By all means let us have a national policy foster- ing and aiding our shipping without going to the socialistic extreme of government owner- ship and operation. In this issue the evils of the paternalistic activities of the government are forcibly pointed out in the leading edi- torial; in extracts from testimony before the special committee of congress investigating the shipping board; and in an article from our Washington correspondent. You will also find in this issue an interest- ing analysis of the relation between the trans- fer charges at terminals and the cost of the long haul at sea. The active building and con- version to diesel power now going on is fully covered by illustrations and data on 11 note- worthy vessels. BRANCH OFFICES BOSTON - - + = = + + 426 Old South Bldg.
