Shipbuilding record shows vast wartime fleet and savings
The United States Shipping Board chair Hurley reports canceling ship contracts costs and total investment in merchant ships. Net dead weight ton cost runs about 130 dollars, with market ton value around 210 dollars. Cancellations reduce 3.8 million dead weight tons, saving nearly 594 million. The fleet stands as second largest, built with rapid output and reduced red tape, though some graft suspicions linger.

Washington hotel whispers on soldier lands project
Senator Nathaniel B Dial of South Carolina urged Congress to back a soldier settlement plan using cut over lands for farms near Washington. He noted state vast tracts suitable for potatoes and vegetables, and said cooperation from Chamber of Commerce groups could reserve small farm tracts near the District. He cited a $200,000 earmark for arid land studies and predicted strong Republican momentum with Wood and Harding named as potential presidential nominees. He also defended farmers against daylight saving hostility, arguing they backed war efforts and national finance.
