This announcement, made yesterday, marks another phase of the graduzl abandonment by the Government of the shipping business. . Progress is being made in negotia- tions for the sale of the American Re- publics Line, a cargo service to South America from the Atlantic seaboard, with 14 ships totaling 116,000 tons, and the Guif-Mediterranean Line, with 10| vessels with a total tonnage of 79,000. Will Cut Fleet to 15 Lines. ‘The sale of these four lines will re- duce the Shipping Board’s fleet to 15 lines and 162 ships. At the end of the World War the fleet operating under the Shipping Board consisted of 2,536 ships with a total tonnage of 14.706.217. The sale negotiations under way led to predictions by Shipping Board offi- cials that its entire fleet will be sold within two years. Then the board's functions will revert to a regulatory ca- pacity with jurisdiction over rate agree- ments between shipping lines for do- mestic traffic and the administration of the $250,000,000 construction loan | fund. The fleet of the Shipping Board was started in 1916, and since that time approximately 0. expended by the board in const and operating its huge group of ve X Guarantee Specified. Now only cargo services remain under the board's operation. Its last pas- senger seivice, the United States Lines, including the transatlantic liner Levia- than, was sold recently to P. W, Chap- man & Co. for $16,300,000. The re- maining cargo services, except the four lines_expected to be sold soon, mainly are lines operating from the Pacific Coast to Australia and from the Gulf to Europe. Under the terms of the sale of the America-France Line and the American Diamond Lines the board specified that a guarantee of five years’ operation of those services must bs maintained by | the purchasers. The America-France Line operates between North Atlantic ports and France and the American Diamond Lines between North Atlantic rts and Bolland and Belgium. 1315. NEW YORK AVE.
