sagacity and essential humaneness

city streets in the hope of soaring

Government and Ships.

Examples in Thrift.

IF you went overseas twenty
years ago, d'you remember
the old S. S. Pastores? The
ship was only four years old
then. Now it is twenty.four. 1t
was the first ship to ferry
doughboys to France and served
the country nobly by carrying
$500 officers and men.
Under the new Sea Safety
Laws, enacted by Congress at
the insistence of the Govern.
ment, the Pastores must be dis
continued as a passenger ship
soon. Bulkheading and fixing it
up according to the new safety
standards would cost the owners
too much money for a ship now
twenty-four years old.
However, the interesting
point is that the Pastores has a
run from New York down to
Panama and then to South
America. Paralleling this run is
the Panama Railroad Steamship
Company, owned and operated
by the Government. Operating
under Government ownership
are two passenger ships, Ancon
and Cristobal. These vessels are
not twenty-four years old, but
thirty-seven years of age, and do
not themselves come up to the
requirements of the new Sea
Safety Laws. But, nevertheless,
they have had no letter OF in
struction to discontinue carry
ing passengers.
60 what do we have? The
~ Government fatty compel
ing against a United States
private operator at a time when
the Government is trying to set
the merchant marine back on
its feet.
When the Government forces
a private operator to quit carry
ing passengers in a twenty-four-
year-old passenger ship because
it doesn't come up to modern
standards, but blithely continues
to operate its own old Crooks in
defiance of its own requirements
