propriate for the Daughters of the

cent meeting here of important ship
ping interests on legislation now before
Congress.
The report adopted said that for the
present there is no prospect of Con-

ii added that II Congress is content with
carrying out the present merchant ma
rine act. so as to bring about the trans
fer of Government ships to private own

tablish and maintain permanent mer-
chant marine
Generous compensation for the car
riage of foreign mails under long-tern
