Germany considers shipping subsidies and possible nationalisation
World Business notes Germany faces halved mercantile marine since 1914 and weighs postwar methods to rebuild. The draft bill offers subsidies up to 80 percent for early ships, tapering to 20 percent over nine years, with total costs near 1 000 000 000 marks. Some lawmakers urge state ownership akin to railways, arguing potential profits could offset the outlay.

Sir Eric Geddes asserts that 46 to 50 percent of submarines operating in the North Sea Atlantic and Arctic Oceans have been sunk since the war began and notes three months losses rival all of 1916 while urging Parliament to see this as a Navy plus mercantile marine record for victory. A separate bakery ad invites orders to Scheikowsky Victoriast for weddings birthdays and cakes.
