Future of U. S.
Marine at Stake,
Says Steel Head
(James A. Farrell Advises
! Charter of Government Ships
To Individuals at Foreign
Trade Council Meet.
Cleveland, O., May 6. In an ad
dress on "American Maritime Pol
icy" at the National Foreign Trade
council convention, James A. Fr.r
rell 6f New York, chairman of the
1 council and president of the United
States Steel corporation, today told
the delegates the future of Ameri
can merchant marine development
is at stake, that the government lost
$800,000,000 by not selling its mer
chant fleet when the armistice was
signed, suggested an international
conference to stabilize the shipping
situation, recommended the charter
ing of the government fleet to in
dividuals, either on a bare boat basis
or on time cargo, and advocated a
revision of American shipping laws.
"It is the duty of all Americans
to prcent the elimination of our
overseas fleet from the world's car
rying trade," said Mr. Farrell.
Cannot Be Absorbed.
Of the present marine situation he
said: x
"Even with a temporary improve
ment in ocean freights the world's
idle tonnage cannot, be absorbed
under three years. Approximately
7,000,000 tons of the world's carry
ing capacity is laid up out of a total
of 60,000,000 tons (of which 5,000,000
tons is still under construction).
"It might serve a useful purpose
to ourselves and to the world to
bring about an international con
ference of maritime nations to sta
bilize the shipping industry on the
theory that one part of the world
cannot be crippled economically
while the rest is prosperous.
"It is time to recognize, the fact
that the policy of the shipping board

R.F.D..
.since its inception ot endeavoringMo
build up rade routes from every At
lantic, Gulf and Pacific port to prac
tically every port in the world is ex
pensive, and impracticable. .! ,
"Until trade revives and opportun
ity exists for obtaining a fair sales
price for the fleet, an early retire
ment of the shipping board and
liquidation of its shipping busiuCSi
seems impracticable.
"A partial solution of one of the
difficulties confronting the shipping
board is to continue to lay up. a
considerable portion of their tonnage.
and in Jti-je with the slogan less gov
ernment in business, more business
in government.' withdraw from all
but supervisory activity by charter
ing the steamers to reputable and c.v
pcrienccd operators.
"The main factor in determining
whether we can compete successfully
with foreign tonnage lies largely in
our shipping laws. The latter are
not only strangling our ocean going
ships, but are affecting the "carriers
on the Great Lakes."

, into smitherincs in a single instant
would.be the result it we went, to
war against America, not to support
.some rights of our own, but in
order to help the Japanese," the
newspaper continued, ,
"If the people of Australia and
New Zealand were asked on which
side they were going to be; in a war
between America and Japan, they
would not hesitate a second. They
would not waste time in., reading
diplomatic papers or considering
legal points. They would say:
" 'With our own flesh and blood. If
the poor, old mother country has
gone mad we cannot help it. Help
the Japanese to take San Francisco

"There could be only one place

would have the same answer."
