Armings of merchant ships eyed as Congress acts
The House approved a bill to modify the Neutrality Act to permit arming of merchant ships. Navy Secretary Knox said the Navy is ready to place guns on American merchant ships once authorized, noting sufficient guns exist though not all can defend against both air and submarine threats. Armor increases would slow submarines as ships stay submerged and torpedoes become scarce. Henderson, price administrator, said defense spending rose but still a small share of national income, while war production and tank outputs show gains. Agriculture notes farm labor at 54 percent of normal and crop prospects improving about two percent, with farmers raising wages to retain workers.
