The
Policy to Put U S Shipping Board on Business Basis
Washington D C June 10 plans of the administration concerning the shipping board were outlined today in high official quarters for the first time since the appointment of the new members with A D Lasker of Ohio as chairman. Necessity for cooperation with commercial interests was stressed in view of what is described as virtual paralysis of American shipping and the shipping board rather than to proceed on unordered routing and maintain shipping routes to every quarter of the globe irrespective of U S commercial needs. The object of the new administration will be to place the corporation on a strictly business basis. It was said this will mean to begin with charging off to the war the heavy losses sustained by the government since the corporation's inception. Confidence in the future of the American merchant marine was expressed by Rear Admiral Benson on the eve of his retirement as chairman. The new organization, of which he will be a member, will be effected Monday.
