Washington, N 23—Outstanding facts in the Mexican situation today were these: Colonel Sibley's four cavalry troops which "entered Mexico nearly weeks ago in pursuit of the Glenn Springs and Boquillas bandit raid- ers back at the border without casualties, having penetrated 186 miles. They rescued two Americans held prisoners by the bandits and brought back five Mexican prisoners.

Press.) Washington, May 18.—In finding inadequate the present administration shipping bill for the creation of an | effective merchant marine, the Nation- al Foreign Trade Council in a report | submitted yesterday to congress de- i : clared that the proposed $50,000,000 | bond issue for a fleet of ships to make | this country’s trade independent of | foreign shipping would be far too | small and that from $520,000,000 | $1,040,000,000 would be nearer ! mark. The report further held that until a | definite federal shipping policy was | adopted much like tnat in force in | BEngland, investors would be disin- | clined to embark in such a venture. | The main proposal advanced by the council advocates the creation of a | non-partisan shipping board com- prised of men experienced in shipping | ana foreign trade and unchained to any policy seeking government owner- ship or operation, or any wholesale | regulation of ocean freight rates. The council says its report is based on a thorough investigation of existing conditions directed by the council’s | merchant marine committee com- | prised of James A. Farrell, president | of the U. S. Steel corporation; Rob- ert Dollar, export merchant and ship- | owner of San Francisco, and P. A. S. | Franklin, vice president of the Inter- national Mercantile Marine company. Three Chief Objects. The three chief objects of a truly | national shipping policy, says the re- | port, “should permit and encourage the development of a merchant fleet | discharging the following functions: | first, to increase the national ir | come and domestic prosperity through greater facilities for the sale abroad of products of the soil and industry of the United States, through the impor- tation of materials indispensable to life and industry and through the freights collected from world com- merce; second, to maintain under the flag, communication with distant possessions; and third, to aid the na- tional defense and maintain commerce during the war whether the United States be belligerent or neutral.” After an analysis of the amount and character of tonnage necessary to serve American foreign commerce he- fore the European war, the council in its report reaches the conclusion that “with the $50,000,000 derived from the proposed bond issue not more than 600,000 gross tons of shipping can be provided at existing prices or less than one-tenth of the minimum amount necesary to establish the United States in the position sought. Nothing like 600,000 gross tons is available from the few nations which, during the war, permit alienation of their merchantmen vessels. American shipyards will not guarantee deliver- ies of new contsruction within two vears. Rear Admiral Benson has tes- tified that the utmost the navyyards can guarantee ,if assured prompt de- liveries of materials is six 10,000 ton ships in two years.” On the assumption that the car- riage of 60 per cent. of American foreign commerce in American ves- sels render thi§ country independent, and in view of the fact that in 1915 1,871,643 tons of American shipping carried 14.3 per cent. of the total foreign commerce, the committee es- timates that between 6,000,000 and 10,000,000 gross tons of shipping would be required. And at the pre- vailing rate of construction before the war of $50 a ton and of $100 a ton the present rate, it was found the final costs would be between $520,000,000 and $1,040,000,000. Country Without Policy. “In what situation,” asks the re- port, “does capital find itself when urged gradually to finance, at a cost of between onc-half billion and a billion dollars, the construction of 6,000,000 to 10,000,000 tons of steam- ships? TFirst of all, it finds this coun- try without a definite shipping policy Whereas in England all policy, gov- ernmental and commercial, has long leaned toward shipping, American policy has ignored it.” The Seamen’s Act is declared to ‘“impose certain restrictions on American vessels which do not apply to certain other nations,” and the pending shipping bill is held to he “barren of en- couragement for privately owned shipping.” The council adds: “It is not yet apparent whether the legislative mind desired to consider shipping as an industry which, when properly developed, will render econ- ! omical service to American foreign | trade, or as a service which should be so regulated as barely to exist.” The report finds that the Seamen’s Act assumed to preclude discrimina- tion between American and foreign vessels, is only operative where those ships sail from American ports, and | points out that the great number of | foreign ships not touching our ports i | to the will have a distinct advantage over American ships forced by the nature of trade condition “to live on the odd legs of the circuitous voyage necessary to avoid return in ballast.” | The report finds that the greater American marine will bhe dependent upon tramp steamers because the | tonnage of exports is about double that of imports necessitating the manoeuvring of cargo vessels “all over the map in order to obtain re- | turn cargoes.” In favoring the creation of a non- partisan shipping hoard, the council is opposed to that board being “chained” to any predetermined pol- jcy of government ownership or oper- ation of vessels or the wholesale regu- lation of ocean freight rates.
