American Government's
Charter Rate.. Washington, September 26- A charter rate of $5.75 a ton a" month had been decided on by the Shipping Board us a basis of what the Government will pay for requisitioned ocean-going merchant vessels. Within a short time the Board will take over for Government use every American vessel available for overseas, service. The vessels will be. requisitioned and turned back to " their owne's in-mret cases for operation, probably on time charter in the trades which the Government holds are most necessary for a successful conduct of the war. In this manner the Shipping Board will have com plete control of ocean freight rates en American-carried goods and can direct the service of all vessels flying the American flag, Both the army and the navy have commandeered many ships for their own uses at varying rates. the navy operatin e those it has taken as auxiliaries, and the army running its vessels as transporte and supply ships. In the futura the Shipping Board will do all requisitioning, turning over to the army and navy vessels needed in thore services Before the war the charter rates for North' Atlantic shipping varied from $3 to $3 a ton, Since high as $35. the war the rate has ranged as between $8 and $13, according to It now ranges
the character of the cargo. The the condition of the vessel and
new Government rate of $5.75 is elightly less than the British Government rate of 25 to 28 shillings a ton for commandeered vessels. British vessels operated on private account by consent of shillings a ton, but must pay a heavy tax on their pr. fits.
