Pull Together for an American Merchant Marine The war resulted In the creation of a great merchant marine—lo,ooo,ooo tons of American ships which cost us $3,000,000,000. Everybody agrees that w« must keep this fleet on ths seas. If we fall back to pre-war conditions—when only 9 per cent of our foreign trade was carried In American ships — We shall be in the position of a department store whose goods are delivered in its competitor’s wagons. Congress Is considering legislation which will perpetuate our wur-bullt merchant marine. Until this, Is done the ships we have should not be sold to face conditions which, prior to the war, resulted in the decline of our merchant marine to insignificance. This Committee calls attention to these facts because a right solution of our shipping problem is vital to the future prosperity of shipbuilding, but equally vital to the safety and prosperity of the nation.
