ERMANENT POLICY URGED Creation of Great Corporation to Operate Government - Owned Vessels Is Recommended. WASHINGTON, Nov. 3. Predictions that ships flying the American flag will almost equal the tonnage of Great Britain by the end of 1920 were made in the senate today by Senator Jones, republican of "Washington, chairman of the senate commerce committee, in introducing his bills proposing alternative plans for a per manent federal shipping policy. Both bills were referred to the commerce committee for future consideration. With prospective completion of the government's war shipbuilding pro gramme by December 31, 1920, Sena tor Jones said the United States, in cluding coastwise vessels, will have a mighty fleet of about 18,000,000 tons, nearly equal to that of Great Britain, and, he added, the two nations will control about two-thirds of the world's tonnage. We do not desire, and it is not our purpose, to drive other nations off the sea," said Senator Jones, "but we do want to do, and we ought to do. at least our proportionate part of our own and the worlds carrying trade so that our commerce shall have a fair chance in the world's markets and that we may hereafter be fully prepared for any emergency." Federal Intereat Bis One. Kegarding the government's future shipping policy Senator Jones said about 8,000,000 of the 12,000, OuO tons under- the American flag in foreign trade will be government-owned. "We may differ about government ownership," he said, "but that can b no issue here. The government own these ships, whether we will or not We must not allow private parties to take the cream of this shipping and let the government hold the balance to dispose of at a great sacrifice Grant that government ownership should end as soon as may be, it must be brought about as nearly as may be without unnecessary sacrifice. "No one can reasonably hope that private enterprise and capital, in th face of foreign competition and han dicapped by our own inexperience, will be able to absorb and take over all this shipping in a short while." Senator Jones also contended that unless private capital can take over the plant constructed by the govern ment at Camden, N. J., and now oper ated through the New York Ship building company, it should be re tained and used for the construction of the large ships for which there are no other facilities. Huge Corporation Urged. In explanation of his bill to create WAQHWfiTnW nnilMTY RIP.Hia mighty marine corporation under lumber for Algoa Bay, ia short one man to complete her crew and will be ready to sail aa soon as her complement is lull. COOS BAT, Or., Nov. S. Special. ) The steamship City of Topeka was the only vessel appearing here today and came in from Portland at 9:30 this morn ing.

The steamer Defiance arrived from San Francisco Sunday noon and Is loading at the E. K. Wood mill. The steamer Carlos, due to clear today. Is waiting for favorable weather to put to sea. The Carlos loaded at the Dono van mill. The French steamer C-48, here on ac count of engine trouble, will clear tomor row, weather permitting. TACOMA, Wash.. Nov. 8. (Special.) Wireless reports received by the head office of the Osaka Shosen Kaisha at Tacoma today said that the Malay Maru sailing from here Saturday had broken an air pump and was putting back to Vic toria where repairs would be made. The Malay at the time was wallowing In a gale, 150 miles off the coast. She was due in Victoria tonight. Reports from the Himalaya, Just ahead of the Malay, stated she was encountering terrific weather and bad been forced to jettison a quantity of cotton which she had on deck. This cotton was a portion of the vessel's cargo which was on fire while the steamer was In New York and had been placed on deck for the remainder of the home ward voyage. The Cathlamet, under the management of . W. R. Grace & Co., is due here from the builders yards tomorrow night to load a full cargo of flour for the east coast. The vessel will take around 9tk0 tons from Tacoma mills. With a full cargo of general freight from Tacoma, the Javary of the Garland line. Captain Polndexter. will sail tomor row for Shanghai and Hankow. The ves sel. In her freight outward, has a large amount of old iron scrap. Cigarettes and leaf tobacco make up the remainder of the cargo.

The vessel Is being looked after by George Bush & Co. Word has not Keen received here advls Ing whether the steamship President will call here Wednesday this week or not, While there is some freight at the docks for the south a barge might be used to haul it to Seattle and transfer it in to the PreFident.

She will start loading at the Puget sound mills and complete taking cargo at the other mills. The steamship Northwestern, with ore from Alaska, arrived at the amelter today to discharge. Dispatches received in Tacoma from Washington. D. C. today quote officials of the board as predicting that several of the Seattle shipbuilding yards will shut down on January 1 after their contracts on which they are working are completed. Operations at the shipyards at L-os An geles which were closed down by the strike at the same time the Tacoma yards were shut down, have . been resumed on an "open shop" basis following the presen tatlon of a petition by 2o00 workmen ask ing that they be allowed to return to work on the old basis which prevailed be fore the strike. Shipping board officials have told the members of the congressional delegation at Washington, D. C, that there is little likelihood of the Todd yard at Tacoma opening even under this basin. Most of the Todd office force In Ta coma has been discharged and the skilled men brought here from the east have Deen returned while others have been privately told by the management that they had better seek work elsewhere as the yard would shut down indefinitely. Most the expert shipbuilders have already left the city for the east and hundreds other workers have gone into other lines.

It was intended to be a great regulatory governmental agency and is, in fact, doing the work of a great corporation. It cannot well serve both ends. What I propose is to di vorce the shipping board entirely from building, selling or operating ships and allow It to do the things it was created to do, and create a cor poration separate and independent of it to operate, maintain and dispose of our ships in such a way as to give us an adequate and mighty marine od a permanent basis. 622,095 Total DAILY METEOROLOGICAL REPORT.
