Chamber Opposes Government Owned Merchant Marine Plan
The Boston Chamber of Commerce denounces Congress proposed government ownership of a U S merchant fleet. It calls for a privately operated system under a five member Shipping Board plus a federal loan fund and updated navigation laws to bolster overseas trade and naval reserves. It argues government ownership would raise costs and require subsidies, cautioning that U S ships would lose foreign subsidies and incur annual losses.
