WEWSHIPPIWG BOARD
Chairman Held General Man
ager of Exports.
FOREIGN TRADER WANTED
roshlon Is Declared to Need Man
Capable of Finding Markets
Rather Than Sailor.
BY MARK SULLIVAN'.
(Coprrlcht br th New Tork Evenlnir Post,
Ino- Publlnhed by ArrannmenL)
WASHINGTON. D. C. April 20.
The three men whom President Hard
in ir Is nubliclv credited with hav
ing considered for the position of
chairman of the shipping: board are
James A. Farrell of the United States
steel corporation. Walter C. Teagle of
the Standard Oil company, ana Aiei
ander R. Legge of the International
Harvester company.
It will be observed that no one of
these men Is primarily a shipping
man. Kach is a man whose experi
ence and ability Is in the line of sell
ing American goods In foreign mar
kets. Farrell grew up In the export
steel business; Teagle's experience
has been largely In the export of oil.
end Legge's In the selling of Ameri
can farm Implements In Russia and
ether foreign countries.
This reflects something that is not
only In President Hardings mind aa
respects the shipping board, but is
a part of the widest and most fun
damental business policy of the new
administration. President Harding is
seeking for the shipping board not
a sailor, but a merchant, a man of
large administrative and merchandis
ing ability, who has knowledge ana
experience of international markets
and who understands commerce in all
its phases.
Export Manager Wanted.
The theory is that whoever shall
be chairman of the shipping board
shall regard himself as, so to speak,
general manager of the export busi
ness of the United States in all its
phases. The actual management of
ships will be but a subordinate inci
dent of his job. He is to look at the
world as a whole and consider how
the surplus of goods produced In the
United States over the needs of our
own people- can best be marketed.
This is a conception of the shipping
board and its chairmanship wbich has
not hitherto prevailed.. In the past
the position has been looked upon
-as purely a shipping one. The pres
ent chairman of the board is an ad
miral and all the previous chairmen
except one have been admirals or
men otherwise chosen for their
knowledge of shipping alone.
Tank Declared Hard.
The law does not make it easy for
President Harding to carry out his
ideas. The conception of the law un
tier which the shipping board non
functions was that the purpose of the
board should be to develop our ports.
Having that conception in mind, the
reason was that in many cases the
law was given a sectional turn, and
looks to the seven member of the
boArd being chosen from various sec
tions of the country, so that each can
look jealously after the Interests of
his local ports. It is certain, how
ever, that President Harding's con
ception of the shipping board and
Its chairman as the custodians not
merely of ships or of ports, but of
America's whole exportable surplus,
will prevail.
This picture of the business policy
of the administration cornea up again
and again. It Is shown in our pass
ing the Colombian treaty In order to
create good will for our oil Interests
In Latin America; it is shown in
Hoover's leadership of co-operation
among American business men for
foreign trade.
Exports fa Be Aided.
It is shown In the resurrection of
the war finance corporation for the
purpose of facilitating exports. It Is
shown in the fact that the greatest
vehemVace of manner which Presi
dent Harding showed in his recent
address to congress came when he
expressed the determination that the
United States shall have a mercantile
marine adequate to its share in the
foreign trade of the world.
Policy, !n Its working out, will have
historic consequences too large to be
dealt with In this space.

there will be no settlement of the

wronged Colombia In the partition of
Panama. It was one event In a se
quence connected with the building of
the Panama canal, and what was
characterized by its proponents as
"the taking of the isthumus by Tfeo-
dore Roosevelt while congress de
bated."
Those who urged ratification
charged that when Panama revolted
from Colombian rule, American naval
forces prevented Colombia from re
covering her lost territory.
Those who opposed ratification
charged Colombia had long been en
gaged in trying to "hold up" the
United States for a large sum of
money for a canal route and that
Panama revolted from Colombia rule
for Just cause.
In the wrangle which has -lasted
over many , years few facts seem to
be uncontroverted. It does seem un
disputed, however, that President
Roosevelt negotiated a treaty with
Colombia by which the United States
obtained the right of the old French
canal company to build the canal,
with a cash payment of $10,000,000
and an annual payment of $250,000.
The treaty was ratified by the United

ate refused to accept it.

D Lessepa, Frencn canal builder,
had spent millions of dollars and
thousands of lives in efforts to build
the canal and the project was the
world's dream for two centuries.
On November 3, 1903, Panama re
volted. A small American naval force,
less than 60 men. the record says, was
landed to protect Americans. Ten
days later the United States recog
nized Panama, guaranteed her Inde
pendence and later made the treaty
by which the canal zone was ceded
to the United States and the canal
was built.

MARITAL- TROUBLE RECALLED
Cudahy Factor in Sensational Af

KANSAS CITT, Mo., April 19. The
marital differences of Jack Cudahy,
who committed suicide In Los Angeles
today, and his wife, who was Miss
Edna Cowin, daughter of General J. C.
Cowin of Omaha, Neb., attracted con
siderable interest during the 14 years
the family lived here. The Cudahyo
left in 1914 for California.
Cudahy was general manager of his
father's packing plant here during
the family's residence In Kansas City.
He was married in Omaha, December
28, 1899. On March 6, 1910, Cudahy
figured in a sensational episode.
Police summoned to the Cudahy
home late at night by Mrs. Cudahy
found Jere Lillis, a local banker,
lying on the floor bound with ropes
and severely slashed. Cudahy and his
chauffeur were in the room. To the
police Cudahy said Lillis had wrecked
his home. Lillis recovered and Cud
ahy was not prosecuted.
Several days later relatives an
nounced that a separation had taken

time from Michael Cudahy, father of
Jack, and that a trust fund of 100.0(h)

The court alo provided that the cus

and Mrs. Michael Cudahy.
Mrs. Jack Cudahy left Kansas City
several days later, accompanied by
the children. In Chicago she an
nounced that the children had disap

started.
Several months afterward It was
announced that they had been fouml
