RCHANT MARINE BREACH WIBENED ouse Bill Opposes That in : Senate by Favoring Pri- vate Operation. Wy the Associated Press The breach between the two houses Congress over methods of strength- ng and maintaining the American gwerchant marine has widened per- fgeptibly with the introduction in the ouse of a bill designed to promote E:-mu- operation of the merchant fleet contrast to the Jones bill passed by the Senate contemplating continued ‘Government control. The House measure, sponsored by Chairman White of the merchant ma- rine committee, proceeds upon the assumption, he said, that the American people prefer private operation and are 'willing to pay reasonable amounts” to bring it about and that the Government must offset “existing original cost and operating differentials ainst lhe\ American ship in foreign trade.” Would Liberalize Loan Funds. White's measure proposed the lib- eralization of the construction loan funds and would empower the Shipping Board to contract for private main- tenance of lines hamdling American agricultural and industrial products at | a price cqual to present operating | losses. It would authorize the Post- master General to contract for carry- ing the mail on a “graduated ccale, based primarily upon speed.” sels | built to maintain maximum rates for speed would have to be approved by the Becretary of the Navy as auxiliary ships in war. A fourth provis *meet higher wages and standards on American shi) build up a naval reserve. Would Get Navy Pay. | Men in the Naval Reserve in active | merchant marine service would be paid | by the Navy at a rate not exceeding | six and one-half months' base pay of | corresponding ranks in the Regular Navy. The measure also would estab- | lish” an insurance fund to provide a | Jower rate for American vessels. ' White in a statement explaining the bill made no reference to its having administration approval. He deciared that while the measure was designed to foster private operation. it also “ex- | pressly reaffirms” the authority of the board to maintain routes. The bill dif- fers materially from the Jones measure | passed by the Senate, which wouid re- | al,me unanimous approval by the poard | sell any ship line. The Jones bill | also contemplates reconditioning of fhe | nt merchant fleet, compared with | te’s proposal to build new fast ships | as naval auxiliary reserves. | = 3 PLANS FOR EX-SOLDIERS. | U. S.
