20 U. S. SHIPPING DISPUTE SETTLED Gen. Goethals to Build and Board to Operate New Fleet Washington, July 13. The con troversy over the Government's ship ping program has been settled by President Wilson by directing the Kmergency Fleet Corporation, of which Major General Goethals is man ager. to take charge of construction and by authorizing the Shipping Board to operate the vessels after they are built and to requisition and operate tonnage now on the seas. The President, by dividing the pow ers conferred on him by Congress, cleared the way for an Immediate speeding up of construction. General Goethals at once will- commandeer the contracts for most of the 2,000,- 000 tons of ships building in Ameri can yards and will put on double and triple labor shifts to hurry their com pletion. Under the shipping law. the Fleet Corporation is empowered, also, to commandeer supplies needed for ship construction, but It is believed yes terday's agreement between the Gov ernment and steel interests will make this step unnecessary. The empowering legislation, as originally drluwn, authorized the President to delegate to the general manager of the fleet Corporation per sonally the power to spend $500,000,- 000 for shipbuilding and to put the general manager in charge of con struction. As tinally passed, however, the measure left the Kxecutive free to choose his own agency, and out of this' grew the controversy between Chairman Denman, of the Shipping Board, and General Goethals. The action of the President was hailed byGeneral Goethal's friends as a victory, although Chairman Den man, as president of the Corporation, must approve all contracts. It was made clear last night, however, that General Goethals will be given a free hand. The board will not interfere, it is understood, with his pians. Most of the $500,000,000 appropriat ed for ship construction has gone in to contracts for steel and wooden ships. A sum of $250,000,000 author ized for commandeering contracts and for requisitioning tonnage on the seas will be divided, it was announced last night, between the Shipping Board and the Fleet Corporation. The ap portionment has not been determined, but most of it probably will be used to speed construction. Chairman Denman has asked General Goethals to outline a plan for commandeering contracts and ships on stocks that the Shipping Board may know how much money will be required. General agreements between the Government and producers as to sup-' plies and prices, similar to yesterday's steel agreement, are expected to make unnecessary the exercising of the power of cammandeer over any class of supplies. Chairman Denman and General Goethals are preparing to ask Con gress in the near future for a second $500,000,000 appropriation for ship construction. The spending of this money, it has been said, may revive the controversy as to what proportion shall go to steel and what to wooden construction. Mr. Denman believes wooden ships should have been given a large place in contracts that ob sorbed the first half million.

Consider able public Interest has recently been attracted to the big extension that direct trade with the United States has undergone.
