Lasker-Farley Plan Declared Illegal by Daugherty
Attorney General Daugherty informed President Coolidge that the Lasker-Farley plan to solve the Merchant Marine problem is not legal under the Shipping Act. He said government ships may be disposed of only for cash or credits, not by transferring title to corporations formed under state law. He warned of risks including loss of legal title, control, immunity from suits, and state tax exposure, reiterating Congress’s policy of government operation until ships are sold.
