Shape new ship bill creates new federal board
A shipping bill proposes a federal shipping board with broad powers to oversee deepwater traffic, similar to the Interstate Commerce Commission on land. It envisions government stock only if private subscriptions fail, with $50 million for 400 000 to 500 000 BRT of American built vessels to be leased or added to corporations. Vessels would be naval capable in emergencies and through bills of lading coordinated with rail lines under the U S flag. The measure awaits administration review before introduction in Congress.
