Schwab to Quit as Shipbuilder
Charles M Schwab plans to ask President Wilson to release him as director general of the Emergency Fleet Corporation. He aims to transition from emergency to economic work and continue the 12 to 13 million ton shipbuilding campaign with open seas policy and wage standards set by a government board. He notes labor deserves fair profit and foresees closer capi tal labor cooperation in coming years while deferring on specific future plans. He also clarifies that open seas apply to commerce among nations, but blockades may occur during war under international law.
