  (The Clinchfield Navingtion Company, Inc.) has followed Hurley's progress. As they view the situation the principle difficulties of the (United States Shipping Board) are the completion of the wood ship-building program; the value and use of the wooden ships when completed; and the after-the-war shipping problems. Almost everyone recongnizes that the building of wooden ships was an emergency programme. The emergency use is passing. Why not, then, utilize wooden ships now built and still awaiting propulsion equipment as barges in coastwise trades? Why not also give some firm an opportunity to minimize the loss, resulting from the relatively high cost of construction by selling this wooden tonnage at this time to Allies, or even to neutrals, while a good market exists. As to steel ships, one can suggest to Hurley that he continue building in old established yards; continue strengthening all American lines and opening new lines; operate Tramp services. In regard to operation now and after the war, Barnett suggests utilizing Chinese or Lascar labor in firerooms and crew, except officers instead of adopting a plan of rebating the difference in labor costs. The operation cost is the real question of successful competition against foreign flags rather than the first cost of construction of the vessel. Coas is relatively the cheapest thing America produces, the dearest England produces. Ships are relatively the cheapest things england produces, while the American cost of construction is higher, but if operation is equalized, construction difference is a small matter. Therefore, Bartlett suggests that America make cheap coal bridge the difference in cost of construction and operation between United States and Brittish and Norwegian costs. The Consular service will have to be a molified. Barnett is enclosing suggestions made to General (George W.) Goethals regarding building ships in Japan and China which Hurley so successfully carried through at a later date. Enclosure ~ Ty. L.S. : 2pp : 4to
• CHUR #76 Letter : Goethals, (General) Geo(rge) W., Washington, (District of Columbia) to Charles M. Barnett, New York, N(ew) Y(ork) 1917/0710
  Goethals has noted Barnett's proposition of making arrangements through Barnett for the construction of ships in Japanese Yards. However, the productive capacity of shops within the continental limits of the United States, both as regards material and labor, is considerably in excess of the money which has been appropriated by Congress for ship construction. Goethals is not authorized nor is it necessary to go beyond the limits of the United States in making arrangements for the construction of steamships. Enclosure ~ Ty. Copy : 1p : 4to
• CHUR #76 Letter : Barnett, Cha(rle)s M., (New York, New York) to General George W. Goethals, Washington D(istrict of) C(olumbia) 1917/0630
  (The Clinchfield Navingation Company, Inc.) thinks that the American Shipbuilding situation for steel, wooden and composite ships is well in hand. But the Japanese yards haven't been covered. The Japanese yards, owing to a steel shortage, are operating only on a sixty percent basis of normal with a capacity for increased production. Barnett's Company is ready to send an experienced representative to the Far East to complete the necessary arrangements, and is willing to do the work on a reasonable commission basis. Barnett suggests that Goethal give the Clinchfield Company authorization to place contracts. Naturally, this plan should not have any publicity. The Plan has been discussed with (____) Ferris, who looks upon it with favor. Barnett will be glad to come to Washington. Ty. Copy, Ty. L.S.; Ty. Copy; and Ty. Copy : 1p : 4to and 4pp : 4to 3

  Reynolds appreciates his relationship with Hurley. Reynolds has gone before State and County Councils, Women's Committees and municipal and Community units composing the Field Division of the Council of National Defense, with many problems for their consideration. Under no conditions has their response been as wholehearted or as unified as has been their support of the policies which were laid before them in Hurley's behalf.
