Jones- White bill passes the House
The Jones-White bill to aid develop an American privately owned merchant marine was passed by the House and sent to the Senate. It would expand loan funds, allow private borrowing for ships, establish ten year mail contracts, raise naval reserve pay, create an insurance fund, and empower sale of ships to private interests. The act would also require officials to travel on American ships and grant wartime command of the fleet as a reserve navy. Only one amendment extending benefits to Filipino sailors succeeded.

Ford Stock Case Victory by U S Board of Tax Appeals
The Board of Tax Appeals ruled in favor of nine former minority stockholders of the Foard Motor Company in a $35,000,000 Ford stock tax case. It restrains the internal revenue service from levying extra tax for 1919 profits from selling stock to Henry and Edsel Ford. The board fixed stock value at $10,000 per share, above defendants’ 1913 valuation, potentially enabling tax refunds and reopening previous assessments.
