Government to Run U S Ships Move Toward World Control
Washington reports plans to commandeer American cargo ships under a new act to operate and regulate ships through the shipping board. The move aims at joint control with Britain of world shipping, setting freight rates and reallocating vessels to transatlantic service, with ownership left to private operators under government charters. Norway offers to trade a million tons of shipping for food to avert famine if export embargoes are lifted, with Fridtjof Nansen asserting starvation risk unless imports from the United States resume.
