Henry Ford : offer to purchase 400
lajd-up vessels of the Governments
merchant feet, to be scrapped, except
in the case of ten or a dozen vessels
which he may operate, has brought
more forcibly than ever to public at
tention the problem of the laid-up
ships owned by the Government. some
S96 all told.
The proposal made by Mr.. Ford was
hsing considered today in official cir
cres from several different angles.
First, are the vessels which would
he Scrapped needed by the Army and
Navy for national defense?
Second, will these vessels he needed
for purpose of American commerce?
Third, is there any chance of their
being disposed of more advantageously
for the Governmental a letter price
than for SCrappinE2
The War Department and the Navy
Department should he called upon. it
was said, to estimate just what and
how many of the merchant feet now
owned by the Government should be
permanently retained to be used in
the case of war, not alone as auXiii-
aries, but also as commerce carriers,
when American shippers and import
ers would have to rely to a great eN-
tent on American flag ships.
No" III
If the War Department and the
Navy Department, after making a
survey of the situation, decide that
400 of the laid-up ships are not needed
for national defense and would be of
small use, then from that angle it
would appear that they should be
scrapped, rather than kept until they
fall to pieces.
While the so-called Presidents COM
mittee, composed of Representatives of
the War and Navy and Commerce De-
partments and the Shipping Board and
the Emergency Fleet Corporation,
was studying the merchant marine
problem last year data was compiled
showing that 521 of the laid-up fleet
would not be needed either for national
defense or for commercial purposes.
The investigators at that time suggest
ed two courses which might be fol-
lowed with regard to the surplus YES
sells; first, the sale for operation un-
der foreign flags, and, second, the sale
for Scrapping.
If these deductions We're correct,
and are borne out by reports of the
War and Navy Departments regarding
the requirements for national defense,
and by other departments of the Gov
ernnent concerning the commercial
needs of the country, then it would
appear that there should be prompt
action regarding part of the laid-up
fleet.
About 800 of the Government-owned
ships are now in operation-2S5, to be
more eXact--engaged in commerce in
all parts of the world. 1t is estimated
in official quarters that probably not
more than 100 or 200. at the most, of
the present laid-up fleet is needed as a
reserve. or would ever be called upon
to take part in overseas trade, either
under Government operation or under
private American operation.
The cost of keeping the 400 ships
which Mr.. Ford now proposes to buy
for scrappine' purposes now -~,unts
to about $1,000,000 a year. If the ships
are needed for possible national de.
fense, this is a comparatively small
item. But if they are not to be re-
quired either for national defense or
for commerce, then the Government
merely loses S1,00O,000 in their re-
tention.

Jones Wants Action.

Senator Wesley l.. Jones of Wash
ington, chairman of the Senate COM
merce committee, author of the pres
ent shipping act, who has just re-
turned to Washington after a visit to
South America aboard a Government
merchant-owned vessel, said today
that, in his opinion, it would be idle
to keep the ships rotting in rivers and
harbors of the country if they were
not of value either because of national
defense or for commercial use.
Something should be done about
this matter of the laid-up ships"
Senator Jones said. He pointed out
that eventually the American vessels
engaged in overseas commerce must
be replaced, and replaced by up-to-
date ships. He said that the fact the
Government had 500 ships laid up
would initiate against any proposal
to build more ships.
Policy Is Not Set
Senator Jones is firmly convinced
that the Government ships now being
operated to South America are a great
benefit to American trade. He said
that they should be maintained per
manently, either in Government own
erShip or private.
He said that the Shipping Board
should be in a position to make rec
concentrations to Congress when il
meets again regarding the entire mer-
chant marine problem, including what
should be done with the laid-up fleet
