Washington-The Merchant Marine Act. which- passed through Congress on the closing day of its session, June 5 and was rushed to the White House in time to be signed by the President, sets forth in its opening paragraph that it is necessary for national defence and the proper growth of domestic and foreign commerce that the United States shall have a merchant marine of the best type, sufficient in size to. carry the larger portion of American commerce and to act as a naval suxiliary in time of war. Under the terms of this Bill, which accepts the policy of ultimate private ownershipot the Government's merchant fleet, the Shipping Board is allowed a large discretion as to the time, price, and The New York Eroung Sun, in an Japan.

ONE PROVISION HITS LLOYD'S. Among other provisions of the Bill is one on insurance, which effects Lloyd's in London, for it directs the Government to use the American Bureau of Shipping for classification of all bottoms. The Bill encourages the organization of American com panies to carry the risks and provides for the Government to underwrite them in the event that private capital will not become interested. Only 10 per cent of American bulls at present are insured by American comparies.

Although this Bill is generally con- ceded as one of the most important pieces of legislation in the United States in recent years, the great latitude allowed to the Shipping Board In developing and interpreting several provisions has been the occasion of diversified editorial com. ment. Before quoting this comment, it is worth while to examine state- ments made by Senator Wesley L. Jones, Republican, of the State of Washington, who sponsored the mea- sure. Expressing the opinion that the success of the Act depends upon the Shipping Board, Senator Jones goes on to say:

Our foreign trade comes and goes over long voyages. This makes the need for fixed routes with regular service very great. Not only should our railroads and international water- ways be most closely connected, but our railroads and overseas shipping lines should be brought into the closest co-operation. Congestion at our principal ports will be greatly relieved, if not entirely averted, if the business that is naturally tributary to certain ports comes to these ports to be handled. The Government has many great terminal facilites acquired during the war which should be used now for commercial purposes and in aid of our merchant marine
