The senate this afternoon adopted Senator Harding's resolution for investigation of the ship ping situation. Senator Fletcher, chair man of the commerce committee, an nounced the-investigation would begin at once. Tho shipping tangle was brought be fore congress wheu Senator Harding, Ohio, demanded a congressional inves tigation of the whole situation. "It is a crime that entanglements of red tape and inefficiency should bo al lowed to interfere with our shipbuild ing program," Harding declared. ' ' Winning of the war depends on ships. I think it's time congress went into the wholo situation to find out why we can't get a merchant marine to fit our needs. I think, an efficient shipping board could give us such a merchant marine." "We have appropriated billions," said Harding, "but instead of getting ships, we have seen the passing of Goethals, Denman, Capps and now Har ris. ' ' I am deeply impressed with the fail ure of the shipping board to measure up to this great emergency. "The winning of the war depends on our strength on the sea. We must have an adequate merchant marine. What's the use of raising and equipping a great army if we can't supply them?" "It's a crime that tho money placed at the disposal of the shipping board should have been illy handled; that all efficiency should have Deen lost iu interminable red tape. "It will' add materially to tho mo rale of the people and the army if they, knew there is strength and effi ciency in this body. ' ' There may be something more than red tape behind the present situation, and I should like an investigation or dered before the holidays." Harding first suggested the com merce committee bring in an investi gation resolution. - Senator Fletcher, chairman, did not adopt the sugges tion, whereupon Harding introduced a resolution. "All I want to know," said he, is why, when we provide money for ships we'don't get ships. - I Vb talked with three men who have been connected with the shipping board nnd all have told me their hands were tied. " . ! Senator John Sharp Williams said the investigation would bo wise. !
