Private ownership urged by Hurley on war drive
Chairman Edward N Hurley of the United States Shipping Board argues that private ownership and operation outperform government control. He cites cost shifting, incentives, and production efficiency, noting the cost plus system damaged workers and managers, and that government ownership tends to lower output. He recalls a Paris talk with Kerensky on energy and productivity and warns against relying on state control for national vitality. The report covers his war service insights and a separate county land sale in Santa Fe County.
