Steamship hearing urged as path to US shipbuilding gains
Senate Commerce Committee continued hearings on the Hanna Payne substitute bill. Charles H. King and Theodore Zarch testified for the bill while Clement Griscom outlined International Navigation’s U.S. shipbuilding plans. He argued American costs lagged Britain, that mail subsidies fall short, and that passage could spur four 14,000 ton ships within five years. Griscom favored a tonnage tax parity with Britain but cautioned against broad new measures. Senator Elkins pressed questions on equality with Britain and a potential tax shift.
