THE GOVERNMENT FLEET

Having the ships and having no
immediate opportunity for disposing
Of them; having a recognized need
Of representation in lines Of water
borne commerce the Government Is
in the predicament Of seeking to
make the best Of it rather than that
Of q constructive project with a
promising future.
TO ascertain, If possible. Just what
might be making the best Of it the
President appointed a special COM
mittee to investigate. That commit
tee has reported and following are
1ts chief recommendations:
1. The complete separation Of the
Emergency Fleet Corporation from
tho Shipping Board. the corporation
s to have entire charge Of operations,
while the board is to be restored to
its original status Of a semi judicial
regulatory body Of the merchant
marine as q whole.
3. Every effort should be made at
all times to place the lines in private
ownership.
3. Regular services should be
maintained by the Fleet Corporation
upon trade routes Of national i'm
will not undertake the task.
4. Creation Of local corporations
in the various ports to take over
ships and maintain trade routes.
8. New construction of ships for
replacement after the next Ave
years.
8. Cost Of construction and main
tenance Of fast passenger liners
should be met. where It exceeds
regular cargo liner figures, by ap-
preparations on behalf Of the postal
and naval services.
Z. restrictions upon railway
ownership Of vessels in international
trade should be removed.
Tho committees report serves to
emphasize the fact already known,
though infrequently considered by
most Of us. that II the Govern
ment should scrap this aest, which
It u maintaining. eighty percent Of
American tonnage, overseas trade,
would be strapped. OF the re-
naming 20 per cent half are in
dustrial carriers. As It is, with
Uncle Sans pocket book for the
treasury. It 10 possible for American
ships to operate on every trade
route on which an appreciate
quantity Of American commerce
moves. Surely there ought to be
some advantage accruing to Ameri-
can commerce from this. although
our exporters hesitate to leave the
0 long established lines and make use
Of the Government carriers.

hard to tell her whereabouts. for she
had suddenly become deep-sea diver.
Up came her head, after a few sec

in the air, and woe to them who stood
near.
All this time Baby Hippo, from the

exhibit herself. At last he decided he

he descended a few steps. Looking
down at the deep water. he didn't
know whether he would undertake it
or not, so he stopped. But mamma
was down there, so Baby Hippo took a
few more steps, which landed him in
the water.
He was deep-sea diver, too, for you
couldn't even see his head. and the
crowd gathered about the cage was
anxious about him for a few seconds,
but soon his head came to the top for

mamma and they gave a joint exhibi.

another flung across her arm. An
other put in her appearance carrying
pet canary. Still another insisted
on going back after her keys.
The commotion soon subsIded when
the janitor arrived, having taken time
to put his collar on, and explained
in a disturbing voice to the alar1nist.

The whistling ceased. Evidently the

that to call the pup any longer would
