Report Opposes Ship Subsidy Bill by Senate Minority
Washington March 15. Senator Berry leading the minority of the senate committee on commerce today filed a report opposing the pending ship subsidy bill. The minority criticizes the bill as wrong in principle, unjust, and a form of class legislation, arguing it taxes the entire people for the benefit of one industry and risks aiding foreign partners through subsidized ships. They claim the bill lacks anti trust safeguards and may lead to mergers that fix freight and passenger rates.
