RIDAY i Washington, June 19.- (WASH " INOTON BUREAU OF THE JOUR- NAL) What officials of the ship- ping board term "the balancing of the fleet.'" which means the adop tion of a new program of govern ment construction of ships of larger tonnage and greater speed, now waits upon the pleasure of congress. Originally It was proposed to ac complish this "balancing," in part 'at leas, by substitution of new types for vessels already under .contract. j That idea is practically abandoned because materials have been so far purchased which will enter into these ships that no very substantia changes ' can. be made fn them. t The shipping board now believes it would be good business' -to use money derived from the sale of ships for new vessels. This will not require new ap propriations, but will require new legis lation by congress. Otherwise money from sales will go into the treasury. J OPPOSITION RESPECTED There will be plenty of opposition to this idea by those who contend that the government should quit building ships as soon as it can, and say that the bultd-S ing of larger and fleeter ships can safely be left to the enterprise of the private builder. . Another divergence of view comes over the question of continued operation of ships by the government for an indef inite period while the eale of ships pro ceeds. Many business men hold that it will not be possible to absorb the ships of the Emergency Fleet corpora- tion for many years, because there is not sufficient private capital ready for the job. They join with Commissioner Stevens, who dissented in part from Chairman Hurley's report, in pointing out that it, is too much to expect that 13,000.000 tons built by the government can be taken over, or even a subtsantlal part of It, by the time the government building program is finished, remem bering that before the war the entire American merchant fleet ran little over 3,000.000 tons. t SHIPS ATTRACTIVE BAIT Chairman Hurley snows that at pres ent earnings, vessels may be hired out i on a basis of capital value of $300 a ' ton. showing: the present value of "spot" "tonnage. He agrees that this demand , mayu not continue Jong, but feels, that 'for some tjme to come the new ships ; will be an attractive bait and that sev-B 'rl hundred -ships may be sold while , the demand is keen. ' ."Since the completion and delivery of a large part of our fleet." hefisays, "will be spaced over 1919, 1920 and the first two months of ,1921. there seems in this .circumstance a sufficient guaranty that our- sales prices will always follow the actual market value closely, and espe cially that no tonnage will be dumped ?on the market at prices below those jus ? tiffed by the economic conditions of the limes- in the ocean carrying trade." 'ATTACKS HURLEY'S .PXABT i '. Chairman Hurley's plan of a mer "chant marine . development fund, which 4s indprsed by Commissioner Donald, is jwtraightway- assailed by Commissioner Stevens as a form of subsidy, which, ,he declares, is especially dangerous, be cause it is proposed to place it in the hands of the shipping board to- admin ister for a vague purpose of "develop ment." Costs and freight rates are too far from normal, he asserts, to say that any kind of subsidy is needed, or what it should be, i Prince Aage Holds Poker Fine Indoor ; Sport; Visits U. S. New York.
