship, but gave the business to a foreign steamship line.
 While Congress has no control over private bodies like the American Bar Association, it can compel people on the Federal payroll to travel on ships owned by American firms.
 The shipping board has again and again been confronted abroad with the humiliating argument that if the American officials do not consider their own ships worth patronizing why should any one else do so. At present it will be simple thing for congress to attach a rider to all ap- propriation bills where travel is in- volved requiring that passage be en- gagged on American ships where such vessels sail to the destinations to which the journey on official business is to be made.
 The general effect, however, of such stipulation in appropriation bills would be to make American off, cials patronize their own fleet and the impression resulting therefrom would be beneficial to the American busi- ness as a whole.
