For American standards.

This board would have supreme author
.ty over shipping matters and would
recommend from time to time such adj
d.toudl legislation as might be necessary
to place tao shipping industry OF this
country more nearly on "A competitive
basis with European nations and yet re-
tain the American standards OF living
and compensation.
1t would be possible, the committee be-
licves, for this board to ascertain within
a very few dollars the difference Ia cost
between operating a vessel under the
American tag and American standards
and under any selected foreign flag with
its standards. This difference in cost ig
is proposed the Government should make
good. because Il is the result II national
policies and national conditions which
private citizens cannot control.
Under this plan every risk would be
borne bv private capital and the Govern
ment would not be asked TO invest "A
single dollar on the success OF the
management OF the vessels or the profits
OF the voyage.
The committee suggese ed that the con-
tracts between the Government and the
shipowners be for twenty years. so any
one undertaking The construction ot
American vessels for foreign trade might
look forward to equitable conditions du.-
ing tn ordinary life Of vessel The
committee also recommended that the
