Merchant ships shrink from 2600 to barely 300 in postwar shift
Washington June 5 The 2600 merchant ships built with Liberty Loan funds for WWI have dwindled to about 300 as private ownership takes over nine years after the war. The Shipping Board has disposed of all but 13 lines, with four soon to be sold. The Diamond, American France, and American Pioneer lines face disposal while the board keeps minimal operation to regulate private industry and aid intercoastal trade.
