UNCLE SAM PREPARES TO CLOSE
CAREER AS SHIPPING OPERATOR

Washington, Aug. 29.-tF)-Uncle
Sam expects to snap shut in a few
years the books on his career as an
operator Of commercial vessels.
Steps to that effect, marked by the
proposal to sell the great Atlantic
passenger ships now owned by the
government, presage the beginning
of the end of an epochal experiment
in American history.
A few years ago $500 vessels,
plying the waters of the world,
were operated by the government
through the United States shipping
board. Today there are some $50
ships on Uncle Sans books. Three
years hence it is expected that all
the vessels will have been turned
hack to private hands and the orig
inal aim which led to the establish
ment of the merchant marine at
tanned - restoration of the Amer.
lean flag on the high seas.
The United States became a ship
ping operator for the first time in
history after American cotton and
other commodities rotted on the
wharves during the early days Of
the World war because there were
no American ships to transport
them and the foreign vessels that
ordinarily would do so were en-
gagged in war service.
The shippin board was created
in 1916 and given authority to or
ganize a fleet corporation. In 1920
the merchant marine act was
passed, which provided that the
government should put shipping
lines in operation and after their
establishment sell them to private
parties.
Vessels in foreign service flying

the America flag prior to 1920
could have been counted with little
mental effort. There are 10 today,
and more than 600 ships have been
placed in the coastwise trade
through the efforts of the shipping
board.
The United States has spent
roundly $20O,0OO.000 in launching
the enterprise, and one years losses
those Of 1923-totaled $42,967, 1856
Lately the yearly deficit has beer
around $13,00O,O00.
What has been done, however
officials of the shipping board as
sert, is the necessary expensive
pioneering work in launching ar
American merchant marine. The
next few years, it is believed, will
show whether the United States
flag has been given a growing place
in the seas sun.
Efforts were made in 1926 to sell
the Transatlantic ships operated
by the United States lines, includ.
ing the great Leviathan, but there
were no bidders. The Jones-White
act passed by the last congress
however, is expected now to result
in bidding for the lines. The meas
ure enables the government to ex-
tend much greater financial aid.
T. V. O'Connor, chairman of the
shipping board and a member since
1921, is regarded as the father OF
the disposal plan. In 1920 the per.
centage of American foreign trade
carried in American ships was Az
per cent compared to 81 per cent
in 1910. In 1923, the last year 70,
which figures were available, thu
percentage was 1922, and there wa:
little change in 1927.
