Half Billion Lost In War By Shipbuilding
Charlottesville VA—Baward N Hurley, head of the United Shipping Board, told the University of Virginia Institute of Public Affairs that about 500 million dollars could have been saved if wartime shipping were built by private enterprise. He cited shipyard personnel rising from 50,000 prewar to 350,000 in 1919, with 180,000 more in steamship plants, and warned of waste from lack of private risk and incentive. He argued there is no sharp line between government and business and urged aligning public policy with private enterprise to curb excesses.
