Report of Conference Held in Washington, D. C. On May 22, 23, 1919 (Classic Reprint) - Couverture souple
Synopsis
This book presents the record of a conference between representatives of various American industries and government officials to discuss the future of the US merchant marine following World War 1. Attendees included representatives from shipping, manufacturing, banking, farming, and government sectors, and their diverse viewpoints are captured in the dialogue. The author provides an introduction outlining three national needs which the merchant fleet should be designed to fulfil beyond freight carriage: establishing an American overseas mail service, a centrally controlled wireless telegraph service, and a system for training American citizens to be the future officers of the fleet. The discussions which follow explore topics such as government ownership versus private ownership, the regulation of ocean freight rates, and the impact of foreign competition. Of particular note are the arguments made by representatives of farmers' organisations, who express deep concerns about the potential for profiteering and discrimination under private ownership. The book concludes with a summary of the main points of the discussions, highlighting the complexities of the issues involved and the need for careful consideration of all perspectives in shaping the future of the US merchant marine.
