On their be- half I desire to convey to you an ex- pression of the profound sorrow with which the sad news has been received in his native land Helped Win Victory. “Erudite, versatile and endowed with a gift of oratory not surpassed in his day, with an intense and dis- interested love for his motherland, he gave unstintedly of his best to her sérvice in times when the fight for Irish freedom called for the united efforts of our race, In days of gloom &nd trial he pleaded her cause in the highest courts of justice with an elo- quence and conviction that stirred the generous hearts of the American people, and that inepired the enthu- siasm and rekindled the hopes of the Irish leaders and people In a strug- gle that has left such enduring marks in the establishment upon secure foundations of widened bounds of Irish national rights and liberties. Called “Great American.” “His part in the victory which has been achieved will be held in grateful remembrance by generations of the new Ireland which he was privileged to see entering upon the path of in- dependence. “Foremost in the councils of his adopted country, he died as he would have wished, his post—a great American who laid his splendid gifts unreservedly upon her republican al- tar.

COMMITTEE IS AT WORK Rapidly Whipping Into Shape Pro- gram for Complying With Marine Act. Intention of the Shipping Board to continue the operation of all of its lines without change until detailed plans are completed for transfer of its merchant fleet into private hands was announced last night by Chair- man Lasker. “Shippers und passengers have the government's assurance,” he said, “that they need not hesitate to book on government ships; the service will be as in the past—adequate, prompt and regular.” In a statement Mr. Lasker said he had hoped to be able to announce the board’s plan in a general way, leav- ing detalls for future publication, but that it had been decided that an announcement lacking fullest details might lead to misunderstanding. Waits for Mature Plan. “The board has therefore decided that matured plans and details had better be announced simultaneously,” sald Mr. Lasker. “These we hope to have. ready with all elaboration as expeditiously as possible.” Mr. Lasker sald that a committee consisting of Commissioners Lissner, Thompson and Chamberlain had been named to study and prepare detalled plans with a vi to bringing about, without interruption of service, the passage of the government's lines into privateownership, in 8o far as possible, Annocuncement, however, was made that the board intended to recondi- tion four ships—the Mount Vernon. Agamemnon, America and President Buchanan—all of which, together with th Leviathan, now being re- corditloned at Newport News, Va., it jwas stated, will be assigned to the United States Lines. To Make Survey. The Shipping Board, under the merchant marine act of 1920, accord- ing to Mr. Laskers statement, hopes to bring about the passage of the lines and routes operated by the government into private hands, “as mandated by law, with guaranteed obligation that such lines will be maintained for a term of years, thus insuring to ports and shippers con- tinuous service. A committee consisting of Vice Chafrman O'Connor and Commission- crs Benson and Plummer, it was an- nounced, will make a survey of the physical condition of the govern- ment's merchant flect a8 a whole “There is 4 substantial part of the laid-up fleet.” sald Mr. Lasker, “that experts have always maintained can- not be successfully operated in peace time, having been butlt for war neede.” Mr. Lasker Indicated that in liqui- dating the government's sRIDpIng venture the board would act under the preamble of the merchant marine act of 1920, which reads Cites Marine Act. “That it is necessary for the na- tional defense and for the proper growth of its foreign and domestic commerce that the United States shall have a merchant marine of the best equipped and most suitable types of vessels sufficient to carry the greater portion of its commerce and serve as a naval or military auxiliary in time of war or national emergency, uiti- mately to be owned and operated pri- vately by citizens of the United States.” In his statement the Shipping Board chairman reviewed the efforts to have Congress enact legislation providing government ald for operators of American ships, which met death In the recent shelving in the Senate of the administration shipping bill. When that measure was given up &s lost Mr. Lasker began conferences with President Harding as to & liqui- dation policy, and, while no an- nouncement has been made as to de: tailed plans, it has been stated au- thoritatively that the plan would be novel and that it would be put tn effect before the next Congress con- venes, the President having an- nounced he would not renew his recommendation that the shipping bill be enacted. To Comvert Two Ships. Failure of the shipping bill, Mr. Lask- er sald, has made it necesary for the board to attempt to bring about the re- sult contemplated under the merchant marine act. The Agamemnon and the Mount Ver- non, both formerly German liners, will be converted into ofl burners with the expectation that they will beready for service in 1924. Each will have ac- commodations for approximately 900 first and second class and 500 third- class passengers. They are about 700 feet long, with a gross tonnage of about 20,000 tons and have a epeed of 23 knots. Plans for refitting the President Bu- chanan, formerly the President Grant, call for additional bollers, installation of a fuel ofl system and a general over- hauling_of mechanical equipment. The ship will have accomodations for 700 cabin and 1,400 third-class ngers. Bids for the reconditioning of the ident Buchanan will be opened about April 1, while those for the refitting of the America will be opened March 9, The America has been in the service of the United States lines since their in- ception.
