THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, RICHMOND, IND., TUESDAY, JULY 19, 1921.
SHIPPING BOARD FLEET OPERATIONS RESULT IN $380 WOO LOSS WASHINGTON. July 19. Operations of the ehipplng board's fleet for the fiscal year Just ended resulted In a loss of approximately J380.000.000. Chairman Lasker of the board announced late Monday. This deficit was greater by $280,000,000 than previous estimates from jfflcial sources and was made following in examination of all board accounts.
The government's venture in the merchant marine business last year
involved a total expenditure of J 680,'
000,000, so far as could be ascertained
from the boards books, which air. Lasker described as in bad shape.
The new chairman estimated that it
would cost the government $300,000,' 000 to carry on operations this year. $150,000,000 to ' Be Asked A deficiency appropriation of $150,'
000,000 for the shipping board is to be
asked in a few days. Chairman Jones of the commerce committee informed
the senate. - ' "The situation there Is critical.'
said Senator Jones, adding that the
proposed appropriation was designed
to save several hundreds of millions
The appropriation, he said, was an obligation taken over from the last
administration.
In asserting that an examination of the books showed , that $380,000,000 had been expended from the public funds of the shipping board last year,
Mr. Lasker said this "revealed an as
tounding case of absolute deception to
the country and congress.
"The preident was astonished and
dismayed that such a condition could
exiBt when I laid these figures before
him this afternoon, but he wanted me to give the public the facts," he added. System at Fault Total expenditures over receipts appeared to be approximately $380,000,-
000, Mr. Lasker said, instead of $99,-.
618,567.11 as previously shown by the board's books. A commercial concern operating on a similar basis would have been in the hands of a receiver come time ago, the chairman asserted, saying also that he knew this state of affairs was not the fault of Admiral Benson, ex-chairman of the board, nor of Controller Tweedale. He said that it was due to the system started during war and continued until recently. The money that is unaccounted for was said by the chairman to have been disbursed by operators of government-owned boats for which a full accounting has not been made. The
chairman further asserted that of
9,000 voyages made, only 3,000 had been accounted for. and that 200 auditors were now working on the books
of these operators to find out what
happened.

highway departments, designate, with
the approval of the secretary of agri
culture, the roads to receive federal
aid. Each state for the present would
be limited to designate a system of seven per cent of their present road
mileage to consist of inter-state and inter-county roads. The percentage
is to be increased as the roads are constructed and completed. This section provides the so-called "farm to market" roadway system, which the Farm Bureau federation advocates so strongly. Both bills provide that when a state fails to properly maintain a highway constructed with federal aid the federal government can authorize the necessary improvements and charge the cost against the state's federal highway aid allotment United in Demand However they may differ as to a policy for the federal government's part in road building and maintenance farmers, merchants, manufacturers, road building contractors and just plain automobile "fans," who are legion, are united in a demand that the central government shall continue to give generous aid to the establishment
of permanent highways throughout the country.
It has been estimated that at least 30,000,000 Americans are advocates of good roads. Their demands will be heeded by congress. Of the agencies which are behind the good roads movement, 56 were organized to promote the construction of certain national or interstate highways, 15 are national or interstate good roads associations, 34 are state organizations, 304 are automobile associations and motor clubs, 260 are road contractors, material or machinery trade associations and engineering societies, 32 are motor truck and automobile trade associations, and
131 are publications devoted to thb movement in one form or another. Help Auto Industry The agitation to date has brought about the construction of 310,000 miles of surfaced highways. Upon highway development the automobile industry, fourth largest in the country, is de
pendent for its stability and upon increased road mileage for greater expansion. The roadways of the United States are now traversed by 9,211,295 licensed automobiles and trucks. These cars consumed 3,200,000,000 gallons ot gasoline last year, which is sufficient explanation for the tidal wave of protest against the proposed tariff on petroleum which has recently inundated congress.. Since 1880 more than $3,000,000,000 has been spent for highway improvement in the United States and Canada. More than $1,300,000,000 is now available and $1,500)00,000 will be
necessary to carry out projects under contemplation. Billions more must be expended, it Is said, before t.vs country has anything like a nation H highway system- adequate to traffic needs. .. -

These emigrants, according to the American consular officials, who hear their stories and have to tell them there is not much chance for them to get back, are greatly disappointed with what they found in the "Promised Land." They tell of starvation and long rides in trains so packed with people that there is scarcely room to breathe. Besides those who have succeeded in getting to Latvia, there are many others who have written friends in
Riga asking for money from America. Many Sell Belongings.
