general chartering board is to be
appointed by the shipping board, to

tering board will also have power to

Vital Primary Principle.

I'VE reiterate, in conclusion. the
pressing necessity for recognizing one
vital and primary principle. the re
mort states "A government which
cannot itself discriminate between its
citizens cannot tolerate condition
which encourages private organizat tions
ically and economically such a policy
spells disaster. 1t destroys the respon-
sibility of management which is vital
, to successful production. and denies In
our own democracy the basic principles
Of Individual liberty and opportunity,
for which it's citizens since the founda-
ton of the republic have shed freely of
their blood and for which today they
are prepared to die on alien soil"
The statement indorsed the defense
councils plea that employers and en-
ployes in private industries should not
attempt to take advantage of the ex-
the standards which they were unable
to change under normal conditions"
