The government-owned merchant
fleet was reduced during the fiscal
yter ended June so. is“. by e tot
of :50 ships. representing 1.071.890
deadwoigh't tons. according to state-
ments included in the tenth annual
report of the Shipping board as sub-
mitted to Congress today. i.
This reduction was accomplished
by selling ships to private interests
both for operation and for scrapping
purposes. With these sales. the to-
te. government-owned fleet hes boa
nducod to "t vessels. of 6.816.060
tons in the, aggregate. .
The tenth annual report of the
shipping board c ltutes largely
a review of its work it the establish-
ment and maintenance of an ade-
quate merchant marine and its li-
quidation and marine development
programs. Due to the fact that the
Merchant Merino Planning commit-
tee of the board is preparing a re-
port on the maintenance of Ameri-
can shipping. the board's annual re-
port does not contain any new re-
. tonimendetions to Congress.
p
than 50 per cent from the fiscal year
1926 to the fiscal year 1828. the re-
port showed. During 19“. .‘he
amount of losses wee about “1.000.-
000: in 1915 about ”0.000.000: and
during 1920 less then szo.ow.uw.
' lteduction of those losses. it is
«town by the report. is an import-
‘ll'l. feature of the Shipping Board's
,nrgram of liquidating the great
riuergency wartime fleet of which
,iiie government found itself in pos~
session at the close of the war. Part
or the reduction in losses during
1926 end preceding years was the
rrsult of savings incident to the sale
of ships. This was in accordance
with the purpose of the Merchant
Marine Act of mo ,ot establishing
a permanent merchant marine uitI~
metely to be privately-owned. A
much greater part of the reduction.
however. is directly traceable to im-
prove operatione. particularly in the
cargo services maintained by the
board. Better revenues were obtain-
ed end expenses were kept within
reasonable limits. the report says.
with the result that average losses
on operations were materially re-
duced. ‘

The greeterpart of the report sub-
mitted today deals with the board's
permanent work. In accordance
with the mandate of the Merchant
Marine Act the board has undertak-
ei; to form from the wartime iieet a
nucleus around which an American
tabiishcd and. as fast as purchasers
for those services could be develop-
ed. the, have been turned into pri-
vate hands for guaranteed operation
over a specific period of years.

been dwarfed or obscured by the
more spectacular functions attend-
ant upon the sale end operation of
ships. are largely of a regulatory
end promotional nature. having to
do with the administration of the
shipping laws as applied to the mor-
chant marine. These activities. as
shown by the report. are carried on
in seven bureaus. each under the
direction of one of the shipping
board commissioners. Borne of the
fractions of these burmus resemble
in many respects those exercised in
the case of railroads by the Inter-
state Commerce commission.
The several ways in which the
Board's program is developed are
summarised from the report as fol-
lows:

Loan Fund." amounting at present
to more then "0.000.000. Mans

type. Fifteen ships of the 5.000.

step from 7.600 to 12.000 tons each.
