PLAN T0 LIQUIDATE SHIPS S DISEUSSED President and Lasker Confer, { But Withhold Details of Proposal. MAY SELL ALL VESSELS Contracts of Sale Will Require Present Routes Be Main- tained Some Years. the administration has determined to adopt under the merchant marine law as an incident to the failure of the shipping bill. A definite plan, Mr. Lasker said. probably would be passed upon by the full board this week and given approval by the Presldent. He de- clined to divulge details, but empha- sized the necessity for speedy adopt- that it is known that the shipping bill is not to go through. Plan Presumably “Radical.” Presumably the plan under consid- eration and described by Chairman Lasker as a “radical” departure from the present policy of the board, will embrace the effort of the administra- tion “to end the losses in liquidation and humiliation” forecast by Presi- dent Harding in a recent message to Congress as the alternative to failure of the government aid bill. This ef- fort, Mr. Harding promised, would be carried out by the government “as best it can” under the circumstances. In an earlier message at the open- ing of the special session last Novem- iber the President declared that the only three possible courses open were passage of the bill extending aid, a continuance of present losses, or, finally, a ‘“sacrifice of our ships jabroad or the scrapping of them at home, the surrender of our aspira- tions and the confession of our im- potence to the world in general, and our humiliation before the competing world in particular.” The statement made by Chairman Lasker was intrepreted in some quar- ters as meaning that the-administra- tion had decided to liquidate as soon as possible the government's venture in the merchant marine, and in doing 50 to take full advantage of the mer- chant marine act of 1920. WAl Sell Vessels, This act would permit the board to sell at a merely nominal price ships now being operated on established routes. The sale would be under an agreement to maintain the route for a term of years. Such action, it was sald, would get the government out of the shipping business and at the same time tend to build up a private- ly-owned merchant marine. The section of the act of 1920, which it is generally considered would be most helpful in building up a mer- chant marine is that directing abro- gation of commercial treaties which prevent the United States from placing _discriminatory dutles on goods carried in foreign ships. Presidents Wilson and Harding both refused to carry out that section, but Chairman Lasker has persistently favored it. Bury Bill Today. @ The administration shipping bill will be finally laid aside in the Senate this afternoon for the present session, it was expected when the Senate miet today. = The first motion voted upon will be to recommit. This motion, offered by Senator Robinson from Arkansas, probably will be defeated.” Senator Ladd of North Dakota will then, move to take up the bill to prohibit filled milk in interstate commerce, and it is expected that his motion will prevail This will displace the shipping bill as the unfinished business of the:Senate. It is not expected that the ship bili will come up again before adfourn- ment. The Senate spent the first four hours of its session today considering bills on its calendar.

WOULD PAY BACK RENT Action on Matter Will Be .Taken at Committee Meeting Tomorrow. A meeting of the Senate committee on public buildings and grounds has Fernald of Maine, chairman of the committee, to discuss two proposals for maintenance of the government hotels on the Union station plaza, Senator Fernald announced today The committee chairman was in con- ference this afternoon with repre- sentatives of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad and Robert Watson, director of the United States Housing Cor- poration. The two proposals submitted by C. H. Moran, real estate agent of the rallroad company, involve payment of back rents on the property since No- vember 14, 1922, and fixing of future rentals and a sales propositiom. The railroad company. owner of the property . on which several of the bulldings of the government hotels project are located, served notice on the Secretary of Labor ten days ago that the property must be vacated by April 1. Since that time aroused by the pos- | sibility that the 1800 government workers living at the hotels might be ousted, two separate government agencies have been at work attempt- ing to reach-an agreement with the railroad company to retain use of the land. The land which is requested by the rallroad company to be vacated is occupled by the most important build- i ings in the entire hotel project. —_— WAGE CASE GOES OVER.
