No other country but England is
equipped to take care by sea of the
eager transatlantic travellers who,
| in Washington alone, are pouring
passport applications into the State
Department at a rate of 1000 up
ward week. The Maritime Com
mission comedies that the great
liners, Queen Mary and Queen Eliza
beth. will skim the cream for a
year, possibly two, but says that is
the end.
The commission has asked for bids
for two American vessels each for
four trades, North Atlantic, Mediter-
ranean, South America and the Pa
cific. These ships will be slightly
bigger than the America, prize pre-
war United States transatlantic
vessel, but not so large as the two
Queens. The Americans believe
they will be far more efficient to
operate than the Queens, just as
lush for voyages and much more
FUN.
How Subsidy Works.
Under the rules laid down by
Congress, the vessels will be built
for the account of the Maritime
Commission. Then the subsidy
comes in: They will be sold to
United States operating companies
tor the equivalent of what it would
cost to build them in foreign yards.
The operating companies will be re-
ouired to make a down payment OF
IS per cent cash, the balance in 20
equal instalments in 20 years.
At the same time some competi-
ton for the regal Queens may be
expected from Holland. France,
Norway and Sweden. With incred-
ible sacrifice the Dutch, whose
Nieum Amsterdam was one of the
most pleasant ships on the North
Atlantic run, have laid the keel of
her successor. France is on the
job. Sweden built some nice ships
during the war and has a new liner
under construction. Norway is eX-
pected to concentrate on her mer-
chane marine
With the same slow pace that
has hindered other aspects of
.reconversion, Congress and the
Maritime Commission have at long
last laid the groundwork for dis
posing of Our vast tonnage of war
time shipping surplus. The Navy
first got her pick-and she was not
bashful about picking many of the
best for auxiliary" craft. She took
so many that an impartial agency
will have to recheck some dav to
be sure she isn't boarding, depend
ing upon future events.

Next, bids were finally advertised
this month to give the second most

and the United States operators

bid. Between them, the Navy and
United States interests are expected
to get the fast, modern shipping,
leaving mostly Liberties for the
foreigners, which are suitable prin-
cipally for tramp work. Aliens must
pay, also.
Regardless of its merits as self
interest, even those close to shipping
circles attack the incredible delays

Edwin w. Pauley is taking his
stand on the Bon Homme Richard
with John Paul Jones-he has not
yet begun to fight.
The embattled California Gilman
has no intention of retreating or
withdrawing from the struggle over

of the Navy. He is throwing into the
preparation of his rebuttal of Harold
L. Ickes all the energy and resource
fulness which made him million
aire at 40 and he still thinks he will
win through when the facts are
all in.
The Pauley camp reported their
blood pressure normal following the
sudden attack on the nomination by
Senator Tom Stewart of Tennessee,
a more or less regular Democrat.
Senator Stewart said the party was
seriously split" over the nomination
and that out of common decency"
Mr.. Pauley should withdraw his
name.
The answer to Senator Stewart is
not only Says who?" but according
to the Pauley camp his attack had
been anticipated and discounted in
advance. The Senator was reported
as in a temper with the Truman

administration for some time. He
was said to be angry when Mr.. Tru-
man passed over his and Senator
McKellar's opposition and reap
pointed David Lilienthal as chair
man of the Tennessee Valley Au-
thority. AS one of the elite group
of Southern filibusterers against the
Fair Employment Practices Act, he
has also taken dim view of Mr.
Truman's advocacy of that legis-
lation
His attitude has been, according
to the Hill, that such actions were
about what you could expect from
Mr.. Roosevelt, but that Mr.. Truman
from the fine Southern State of
Missouri hadn't ought to do it.
This does not mean that the
Pauley-ites are undertaking the case
against him-their initial mistake
They realize they lost much ground
in the first days of the hearing when
Mr.. Pauley attended without counsel
and without a plan, having beer
