WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.—It is per- bape fortunate the controvers} over the proposed sale of the thirty former German ships has arisen. te bring directly to the notice of Con- grees the desirability of immediately taking up The Evening World’s con- tention that the way to reduce the impending overwhelming Treasury deficit, sure to result from a Govern- ment policy of keeping the country on & war basis, instead of placing expen- ditures on a peace basis, is to sell the Shipping Board's ships and plant, sell It has served all material not adapted to ship bulld- | ndon the project | ing purposes and of building and operating a merchant marine. Readers of The Evening World have been shown that by quick action on the Shipping Board matter about one billion dollars could be demobilized out of the deficit which has been predicted by all authorities on Government finances. The “lamor against sell- ing the former German passenger and freight vessels seized by this country as spoils of war brings the issue squarely before the only branch of the Government which in this instance can constitu- tionally protect the interests of the taxpayers—the Congress.
