Adequate Merchant I Marine Need Cited Should Match Size Os Army And Navy New York. Oct. 15. tl'l’i An American shipping official says that in the future we should have j a merchant marine large enough to match the size of our army and navy Frank J. Taylor, president of the American merchant marine institute. told the annual meeting of the Propeller club that th country might - not always be fortunate enough to have time to build cm- ■ rgency merchant fleets. He blamed the Inadequate m-r---chant fleet of peace time on people | who spread ,the fal«<e idea that America isn't a maritirn- country and who say it Is foolish to support and maintain an American merchant marine. Taylor cited figures to show how Axis powers anticipated war by I building,fast freighters and liners, j Japan, he said, built chips with a speed of 18 knots, osten-tibly t > carry nothing more than scrap iron. Germany and Italy merged their I merchant fleets to compete with other nations.
