The purpose OF the Government OF
the United States in continuing to ac-
quire millions of tons OF merchant
shipping seems to have become as
much OF a puzzle to those officially
responsible for the continuance OF the
programme as II Is to a bewildered
public.
Instead of clearing. the situation
grows steadily cloudier. American
shipping faces the lnescapable issue or
existing conditions under which II
cannot thrive, and multiplication or
tonnage is merely multiplication OF
It's difficulties To find a way out OF
the increasing confusion those who
have created the now all but hopeless
tangle have nothing to offer beyond a
constantly varying collection OF
theories that serve only to muddy the
situation still further.
II the Government has any actual
idea of where It is all to end there Is no
indication OF IT. But the building OF
ships goes blithely on to the accom-
panimept OF nightmare costs as the
Administration pours more and more
money into its will-o'-the- -wisp ques,
