Great Britain recently has strengthened her position in Atlantic trade by purchasing the White Star Line fleet from the International Mercantile an American concern, and British interests are bidding also for the Leyland Line and the Atlantic Transport Line, which are owned by the International Mercantile Marine. This might make possible an arrangement between the International Mercantile Marine and the shipping board, because up to now the I.

Wiil the Government really get out of the shipping business or linger in it indefinitely It begins to look as if the bids recently submitted for the purchase of the United States Lines and the American Merchant Lines, including such vessels as the Leviathan and the George Washington, will not be accepted. All sorts of reasons are being advanced for the rejection of the bids, particularly because of cumbersome provisions relating to mail eontiacts and the alleged insufficiency of price, hut basically is a question of whether the shipping board is prepared to liquidate itself.

For its main activity would be taken away if the ships were sold and there is a school of thought which believes that as ocean tonnage grows more precious the American government ought to be in a position to step in and protect the American shipper against excessive ocean freight rates. Fear Foreign Control There is another school which insists that so long as the government control of shipping is retained and no program for replacement is adopted the manipulation of rates will continue in the hands of foreign ship owners. The shipping hoard has control of approximately of funds, hut cannot buy or build ships with this appropriation. It can only lend to othe companies or individuals who buy or build vessels. If much of this money is used in carrying out the program provided in the present bids, the influence of the -board on the shipping business would he correspondingly diminished in the opinion of some of the independent shipping interests.

FreiKlit Rates Rie Since the Rritish eoal strike theie has been a big shortage of Atlantic shipping because so many vessels have been us.d in direct transportation of fuel to England ami freight rates have gone up sharply. Tins scarcity of ships has held back tne handling of exports of American wheat and cotton and in turn has meant that American producers have been compelled to accept lower prices for their crops since in effect thev pav the fr -ighl. niTI'KH FINF.RAL Funeral services for Harry J.
