LONDON, June 20.—In what he term- ed a frank statement of the American position in the shipping worid, Wil- liam J. Love, vice president of the United States Shipping Board, told Boy brother: Scout oftic like to colleg men - in British shipping leaders at a luncheon given by the European ship board of- ficials today that it was the intention of the President, the administration and he believed the will of the Ameri- can people to become firmly establish- ed on the high seas. Such was the in- evitable evolution produced by the world war. Declares American Policy. The American policy, he declared, would be one of live and let live. The pioneering and exploring period of the United States would last a decad. if at the end of that time she wa not successful, she must admit she is not a maritime nation and bow to the nations which have been seafaring for hundreds of vears. “We have ships, cargo and deter- mination,” he added. “We shall make mistakes and painful blunders, but will progress with time. Reviewing the growth of Ameri- can shipping, Mr. Love said that dur- ing the war the commercial section of the shipping board was constantly in deht for tonnage to one country or anther. If it had not been for the tonnage loaned by Great Britain and that obtained from Scandinavia and Holland, together with seized enemy tonnage, he could only imagine what the outcome would have been. Admits He Is Recent Convert. He describes himself as a recent convert to the policy of subventions. He would be surprised and disap- pointed if the subsidy bill now under consideration in the United States did not become law before he re- turned. Whether this would prove a panacea he could not say, but he believed it would be an incentive to the establishment of services aiding exporters and importers of both coasts during good as well as bad times. —_— FOUR KILLED BY TRAIN.

Ulster Has Prison Shi The former United States Shipping Board vessel Argenta has been re- fitted as a prison ship in which to confine the Sinn Feiners captured by | the Ulster government in its recent round-up. Six hundred cubicles or cells have been built, wire netting being used extensively, and the vessel, which will be stationed in Belfast Lough, will be ready soon. The Argenta was one of ten wooden ships laid up in British ports by the Shipping Board on completion of their only vovage from America to Eng- land. After being laid up in Holy Loch, Scotland, she was sold to Ger- man interests and later bought by a Belfast firm acting as the agent of Ufster government. The greatest secrecy has surrounded her transformation into a prison ship, as the Ulster officials feared attempts would be made to burn her if the news leaked out. Accommodations for the .prisoners are provided on the flush deck, run- ning for half the length of the ship. The compartments are divided by steel wire netting and will have elec tric fans for air renewal. Iron bunks are provided, with wire springs and mattresses of straw.
