Atlanta, April 4.-Building permits

period of spring residential construc-

both the spirit and the letter of the
law might be met, will be given OPP
portunity to test the financial aspects
of this section of the act, which was
"unquestionably designed by Con-
gress TO bring into being a merchant
marine representative of the position
occupied by the United States among
the nations"
Shippers, merchants and railroad
men, in opposing this view, ask We
hemently why they should be forced
at Inconvenience and cost to them
selves to bolster up the Shipping
Board the policy of which many of
them oppose. The merchants associa-
ton here has determined to take ac-
ton to secure repeal of section %,
declaring it can only lead TO retalia-
ton by other nations.
Would Create Discrimination.
Members of the association point
out that If the provisions of the sec
ton are made effective foreign buyers
will insist II making their purchases
of American goods C. !. (. or cost insur-
ance and freight, which would allow
the buyers to specify that the goods
be shipped in ships of their own coun-
tries and that they would be in a po-
sition to make the American producer
stand the differential in freight rates
thus incurred. Importers say that
foreign producers by selling on a de-
livered basis can also make them stand
the difference on goods shipped 10
this country. Several foreign ma
tons already have protested against
operation Of the act.
Railroad men claim that the opera
ton of the section would create dis
elimination between domestic roads
engaged in interstate commerce. The
Steamship Owners Association also
opposes the measure and advocates
an amendment proposed by Represen-
tative Newton, Minnesota, which
would place enforcement of prefer
entail rates at the discretion Of the
Interstate Commerce Commission.

that more effective action may be

determined that IL the leases had
been Illegally granted they would be
annulled.

d'lred the department of justice to
investigate and to send a man to lis
ten to the evidence presented at the
senate inquiry.
Mr.. Coolidge. II was stated on his
behalf, viii gather all the facts con-
corning the oil leases as rapidly as
