Shipping Board urged to extend ocean rate controls
Dr. Emory R. Johnson head of the rate investigation division of the United States Shipping Board released a report urging continued regulation of charter and freight rates until war related tonnage shortages are resolved.

He cautions opposition to regulation but argues the government must guide policy with practical effect similar to railroad regulation.
