THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, WEDN:SDAY, DEC. 7 1927, UNITED STATES | LAGBINGBEHIND | | BUILDING SHIS America Outclassed Not Only in Tonnage but in Service (Centinued from Page One.) we likely to get the less desir- able classes of cargo—the com- modities invariably handled by slow ships and with low freizht rates.” Board's Possessions The board possessed 800 ships, 307 in active qperation and. 516 laid up, at the end of the year. Since 1921 it has sold to Ameri- can citizens 1,134 ships, represent- ing 4,993,346 tons, for $84411, 023.39, including nine- established ship line services disposed of on .a basis of “guaranteed operation for a fixed number of years. It Congress wants the merchant marine turnad over immediataly 4 to private ownership, substantial government aid will be required, the report said.. After holding hearings in 33 cities it found opinion ~ unanimous that the United States should have an ade- quate merchant marine for na- tlonal defensa and commerce. With almost equal® unanimity it was held that this merchant ma-i rine should be privately owned. Until it is possible for private in- terests to successfully own and _operate an American marins, the federal government must continue to do so, the hoard concluded. Encourage Ship Building\ Among the impertant functions of the board was the encourage- ,ment of ship building. From the ‘construction loan fund the board has paid out $10,467,600 to asxist steamship companies in the con- struction of new bottoms. The fund now totals $72,5652,652.25. From the beginning of the ad- ministration of the fund, it was emphasized, there has not bcen a default in connection with any of the loans in the payment either of the interest or of Innzallmenw .on the principal. Cost of maintaining cargo lines, while materially reduced, continu- ed to show a loss, although a! number of vessels were sold to! . private interests during the year. The board pointed outythat while the operating loss was lowered $3,000,000 trade in Shipping Board | | vessels expanded materially, plac- ,ing"the American flag in overy lmpommc port in the world (or ! the, first time 1n 75 years. The board declared that while; every means avaflable was ‘being used for the expansion of Ameri- can. trade in American ships, the country’s merchant fleet was be- ing outclassed by foreign com- petitors, and that government aid was the only logical method to | jthis afternoon in the U. { which overcome the lead being taken by _ other countries. | AT THE HOTELS | .‘————'—‘——-‘"""—.

By mampulamw Ius lips, check and tongue, Senator du Pont controls that “noise” so as to form ‘words. The larynx ‘was first severed from the windpipe. The upper| end of the windpipe was then brought forward, piercing the | throat. It communicates directly with the outer air. ? A rubber tube is held over the windpipe by straps and leads | up to the mechanical device which takes the place of the| human vocal cords, Air forced from the lungs cduses vibra- | tions in the instrument, and these vibrations, earried to the mouth, are then turned into words by the mcans referred to. l ] i l i 1 Special on Children’s COATS ALL WOOL TAILORED COAT in green and tan checks, two pockets and balt, Suitable for girls or boys.
