Recommendation to Relief Commit- tee Includes Plan For Fifteen
 Man Committee

Chicago, Jan. 15.-Creation of a Farmers Export Corporation of 15 men with power to divert a surplus above domestic needs to the world market with adequate working capital, power to collect from each unit of each commodity amounts sufficient to prevent impairment of working capital. and a protective tariff have been recommended by the American council of agriculture, to President Coolidge's agricultural conference.
 The suggested legislation, outlined by c. M. Peek of Moline, H., presi- dent of the council, provides that the incorporators be the secretaries of the treasury, agriculture and commerce and 12 individuals ap- pointed by the president one from each of the Federal Land bank dis tricts, from nominations made in the district by bona fide farm or ganizations.
 The corporation would buy and sell farm commodities, operate stor- age facilities, and have authority to operate with a premium or bounty on exports if desired. Provision would be made for the collection of equalization fees and the spportion- ment of expenses and losses in ex- port sales out of the equalization fees.
 The council recommended that legislation providing for the Farm ers' Export corporation should in clude power of restriction of imports by proclamation of the president: utilization of services of govern ment agencies in collection of equalization fees, penalty clauses and a declaration of separability of sections of the bill in the event any one should be found unconstitu- tlonal

STATE.OWNED SHIP
 BUSINESS IS BAD
Private Shippers Always Come on Best, Report Says

London, Jan, 15,.--In competing against ships which arc privately owned state owned ships have come off the worst. according to Lord Inchcape, the chairman of the P. & O. shipping company, He said that during the war tho British government built a great many steamers but very wisely after the war had ceased they got rid of them, and at high prices, for trade was then booming. Not so wise were Canada, America, Australia, Brazil and Portugal, which held on to their state-owned steamers. These vessels had been competing with privately owned vessels the world over with the result that these countries had lost millions of pounds which had to be made good by the taxpayer.
 It would, he believed, have paid the ship-owning governments to have sunk their ships rather than to have kept them running during the last fourwyears. When govern. ments rid themselves of the incubus of state-owned vessels the public amy see a moderate return to pros- perity in the shipbuilding industry. Meantime the shipbullding yards of Great Britain will have many empty berths, with the resulting lack of employment, but unless they can expect a reasonable margin of pro- fit.
 Governments would be better off, concluded Lord Inchcape, If, instead of competing with private enter prise, they took a share of business profits in the form of income tax. If they continued to run ships they would fail commercially, and to make good their losses, would have recourse to additional taxation.
