Shall U. S. Ships Pass Into Foreign Hands
Milton Bronner argues in Washington that Congress faces a choice over selling the United States Shipping Board fleet. He notes 1,300 ships on 41 routes now operate under the American flag and warns that private buyers want to pay world market price, which does not exist postwar. He contends a sale would hand ships to private interests at deep discounts while the government would bear losses on remaining vessels.
