Chairman" Lasker Thinks Fiye
Million a' Month Will Be
Sufficient Now
WashingtoTt, Sept. I. The shipping
boArd whieh President Ha41ijr(njly
stated had entailed expenditure! frois
the treasury of approximately three and
half billion dollars, "is getting in
sight of the end of the need for asking
great sums," Chairman Lasker an
nounced today. '
The board chairman made his an
nouncement in connection with submis
sion to Director of Budget Dawes of
additional estimates amounting to 120,-1
.WO.OOO, which he said would be needed
by the board to continue operations this
fiscal year. Next year, .lowever. tbo
chairman added, board operations
should not cost the government more
than 3O,0O0,0O0 one half of the amount
estimated as necessary this year.
The appropriations for the two years.
totalling lf0,000,000 Chairman Lasker
said, should if construction were left
out of consideration, tide the board
over until world trad conditions im
proved and the provisions of the mer
chant marine act came fully into effect.
If world business is improved, he
added, "the pperating loss sustained
by the board ia expected to bo wiped
out. In addition, as we collect back
dchs due the board our appropriations
will become smaller until we hope there
will come-, timo when the receipts and
expenditure? will balance."
Claims outstanding against the. board
were estimated by the chairman at be
tween $15,000,000 and 120,000,000 but to
offset these, he said, were millions of
dollars due the board on back debts
which the board is hopeful of collect
ing. Operations during Jaly, he added
entailed a loss of $5,700,000 as compared
with 110,000,000 to 12,000,000 several
months ago. llo predicted the board
would be able to operate for the re
mainder of the fiscal year at a losi
of not more than IS.OOO.OOO a month.
