That there is a serious divergence of opinion in the shipping board in regard to this policy comes out forcibly in the recent tangle over the Dollar bid for the five President ships. A full discussion of the subject will be found in this issue. We all know that the government is carrying out a diesel conversion program. An account is given in this issue of the present status of the work. The types of ships that are being built today both here and in England are illustrated and briefly described. | One of the strangest missions ever assigned to a ship is described in the story of the S..S. Ernyr, a floating laboratory for the extraction of bromine from sea water. BRANCH OFFICES BOSTON oS eo Se oe, eee SIG South lame. CHICAGO - - - = - = 1147 People’s Gas Bldg.
