Subsidy urged to bolster U S merchant marine in wartime
Albert D Lasker told a Senate commerce and House merchant marine panel hearings on the ship subsidy bill that government aid is essential to the marine and that the Shipping Board loses about 50 million yearly in operations. He says subsidy could cost 40 million annually, enable sale of government ships, and protect American labor standards while expanding overseas trade. He warns no return to prewar status and stresses 6 5 3 naval parity depends on a strong merchant fleet.
