O Connors Urges Traders to Use American Ships
Chairman O Connor of the Shipping Board writes to over ten thousand foreign trade firms urging cooperation to enlarge the American merchant marine.

He calls for concerted effort by U S business leaders to cut deficits while expanding the merchant fleet.
