Critics will cite the choice as evidence of British influence, while Kennedy argues US merchant marine limits forced the selection. The piece also pokes fun at seafaring unions and earlier arms sales statistics.

Crehore foresees busy 1939 building season
Charles J. Crehore of Elyria Lumber and Coal Co cites Ohio Association data from the U S Labor Department showing the average 1939 dwelling at 3 359 00, about 850 lower than 1929. He notes buyers get 25 to 40 percent more house for the money due to design, construction, materials, and financing gains. Federal housing standards and 80 to 90 percent amortized loans through FHA aid have boosted incentives as local building activity rises, with 1939 expected to top 1930 as the best year for homes.
