Philadelphia to be center of nations mercantile shipping
Washington report on a Republican plan by Senator Jones to make Philadelphia the center of U S mercantile shipping. Proposals include creating Merchant Marine corporations to run government ships for thirty years, with a nine member board, new headquarters in Philadelphia, and the Emergency Fleet corporation to be abolished. The plan envisions a U S merchant fleet of about 13 000 000 tons and Britain and the U S controlling about two thirds of world tonnage by 1920 with most foreign trade ships government owned. Private enterprise would not absorb the fleet quickly.
