Chairman Lasker especially de. nounced the practice of using the funds derived from sale of assets to meet current expenses. He stated that last Four the Shipping Board used $200,000,000 in this way, and deluded the public and Congress into the belief that the total loss was the $100,000,000 appropriated by Con-
