Shipping Boards Annual Re-
port Reveals Optimism De-
spite Gains by Competitors.

The greatest handicap to economical
operation of the established Shipping
Board lines has been lack of vessels of
suitable speed, type and equipment to
successfully compete with the privately
owned foreign-flag vessels operating
comparatively on the same trade routes,
Chairman T. V. O'Connor declares in
the annual report of the United States
Shipping Board. submitted today.
Despite the fact that conditions re-
veal the Nations shipping is in a COM
paratively low state, a shaft of opt1-
mism was shot through the Shipping
Boards picture of operations of the
American merchant marine during the
year. Particularly does the board man.
ifest assurance over the prospects for
successful privately owned lines through
the provision of the Jones-White mer-
chant marine act, passed last Spring.

AS a result of this act, increasing the
construction loan fund, the board pre-
0icted that considerable new conStruc-
ton of merchant vessels would be got

Liberal terms for loans by which ship
operators have obtained valuable mail
carrying contracts are cited as reasons
for this optimism.
sonable indication of accomplishing the
three main purposes for which it was
enacted, namely, to assist in the de-
yelopment of the American merchant
marine generally, to aid in increasing
the foreign commerce of the United
States, and to facilitate the transfer OF
the Governments war-built fleet and
established services to private owner
ship" the report stated.
ut follows that unless our plans for
the merchant marine are made flexible,
in order to meet changing conditions,
we may find that the remedy which
effectually disposeS of the problems OF
today will completely fail to solves those
arising tomorrow" the report added.
"Of one thing we may be Sure-the
American shipping industry cannot
stand still. If it does not keep abreast
of the times, it will be forced into
subordinate position by the activities
of its foreign competitors"

For every ocean-going ship that the
United States is building, the report
cites as an example, Great Britain Is

Total loss on operation and vessels
laid up during the fiscal year ended
June 80 amounted to $17391 900, in
Guiding the loss of the United States
lines of $465, 900, compared with the net
profit of 1911 900 during 1927.
Exclusive of the loss of the United
States lines, the net loss for cargo and

combined passenger and cargo services
for voyages and inactive vessels amount
ed to $16,926,000, which is a reduction
of $1,364 900 from the 1927 figure.
The report attributed the losses
partly to increased cost in preparing
the vessels for service, compared with
similar costs in previous years, and to
the fact that there was not as great a
demand for American bottoms in the
cotton and grain export trade. 1t
pointed out, however, that the year S
business showed an improvement in
cargo tonnage and revenues in 1923
compared with 1926, there being 1,783,-
900 more tons carried the past year,
with increased revenue of $12,558,000,
compared with tonnage and revenues
of 1926.
81 Vessels Sold in Year.
During the past year the Shipping
Board sold 81 vessels, of which AZ were
in established lines on the Pacific and
Atlantic coasts operating in foreign
trade. The aggregate sale price of the
vessels amounted to $6,052 200, and the
aggregate dead weight tonnage was
$4,000. On June 80, however, the
board still had 1853 vessels, of which 253
were in active operation and sos laid
up.
Gross revenue of the United States
lines for the fiscal year 1928 amounted
to $16,266,OO0, compared with $685.
600 in 1927.
The board urged the passage of a
bill adopting the boards codification
of navigation laws. Legislation looking
to the adoption of The Hague rules
governing ships in foreign trade and
the passage of a measure before the
Forthcoming International Conference
on Safety of Life at Sea, in London in
1929, restricting the loading of ships to
the load line on vessels, were recon-
mended.
Provision should be made" the rec
concentrations continued, "for tax eX-
emption on American vessels operating
in foreign trade, including provision
whereby deductions shall be allowed
from taxable incomes derived from OPP
Grating profits to the extent that such
profits are devoted to new ship con-
struction in American yards.
Legislation should be enacted look
ing to the transfer to privately owned
American shipping interests of the
peace-time business now handled by
Army and Navy transports and by YES
sells owned and chartered by the Pan
anna Railroad Steamship Line"
