Resignation

Reports from Washington state that Chairman Lasker of the Shipping Board has handed to the President his resignation, to take effect July 5. This is the day after the Leviathan returns to the transatlantic passenger service which she left as the Vaterland.

When Mr. Lasker became Chairman of the Shipping Board he made it understood that he would accept the appointment for two years only. That two years will expire on June 8.
