Great Billon Dollar Fleet to End Sub Menace
Washington reports Congress will be asked to authorize 5 000 000 to 6 000 000 tons in bonds to build a great American fleet to counter the submarine threat. The Shipping Board plan shifts steel mill output to government use, cancels private contracts, and may pay damages. It foresees about 1 000 000 000 in steel and wooden vessels built by government in two years, with banned production only for national defense needs.
