SELLING OUR SHIPS. It has taken gome time for congress to detarmine upon a pelicy for dealing with the government owned ships added {5 the eountry's merchant marine during the war, but with the agreement of the coi- farees of the two houses there promiscs 10 be action before closing hour upon the legislation looking to the sale of tae ships. It has been recogmized that the gov- emment should not undertake to com- ®4te with private capital in the owner- ahip and operation of our merchant ves- #els any longer than it Is necessary. That of course means the disposal of the whips and it is the w haw | have been unusually gar | | bungles that lay legislation. According to the measure upon which the conferses heve compromised the will be directed to make to sell the ships in this country. That will mean the retention of them under the American flag. Pro- ~vided, however, those efforts fail it will be permitted to sell them to forelgn in- terests it five of the seven board mem- bers sanction such. This will make it unnecessary for the government to con- nue in the ownership of - vessels for which no home market can be found. Efforts have been made to have the ships. disposed of within a certain time. That of course might have meant dis- posing of them at an unwarranted sac- rifice because a time limit was placed, but by the provision that they shall be disposed of as soon as possible under good business methods good judgment is shown. The idea of insisting upon good business operations in connection with government matters may be new but it is nevertheless sound and it is not likely that the shipping board would sanction the disposition of ships to foreigners which should be retained at home. The important provisions, including the fact that the ships can be chartered until sold indicate that the bill has been at last assembled on good lines. diligent. efforts SUGAR PRICE FIXING. In the majority report of the house committea that has been investigating the price of sugar it is maintained that the action taken by the attorney gemeral regarding the Louisiana crop not only caused the jump in the price of Cuban sugar but that it was in violation of the law The part which Attorney General Pal- mer played in the matter of Louistana sugar amounted to the same thing as price fixing even though he maintains that he did not do any price fixing. When he gave them to understand that would not be prosecuted 1if they ged 17 cents for their sugar he as ich as told them that that is the price they should sell it for. They would good had they not | taken advantage of it. Conditions sur- rounding the Louisiana crop may have been such as to warrant a high figure, ut instead of having it understood that a price should be charged and people therefore should pay that and the additional amounts without be- nz unjustly treated it would have been far more advisable Nad that crop of sugar been purchased and the board taken the loss that might © been necessary. Such iIn the opin- on of no less a food authority than Mr. the way that matter should n handled. As it was, the price set for the Loui- sana crop made it pldin to the Cuban su- raisers that they could boost their ices and rake in a big fat return. Th were not slow to follow and particularly s0 when this country failed to take ad- vantage of its opportunity to buy it Hoover have bee somewhere around six cents a pound. We are now paying an exorbitant price for { the sweet stuff, the supply is apparently g held back to keep that price up and all because of the series of wretched has been made in dealing with this important matter. Whether the attorney general had the authority to do what he did or not we are reaping the results of it. RUSSIA'S EFFORTS, is quite natural that there should in the conferences which special Russian commis- ade, is having with British i and the effort that he making to bring about trade resumptions with the allied nations.
