The report was signed by Representatives Davis, Hardy, Bankhead, Bland and Briggs. Summarized the arguments are as follows: The sale of the vessels will mean a loss of $2,800,000,000. the loan provisions provide lower interest rates than are provided for farmer aid, the owners are exempted from Federal taxes on the property-, ocean rates will not be cheaper, repeal of the subsidy act in the next ten years is provided, the shipping board will not have to come to Congress each year for renewal of its appropriation, autocratic powers are conferred on the shipping board, the board will not have to report to Congress, the President or any higher authority, steamship lines are already making huge profits; the measure would subsidize corporations operating lines for their own products and the bill was rushed through without adequate hearings.
