4 . WASHIN GTON, March 25. Recent developments re“weal an increasing ‘consciousness that America must prepare to meet post-war problems even while making an. all-out «contribution to: united nations victory. Winning the war,

of course, comes first. *

“Too little, too late” can happen here again'when peace

comes. That is recognized by our ‘nation’s. leaders, both in

‘and out of the congress; and

by the vast majority of the American people ‘themselves. ; ‘Naturally, my chief concern is with the maritime phase of our post-war planning. Paradoxically, . the war is serving both to simplify - » and complicate that planning. % Need Expanded Markets * The principal phases simplified are: ‘ An adequate supply of post-war tonnage and sufficient capacity to build any additional requirements; Ample - trained manpower, for A merchant ship | production, maintenance and operation; . Technical development of requisite. speed, ‘quality and efficiency” in merAR chant ships; : ; Expanded mar- ~ Admiral Land ‘yc 05 America during at least the post-war period « of world economic rehabilitation and re-establishment; and . The war-induced and highly gratifying reawakening of all of the American peovle to the" nation’s ‘need for a-merchant shipping second ‘to none, and to the detérmination to give our own merchant fleet “full and patriotic support. . Several Problems

The chief complicated problems are: - Definite and proper determination ' of essential permanent world trade routes: 'A" Decision in advance on what types “of passenger and ‘cargo ships will be best suited to those trades; How best to integrate and admin ister operations of merchant ships and merchant aircraft in America’s world commerce; - - What proper and equitable competitive and collaborative interna- ; tional relationships to establish; and The proper procedure to follow

private enterprise to meet the mandate of the merchant marine act of 1936 with the minimum of governs

ment ownership and control. §

nent government agency for. thé sole purpose of administering it, places our nation in the most advantageous position it ever has occupied to defive full benefit from its shipping resources. Our. wartime ship building record thus far is ample proof of that legislative sagacity. : It is regreitable that we allowed our once great maritime establishment to lapse into such inactivity that our. economic security was threatened before proper remedial action was taken. We were almost —not quite—too late. Our merchant marine history hhs

| some bright, more unhappy, chap-

ters, many of our experiences have been bitter. But we have learned— are constantly learning more—from them. Merchant ships under the American flag have carried, at various periods in our national existence, as much as 92 per cent of our world trade and at other times as little as 8 per cent. It is not necessary to review our errors made in the wake of the first world war. It is necessary, however, for us to be ever mindful of them 50 they will not be repeated. Never

{again must we become dependeht

on foreign flag ships to carry the major portion of our imports and exports. “Travel and ship American” are clearly the objectives of the merchant marine act of 1936 and subsequent legislation by the congress. Whether those objectives are fully reached depends on the American people and the extent to which they support their own merchant marine. Our goal is to have the best ships in the world—and as many of therh as any other nation—in the postwar. period. Whether we attain it is dependent on the fortunes—or misfortunes—of war, and the policies adopted at the peace table. | We intend, too, that those ships carry a sufficient portion of world trade to restore the United States to a maritime position befitting’ a nation of her status.

FOR TO REPEAT COAL PACT PLEA

He'll Ask Southern Bloc to Extend Contract With U.M. W.

WASHINGTON, March 25 (U.P.). President Roosevelt today is expected to repeat his emphatic request to southern coal operators to extend the current union contract with ~ the United Mine Workers union in spite of the operators’ re-

miners be certified to the war labor board. a ” The president, acting after it appeared certain that present negotiations between soft coal operators and John L. Lewis’ union would be futile, had urged continuation of present agreements, which expire March 31, with the proviso that any adjustments be retroactive 10 April 1.

‘Southern Group Balks

The northern operators and Mr. Lewis signed a pact to this effect yesterday, but the southern conference balked. 'It was to vote today on an aperators’ proposal that

ly and that the war labor board meanwhile consider the dispute. An authoritative source said that the southern operators, whose hos-! tility to the northern producers is long-standing, are playing “a straFie poker game.” e southern group will sign the Sobinin urged by the president, he said, but “only after they have! been coaxed again.” He added that. the southerners “want to get across’ to the public the fact that they are a distinct entity and don’t want the northerners to dictate to them.”
