President Harding Has Conference
With Shipping Board Officials,

Washington, April 14. A decision
was reached by President Harding and
members of the shipping board at a
two-hour conference here, today to pro
ceed at once to the consolidation of
the board's foreign trade lines nnd
then offer three lines and ships for
sale ninlcr the authorization of the
merchant marine act of 1020. condi

tained service.
The program decided on further pro
vides that if the government linds it
self unable to sell the ships and lines
without "justifiable sacrifice" the pol
icy then will be to procetsl to direct
government operation.
The whole policy as set forth ,in a
white house statement after the emi
ference was declared to be builded up
on the basic principle that the ad
ministration, waa determined that the
United States should have a merchant
marine. It was added that In fur
therance of that purpose, the support
of the shipping interests, the shipping
public and the American people is
counted upon.
The discussions today which re
suited from the failure of Congress
to pass the administration shipping
bill were said to have duped both
the President and majority of ship
ping membership were strongly oppos
ed to government operation, and it was
explained such a course would be en
tered upon only ns a last resort.
