Records Showing
Loss Held Up by
Shipping Board
Letter Advising Lasker Not
to Bare Statements Bead
Before House Investi
gating Committee.
Washington. May 21.—Refusal of
Chairman T^asker of the shipping
hoard to furnish data requested by a
member of the house merchant
marine committee in 1921 was in
quired into today by the house ship
ping board committee.
With I). B. Morrison, assistant, to
the general comptroller of the board,
on the stand, Representative Da\is,
democrat, Tennessee, had read inio
the record of letter from Tt. It.
Montgomery, a special assistant for
Tasker, advising him against supplj •
lng the data which had been compiled
by Morrison.
"In view of the statements made
by you (Tasker) yesterday and today
to the appropriation committee of
the house," said the letter, "I do not
think you should make public the
•tatements herewith.’’
The statements showed a loss in
operations from July I, 1920. to April
30, 1921, of $241,000,000, Including de
preciation. Montgomery claimed they
were incorrect, hut Morrison denied
they were , inaccurate.
Montgomery, according to Morri
son. was a. member of a New York
auditing firm to which the board paid
more than $200,000 for auditing its
books.
In a letter dated July 30, 1921, to
Representative Briggs, democrat,
Texas, who asked for the Infor
mation, Tasker was quoted as having
•aid:
”1 have looked over the data which
has been prepared for you and find
it so incomplete and in most cases so
misrepresentative of the actual situa
tion that I do not feel it fair to you
or the shipping board to forward It
to you."
The letter added that ijasker would
be glad to furnish the data when a
report could be compiled by Mont
gomery.
