Harding’s Call for a Strong Merchant Marine Plan
President urges Congress to authorize a national merchant marine program to replace aging ships and reduce annual losses. He warns that current government shipbuilding lacks a coherent plan, risking further public treasury drain unless decisive action is taken to establish privately operated, government-supported shipping serving all Americans.
Subsidy to Build American Merchant Marine
A speech argues for government aid to American shipping to curb an annual fifty million dollar loss and protect capital, outlining a plan where aid ceases once ten percent earnings are reached and excess profits repay the government. It frames the measure as vital to national defense and postwar commerce, noting international opposition and urging broad support.
