Coolidge May Wreck Harding Ship Policy Proceeding With Ilis Usual Extreme Caution But Has Blocked Plan of Former President and May Take Government Out of Shipping Business Hjr DAV1B LAWRENCE C?*rrt?ht 1921. *> The Alttitf Washington, Sept. 13.?Sale of a few Government vessels to the Robert Dollar and Grace lines has revived the possibility that other private interests might find it worth while to make substan tial bids for the merchant fleet owned by Uncle Sam. As lonn as private interests realize the danger to their busi ness permanently of having tho Government in competition with them they will seek to buy the ships, but thus far the proposals made by most of me private con cerns have not been deemed suf- J flcient. The sentiment of the Shipping Board has been opposed to the sale of ships at what might be termed 1 ??give away" prices. It is true that the Shipping Doard Insists that cer tain trade routes'be guaranteed as a consideration of the sale and this, of' course, enters into the question of whether a shipping company can make a prpflt on the line it seeks to establish. The present operators of Govern ment ships, who receive a commis sion which is shortly to be termlnat-; ed by the board, and the American ! Steamship Owners' Association have pleaded with the Shipping Board to make it possible for them to buy the ships out of the earnings of the lines in the next few years. This would j mean, of course, that the Govern-; ment furnished the capital in the' form of existing ships and would re-. ceive a return on the investment only. if the lines are profitable. The idea has not met with the approval of the Board. The shipping people, however. In sist that something can be worked out whereby they will be enabled to buy Government ships. They argue that their experienced personnel might otherwise be turned into th? foreign shipping companies. The at titude of the shipping commissioners, on the other hnnd. Is that they would not be justified In giving away Gov ernment property at bargain prices and that the potential value of the Government flee* must be reckoned In terms of what the Government it self might yet be able to do by effi clent operation of subsidiary corpor ations which will consolidate various established lines. y i t-nidi'iit Cnulidui' for hcjiiio reas on or other has not been anxious to put the subsidiary corporation idea into effect quickly. President Hard ing approved it and was ready to go ahead. Mr. Coolidsre has seen fit to hold up the operation of the plan for further advice. He announced first the appointment of a special commit tee consisting of two cabinet officers, the chairman of the Interstate Com merce Commission and a member of the House and the Senate. The mem bers of the United States Shipping Board looked askance at this proce dure and began to wonder what the functions of the Shipping Board real lywere If matters of Importance re lating to shipping were to be submit ted to special committees. The Shipping Board incidentally is the creature of Conuress and is an inde pendent commission unrelated to the cabinet departments in any way. Mr. Coolidge- heard of this mur muring and summoned tUa. members of the entire Shipping Board to the White House where he explained he had Intended merely to seek the ad vice of others beside, the Shipping Board and that he wai ted to he sure of the legality of the plan. The gen eral counsel of the Shipping Board had passed on the legality but Mr. Coolidge wanted to make sure the Department of Justice nlso approved. Now word has come from the White House that If the leeal opinion is fa vorable. the special committee will be i-ked to pass on the Shipping Board's proposed policy. The impression which dlsinterest . d observers get Is that Influences have been at work to persuade the President to supersede the plans of the Shipping Board with others more favorable to the disposition of the ships In quicker* time to private own ers. The United States Chamber of Commerce, headed by Julius H. Barnes, an intimate friend of Seere 1?ry Hoover, who is to be a member of the President's special committee, openly states that It believes the Gov FOR TIRKS Hood, Ol.lflWil i?ml MlrliHIn ? ?kr henl llrr. for the roonrjr invrolml.

The President himself is not a Government ownership man and In , the face of the conflicting currents i he is proceeding with extreme cau-: tion, hoping he can reconcile the va rious viewpoints to the practical facts of the situation.
