Br the Associated Press NEW YORK, April 24 Former United States Senator William M ‘alder told members of the Propeller Club at a luncheon vesterday that the Government had wasted a billion | and a half dollars on the construction f shipping after the armistice and was now operating at a loss which implied no commensurate benefit to American shipper ‘From carrying 90 per cent of our own products to forelgn countries in 1810, America’s shipping engaged in foreign trade fell to 10 p cent in ! 1910,” safd Senator Calder “The World War changed this some. We created 10,000,000 tons of American vessels. We have tried to operate this Government-owned fleet. Government operation, while perhaps in some trade routes cutting down the rates to the shipper, in the main has brought great losses to the Govern ment, with little or no correspdhding advantage to Americans engaged in | foreign trade.” MUSSOLINI REPORTED TO BE WRITING PLAY Premier’s Three-Act “Gentlemen, Begin,” May Be Presented in New York in Fall, By the Associated Press.
