New York Shipping Board Vessel Proposal Warrants American Control
A wartime era proposal argues for government backed offers to acquire and operate ships built in American yards with over a billion dollars in value. It urges that only American stockholders own the company and that at least a portion of vessels be kept in operation domestically, with the rest scrapped if not sold to Americans. Government aid, subsidies, and cargo priorities are discussed to preserve an independent merchant marine and prevent foreign control. Wage and supply concerns for shipyard and construction workers, winter stoppages, and material price pressures are noted as factors affecting shipbuilding and the labor market.
