Bainbridge Colby', of the United Slates shipping board, in an address here la."t night advocated the placing of the millions of tons of shipping ship-ping built bv the government as a war emergency measure into the hands of private concerns for operations either through leaso or purchase. The government, govern-ment, he said, should absorb ihc initial cost of re-establishing America's merchant mer-chant marine and this would be justified justi-fied by the large benefits ' flowing to the nation's trade.
