Short-Sighted policy on ships and the American flag
The piece criticizes Congress for failing to accept private bidders and to advance a government plan for operating a merchant fleet. It argues the shipping board plans to form government owned companies to cover world routes under the American flag, lamenting economic and political factors that hinder U.S. ship strength, and notes risks from Volstead act interpretations and seamen unrest. It also includes a warning about racial tensions as northern industrial centers face a large influx of southern Black migrants, urging fair treatment and careful consideration of costs. The column cites editorials from the Philadelphia Public Ledger and Philadelphia Record and reflects on John Burroughs celebrations and Governor Smith’s decision on the three-mile limit.
