Ships Secrets Sought as Allies Transfer to American Flag
Senator Stone, Democratic chairman, pushed a resolution to publish facts about the American merchant marine. Commerce Secretary Redfield ordered secrecy on ship progress and registry changes to deny enemy access. Treasury also halted port clearings notices. The aim is to protect vessels and crews from attack while showing British ships moving to American registry to deter foreign owners. The issue arises amid Allied efforts to draw the U S into war, with officials dismissing claims of covert arming for submarine dawns.
