FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1920. 1HE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND. OREGON. U. S DEPARTMENT 11 E URGED BY BUS NESS MEN . By Robert J. Bender i (United , Nam Staff Correspondent) .Washln&rtonNov. 26. A new "de , partment of commerce and marine" to embrace under one cabinet , head the present "department of foreign and domestic commerce" and the United States shipping: board, has been recommended to President Elect Harding for consideration!. Among- those soonsorlns: the Idea is Kdward N. Hurley, formerly chairman of tne federal trade commission and chair man of the United States shipping? board during: the war. A number of other prominent .business men In both parties' have united In suggestions to the same end. The idea, involved in the recom mendation is to coordinate the i two agencies to prevent overlapping of effort ana commensurate waste. WEAKNESS POINTED OUT ' Soon after Hurley's appointment by President Wilson to the shipping board h voiced the need of a more-closely knit organization with more direct connec tion with the cabinet and the president. He is understood at that time to have recommended that eventual consolida tion of the department of commerce and the shipping board would be the best solutipn of the problem. But Jn the rush of war work, no steps to that end were taken. Revelations developed from the probe or uie shipping board, now being con ducted by a congressional committee. show how loosely the shipping board is now drawn and how out of- touch Its ramifications are with the executive branch of the government. As it stands it is a reservoir from which poMticat aebta. can be piped out almost without end. And as such it is held by many leaders in both parties, as well as re sponsible business men, to be a danger ous institution to any administration. THREE ADVANTAGES SEEN Those suggesting the combining of the present commerse department and the shipping board stress three fundamental points: I . First Much of the data complied by the department of commerce is vital to the shipping board and vice versa.! The two departments from now on, particu larly, will be functioning to much, the same end. Duplication of effort could and should be eliminated, with the iensu ant saving In cost to the government.
